Our week: KG 2, week 19
Dates: to · Try one activity on a day that suits you. Repeat or pause any part.
Reading & talking
Do: Read and act. Write cow, now and out. Read cow before making its animal sound. Read now and tap the table together now. Model ou in out, then blend the word together and point out of the room. Say each word naturally.
You need: Paper and a pencil
Talk: Which letters write the vowel sound in out?

Game (optional): Rhyme Time
Writing & pencil control
Do: Write and connect. Say the first label together. Your child writes sounds they know; you help with the rest. Add a line from the label to the correct part. Write a second label on another side so the lines are easy to follow.
You need: The drawing and a pencil

Science & our world
Do: A shared space. Draw a pretend park with a wrapper on the path and a plant beside it. Discuss what might help. Explain that an adult handles unknown rubbish, sharp items and dirty waste. Choose a safe job at home, such as putting your own clean scrap paper in its agreed place.
