Alongside the Home Learning Mats, here are some suggested activities to try at home:
Reception children/Year 1:
Read a story and talk about the characters • Practise phonics as often as you can • Practise counting • Talking about shapes and finding some in the home • Letter and number formation • Interact and play games. Find objects around your home and use your phonics to label them. • Read a book every day and write a sentence about what happened in the story, remembering to include capital letter and full stops. • Collect 10 pairs of socks, use them to practise counting in 2s • Get a pile of your favourite toys or Lego, group them into tens and ones and count how many you have • Get some seeds and plant them, record how high your plant grows each day.
