Literacy

Please look in your child’s folder/sound book to find out if they are doing ‘ai’, ‘ow’ or ‘h’ and ‘w’ this week.  The sounds and games will be given out on Tuesday.

AI and OW – please use the ‘read and roll’ game that is in your child’s folder.  This game is for two players.  Each player needs to have a different coloured pencil or crayon.  The object of the game is to get four words in a row coloured in before the other player does.  Each player rolls the dice and finds a word with the corresponding number from the dice.  They read the word and then colour it in.  Keep trying until 1 player gets a row or column of four words.  Possible extension: make a silly oral sentence using some of the words.

H and W – Please watch the storybot videos for h and w.   Please play the read and roll mat that was sent home.  Please see the instructions in purple above.

St Andrew’s Day – to celebrate St Andrew’s Day we are going to be participating in Scottish dance, making our own tartan and decorating shortbread.  We will also be sharing Scottish stories and songs, and learning some new Scottish words.  Try talking with your family to find out different Scottish words. Choose your favourite one and share it with the class by replying to this comment.  I have done an example to help you.  We will all look at the blog on Thursday to share our different Scottish words so please make sure you have replied before then.

Maths

We are learning about 3D shape.  Please watch this video together.  Try finding one small object from your house that is either a cube, cuboid, cone, cylinder or sphere.  Bring it to school for our 3D shape touch table.
