Home LearningActivities from between Thursday 15th July to Wednesday 21st July

This would have been a very creative few days at school so I have planned some fun activities that hopefully you can do at home alongside some literacy and Maths. There will also be some transitional activities to help

prepare your child for year one. Please send any photos of your child completing these activities toRS: rs@osborne-pri.bham.sch.uk

Please break these activities up for children so this is manageable and children do not get too tired or distracted.

Thursday 15th July Friday 16th July Monday 19th July Tuesday 20th July Wednesday 21st July

Maths Patterns:While you are on your walk (see below) children can collect some items in nature-can they make patterns with them e.g. sticks and different colour leaves. They can display them somewhere-how complicated can they make their patterns?

Coins:Sort the coins-can children recognise which coins are equal to each amount? Can they add 2 different coins together? When you go shopping can children help pay? And read the amounts that items will cost? Using Maths in real life!

Measuring:Make measuring part of a fun activity-can children help you make playdough? I will attach the recipe.

Shapes:Go on a shape hunt! Which shapes can your child find? Can they describe them? How many sides/corners/face do they have?

Counting:Youtube counting songs-forwards to 100, backwards, in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s

Literacy Go for a walk and see which minibeasts you see! You can tick them off on the sheet or just write them down. Then when you get back can children write about their favourite one and describe what it looks like.

You will be sent a message, so you know which phase group your child is in and the book to read.You can find this book on www.oxfordowl.co.uk using your log in detailsUsername= OsborneRec 

And password = Osbornep1

Then go to oxford owls ebook library to find your child’s book

Write silly sentences! Can children think of silly things to write about e.g. ‘the cat chased the shark’ ‘the sheep lives on a boat’-how creative with words can children be?

Please consolidate any misconceptions your child has had when reading their book this week-practising any letters, sounds or words they found difficult.

Complete activities on Reading Eggs-please let me know if you need your log in details again.

Phonics https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resourcesBuried Treasure- choose a phase (you will be told which phase your child is working in) and then a sound to focus on-children have to read the words then decide if they are real or not real

Discuss how words can rhyme with your child-this is because they have the same sound at the end (not the start) can children say words that rhyme with cat? dog? Or to challenge-car? Ear? Can children write a list sounding out each word?

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources Obb and Bob- choose a phase (you will be told which phase your child is working in) and then a sound to focus on-children have to read the words then decide if they are real or not real

Practise writing the tricky words for the phase that your child is in-how many words can they write in 5 minutes?

Science/Creative/PSHE

We were planning to make chocolate crispy cakes in school this week! Instead I will attach the recipe and you could make them at home if you have the ingredients, if not you could make some other cakes!

Experiment-floating and sinking in the bath! Children choose objects (and check with you!) to test whether they float or sink in the bath! Have a discussion-why do some materials sink and some float? Can they predict which other objects will float

Have a discussion about year one-how do children feel? What are they looking forward to? What are they not sure about? If they have any questions please send them to me and I will get the answers from their year one teachers!

Children make a list of what they are good at and one wish-what would they like to be better at in year one. Take a picture then I can send this onto their new teachers!

Children have really enjoyed copying ‘Rob’ as he draws his characters. They have loved being artists! Just choose a character for them to draw-he talks a bit at the start so you can skip the introduction!

PE Give children an activity e.g. star jumps-how many can they do in the time it takes to count to 10? Then try jumping-how many can they do? Then rolls? Frog jumps?

Go for a walk with your child-every time they get to a lamppost they could choose a different way to move-jumping, hopping, star jumps, walking in a wiggly line! See how imaginative they can be!

Put on some music-how many different animal ways can children choose to move-they will love it if you join in too!

Just dance-all the family can do this! Just dance kids is great fun on Youtube!
