Home learning week 15th-28th June 2020 Hello Sunshine children It’s been lovely to see all the wonderful things you have been doing with your learning packs and also the ways you are finding fun at home. We have been so lucky with the weather and I hope you have been out and about enjoying the sun! Please don’t worry if you are yet to complete the last home learning pack, this pack is available for when you are ready with no pressure or expectation from me to do it all. As you are aware our last home learning pack had a big focus on creative activities. I hope you all enjoyed this pack; it has been wonderful to see you all getting stuck in creating fantastic pieces of artwork. Our next pack is going to focus heavily on reading and fostering your child’s love of reading. I would love to see your work on Tapestry or you can email through pictures and written work to [email protected]. Please keep up with daily exercise to keep your body and minds healthy whether that’s Jo Wicks or building your own obstacle course in the garden. It’s key that you look after yourselves and your family so you are fit and well to return School again. Hoping to hear from you soon, I am missing you, it’s very strange not being in the classroom with you all! Take care of yourselves and your family and remember to keep smiling.

Understanding the world:
Have you got any pets at home? Could
you tell me or perhaps show me how
you care for them? What do they eat?
How do they exercise?
Physical development:
Can you set up and complete your
own obstacle course? Try including
objects you can under, over and
around!

It is a very special day on Sunday
21st June; some of us like to
celebrate a special day called
Father’s day. This day gives us an
opportunity to celebrate the special
people we have in our lives, it could
be your dad, an uncle or even your
grandad. See if you can make them
a card to make them feel extra
special. I have provided some ideas
and examples below.

Communication and Language
Can you play a game of Simon says with the people in your house. Make sure
to follow the instructions correctly by carefully listening to each.
Maths This week I would like you to look at comparing quantities.
Grab two bowls and your child’s favourite
snack; my personal favourite is milky bar
buttons. Together with your child see if you
can fairly share out the buttons between the
two bowls, you could try modelling this first by
counting out 2 buttons, giving them to your
child, and then counting out 4 buttons for
yourself. Ask your child if this is fair and if you
both have the same amount of buttons? Next
ask them to help you share them out fairly,
demonstrate putting one button at a time in
each bowl until you have no buttons left, then
check again do you have the same number
now? Try using the language ‘more, fewer, the
same’
Start by gathering together a group of objects,
lay them out on the floor and together count
them with you child, emphasise saying the
number as you tap each object in turn.
Introduce two teddies and ask your child to
share the objects between each of the teddies,
making sure they both have the same number.
Repeat with different quantities.
Can you help to lay the table for dinner? Can
you collect a fork for each person, how many
do yu need? Can you get the same number of
knives? Lay the knives and forks on the table,
have you got the same number of knives and
forks?
Draw two circles on the floor outside, you can
use hoops if you have them. Next collect some
interesting objects from around the garden, eg;
stones, leaves, etc and place them in one circle.
How many objects have you found? Can you
count them? Now can you find the same
number of objects for the other circle? Put the
objects into the circle and stop when both
circles contain the same amount
Ask your grown up to draw an apple tree with
4 apples on it. Can you now draw another
apple tree? Can you draw the same number of
apples on this tree?
Play a game with your grown-up. Your grown up
needs to hold up a number of fingers on both of their
hands and you need to say when the number of
fingers on each hand is the same. If the number is
different, then you need to say ‘different’. If the
number of fingers is the same, then you need to shout
out the ‘SAME’. You can take this in turns.
Don’t forget to continue to
practice your counting! Can you
count to 10, 20? Can you count
how many hops you can do? Or
how about how many jumps?
Reading/Phonics
Can you find the rhyming pairs of each
set below? Remember for word to
rhyme it needs to have the same
sounds at the end.
Can you retell your favourite story using
puppets and toys? Can you remember what
happened in the story? Try making your own
puppet show for your special grown up, you
could try filming your show for Tapestry.
Try sharing your favourite story with your
grown up at home. After you have finished
the story see if you can talk about what has
happened in the text. What was your
favourite part? How did the story end? Who
was your favourite character? Where did the
story take place, was it in the woods, a
castle, etc
Read a book with your grown up and decide
who was your favourite character. Draw a
picture of that character and talk about what
they were like and why they were your
favourite character.
Can you make up some funny rhyming
sentences? Ask your grown up to write down
your favourite one. For example ‘I am a cat
and I am wearing a big, stripy hat’
What’s your favourite poem or rhyme that you
share at home? Could you try filming a short
clip of yourself as your say your chosen rhyme
and upload it to Tapestry?
In the sunshine room we love the story
‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. At home
see if you can retell the story with your
special grownups. Can you join in with
the story? Perhaps you can create your
go on your own bear hunt. Follow the
link below to watch a video clip of this
in action.

Share an unfamiliar story with your
child, choose a story that they
might not have heard before.
Together with your child read the
story but stop before the ending,
and discuss with you child what
they think will happen next. Can
they create their own ending to the
story?
One of my favourite stories is ‘Room on the broom’ by
Julia Donaldson. I have attached some images for you
above. Please could you look at the illustrations with
your child and discuss what is happening. Can you talk
about the characters on the page? What does each
character look like? How might they be feeling at this
point in the book? Can you talk about what you think
might happen next?
If you have the story at home try sharing it before
bedtime.
Below is a list of some questions you can ask
that will help your child to demonstrate their
understanding of the story;
What was the story about?
How does this part make you feel?
What do you think will happen next?
What do you like about the story?
What happens at the beginning of the story?
What happens at the end of the story?
Who is your favourite character?
How do you think the story will end?
