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

Year R Home learning for Tuesday 23rd 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	Visit the phonics bloom website and play the phonics Frog phase 3 game: https://www.phonicsbloom.com/uk/game/phonics-frog?phase=3 In the game the frog can only jump on the logs that have real words. So your child will have to read the words on the log and decide which are real and which are nonsense. Offline alternative Using phase 3 digraphs/trigraphs give your child a selection of words they sound out. Some of them need to be real words and some nonsense e.g teeth, jeeth, loot, zoog, fight, pighd etc.Ask your child to sort them into two piles. A pile of real words and a pile of nonsense words. Useful information: Phase 3 digraphs: sh, ch, th, ng, ai, ee, oo (book/moon), oa,ar, or, igh, ur, ow (cow), oi, ear, er, air, ure.
Maths – calculation – addition – problem solving	Children can add with two single-digit numbers and count on to find the answer. They can solve problems.	You will need a box (in which objects cannot be seen) and up to 20 small objects e.g. toys/beads/pegs. Step 1: Choose a number (1-20) without telling your child the number you have chosen. Step 2: Count the objects into the box one at a time with your child. Step 3: Ask your child: “Can you tell me how many objects are in the box?” Step 4: Ask your child to write the number that you have counted into the box on a piece of paper. Step 5: Add one more object to the box (without showing the objects inside) and ask your child “How many are there now?” Step 6: Ask your child to write the number down. Step 7: Show your child how many are inside the box and count to check. Did they get the answer right? Repeat the activity using other numbers up to 20. Challenge: Can they write the addition number sentence related to the maths problems they have solved.
Other: 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, design and texture.	Finger painting – Talk to your child about the things you might see or eat at the circus. Ask them to use their fingers to paint one of the objects, animals or people and add different textures to enhance the picture e.g. ribbon on the balloons, bubble wrap on the popcorn, pom pom on the clown hat and wool for his hair.
