►Reading 

Please read with your child for 20 minutes each day. This could be a story book which you read, a phonics book which they read or a mixture of the two.

Oxford Owl have a library of free books which can be read on a phone or tablet.

Follow the link below and sign up yourself. You can then access a variety of books which are age-appropriate. Start on age 3-4 (Oxford Level 1) and work your way through as your child gets more confident.

►Maths

Today we are talking about different times of the day.

Watch the video below and then talk to your child about their daily routine.

Create a list together of things that they do in the morning and things that they do in the afternoon/evening. You child can write the list if they feel confident to.

You could also talk about how our routine is different at the moment. 

What do we usually do in the morning/afternoon? How is it different now?

Extra challenge: print out the document below and select 5 pictures for your child to cut out and place them in order according to your daily routine.

►RE

Today we are learning about the Parable of the Sower. 

The Parable is about people needing to be in the right frame of mind to receive God's words.

It is important for us to have the right conditions in order to thrive in life.

Watch the video below and then talk to your child about all of the things that they need in order to learn and develop.

Ask them to draw pictures or write a list of their ideas.

►Topic

Today we are learning about how to protect the environment and try to prevent Climate Change.

Watch the video below and talk to your child about what David Attenborough tells us about how to protect the planet.

Create a poster with your child to show how to help the planet and try to stop the effects of global warming. I have attached an example below but you could complete the activity in any way you wish. 

Blue and Green Challenge: talk to your child about what pictures they could include in their poster. Ask your child to draw some pictures for their poster and then you scribe their ideas for how to help the planet around the outside.

Purple challenge: talk to your child about what pictures they could include in their poster. Ask your child to draw some pictures for their poster and then write their ideas for how to help the planet around the outside.

►Phonics

Today we are revising our sound recognition.

Go to phonicsplay.co.uk and login with the username ThythornEYFS and the password thythorn

Scroll down to Flashcards and pay the game with Phase 2 sounds. See how quickly your child can complete the game by recognising the sounds.

Make a note of any that they don't recognise and then write these down on pieces of paper. Practise reading them with your child a few times until they are more confident and then ask them to find items in your home which begin with these sounds.

If your child is able to recognise all of the sounds, write down the following sentences for them to read and ask them to draw pictures next to each one to show their understanding.

The rug is red.

A cat and a dog.

My Mum and Dad.

A big duck in a pond.
