Week 16 - Learning challenges



Hello Nursery, we hope you have had another lovely week at home and have been keeping busy with playing and learning. We have some more fun activities for you to try at home, so let’s get learning!


Here are your challenges for this week:



You could begin your days by singing the ‘Days of the week’ song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtQcnZ2JWsY

You could also talk to your grown-ups about the weather and if you are feeling up to a super challenge – name the day that it was yesterday and the day it will be tomorrow!



You could also begin each of your phonic sessions with our ‘Jolly Jingles’ song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euxN7LGOoLc or ‘Phonics Song 2’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BELlZKpi1Zs on YouTube.



For the Maths sessions this week, Mr Bear and Jenie would like you to sing The Singing Walrus number song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0Ajq682yrA&vl=en


Monday

Maths
We hope you had some fun doing your doubles last week. This week we are going to explore sharing so today you can make yourself a sharing mat just like the one below. Make it as colourful as you like and make yourself some bright coloured counters using cardboard from a used food box such as a cereal box and colour them in your favourite colours.

Phonics
Let’s make some silly soup. All you need is a bowl or pan and a spoon to stir your silly soup and then have a look around the house to find lots of silly things to put in your soup (the sillier, the better). Then sing our silly soup song to the tune of pop goes the weasel:


I’m making lots of silly soup
I’m making soup that’s silly
I’m going to cook it in the fridge,
To make it nice and chilly
In goes a …

Tuesday

Maths
Today you will need your sharing mat that you made yesterday. If you put 2 counters on your mat, how many will you have in the 2 smaller circles if you share them?


Now try again with 4 counters.

Challenge
What is the biggest number you can share on your mat?


Phonics
Your phonics challenge for today is to find as many things in your house and garden that begin with these initial sounds:
g, o, c, k.


When you have found at least 6 objects, cover them with a towel and ask your adult to take away 1 thing. Can you work out what is missing? Can you work out what is missing if your adult takes away 2 things?

Challenge
Put more objects under your cloth to see if you can work out what is missing when it is a bit trickier with more objects to remember.

Wednesday

Maths
Sharing can be lots of fun so today have a think about what food you would like to share with someone in your house. It can be anything from fruit, sweets or some of your homemade baking. How can you share it fairly? How many do you have? How many does the other person have? How many are there altogether? Don't forget to take photos to email them to us so we can see what yummy treats you have been sharing.



Phonics
We have a tricky challenge for phonics today. Your adult will need to write these graphemes on a piece of paper:

S A T P I N M D

When your adult says the phoneme, draw a circle around it and then see what you can find in your house and garden that starts with that phoneme.

Challenge
Can you can find each object in less than 20 seconds? Ask your adult to time you.

Thursday

Maths
Using 2 of your teddy bears and 2 plates collect some items to share between them. You could use food or some of your small toys to pretend they are teddy bear food. Share the items fairly between your 2 teddy bears. How many do they have each? How many is there altogether?


Challenge
What would happen if you had another teddy? Can you still share your items equally?

Phonics
Using your photos from yesterday, choose 2 graphemes to practice forming. When you have done this, draw the item that you found yesterday that has the correct initial sound. Remember to use your letter formation sheet.


Fun Friday


As you have been sharing items with your teddy bears this week, why not have a real teddy bears picnic. You could help your adult to prepare the food and then share it out with the people in your house but don’t forget your teddy bears and have lots of fun!

PE


Joe Wicks has posted lots of short workouts for children so why not try one of those this fun Friday? Click below for a fun 8-minute workout:

Enjoy your week Nursery. We are really looking forward to singing, learning and playing together again soon!
