Work for our last week of school 22nd June 2020

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
We have reached the end of the school year, and what a year it has been. It's one we will never forget, probably not for the best reasons.I am just linking a few small activities this week as, under normal circumstances, this would be a week filled with trips to the pitch, graduations, end of year Mass and some ice creams. I wish to thank you all for the hard work you have done with the children at home since lockdown began. I know it hasn't been easy, and hopefully we can get back to school in September, all going well.

There are daily lessons and printable activities posted here daily that will be great to supplement the children's learning too. Their video lessons are quite good and the stories and corresponding worksheets are very engaging.

What home learning help and activities can I find here?

With lesson ideas and even break time activities, these daily schedules are designed to support your home learning experience. You can find itineraries for EYFS, KS1, KS2 children: simply select your child's age at the top. You can either follow the full itinerary each day or pick and choose some home learning activities to try with your child. You can also find a wealth of teacher-made resources in all subjects for EYFS, KS1, KS2 and KS3/4 children.

How can I support my child when home learning?

Trying to stick to a schedule or itinerary can help you and your child, but find what works best for you. If you have the room, you could also set up dedicated spaces for you and your child to work. Make sure to take care of yourself and your child with some mindfulness activities. You could try yoga or colouring. You could also take a look at the Twinkl Parents Hub for more help, advice and support.

How can I make home learning more fun?

Our partners have created some fun, educational activities for primary school children with some of their favourite characters. Try activity booklets, crafts or these lovely Twinkl Originals books to help keep your child engaged and entertained.

Learning to read with phonics

If you live in England, your child will learn to read using phonics. Their school is very likely to use either the Letters and Sounds phonics framework or the Read Write Inc. programme. Check with your school if you're not sure which one they use.

Using Letters and Sounds?

If your child is using Letters and Sounds, you can find this list of eBooks by Letters and Sounds Phases useful. Bear in mind the following:

If you don't know your child's Phase, you can check with your school. As a guide, most Reception children will be on Phases 1-4 and most Year 1 children will be on Phases 4-5. Beyond Phase 5, your child will be able to decode most books.

In Letters and Sounds, there are 'sets' within the Phases - so your child might not know all the sounds in every book within their Phase.

Some series contain occasional 'tricky words' that your child can't decode using phonics. Use the inside front cover notes to teach your child these words before they start the book.

Find out more about Letters and Sounds >

Using Read Write Inc. Phonics?
If your child is being taught to read using the Read Write Inc. programme, you can find books suitable for them by clicking on the 'Levels' menu below and using the 'Read Write Inc.' filter to select the right level.

Find more support and resources for Read Write Inc. in our parents' guide to Read Write Inc. >

Sharing books and independent reading

If your child is reading simply for enjoyment, comprehension, or practice, just browse the library or use any of the other filters. You can check which level is right for your child with this simple test from Read with Oxford.
