Message from the Nursery Team

29th June 2020

Home learning for this week is now available below. This week we are focusing on 'Transition to Reception' and some of the skills your child can develop before they start back in September.

What should my child be learning?

Literacy – Reading/Phonics

Read lots of story books together. Read the same story each day over two weeks. The children will get to know the story really well and will learn lots of story language.
Retell stories you have read
Discuss what is happening in stories, what are the characters like etc…
Listen for sounds in the environment – What sounds can we hear? E.g. door bell, washing machine, dog barking, tap running…
Listen to music – Can you clap/ stamp with the beat?
Hearing and saying rhyming words. E.g. hat cat mat
Looking for words that have the same sound e.g. dog, dinosaur, diamond…
Pretend to talk like a robot e.g. c-a-t d-o-g Can your child tell you what the robot is saying?
Sing lots of nursery rhymes

Literacy – Writing

Name writing focusing on forming letters
Drawing people – focusing on drawing all features of a person
Mark making of any kind – drawing with chalks outside, using old paintbrushes and dipping in water to make marks, drawing on old rolls of wallpaper, using different types of pens e.g. felt tips, crayons, ball point pens
Pencil control – Practice holding our pen/pencil using crocodile fingers (between first finger and thumb)
Follow patterns with your pencil

Maths

Practice counting using household objects
Practice numeral recognition 1 to 10, then 10 to 20
Practice number ordering 1 to 5, then 1 to 10
Practice number formation 1 to 10
Naming shapes – circle, triangle, square, oblong, hexagon, pentagon
Solving problems by sorting objects into categories e.g. sort the socks into colours
Order items by height, weight and height – e.g. tins of food by weight, household shoes from smallest to biggest
Make patterns using different items e.g. scarves, petals, socks, forks, spoons, toys etc.
