The information provided below is based on the current learning routines for Pine class.  There are lots of links to songs, which we tend to use a ‘punctuation’ throughout the day, giving the class signals about what we are about to do/learn.

Below is a list of ideas for activities that you could do with your children whilst at home.  It is by no means exhaustive, but hopefully will provide you with enough ideas for variety as well as lots of repetition, which is essential.  The key here is to make the learning successful so they can show you what they know, lots of praise and gradually making it a little more tricky! For example offering 3 choices of answer instead of two.

The class team are currently working on recording themselves reading their favourite stories so watch this space!

Songs

Phonics awareness songs through song and rhyme –
These songs will help to build awareness of the alphabet sounds and names, words that rhyme and words that sound the same. A few of the songs will be familiar as we use them in class. I hope you have fun with them.

Use other favourite songs of theirs and have fun! Here are a few of Pines favourite songs:
