Can you practise these phonemes with the caption action ‘v, sh, ch, z, ll, ff, ss’

Recap the caption action for the ‘ure’. Can you form this grapheme on paper?

Ask an adult to write some words containing the ‘ure’ sound and hide them around your house. Can you go on a detective hunt to find them and try to segment and blend them?

Maths – Money

Listen to the coins song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFzAU3u06Ps

With your role-play shop you made yesterday, can you give the different objects/items a price. Either find some pennies or make some out of paper. Can you use the coins to buy the items? Adults can you encourage your child and use language such as change, price, amount, coins, money, left over, expensive, cheap etc.

 

Thematic: What sounds can you hear in the Rainforest?

Can you make some shadow puppets of animals you might find in the rainforest. Can you find a torch and make the shadows move?

Remember to write your full name at the bottom of the letter.
