Year R – Thursday’s Home Learning

Watch Micheal Rosen reading his book ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ (https://youtu.be/0gyI6ykDwds?list=PLAThMpgCu5chovzKWyxPTIUJ5otyhGz0d) or read your own favourite bear book.

Talk about the story together. 

• What obstacles did they come across on the hunt?
• Do you think the bear was a good bear or a bad bear? Why?
• How do you think the family felt at the end of the story?
• How would you feel if a bear chased you?

Draw a picture of a bear and write sentences to describe him/her.

Ask your child to find a range of different objects in your home (ensure they feel distinctly different in weight).

Give your child two different objects (one in each hand). Ask them to tell you which object feels light and which object feels heavy. Repeat with further objects.

Next step: 

Ask your child to put up to 3 objects in weight order using the correct mathematical vocabulary.

• light, lighter lightest
• heavy, heavier, heaviest

You could make labels with the above words for the children to label the objects.

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.

They move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space.

Continue with VE day preparations and play some music from the time (WWII) and some of the songs the children might have sung.  Can your child make a dance to go with the songs?
