Phonics 

Moons

1. Using the Jollyphonics app, revise the ‘th’,’ch’and ‘sh’ sound.

2 . Look for the ‘th’, ‘ch’ and ‘sh’ sound within your reading books and stories at home.

Test yourself and see if you can spell these words.

1. teeth

2. thorn

3. chop

4. chin

5. shop

6. sheep

Ways to make this fun-

Rainbow writing with coloured pens, writing outside with chalk or doing squiggly writing.

Suns

All the suns have magic e words in their folders.

1. Read the word without magic e and then with magic e (for example cub turns into cube).

2. Draw pictures on the back of the words to show understanding (a picture of a cub and then a picture of a cube).

Numeracy

We have begun to look at giving change when paying for items.

Yellow

This week we are calculating giving change from 5p and 10p coins.

Use your toys to set up toy shop scenarios for example the dinosaur is five pence and I pay using a ten pence how much change will I receive?

Counting Strategies

Encourage your child to work out the answer by doing a take away, for  example 10-5=5. Use your fingers to help you.

If your child is managing this go on to talk about finding the difference between the numbers to work out the answer. When talking about this emphasis that they can count on from 5 to 10, counting how many numbers are in between on their fingers.

If your child needs to you can use a number line to do the take away sum or calculate the difference.

Topic

As part of our topic on toys we are going to show and tell our favourite toys. Please bring in your favourite toy next Monday.

Children should be able too talk about at least three of these points-

1. Say what their toy is.

2. Say which force, if any the it uses (push, pull, twist).

3. Say if the toy needs electricity to work.

5. Say what materials were used to make their toy and why they think they were chosen.

4. Say why it is their favourite toy.

Children will also be learning about how to use eye contact and a loud, clear voice to engage their audience . They should aim to do this at home when preparing their show and tell for school.
