Year R – Tuesday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Tuesday 16th June

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
Literacy – phonics/reading Children use phonic knowledge to decode regular words and read them aloud accurately

Draw a rainbow with the trigraphs/digraphs that your child finds more challenging written on each of the bands.

Give your child some words that contain these digraphs/trigraphs. Ask them to read them and then write them onto the correct band on the rainbow.

Digraph/ trigraph Example words

Maths – pattern Children recognise, create and describe patterns. Today you will be revisiting making patterns with a focus on colour. Can your child make a repeating pattern using two or three colours. E.g. red,yellow,red,yellow,red,yellow (2 colours) or red,red,yellow,green,red,red,yellow,green (3 colours)

Expressive Arts and Design: Exploring and using Media and Materials

Children safely use and explore a variety of materials, tools and techniques experimenting with colour and design.  Explore mixing colours to make new colours. This could be done most effectively with paint but you can also mix colours with colouring pencils, crayons, chalk and some colouring pens. Try to focus on mixing the primary colours red, yellow and blue. How many different colours can you and your child make? Can you and your child create your own patchwork ‘Elmer’ elephant picture using the colours you have made?

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.
