Exploring Sound

Today we are going to focus on sounds and explore the sounds we can hear all around us.

Click on the link below and listen carefully to the sounds the children can hear in the woods... 

 

  • The Sounds Around Us The children are walking in the woods with Jeanie. What sounds will they hear? Listen carefully...
Look on Tapestry to find more sound clips.

In nursery last term we started our jolly phonics, looking at the sounds -  s  a  t  p  i  n

Click on the link below to listen to these sounds. Join in with the actions...

Please ask your child the following questions, saying the letter name clearly and also the sound it makes (for the letters s a t p i n).

For example...

  1. Can you find me something beginning with the letter 's' and the sound ssss?  (Maybe they can find a sock, soap, shoe, etc)
  2. Can you find something beginning with the letter 'a' and the sound aaa?  (Maybe they can find an apple, alarm clock, their arm, etc)

 

Share your learning in Tapestry with me please.

Story - This story focuses on sounds in the environment...
  1. Why couldn't Mr Bear fall asleep?
  2. What noises could he hear in his bedroom?
  3. What noises could he hear in baby bear's bedroom?

  • Dear Zoo Listen to Justin (Cbeebies) as he tells the story about finding a pet

After listening to the story, can you tell it together and let your child fill in the missing words...

They sent me an e _ _ _ _ _ _ _. He was too b _ _ . I sent him back.

So they sent me a f _ _ _. He was too j _ _ _ _. I sent him back.

So they thought very hard and sent me a p _ _ _ _. He was p _ _ _ _ _ _.

 I kept him!

 

  1. If you could have any pet in the world, what pet would you like?

Good Morning,

I hope you are all well on this grey and rainy morning. I have been out for my walk to the park, with my dog, and it was deserted! I had to go through lots of big puddles on my journey, which my dog absolutely loved. Have a look on Tapestry to see the videos of Pepsi splashing in the big puddles! It was great fun...

(Point to the correct picture and say the word.)

  • Wellies or sandals?

  • Rain-coat or T-Shirt?
 
  • Did I take my sunglasses or my umbrella?
 
 
Let's watch the 'Come Outside Rainy Day' story...

Friday 15th January 2021

Morning all,

Today I will be phoning you all. I look forward to speaking to you.

Don't forget to watch CBBC at 9am, where the topic is English and Wellbeing this morning.

Today I would like you to reflect on previous learning, as it is through repetition that we learn best, so look back over the work we have done this week (I will be asking about this over the phone!)

Hope to see you at the 2pm Story-Time session.

Have a lovely weekend.
