Early Years Foundation Stage:
Home Learning Spring 2021
St Gerard’s Catholic Primary & Nursery School
“Guided by God, St Gerard's Catholic Primary and Nursery School is an inspiring and
aspirational community where we learn to love, hope, dream and achieve.”
Personal Social and Emotional Development
As discussed last week, we are
going to be focusing on ‘Chil-
dren’s Mental Health’ during
our learning time this week. Not
just as a ‘one off’ but making
lasting changes that we will
continue to practice on a daily
basis.
To start this week’s learning we
are going to be taking part in a
virtual assembly provided by
‘Oak National Academy’.
Please click on the link to be
taken to it.

You may have seen some of the won-
derful illustrations by Charlie Mackesy
being shared on social media.
Charlie Mackesy is a British artist and
the author of The Boy, the Mole, the
Fox and the Horse. The book has sold
over 1.4 million copies and spent 55
weeks on the Sunday Times Bestsellers
List top ten.
We would love to spread ‘positive
vibes’ and show that we are thinking
about happy times and about better
days are coming. Therefore, please
can you use the attached activity to
create a rainbow within the picture.
You can use colouring pencils, paint,
watercolours or any colourful media
you have at home. It would be fantas-
tic to see so many so we can create
a wonderful display in school.
Literacy Activity:
This week our focus text is ‘Aliens Love
Underpants’. This week we are going to
be exploring the different characters of
the story, creating our own characters
and even making our own underpants
for the cheeky aliens.
In this week’s pack you will see we have
a writing activity with lot of different
sounds we have been learning during
our focused ‘Phonics Time’. Using the at-
tached sheet please could you spend
time with your child making up silly
names for their aliens?
The idea behind this activity is to see if
your child can identify learned sounds
within words and ‘FRED TALK’ to under-
stand what they have read.
Reading Activity:
Once your child has completed the
above activity, why not encourage
them to apply their new learning by
writing silly names for people in your
house? Can they use the letters in your
names to create ‘Alien names’ for
people they know?
Maths Activities:
This week, as part of our White Rose
Maths, focus we are going to be explor-
ing ‘Addition’ and combining groups of
objects together.
As discussed on the video message last
week, we will be encouraging the chil-
dren to step away from technology and
using practical resources to stimulate
their physical and mental development.
Please see attached activity sheets for
Maths, however if you want to be a little
more creative with our activities, why not
try the following:
• Using clean socks and creating
pairs with pegs – you could even
extend this to counting in 2s.
• Finding objects around the house
that are the same (See picture be-
low).
Pairs Activity:
In keeping with our ‘Aliens Love Under-
pants’ theme, why not cut out the at-
tached pictures and create a pairs game
with your child?
Turn all of the cards over and take turns to
turn them over and match them. This is
brilliant for the development of ‘Social
and Emotional’ skills and supports your
child to understand the importance of
taking turns whilst playing games.
Expressive Arts & Design Activities:
You may have seen from our school
Twitter page. Our keyworker children
made these wonderful aliens using junk
modelling pieces, pipe cleaners and
googly eyes. If you have the resources
at home why not make your own alien.
You can then use your ‘Alien Name
Writing’ activity as stimulus to make a
new friend.
It would be great to see videos and pic-
tures of you making your new friend.
You can also recreate this activity using
playdough. Please do not go out of the
house and buy specific craft equip-
ment to do this.
If you have playdough you can make
the following:
Name the Alien
Cut and paste the graphemes to create names for the aliens!

#MathsEveryoneCan
Go on a walk to collect some natural objects.
Explore making pairs with what you have found.
How many pairs have you found?
Do you have any objects left over or do they all group into pairs?
#MathsEveryoneCan
Look carefully at the picture.
Can you find 4 flowers and 4 flowers? How many flowers altogether?
Can you find 2 and 5? How many altogether? What else can you see?
Now make your own picture and draw some groups to count.#MathsEveryoneCan
How many spots do the dominoes have on each side?
How many do they have altogether?#MathsEveryoneCan Use the dominoes to fill the track. Touching ends must match. Can you make a complete circuit?
#MathsEveryoneCan
Play the number track game with a friend.
Roll 2 dice. How many spots do you have altogether?
Can you predict what number you will land on?
How many more spaces do you need to move in order to win the game?

“Guided by God, St Gerard's Catholic Primary and Nursery School is an inspiring and

Dear Parents,
Here are the next ‘Red Words’ that your children are learning. In the Read, Write,
Inc. scheme ‘red words’ are used to help the children recognise the fact that there
are words that are tricky to read because you cannot sound them out in the normal
way. Your child needs to be able to read these words on sight. Good luck
