Year R - Tuesday's Home Learning - Langstone Infant Academy

Year R Home learning for Tuesday 7th July

Subject focus	What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
Literacy	Children read simple sentences. They use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately.	Visit the phonics bloom website and play the free game ‘Yes/No Yeti’: https://www.phonicsbloom.com/uk/game/yes-no-yeti?phase=3 In the game your child will have to read a simple sentence and then decide if the answer is yes or no. Example questions: Can a vet fix a jet? Can an ear hear? Is rain wet? Are the teeth of sharks sharp? Is all hair fair? Offline alternative: Write the example sentences above onto paper and ask your child to sort them into a ‘yes’ and a ‘no’ piles.
Maths	Children use everyday language to …compare quantities… and to solve problems.	Rain Gauge You will need: A large empty plastic bottle A marker pen Small stones Sharp scissors Step 1: Cut the top half off the plastic bottle. Step 2: Add a layer of small stones to the bottom half of the plastic bottle. This will help keep it weighed down. Step 3: Add some water to fill the bottle just above the pebble line Step 4: Use a marker pen and ruler to mark measuring lines at 1cm intervals on the side of the bottle, starting at the water line. Step 5:Turn the top half of the bottle upside down and place it inside the bottom half. Step 6: Place the bottle outside and wait for it to rain! When it rains your child can see what number the rain comes up to on their new rain gauge. Over time they can talk about which days it rained more and which days it rained less.
Other: Physical development	Children show good control and coordination in large and small movements. They move confidently in a range of ways, safely negotiating space. Children sing songs, make music and dance, and experiment with ways of changing them.	Watch, dance and sing a long with Olaf singing ‘In summer’ on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnEB2F_v_cE Alternatively ask your child to pick a song that they sing along with and dance to.
