Maths

We will now have differentiated maths learn-its.  Please look in the front of your child’s reading record to establish whether they are in the blue or the yellow group.  Look for the coloured dots on the top of the first page.  (Some children did not have their reading records/folders at school today so will not have coloured dots in the front of their reading records).

Yellow Group

Continue to revise 1+1, 2+2, 3+3, 4+4, 5+5.  Try asking your child nonsense sums with these learn-its e.g. 3 monkeys + 3 monkeys, 4 bananas + 4 bananas etc

Blue Group

Please continue to revise the learn-its above.  You can also try learning our new learn-its 6+6, 7+7, 8+8, 9+9, 10 + 10.  Once your child becomes confident with these you could try using the words ‘double’ and ‘half to provide an additional challenge e.g. what is double 7?  What is half of 16?

Literacy

• Reading will be on Tuesday and Thursday this week.
• P1s – new sounds in sound book (on Tuesday).  P1s with z, x and qu: we now know all of our initial sounds.  Please spend this week revising all of these sounds.
• Please spend 20 minutes on ‘teach your monster to read’ this week.  I noticed a lot of children still need to start this – please let me know if you are having problems logging on.
• All P2s will be learning ‘ay’ (or ew)  this week.  Please cut up the sounds that were given home and try making different ay words.  These will be given out on Tuesday.
