Year R – Thursday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Thursday 14th May

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
Literacy Children use their phonic knowledge to write words in ways which match their spoken sounds. They also write some irregular common words.

Watch the snail and the whale on BBC IPlayer or read the book if you have it.

Ask your child to write about their favourite part of the story.

Alternatively:

  • Ask your child to write about a time when they have been to the beach/seaside.

or

  • Ask them to write about their favourite sea creature or minibeast.

or

  • Ask them to write about something they have really enjoyed doing at home this week.
Maths Children use everyday language to talk about position.

Children use everyday language to talk about position.

Give your child the key vocabulary:

Challenge your child to look around the house for things they could describe using these words e.g My teddy is on top of my bed. The box is under the table.

Other: Technology Children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools.

Ask your child to look around your home for items that use technology to make them work. E.g. phones, laptops, tablets, washing machines, TV, digital clocks etc. Can you find at least 10 objects?  

Can they talk about how the item works or what it does?

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.
