Language

The children have a laminated lined sheet in their folders to practice writing sentences.  You should aim to do this at least once a week and do approximately three sentences.  The children should think about the targets below when doing their sentences.  Try to use your  phonics words within your sentences (these will be listed on the blog weekly and should be referred to).

This is an activity that will be useful to keep your child thinking about writing in the holidays.  Using the laminated sheet also helps to take the pressure away as they can rub things out and easily change it.

Numeracy

All the children should have a laminated sheet with number bonds to 10 and beyond.  Use this now, until the end of term to help you increase the speed at which you can recall these addition facts.  Doing this should help your child improve their ‘Beat That’ Score.  By doing this activity for short periods of time daily children should begin to remember the sums at speed and with increased accuracy.

You can also group the sums to help your child.

For example-

Adding 1

Adding 2

Adding doubles

Number stories(sums that end in the same number eg. 5+5=10, 4+6=10)

Doting the sums you are focusing on will help your child.
