Phonics
The home learning letter we sent out before the holidays will tell you what group your child is in for phonics. Please let us know if you need a new letter.
We are learning to read and write a different letter each day:
Monday | Tuesday | Wednesday | Thursday | Friday | |
Group A | u | b | f | e | l |
Group B | sh | ch | th | ng | qu |
Group C | ch | ck | th | sh | ng |
Watch the video on espresso about the letter.
Now tell your grown-up some words that start with today's sound. Finally have a go at writing the letter a few times.
Grown-ups: Every day, revisit the previous sounds that they have learnt.
Maths
Counting Activities (Please do at least one counting activity every day)
Activity 1
When you have listened to the story 'The Shopping Basket', make a picture of the different items on the list (6 eggs, 5 bananas, 4 apples, 3 oranges, 2 doughnuts and 1 packet of crisps). Draw the correct number of items and write the numeral next to them.
Activity 2

Listen to the songs on BBC Bitesize. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/nursery-rhymes-counting-songs/zn67kmn
You could make your own resources. Make pictures of 5 buns or make them out of playdough and then practise singing 5 currant buns to your grown-up.
Vocabulary: take away, less, how many are left?
