Week of 22nd June

Reading Tasks

Phonics Tasks

Monday:

Watch the weekly story-time with Mrs Mirza: It’s Great to Share:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhvlI3fYvJk

Talk to someone at home and answer the following questions:

• What would you do if you were Sean?
• How does Sean make up for his behaviour towards his friends?

As children build their awareness of how others are reacting to them, they will find it easier to respond in an understanding way.

Tuesday:

Read a variety of books at home. Favourites can be repeated. Hearing the patterns of language in a story will support your child’s language development.

Wednesday & Thursday:

Nursery: Read to your child a simple story and ask them to retell the story to you or another family member.

Reception: Children to read to parents daily.

Visit Oxford Owl for free eBooks that link to your child’s book band. You can create a free account. Complete the linked Play activities for each book.

Friday:

With your child, look in magazines, newspapers and books for the tricky words they are currently learning. They could use a highlighter to highlight in magazines and newspapers.

Daily Phonics for Nursery: use the following link to learn the songs and associated sounds: https://vimeo.com/106231366.

Daily phonics for Reception: please continue accessing and working on the daily lessons through the Letters and Sounds DfE Youtube. You should access the learning to blend lessons if your child needs more work on blending sounds to read words, or the Reception lessons if they are confident with the sounds and blending them to say or spell a word.

Additional Phonics activities:

• Play I-spy with things you can see out of the window. You could alternate between the initial sound in the word e.g. “I spy with my little eye something beginning with t”. Or with oral blending e.g. “I spy with my little eye a t-r-ee”.
• Play a listening game- Gather a selection of objects that make sounds from around the house. Cover your child’s eyes with a blindfold and make sounds with the objects collected. Can they figure out what the object is without looking at it?
• Practice sounds and blend words. This can be oral blending (e.g. spoken out loud c-a-t) or written if appropriate. Interactive games are found on link below.

PSHE activity:

• How do you feel when others share with you? What about when they don’t share?
• Can you think of times when it was difficult to share or fun to share?
• Can you think of different ways you can share things with other people?
• When is it a good idea not to share something? (For example: with food and drinks; with children who are too young for something; or with people we are not sure we can trust.)

Talk through your thoughts, ideas and answers with an adult at home.
