Year R – Thursday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Thursday 4th June

Subject focus	What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
Literacy	Children read and understand simple sentences. They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately.	Using some of the tricky words your child has found more challenging over the last few weeks, play the target game you can see in the image above. Your child aims a ball (or other item) at the tower and reads the words they knock down. Alternatively you could play a different target based game of your choice.
Maths – Shape	Children explore the characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.	Ask your child to make an enclosure for animals at the zoo in a certain shape e.g circle, square, rectangle, triangle. You could use any resources you have at home to make these e.g lego bricks, paper, pencils. Can your child talk about the shape they have made?
Other: Creative	Children use what they have learnt about media and materials in original ways. They represent their own ideas through… art and stories.	Zoo animal model Using playdough/salt dough or other modelling clay. Can your child make a zoo animal to go in their zoo enclosure? Ask them to think about what features they will need referring back to their fact cards and pictures from yesterday. Challenge: Can they write labels or fact posters for their zoo? https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-t-2544279-basic-salt-dough-playdough-recipe
