Year R Home learning for Thursday 18th June
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: |
| Literacy | Children use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately. They also read some common irregular words. |
Help your child read colour words (that cannot be sounded out) by writing out the words and having the colour for them to match the word. (alternatively your child could go and find something in the house that colour and stick the word to it). Talk with your child about the parts of the word that make them tricky e.g. in the word blue the ‘ue’ is tricky because it’s not ‘u’ and ‘e’ but ‘oo’ Colour words you could help your child learn are: Blue, violet, purple, orange, yellow, indigo, white, gold, |
| Maths – length and height | Children order two or three items by length or height. |
Colour size sorting: Gather three to five items of the same colour together and first put them in order by length and then by height. Does the order change? Is the tallest item also the longest? Discuss together. Encourage your child to use the vocabulary short/shorter/shortest, long/longer/longest, tall/taller/tallest when talking about the objects and comparing length/height. |
| Other: The World – Technology | Children recognise that a range of technology is used in places such as homes and schools. They select and use technology for particular purposes. |
Snapshot of colours. Using a camera / smartphone (or other device with a camera) encourage your child to take pictures of the different colours around them that they find. Can they find something for all the colours of the rainbow e.g red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. |
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.
