EY Picture News

Hello Reception,

Here is your picture news for this week. I would have enjoyed doing this one in school with you. It’s all about homes.

Here are your activity ideas and resources below. I love the design a new room for your home task. If I was designing a new room for my home I would put a ball pit and slide in there for my little boy, a cinema screen to watch our favourite films and a gym so I can keep fit from home.

We would love to see some of your ideas.

Phonics Activity Ideas

Busy Bee is extremely busy today collecting pollen in order to make us some delicious honey. So, I thought I would share some fun phonics activities that you could do at home with a little bit of help from your adult. You could;

  • Play ‘rainbow hop’. Use coloured paper, one die and a marker to create a stepping stone for every sound in the phase you are working on.
  • Play ‘sound ball’. Your adult calls out a sound and you respond with a word that contains it. Then your adult throws the ball to you and you give them a sound to think about.
  • ‘Washingline phonics’. Using pegs, paper, and a marker you could create a phonics washing line.
  • Phonics photo hunt. You could create a photo album with a picture for every sound. For example, a train for the ‘ai’ sound.
  • Spin and rhyme. Using a paper towel roll and clothes hanger your adult can write a word and see how many rhyming words you can add.
  • Mystery bag. Place objects in a bag. As your adult pulls the items out, see if you can guess the mystery sound that unites all the objects.
  • Say 2 words. Your adult says 2 words that contain the same sound and you must stand up as quickly as you can. Stay seated if they do not.
  • Monster names. Replace the first letter of your name with a phonics sound. For example, Miss Hammond could become Mad Monster Quammond! You could stomp around like a monster with your new name!
  • Smack the letter. Use a fly swatter (or equivalent) and hit sounds written on sticky notes when your adult pronounces them.
  • Phonics I Spy. Fill a large juice bottle with a variety of small items that contain various sounds, use rice or sand to fill the remaining space. Have your adult name a sound, shake the bottle, and hunt the correct item.

I hope these activities are of use to you and I would love to see any photos or comments of you attempting them. Have fun!

Busy Bee will be back tomorrow finding out about the ‘ai’ sound.

Miss Hammond.

EYFS picture news

Hi Everyone,

Here is your picture news for this week. We normally do these each week in our class assemblies. It’s a fantastic way to get the children thinking about the world and discussing their own thoughts and ideas.

This week it is based around day and night. I have attached some activities that you might want to try below:
