In PSHE, we are learning about how we grow and change and what this may feel or look like. We will learn about what it means to be healthy and ways we can stay healthy. We will explore the human life cycle and look forward to sequencing our own life cycles! Please send in or email any photographs to help us with this work- baby, toddler and child photographs as each child has grown up.
We will also work towards finding calming and self-regulation strategies to support us. We check-in with our feelings daily during registration and use symbols to communicate how we feel.
The mathematical concepts this term are;
number, shape, size & capacity.
Number
- Number exploration in sensory bins
- Number hunt - Can you recognise numbers in the environment? Local shops / in the home!
- How many ways can your child represent a number?
- Playing number based games: Snakes & Ladders
- Number formation - use resources such as paint, bingo markers, felt tips, play-dough to write numbers.
- Can your child help counting things around the house? For example: counting the shoes.
- Collect pebbles whilst our on a walk and make number pebbles / stones to use as a maths resource.
- Can the children sequence these number pebbles? 0-10 10-20 or even backwards 10-0
- Use a glove and rice / flour to create a sensory hand to represent numbers.
- Understand and use the terms lots and one.
Shape
- Cut out scrap pieces of paper into different shapes (children can help depending on ability). Let the children make a replica of their home, a rocket or any other designs the children would like to make.
- Build different shapes with collected stones.
- Chalk different shapes on the pavement.
- Dried pasta / cocktail sticks and play-dough to create different 3D shapes.

Size
- Can you find small & big objects around your home. Can you use your toys and order them from small to big?
- Build big lego towers & small lego towers
- Line the shoes in small too big size order or big too small.

Capacity
Try exercising some of these key vocabulary (displayed on the word mat below) at home with your child. This will encourage and support them to understand the concepts of this vocab. Below are some ideas in doing so for you to try at home...
- Fill different bottles (used fruit shoots) up with different coloured fluid liquid and allow children to fill other bottles up.
- Use lego / porridge oats / flour and other materials or resources as a replacement for water to fill different containers to different capacity levels.
- Use colouring / whiteboard pens to represent full / empty / half full on hand drawn glasses.
- Capacity bingo

In this section there are lots of ideas and website game links to support your child with their phonics and literacy at home. Some general ideas for phonics learning at home are:
- Writing letters from the alphabet in different sensory bins such as oats / glitter / sand etc.
- Phonic tubs - use different objects of reference such as an apple for the letter 'a' for children to identify the initial sound.
- Mark making in different sensory materials.

Reading with your child:
Enjoy some of your children's favourite books with them. Here are some suggestions and questions you can use whilst reading to your child...
- Encourage children to turn the pages independently
- Ask children to point to the different characters / pictures in the story
- Ask children to recall the story.
- What might happen next?
- Who is your favourite character? Why?
- What do you think will happen in the end?
