EYFS Home Learning

This page will contain activities for you to do at home if you/your family are having to self isolate. 

If you have any queries regarding the work, please email the class teacher using the email below.

(Please be aware that this email is not checked everyday)

Please confirm weekly that your child is accessing the home learning by sending us photographs of what you have been up to at home that week.

The sections below show a selection of different literacy, phonics, maths and topic activities for your child to do whilst they are isolating. 

Please choose an activity from each area of learning to complete each day.  We have also included lots of extra activity ideas as well if your child would like to complete them. 

Please remember it is equally important to talk to children about what they are doing and ask questions.  Learning in Early Years is very practical, play based and repetitive and developing children's social skills is an integral part of the Early Years ethos. Children need to play, be active indoors and outdoors and take turns with others. 

Literacy

Our focus in Spring Term 1:

  • Listening to stories and talking about the main events, characters and story setting.
  • Writing our full name, working hard to form the letters correctly. 
  • Segmenting (stretch) CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words and writing the sounds we hear. E.g. 'cat' is c-a-t, 'well' is w-e-ll.
  • Writing set 1 tricky words (I, the, to, no, go, into).
  • Thinking of a sentence, saying a sentence, counting the words and then writing the sentence. 

 

Please choose a Literacy activity from the document below for each day. Below there is also a selection of ongoing activities that we encourage children to practise several times throughout the week in short bursts. 

Ongoing Activities

Please remember to read your phonics books and practise your tricky words at least 3 times a week. 

Practise writing your name using your cursive name card and finger writing book. Continue to practise the graphemes (letters) on the handwriting sheets in your handwriting wallets. 

Letters to practise (cursive):

Tricky Words

Here is an overview of all the tricky word sets.  Please work at each set at your own pace and practise reading them in different texts as well. Once your child can read them fluently, practise their spelling.

By the end of reception, we would expect children to be able to confidently read tricky words in set 1 to 4 and be beginning to spell them correctly.

Phoneme Mats

Phonics

There is a letters and sounds video for each day below. Some further ongoing activity ideas can also be found. 

Ongoing Activities

Practise the sounds we have already learnt: 

s a t p i n m d g o c k ck e u r h b f ff l ll ss j v w x y z zz qu

 

Use these phonemes to make simple words for the children to read. Practise blending these words.

(e.g. fox, quiz, jug)

Segment the sounds in the words you have made

(e.g. pat is p-a-t, quick is qu-i-ck)

 

Practise your set words (in the brown envelopes).

Try reading them in simple  sentences, e.g. 

He went to a den.

I am a moth.
