Science Activity

Sound: Facts (Science Trek: Idaho Public Television)

Yesterday we started to explore echoes by speaking to a cup in different ways. Today, your child can experiment with different objects around the home such as cardboard or plastic tubes etc.

Encourage them to move into different rooms of different sizes. Do they notice a difference in making echoes in the bathroom? Discuss why this might be. Most bathrooms have many hard surfaces (and less soft furnishings to absorb sounds).

Use the Resource Sheet 2 to draw a tick or a cross next to the objects if they made an echoey sound. Alternatively, your child could draw their own pictures and note what happened.

Phonics

Good afternoon.

We hope you’re all enjoying the sunshine. We wanted to show you a new initiative that is being launched on Monday to help your child access phonics lessons. Every day there will be a new  lesson posted online at a certain time.  You can then access the lesson whenever you want,  with your child at a time that suits you.

There are 3 different levels of lessons released each day.

1-Learning to Blend. This is the lesson to work through if your child still finds it tricky to put together sounds to make a word e.g. b – i – g  is big.

2-Reception. These are the lessons that contain the content that your child would be taught during the summer term in Reception.

3-Year 1. These are the lessons that contain the content your child would be taught during the summer term in Year 1. Year 2’s could also do these lessons to keep their phonics knowledge going.

If your child is finding a lesson too tricky, try doing the earlier lesson to build their confidence-its about the children keeping up regular practise and having a go.

Remember there are also the bug club books online to help you keep up with your phonics based reading.

The links below are for the letter to parents explaining more and a link to the channel.

Thank you for all the hard work you are putting in at home with your children. You are all doing a fantastic job. Stay safe.
