Throughout the week:
Choose some activities from pages 1 and 2 to complete together from the Early Years school closure pack.
Your themed challenge for this week is:
Can you watch the Easter story and discuss it together? How do the people and Jesus feel throughout the story? Can you retell what happened in sequence?
Now can you create an Easter garden to represent the story? You could use anything you like to create this! You might like to paint it, use creative materials, natural resources or lego? Can you make some labels for your Easter garden?
Here is the link to the Easter story:

Literacy challenge-
Reception- Today we are learning about the air sound in phonics. It’s a trigraph which means it is made up of 3 letters but it makes 1 sound.
First learn more about the air sound here with Geraldine the giraffe. Can you think of a word with the air sound in? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcHIX2xK--A
Next can you draw pictures of things with the air sound in and then label or write a sentence about them? For example; draw a chair and write the word chair or a sentence like ‘It is a pink soft chair.’
Now can you sign into phonicsplay.co.uk. This is free to access at the moment. The user name is march20 and the password is home. Play dragons den. Select the air sound. Read the real and nonsense words with the air sound in. Give the real words to the green dragon and the nonsense words to the red dragon.
Nursery- Today we are learning about the s sound in phonics.
First can you learn more about the s sound with Geraldine. Can you think of anything that starts with a s? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUmUpf-JNoU
Now can you hunt for things that start with a s around your house and garden? What did you find?
Next can you draw some things that start with a s and label them with a s. If you need help, ask your parent to write s for you and you can either trace over the top or copy it.
