Happy Friday, below are some ideas for learning you can do at home.

Come Read with Me

You can read for 15 minutes with your library books or the books you have at home. You can read to you or a sibling, you can even read to your favourite teddy! Remember to use the pictures to help tell the story and to look for words and letters that you know.

Today…

Do you remember our days of the week song? Here is a link…

Do you know what day it is today?

Do you know the date?

What is the weather doing today, check outside!

We are in a new month! Listen to the Months of the Year song below. Can you guess what Month we are in now?

Shared Reading – The Gingerbread Man

Listen to our Shared Reading book.

Literacy Learning Experience

On Friday’s we practice our writing our Focus Word of the week. This week’s focus word was “after”. Put a timer on for 5 minutes and see how many times you can write the word. Remember to take a photo of the word with your brain and close your eyes to see the word. Can you write it without looking?

Fitness

Don’t forget how important it is to stay active each day. Here is a fitness video we have done previously in the classroom.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness is important to help us decrease stress and anxiety, and to help us regulate our emotions. We should practice mindfulness everyday! Today for mindfulness we are doing Yoga. Here is a link…

Religion – The Creation Story

Watch the video about the creation story, you can find it with this link…

Reflecting on the story and using your creativity, either, rewrite the story or create a piece of artwork inspired by the story.

Numeracy

Put on the Big Numbers Song (you can find it by following this link…)

Follow along with the numbers as the song plays using a 100 chart (below is a short example, we have done this at school before!)

*Challenge*; Using the Skip Counting by 2’s song, follow on the 100’s chart with your finger skipping a number each time (below is a short example). Here is a link for the Counting by 2’s song;

Play the video below, as each slide appears write or draw the number that you see (we have done this activity at school before). The idea of this activity is that you can identify the amount quickly without having to count the dots. Think of different ways you can identify the amount quickly, maybe you can group them. We are repeating this from yesterday to see if you can get faster at identifying the numbers. We are repeating this activity so that you can get really good at identifying the numbers quickly!

Reflection

We hope you had a great day. Remember to include some learning through play like our Investigations at school. Use your interests and things around the house to guide this. Here are some ideas;

• Building with empty boxes
• Blocks
• Teddy Bear’s Picnic
• Playing with dolls/babies
• Lego creations
• Writing
• Drawing
• Colouring in
• Painting
• Etc.

We would love to see some of your learning from today. If you can, can you take a picture of your learning and email it to us? We can’t wait to see how you are going!

We miss you all, we hope you had a lovely day. Have a fabulous and restful weekend. See you next week!

Love, Mrs Tyrcha and Ms Angilletta
