Hello Reception 2 Families 

Welcome to Thursday’s Home Learning – I hope everyone is feeling good x

Thursday’s Literacy Work

Today we are going to watch and listen to a short animated film called Nokomi. Animations are moving stories which bring the characters to life before your eyes! The story is all about a likable, mischievous and adventurous little Inuit girl called Nokomi.

Watch the film (there are a few subtitles to read for the children grown ups) and then afterwards, talk about and answer these questions with your grown ups.

Why didn’t Nokomi’s daddy not want to take her out hunting with him?

How did Nokomi feel about that?

Nokomi went out to play, who did she find in the ice-cave?

Can you give him/her a name?

Was he kind to Nokomi?

Do you think it was the right thing for Nokomi to go out of her home and so far away?

Nokomi discovered a new skill that she had learnt from her new friend. What was it?

Nokomi disobeyed her daddy and mischievously went back to visit her new friend. Was this the right thing to do?Why not?

What did her daddy do when he discovered she had gone out again?

How did he feel?

Did Nokomi’s friend want her to leave the ice-cave? How did her new friend feel about her leaving him alone again?

At the end of the film Nokomi’s daddy took Nokomi out with him instead of leaving her at home alone. Why did he do that?

How did Nokomi feel about that?

Was it a happy ending for all of the characters- the strange new friend, Nokomi and her daddy? Why? Why not?

Practise the recall of the phonemes (sounds) that we covered last week by saying these phonemes and asking your child to write the grapheme (the letters that represent these sounds). Remember, they are digraphs: 2 letters representing one sound.

qu  ch  sh  th  ng

We are recapping the 'ai' and 'ee' digraphs this week folks so here goes!

Share the video to practise 'ee'

Share the video to practise 'ai'

Look at the pictures on the screen. Your grown up will point to one of them, you say the word to your grown up and you need write down on paper or on a white board either and 'ee' or a 'ai' depending on which phoneme you hear.

You can print this off as an recorded activity if you wish grown ups. Here is the link..
