Sounds will be issued on Tuesday this week – please complete literacy homework after these sounds have been issued.  Thank you.

Maths

We have been enjoying playing a caterpillar numeracy game.  Click here to access it.  Mostly the Primary ones have been working on numbers to 10 and the Primary twos have been working on numbers to 20.  Please feel free to go to the next level/number if your child manages to complete a few shots within numbers to 10/20. You can continue up to 100.

Literacy

New literacy sounds will be sent home on Tuesday.  P1s – look in your child’s sound book to see which sound (and corresponding activity below) he/she should focus on.  P2s – you are focusing on ‘ee’ this week.

ee –  Watch the ‘ee’ alphablocks episode – click here.  Then go on a sound hunt and find 7 objects or toys that contain the ee sound.  For example, I am thinking of a food that you might have with macaroni….

l and f – watch the storybot ‘f’ and ‘l’ clips.  Although these use the letter names rather than the sounds they are great for reinforcing initial letters and may give you ideas for things to hunt for in your house.  Try hunting around your house for 3 toys that begin with each sound.  Apologies for the initial confusion about which letter it was this week! 🙂

Optional extra for P1 and P2 – play ‘Kim’s memory game’ using the objects you have found.  Cover the objects with a tea-towel and try to guess which objects are underneath the towel.  You could even try writing some of the words.

Have fun!

Thanks,

Mrs Duncan
