WEEK 3 PLANNING – HOME LEARNING – MRS HARRISON – EYFSENGLISH MATHS LEARNING CHALLENGE OF THE

DAYMON PHONICS

Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQshNmncnBs Practice the ‘ng’ sound. Explain that ‘ng’ comes at the end of words or in the middle of harder words. Today it will come at the end of all of our words. Can you spell the following words and put the sound buttons on them? ring, song, fang, lung, bang. Can you think of any more SIMPLE words containing the ‘ng’ sounds? (no more than 3 sounds in the word) PARENT NOTE – ‘ng’ is what we call a digraph (two letters making 1 sound. When we put a sound button on ‘ng’, we use a line underneath it (we call this a sausage). The other sounds, where 1 letter make one sound, is called a single grapheme – we put a dot underneath these sounds and call this a bean.

NUMBER IDENTIFICATION (10-20)Play the game https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/blast-off If you don’t have a computer, show your child numbers 10-20. Ask them to point to different numbers.

TECHNOLOGY:Use the internet to research planets/space – create a fact file or record your favourite find.

TUES HANDWRITINGComplete the laminated handwriting sheet provided in the home learning packs. Can you challenge yourself to write the alphabet on lined paper? Make sure your letters are nicely sized and sitting on the line correctly.

COUNTINGBuild space towers using blocks/cubes – count the number of blocks per tower. Now can you order them according to their height/length?

WED PHONICSWatch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnXaN-CvR9s Practice the ‘ai’ sound. Explain that ‘ai’ goes in the middle of words. Can you spell the following words and put the sound buttons on them? rain, sail, pain, tail, maid. Can you think of any more SIMPLE words containing the ‘ai’ sounds? (no more than 3 sounds in the word). PARENT NOTE – ‘ai’ is what we call a digraph (two letters making 1 sound. When we put a sound button on ‘ai’, we use a line underneath it (we call this a sausage). The other sounds, where 1 letter make one sound, is called a single grapheme – we put a dot underneath these sounds and call this a bean.

ONE MORE/LESS THANFind 1 more and 1 less than given numbers. You can use the rocket worksheet or simply practice verbally. If children struggle they can use objects (adding 1 more or taking away 1). Children should be aiming to be able to say 1 more/less than any given number to 20 when asked by an adult.

RE: Special PeopleOur new RE unit is ‘Special People’. Have a discussion with your child about who are the special people in their lives. Draw pictures, make puppets, record what your child says. Can they think of “special people” who may be important in everyone’s lives at this current moment in time?

THURS

CAPITAL LETTER AND LOWERCASE MATCHComplete the worksheet provided or simply write a letter using capitals and ask your child to write the lowercase version. Are they confident on what the letters look like both uppercase and lowercase? Challenge you child to name the letter (uppercase) and say the letter sound (lowercase).

COUNTING ITEMS FROM A LARGER GROUP:Complete the count and colour worksheet below. Alternatively, get 10 of the same items (eg. 10 toys). Ask you child to show you __ toys. Eg. Show me 5 toys. Show me 8 toys. Can they separate the given number from the larger group?

ARTS AND CRAFTSCreate a junk model alien.

FRI PHONICS Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfM7Hz7US0U Practice the ‘ee’ sound. Explain that ‘ee’ goes in the middle of words. Can you spell the following words and put the sound buttons on them? Feet, sheet (sheet = sausage, sausage, bean), meet, feel, peer. Can you think of any more SIMPLE words

containing the ‘ai’ sounds? (no more than 3 sounds in the word). PARENT NOTE – ‘ee’ is what we call a digraph (two letters making 1 sound. When we put a sound button on ‘ee’, we use a line underneath it (we call this a sausage). The other sounds, where 1 letter make one sound, is called a single grapheme – we put a dot underneath these sounds and call this a bean.

TUESDAY MATHS IDEAS/EXAMPLE:

You can use the sheets provided below, or simply build your own towers. How accurately can your child count? What number can they count accurately to when working independently? Children need to learn that they say 1 number each time they touch 1 cube – often you will find they count quick and point slow or they point quick and count slow.

If you don’t have cubes at home, you can count any objects – could you make towers with tins, toilet rolls, boxes etc.
