Hi everyone!
I’ve seen some lovely learning this week. Keep it up!
Phonics
Words to read:
Practise letter names by singing the alphabet.
Handwriting
Let’s practise long ladder letters.
Literacy – A map making treasure hunt!
Make a map of a room, the inside of your house, or your garden.
Write the names next to the different objects and areas on your map so that people can see where to go- you might even want to write sentences as clues for example; ‘On top of the desk’.
You might want to add x marks and hide your favourite toys or other items for your grown-ups to find! Your map might look something like this…
Maths
Counting practise
- Together, count to 20
- Take turns to repeat this, BUT you give each other a number you mustn’t say Eg Amit tells mum she can’t say six
- Mum counts, “one, two, three, four, five, uh-oh. seven, eight” etc
- Now Mum tells Amit he can’t say four
- Play this several times
Measures-comparing size
Choose from the following activities- (you might even want to try a few over the next few weeks!):
- Use a spoon as a measuring device. Go around and see if things are the same size, shorter or longer than the spoon.
- Why not make a paper chain. Talk about this getting, longer, the more you add. You could measure it. You could also count the links together?
- Who is the tallest in your house? Who is the shortest and who is in the middle?
- Can you make a list or a collection of teeny, tiny things? What other words describe small?
- Which things are larger than e.g. a cow? Could it be a bus, a whale, a house, a car etc? Make a list or draw things.
- Make long and short play dough worms and snakes.
Important vocabulary:
Long, longer, shorter, short, wide, narrow, big, little, huge, immense, giant, minute, tiny, teeny, same, taller…. Can you think of any more size words?
Extra activity
Who can jump the furthest?
Enjoy your day!
