Year R Home learning for Thursday 2nd April
| Subject focus | What we need to learn: | How we might learn it: |
| Literacy – listening and attention | Children answer ‘how’ and ‘why’ questions about their experiences and in response to stories or events. | Visit the school website and listen to Miss Beckwith reading the story of the cautious caterpillar https://langstoneinfants.co.uk/story-videos/ . Talk to your child about all the different events that happened in the story. What happened first? Next? After that? You can download some talk cards linked to the story from Twinkl at https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-526292-the-cautious-caterpillar-differentiated-talk-cards (if you are not already registered visit www.twinkl.co.uk/offer and use the code CVDTWINKLHELPS ) |
| Maths | Children explore the characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them. |
Focus: 2D shapes – triangle, circle, square and rectangle. How many different 2D shapes can you find in your home? Remind your child what the 4 shapes look like – you could use a shape song e.g. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zhnvcdm Sort the objects found into 4 groups and talk about what you can see – encourage the use of words linked to their properties: e.g, 2D flat shape, sides, corners, straight, curved. |
| Other: Physical development |
Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements. They move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space. |
Focus: Different ways of travelling How many different ways can you travel? Talk to your child about different ways can you travel, can they suggest any? Practice moving in different ways: Hopping, skipping, jumping, running, jogging, |
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.
