Week beginning 27th April

This weeks letters and sounds 

ideas

Play a sound descrimination game.

Create a sound tent using a pop up

tent or by hanging a blanket over a 

chair. Create different sounds using 

instruments and familiar objects. Can

the children recognise the sound and 

identify the hidden object. You could

extend this by practicing oral segmenting

and blending if your child is ready.

Please use the videos below to support

the correct sound pronunciation.. 

Play the big red barn game guessing

game using the rhyme below. If you do 

not have a barn why not make one out

of a cardboard box or choose a different 

place in the rhyme.

Play with alliteration using the rhyme below:

When Long Tall Sally was walking down the

alley Well, who do you think she saw? When

Long Tall Sally was walking down the alley

Well, this is who she saw? She saw...

Can the children suggest something with

the given sound, can you then extend this

to make an alliterative sentence e.g. 

that's right a tree, a tall, towering, tree. 

Emphasise the initial sounds.

Play a game e.g. snakes and ladders.

Practice counting, and pay attention

to the numbers on the dice.

Go outdoors and collect natural

objects, can you sort these in

different ways? Does the total

remain the same? Can you match

the correct quantity to the numeral.

Make a shape collage. If your child 

is confident recognising 2D shapes

then why not try junk modelling

and exploring 3D shape.

Have a go at planting if you are

able to.

Sequence the life cycle of a

growing bean.

Investigate the different parts

of a growing plant. 

Experiment by putting plants in

different environments, does

the bean grow without light?

Pick a flower. What happens?

Investigate growing and dying

to better understand and

experience the life cycle of a plant.
