Good morning! Are you enjoying your PE challenges this week? Don’t forget to record your ‘personal bests’.
Here are today’s home learning activities.
Phonics
Practise all the phase three phonemes.
Today we’ll practise the phoneme ‘ar’.
Write the ar words.
Let’s play quickwrite!
How to play:
One player points to an ‘ar’ picture.
The other player has to write the word that the picture shows.
(car, jar, scarf, shark, farm, sharp)
You could play this game outside with chalk.
A timer to time how quickly your child writes can make it more exciting too!
Literacy
Listen to the story –We’re Different, We’re the Same.
Can you draw something that you think makes you special?
For example, you could be special because you can jump really high? Or because you are always good at making your friends happy.
Adults you could share what you think makes your child special.
Your child could then draw something that makes someone they love special. They could share this with the person they love.
How does it feel to tell someone why they are special? It makes us feel good to make others feel good.
This is a great activity for not only your child to feel special but to make others around them feel special too.
Extra activity: pass it on smile! We always say how special a smile is. It can be passed on to LOTS of people so quickly. If you smile at someone they will often smile back…they then smile at the next person…and there you have it…a big line of people passing on smiles. Get your child to try in the house or when outside. Not all people will smile back – that’s okay…they might not feel like smiling back… but I’m sure you’re smile was still nice for them to see.
Maths
Listen to the story– The Shopping basket by John Burningham
We’re going to play a memory game.
Let’s get active!
Don’t forget to record your scores!
