Year R – Wednesday’s Home Learning

Year R Home learning for Wednesday 3rd June

Subject focus What we need to learn: How we might learn it:
Literacy – sentence writing/rhyme Children write simple sentences which can be read by themselves and others.  Some words are spelt correctly and others are phonetically plausible.

Using the rhyming words from yesterday or your own, ask your child to create their own silly rhyme sentences. Children can also make up their own nonsense words for this.

E.g. The pig has got a wig.

Or as an extra challenge create two sentences that rhyme.

E.g. There once was a pig. He had a silly wig.

Maths- Subtraction Children  count reliably with numbers from 1 to 20.  They subtract 2 single-digit numbers and count back to find the answer.

Use one of the animal pictures from yesterday (e.g. snakes) for your child to count objects onto.


Put numbers 1-9 in one pile and 10-20 in another pile.

Ask your child to choose a number from the 10-20 pile and count that many onto the animal picture. Next ask your child to pick a number from the 1-9 pile. Can they take that number away from the first group of objects and say how many are left?

Extra challenge:Can you get your child to write the number sentence e.g. 17- 5 = 12

Other: Understanding the World/The World Children know about similarities and differences in relation to …living things and make observations of animals and explain why some things occur.

Look at pictures of zoo animals or if you have any zoo animals at home.

Talk about what is the same about each of the animals and what is different. E.g. one could have fur and the other does not. Find out facts about the animals

What do they like to eat?

Where do they live?

What are the baby animals called?

Challenge:Ask your child to draw a picture of their favourite animal and write a fact about their animal on the picture.

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.
