Mrs Loring’s NurseryHome Learning Tasks for:

Hello everybody, another week over, I hope you are all keeping safe and well. Once again I have loved seeing all of your hard work over this last week you have been very busy with the activities from the pack and on purple mash, I am very proud of you all. This learning pack will cover work for the next week.

To replicate your child’s school routine it would be of great benefit if the following three areas were practiced daily (these three sessions only need be around the five minute mark, short and often is the key).

Clever Counting: Count and clap up to 10/20Count backwards from 10/20 to Blastoff !!!Count in Welsh up to 10/20Count pairs to 10 using fingers (your child will show you)Recognition of number flashcardsPlease practice number formation using a pencilOrder numbers to 5 / 10 /20Recognise and name 2d shapesOver the Summer term I would introduce :Counting in 2’s to 20Counting in 10’s to 100Counting in 5’s to 50There are lots of fab songs on You tube to enhance this learning where your child can dance along while chanting the numbers.Add two numbers together up to 10: please do lots of practical activities I usually find sweets are a good resource for this activity haha but you can use anything.Lots of lovely maths games at https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/3-5-years/countingI would love to see your number formation please !!!!

3.Read Write incGo through letter sound flashcards for child to pronounce.Using your magic finger form the letter in the air while chanting RWI rhyme e.g. Maisie mountain mountain, around the apple down the leaf.(These rhymes can be found on You Tube if you are unsure)

One new letter should be added each week, new letter for this week is ‘sh’ activities to support the learning of this letter sound are:‘ch’ Make a chchch chirping chick Taste chchch cheese, chips, chocolate. Make chchch cherrieschchch chalk a picture How many ‘ch’ words can you think of? Write a list.

Practice formation of ‘ch’ (in sand, shaving foam, glitter ect as well as writing with a pencil)If you go on Twinkl and search ‘ch’ letter sound you will find lots of resources to support this learning, formation sheets, colouring sheets, power points, games ect.

Please practice writing all of your letter sounds you have learnt so far and write your name every day. For those children who are confident in recognising and pronouncing all sound set 1, please introduce blending three letter words e.g. cat, hat, mat, pot, hot, mop, top ect. These words can be made using the letter flashcard I sent home with work pack 1.Below is a link to fun phonics and word games, providing different levels to match your child’s stage of development.https://www.phonicsbloom.com/
