Year R – Monday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Monday 8th 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.

Listen to the Author Sue Hendra read her book ‘Barry the Fish with Fingers’ on Youtube: Barry the Fish with Fingers read by Sue Hendra 

Talk with your child about all the things Barry said he could do with his fingers e.g. Finger painting, cutting, knitting etc. 

Think of other things you can do with your fingers and make a list together. e.g . write, play piano etc

Extra challenge: Use one of the items of your list to write a sentence e.g I can play the piano with my fingers.

Offline activity: Alternatively choose your favourite water themed book and talk about any similarities you have with one of the characters. 

Maths Children count reliably with numbers from one to 20, place them in order.  Put up numbers 11-20 on a wall or on an outside floor. Say a number and ask your child to hit the correct number using a water pistol (or alternatively use another item you can aim with e.g balled up socks). Encourage your child to record each number they hit or miss in a simple table e.g .

Numbers I Hit Numbers I missed
Other:  Children handle equipment and tools effectively.

Cutting skills

Ask your child to create a sea or fish picture by cutting out fish, sea creatures, seaweed, treasure chest etc. and sticking them onto a picture to create a water scene.

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.
