Good morning everyone!

A new week and a new month!

Literacy

This activity helps you practise your writing and your listening and remembering:

Make a list: Remember a list does not need capital letters and full stops. Each word is written under the last. It might be list of things you can see, your favourite toys/games/animals, etc, or maybe even help write a shopping list! Write each word using your sounds chart to help with the spelling.

Read it out loud ( or ask a grown up to do this for you) a number of times. Repeat out loud what is on your list.

How well did you do? How many things did you remember?

How many times did you need to listen to the words ?

Numeracy

Circles and Triangles

Write numbers 1-20 or 20-40 on separate pieces of paper.

Put in a pile face down, adult calls a number, within the range of numbers.  Child turns over first number. If the numbers match,  child keeps the card. Take turns.

This game can also be played at a harder level. This time, is your number 1 smaller or 1 bigger than the number called?

Squares

Play this game , but you need to make a sum for each number , in order to win the card!

Other activities

Leaf rainbow prints       

Here’s an idea I saw online and tried out, it’s great fun!

Take a leaf and on the underside (not the shiny side,) colour between the veins with rainbow coloured felt pens.

Now, turn the leaf over and press down on a piece of paper, rubbing all over the leaf.(It is probably easiest to hold the stalk as you do this)

Take the leaf away , and………

you should have a lovely rainbow leaf!

Why not experiment with different shaped leaves?
