Our week: KG 2, week 15
Dates: to · Try one activity on a day that suits you. Repeat or pause any part.
Reading & talking
Do: Open the word. Write moon and book on folded paper, with only oo showing. Open each fold and read the whole word together. Listen to your usual pronunciation. Explain that seeing oo alone does not always tell us how the whole word sounds.
You need: Paper and a pencil
Talk: Which letters could you see before opening the folds?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Rhyme Time
Writing & pencil control
Do: What shall we ask? Ask your child what they would like to know about your favourite game or fruit. Choose one short question together. Say it aloud, then write it, sharing unfamiliar words. Add a question mark at the end.

Science & our world
Do: Notice daylight safely. Look at daylight on the ground through a safe window, never at the Sun. Later, compare the view after dark with an adult. Draw one difference. If the Moon is already clearly visible away from the Sun, notice it; there is no need to search.
You need: Paper and a pencil

Game (optional): Day & Night
Thinking & feelings
Do: Choose two comforts. Offer sitting quietly together, stretching hands gently or taking a few comfortable breaths. Try only what your child chooses. Draw two options on a small plan, including asking you for company. Let your child point instead of speaking.

Moving & making
Do: Ready for one bounce. Face each other close enough for a gentle pass. Wait for ready hands, then bounce the ball once on the floor between you towards your partner. Let them gather it against their body. Use a roll instead if preferred. Swap sender and receiver.
You need: The ball or sock and a clear space
Talk: How will I know you are ready?

Game (optional): Position Quest
