This week we are focussing on reading for enjoyment in class.  This will be the main focus for our homework too.  Your child will not take a reading book home this week.

Reading task

Try reading lots of different books at home this week.  We have been learning about rhyming books, fiction books and non-fiction books.  Try reading books under each of these categories for fun.  Get someone to take a photograph of you reading one of these books in an unusual place e.g. under a tree, on a swing etc.  Please bring the photograph to school next Wednesday (1st June).  There will be a prize for the most interesting or unusual photograph.  We will be displaying these photographs in our classroom to try and promote reading for enjoyment.

Please try playing ‘Teach your monster to read’ for 15-20 minutes this week.

Maths task

Learn-its:  please revise all learn-its: 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, 4+4, 5+5, 2+1, 2+3

Please practise counting in 2s, 5s and 10s this week.  You could do this using the SPLAT square – click here or whack a mole – click here (please change the step size to 2,5 or 10).

You could also try clapping, jumping, hopping as you count up in 2s, 5s or 10s.  We do this in class a lot so you should manage to do this at home.

PLEASE NOTE:  WE WILL NOT BE GOING TO THE FOREST THIS WEEK AS MRS DUNCAN WILL BE OUT OF CLASS ON WEDNESDAY.  APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE.
