Foundation Stage 1 Happy Home Learning
This week we have been practising our counting. Have fun together doing 10 jumps in each room of your house. Count out loud each jump to make sure you do 10. To continue your learning, practise writing number 10 at home. This could be with large chalks outside, on the bathroom tiles in shaving foam, in salt on trays etc. Find different ways to make writing fun!
Foundation 2 Homework
Literacy – We have been learning about Shrek this week and the children have been labelling the characters by sounding out the words and writing down the sounds that they can hear. Please help your child to sound each letter individually and then blend them together to read the following words: met, set, fan, fun, fat, shop & ship. If possible write each word. We have been learning the sound I, h, sh, and ck, please use the diaries to practise the rhymes with your child.
Numeracy – We have been learning about comparing amounts. The children have been looking at different groups of objects and saying which has more or less and finding groups with the same. Talk to your child about who has the most dinner, vegetable, beans etc.
Year 1 Homework
Maths – Please practise telling the time learning o’clock and half past.
Literacy – Can you write a numbered list of 5 things you can do to save the planet?
Year 2 Homework
Spellings – could, would, should, like, slowly, frightened.
Maths – Can you make a grouping story following these steps?
Draw how many groups you want (or you could use something practical like plates)
Decide how many you want in each group (you can put 1,2,3,4,5 on each plate)
Now count to find the total.
You could record your story in words and pictures.

e.g. 3 groups of 4 = 12
Literacy – Write a message from the character that pops out of your magic box. Maybe they tell you about where they have come from or a problem that they have.
