Our week: KG 2, week 16
Dates: to · Try one activity on a day that suits you. Repeat or pause any part.
Reading & talking
Do: Hear the ending. Write moon and soon. Read them together and hear their matching endings. Try book and look next, using your own accent. Let your child choose a pair and say it to someone at home. You write the words as they point to oo.
You need: Paper and a pencil
Talk: How do you say book at home?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Rhyme Time
Writing & pencil control
Do: Leave room for an answer. Read the question together. Your child adds a small empty box underneath for an answer picture. If they want another question, help them write one on a new line. Keep both questions short enough to say comfortably.
You need: The question page and crayons
Talk: Where does the question mark go?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Sight Words
Numbers & shapes
Do: How many blocks long? Line blocks along each object with no gaps. Count them. Which object was longest?
You need: Building blocks or dominoes, a shoe, a book, a spoon
Talk: Why did Abba need fewer steps than you?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Size Safari
Science & our world
Do: A turning Earth model. An adult shines a torch at a ball and slowly turns it in place. Follow one mark as it faces the light, then turns away. This models day and night. Without these objects, draw the lit and unlit sides together and explain Earth's turning.
You need: A large ball and adult-held torch, or paper and crayons
Talk: What happens to our mark as Earth turns?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Day & Night
Thinking & feelings
Do: Practise changing the plan. Pretend a game has become frustrating. Ask which picture might help. Try the choice together, then ask whether to continue, change it or stop. Keep the plan nearby. Your child can still need company even after trying an idea.
You need: The picture plan
Talk: Would you like company while we pause?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Feelings Friends
Moving & making
Do: Choose a useful distance. Discuss whether the ball bounced between you or beside your partner. Move closer, or try a gentler send, changing one thing at a time. Try again only when both are ready. Describe which position made the pass easier; no score is needed.
You need: The same clear space and ball or sock
Talk: Would moving closer help our next pass?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Position Quest
A possible rhythm: one or two strands a day, on the days that suit you. Swap days freely. Games are optional and never replace the home activity.
