Some ideas for Spelling and Phonics revision
- Rainbow letters – write your words using a range of different colours
- Write a sentence or a silly story using as many of the words as you can.
- Sound hunt – look for as many examples of your sound as you can in a book or magazine.
- Have someone write some of the letters from your common words. Can you fill in the missing space without looking?
- Make some cards with capitals and small letters and play a game of matching!
Reading, Writing, Listening and Talking activities you can do
- Read for enjoyment daily – nothing improves your reading like reading regularly
- Choose your favourite page in a reading book and draw a picture of that page. Tell an adult why you like it.
- Ask someone to give you a letter of the alphabet. You have two minutes to think of an animal, place and food/drink beginning with that letter!
- Practise handwriting – use doorway online for handwriting formation
- Practise your typing skills – use BBC Dance Mat Typing
- Write a story about a day at home!
Maths Challenges
- Practice counting in twos, fives and tens.
- Ask someone for a number between 0 and 20. Now write down as many addition and subtraction questions you know that can make that number!
- Gather some of your toys together. Now put them into order. First tallest to shortest. Then shortest to tallest. Then heaviest to lightest. Then lightest to heaviest.
- Find a pattern in your house, e.g. wallpaper, tiles, on the duvet. Can you describe it? Draw and colour in the pattern.
- Walk around your house. How many shapes can you see?
- Can you find a cube, sphere, cuboid and a cylinder?
- Create a symmetrical picture!
