Writing
When you have listened to the story 'Little Robin Red Vest', draw a picture of something that happened in the story and then write a sentence for your picture. e.g. Little Robin gave his pink vest to mole.
Remember to:
Grown-ups: Your child might only hear 1 or 2 sounds in each word. That is fine. Encourage your child to listen for the sounds and just write down the sounds that they can hear.
Name Writing
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 | h | r | j | v | y |
Group B | v | y | w | z | x |
Group C | ch | sh | th | ng | qu |
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 'Little Robin Red Vest', draw 7 coloured vests and label them with the numbers 1-7.

Activity 3
This week we are learning to add 2 sets of objects.
III II
How many red sticks are there?
How many green sticks are there?
How many sticks are there altogether?
3 + 2 = 5
Now trying adding 2 sets of objects that you have.
Grown-ups: You could use any objects for this (counters, coins, teddies, stones). Ask your child to count both sets and say how many there is in each. Then ask them to put both sets together and ask how many are there altogether?
