Literacy

– new sounds and new words.  These will be issued on Wednesday.

– reading.  This will be done on Thursday for all groups.

Maths:

Circles – using the whiteboard that your child should still have in their schoolbag please make a noughts and crosses grid.   Write 9 simple addition sums in the different sections of the grid such as 4+3, 5+ 4 etc.  You could also include some learn-its .  Take in turns to complete a sum and draw in a naught or a cross.  The winner is the first to get a line of noughts and crosses.  If your child manages this you could try it with harder sums such as 9+6, 7+5 etc using the count on method that was explained at parent’s evening.  We ‘throw’ the big number in our head and then use our fingers to count on.  The children should be able to demonstrate this if you have forgotten. 🙂

Triangles – please use the numberline that was sent home to practice adding 1.  If the sum was 6+1 your child should place his/her finger on 6 and then add 1 by stepping onto 7.  The idea is that over time your child will be able to mentally add 1 without using the numberline and learn that adding 1 is easy because we go to the next number.

Optional extras

Please watch the ‘fluheroes’ video clip that has been created by the NHS.  This will help prepare your child for the flu vaccine this week.   Click here to watch it.
