Year R – Wednesday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Wednesday 8th July

Subject focus	What we need to learn:	How we might learn it:
Literacy/ Physical	Children show good control and co-ordination in large and small movements.	Cloud Writing Fun Instead of using traditional writing tools today encourage your child to practise writing using their finger in either shaving foam or sieved flour. Say a sound (digraph/trigraph) can your child write it? Extra challenge: Can they write some words with that sound? Can they then put the words into sentences verbally?
Maths	Children… say which number is one more or one less than a given number.	You will need: a beach ball or other large ball. Give your child a 1 more or 1 less number challenge e.g. what is 1 more than 7? After giving them a short time to think, throw the ball to them , they must throw the ball back to you giving the answer to the question. If they get the answer right you may take one step apart. Repeat the activity asking a different 1 more/1less answer. How far apart can you get?
Other: Physical – Health and self-care	Children make observations … and explain why some things occur.	Create a Windcatcher. Step 1: Draw a large spiral on a paper plate or a circle of card. Step 2: Ask your child to decorate it with their own design. Step 3: Ask your child to carefully cut along the line of the spiral with a pair of scissors. Step 4: Attach a piece of string to the centre of the spiral and hang outside or near a window. Step 5: Enjoy the windcatcher as it spins in the breeze. Talk with your child about what is making the wind catcher move. Why might it move more /less?
