EYFS Home Learning

Spring Term 2022

This term, we would like you to continue to practise reading every day with your child. We will send home a book weekly for your child to read at home with you. When we begin Phase 3 Phonics, we will also send home the ‘caption action’ pictures for each of our new sounds. Please stick these into your child’s phonics book and complete a short activity in the phonics book with them (see inside cover of phonics book). Practising the sounds in your child’s phonics book also counts as their daily reading practise. As a school we expect every child to be read with at least 4 times a week. This includes them reading to you as well as you reading to them and discussing the texts. Please use your child’s Home School Partnership diary to record the reading you are doing at home.

On our ‘Next Weeks Learning’ document we email on a Friday, we will also detail weekly home learning tasks. There will be one Phonics, one Maths and one Topic task suggested. These are usually practical activities that will not take more than 5 minutes to complete. We ask that you share a minimum of one of these activities with us via a Tapestry photo and post. We would also love for you to share any other significant achievements or WOW moments with us on Tapestry.
