Year R – Monday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Monday 1st June

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
Literacy Children listen to stories, accurately anticipating key events and respond to what they hear with relevant comments, questions or actions.

Visit the Book trust website and read the story ‘Rumble in the Jungle’.

(alternatively you could read a different animal themed story of your own choice, preferably a story that rhymes e.g Gruffalo)

Talk to your child about rhyming words. A word rhymes when the middle and end sounds are the same (the sounds are the same but not necessarily the letters e.g bear / pair).

Extra challenge: Can your child identify any rhyming word in the story?

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

Give your child a list of numbers 1-20.

Go on a walk around your local area  and encourage your child to spot as many numbers on their list as they can. As your child finds a number they can cross it off. Note: if you are shielding or self-isolating your child could do this around the home.

Other: Music

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

Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements.

Singing and dancing

Ask your child to sing and dance to their favourite animal songs.  Can they move in the same ways as the animals in the song. Moving high and low, fast and slow.

Down in the jungle

Five little monkeys

Additional challenge: Can they make their own instruments to accompany the songs?

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.
