Year R – Thursday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Thursday 2nd July

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
Literacy Children read some common irregular words.

Tricky word ball skills

Write some of the tricky words your child finds challenging on cups, cones or bottles. Place them in a line with equal spaces between them. Ask your child to read each word as they dribble a ball past each one. Score one point for each word read correctly.

Repeat the activity and see if your child can beat their previous score (change the words if they got them all right the first time!).

Example tricky words:

Maths Children recognise, create and describe patterns.

Sports Shirt Patterns

Using up to 4 colours, ask your child to create a design for a sports shirt for their favourite sporting activity.  

They must include a pattern on their shirt.

Ask your child to talk about and describe the pattern they have created.

Other: Physical Children know the importance for good health of physical exercise…and talk about ways to keep healthy and safe.

Hold your own sports day with your child.

 This could include:

  • balancing the ball on a bat (made earlier in the week) for as long as possible without dropping it.
  • a boiled egg and spoon race.
  • an obstacle course with a range of objects to go over and under.
  • jumping, hopping, skipping or running races.

Remember to email the school to let us know how you’ve got on. We’d love to see examples of what you’ve been up to.
