 Learning and sequencing the story…making puppets…using the language of comparison…making porridge…constructing furniture for the Three Bears…writing a ‘sorry’ letter from Goldilocks…singing ‘When Goldilocks went to the house of the bears

Websites to support your child's learning at home

Maths

Maths Early Years Games such as Teddy Numbers, Underwater Counting, Ladybird spots, Helicopter Rescue, Caterpillar Ordering are great for ordering, sequencing and counting numbers to ten. These will also support in recognising digits.

The Numberblocks games and activities on the CBeebies website are also good.

English

Phonicsplay is a really useful resource for phonics.

The buried treasure game is great for learning letters and sounds. (We are starting on phase two).

Also it's worth looking on Picnic on Pluto and Dragon's Den games.
