Year R

As some of our families begin to self-isolate we are providing home learning packs which can be downloaded through our class pages.

For those in self-isolation: Home learning ideas for Year R

If you are unable to access the internet at home then please let the office know and we will print and send home a learning pack for you. 

Please note: the most effective work you can be doing with your child are the things that they should already be doing as often as possible. 

- Reading and recording reading/tasks in their home school book 4 x per week. 
- Completing and recording a maths activity in their home school diary 4 x per week. 
- Practising their phonics by watching phonic Youtube videos listed below.
- Exploring the world around them; introduce them to new terminology and promote good language skills.

- Ask them which number comes after another: What's one more than 17?
- Include maths into your daily routines: I have 5 oranges and 3 apples. How many do I have altogether?
- Help your child to begin forming the numbers.
