mark making

Do the morning register - look at what day it is and and practise writing your name.

Choose your favourite words - can you blend the sounds and form the letters.

You can either ask mum or dad to print a copy for you to write on, or you can make your own register to use at home.

story of the week



This week we are learning about the story of

The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

Miss Anre and Miss Anna will read the story again today and Miss Tone will sing it in her home language.

In what language is Miss Tone singing? Are the characters the same in the song? What happens to the troll in the end?

Phonics

Below are three videos for your child to access when they are practising the speed sounds. The videos are purposely separated into three in order to support your child at the appropriate level. If you are unsure as to which video to use, please contact me via the learning log or email.

  • MTYT Set 1 Speed Sounds: Use this video if your child needs to hear the sounds first and then repeat it after me

  • MTYT Set 1 Special friends: Use this video if your child needs to hear the special friends (digraphs) sounds first and then repeat it after me

  • Set 1 Speed Sounds: Use this video if your child is confident practising the sounds independently without support

Once you have completed the appropriate speed sound video, please continue with the daily phonics learning video below.

Fine Motor Skills

Billy Goats Gruff scene

Learning Objective:

  • To strengthen finger strength through the use of pens and other craft materials


You will need:

  • A piece of paper / tray etc

  • Pen / felt tip / pencils

  • A variety of art resources

  • Resources to support retelling the story (the goats created on Tuesday)


Learning activity:

To recreate the scene from The Billy Goat Gruff

  • Discuss some of the elements of the story about The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Where did the story take place? Was there more than one place? Who was the story about? What happened first in the story? What happened next?

  • Help your child break down the story to support him / her remember as many details as possible

  • Use a tray / piece of paper and ask your child to recreate the scene from the story (grass / river / bridge)


Other activities:

  • Retell the story using the scene and the goats you created on Tuesday

some extra fun ;-)

Ice cube tray sorting and pattern-making

Here’s another way to mix math, art and fine motor skills. You’ll need an ice cube tray, egg container or muffin tin, plus small items to play with, such as various dried beans, buttons, coins or marbles. Jewelry, like plastic rings or earrings that have lost their partner, makes it extra exciting.

Your child can sort the items (by color, size, pattern or any way they like), make patterns with them or invent their own game. There are tons of possibilities and no right answers; this type of play blends logical thinking and mathematical reasoning with creativity.

For extra fun and challenge, use tweezers or clothespins to pick up the items

great learning today GIRAFFES!

Have a lovely weekend :-)
