Wishing you a good Tuesday P2!

You might want to try some of the ideas below.

Literacy

All groups:

• Try playing Musical cushions ( see idea below in numeracy) with words from you sounds booklet under cushions. Can you read the words you find?
• Practise Read Write Inc activities from yesterday’s post.

Grey and established yellow groups:

In Read Write Inc you learned a little about commas. We use commas in a list. When mentioning the last two items in a list, we use and:

Squares and triangles

• If you have a pack of cards in your house, you might enjoy this activity:

 

Play with an adult , or older brother or sister.

Take 5 cards from the pack each, one at a time . Each time you take a card from the pack, add its score onto the previous score. Ace scores 1, Jack 11, queen 12 and king 13.

Who has the highest score?

Good luck!

All groups

•  If you have a few paper plates, this might make a fun numeracy game to make. Each coloured hoop could have a different value. Throwing each hoop, add up the score. Alternatively, use one hoop and practise your times tables ( squares and triangles).If you don’t have anything to colour the plates, write a number on each one, or draw a pattern on each one to make them different.
• Musical cushions.Ask an adult to write a number on small pieces of paper and place one under cushions on the floor.Play your favourite music. When the music stops sit down on a cushion and collect the number from under the cushion.  Repeat. When you have 3 numbers, add them up to find your score.

Other activities

Have you been able to make a den yet?

Sometimes we get a bit fed up being in the same place. Using a sheet or blanket, some cushions, a clothes airer maybe and a table or chair you might be able to make a place to read a book, draw a picture, play a game, eat a snack or build something amazing. Clothes pegs are good for joining things together.

Make a spinning toy:

You could use plain paper, colour stripes and cut these out, or just use plain paper.
