Year R – Monday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Monday 18th May

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:

Literacy

(Phonics/ Reading)

They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately.

Trigraph practise:

Label 4 cups with each of the following trigraphs: igh, air, ear, ure

Write out at least ten of the following words on small pieces of paper:

Phase 3 Phase 4

light

might

high

chair

hair

pair

ear

near

fear

beard

pure

cure

funfair

haircut

fright

bright

flight

stairs

spear

flair

clear

Ask your child to read the word then scrunch the paper up into a ball and aim it at the cup with the correct trigraph.

Maths Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place them in order. 

Draw the outline of a jellyfish without tentacles 

e.g:

Write out the numbers 1-20 and place face down on the table/floor. Ask your child to pick a number and place that many tentacles on the jellyfish. The tentacles can be drawn or made from objects e.g pencils, string,  or whatever you have at home. Can your child count out the tentacles accurately? 

Extra Challenge:

Create two jellyfish, pick two numbers and then add all of the legs together to find the total.

Other: Music Children sing songs, make music and dance, and experiment with ways of changing them.

Children sing songs, make music and experiment with ways of changing them.

Listen to the song ‘Baby Shark’ on youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqZsoesa55w

or

Listen to the song ‘Under the sea’ on youtube

Encourage your child to sing along and join in with the actions. 

Offline Alternative: 

Alternatively choose a song you and your child enjoy and sing along and make up dance moves to go with it. It can be a nursery rhyme or your favourite pop song.

Remember to email your child’s class teacher to let them know how you’ve got on. We’d love to see examples of what you’ve been up to.
