Nursery home learning week 6 Wednesday 13th May

PhonicsThis week I would like you to play the I spy game all week (separate document) to recap some sounds and support the learning of some new sounds.This link is to help you (parents/ carers) with the sounds so that you are sounding them in the same way we do at school https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwJx1NSineE

Reading

The children found lots of new treasures in the garden – from their adventures. What did they find? Can you remember where they found each of them? (you can look back through the story). Do you have any treasures? Key vocab to focus on: Treasure- something special to someone. Anything can be a treasure.Favourite- the one that you like best of all.Whizzing- moving fast.Forgotten – not remembering.

LiteracyIf you were to go on an adventure like Jake and his sister who would you meet? Fairies, pirates, dragons, Batman, Spiderman? Can you paint a picture of who you would meet on your adventure? You could send a photo of your drawing to me at rturnbull2.309@lgflmail.org
