Hello! Are you enjoying your learning this week?
The story of the week is one of my favourites.
Here are today’s activities:
Phonics
Let’s revisit the trigraph air.
Words to write:
air fair pair hair
Phonics Activity: Write the sentence. (Adult to read aloud.)

Remember to use your phoneme fingers to segment each word. There is one ‘tricky’word-can you spot it?
Literacy
Story of the week: What the ladybird heard by Julia Donaldson
Listen to the story again. Join in with the animal noises.
In the story the baddies make a map of the farmyard so they can work out how to steal the cow.
Make your own map and label all the places and animals on your map.
Use your map to describe where things are and give directions to your adult to get to the cow; eg turn, next to, under, over etc.
Maths-teen numbers
For tips on how to help your child with maths, this Cbeebies video is very good.
Play this game.
- Write the numbers 1-10 on large scraps of paper. Place them around the floor.
- Your child chooses a number to stand on.
- They must do actions to match that number.
- E.g. If they stood on 6, they might do eight bunny hops.
- Now they choose a different number to stand on.
- Then you have a turn
Number 12
Let’s learn all about the number 12.
Challenges
Can you nod your head 12 times?
Find 12 toys and put them in 2 groups. Can you draw the two groups and record what you find?
