Numeracy Grid challenge – Mental Maths activities – Spicy Level but suitable for all
Have you managed to do any maths this week. Don’t forget all those practical tasks you are doing at home already use maths in them. We have finally found the time to bake in the Flockton house and we are playing Monopoly which is getting a little heated at times!!!
Some teachers may have some Sumdog activities for those of you that use it in class but feel free to try out other maths apps and websites as well as your practical activities such as weighing or measuring.
Here are a few suggestions –
‘Daily 10’, you can chose all sorts of areas of maths and change the challenge level (Free online)
Multiplication tables – ‘DK Multiplication’ is a hit in our house (Free app)
Carol Vorderman is providing maths tutorials online for those working at the Hot stage.
Most pupils should be familiar with ‘Topmarks’ games (Free online)
P3 love BBC Supermovers, this has songs to dance to and includes everything from Addition to Multiplication. It’s also a little easier than Joe Wicks!!!
We all have our favourite games but leave a comment to share your favourite maths related game (Virtual or not) We might all be reminded of some favourites.

Play Sumdog with Mr Reid and Miss Deans – Spicy/Hot – Numeracy
Good morning everyone
If your child has a Sumdog account, they will be able to play with Mr Reid and Miss Deans between 12pm – 1pm today.
Mr Reid will be playing – Animals
Miss Deans will be playing – Cycle Race
Each game will start on a 5 minute interval, meaning that the first game will start at 12pm, then 12.05pm, 12.10pm etc.
When selecting ‘Who do you want to play against?’ – Select ‘Class’.
We have added every teacher to each class, so we should all be able to play together!

Literacy Grid 1 – Letter Formation mild challenge – Curly Caterpillar Letter Family
Letter Formation
Choose a family of letters to practise each day.
Watch the videos to help you form the letters
Good morning boys and girls,
I spent yesterday making some resources to help you with this challenge.
These resources help you learn to form the
curly caterpillar family of letters.
They almost always begin with a curved line to the left.
The letter can begin at the top or sometimes in the middle but they NEVER begin at the bottom.
Before you start to form your letters warm up your hand by creating curved patterns.
Here are some ideas for covering an egg shape with curved patterns.
Remember to
- check your seating position, pull the chair in
- put your feet flat on the floor
- use your helping hand to hold the paper
- hold the pencil with a comfortable grip – sometimes we call this froggy fingers
These videos will help you learn how to form the curly caterpillar short letters
a c o s
These videos will help you learn how to form the long and tall caterpillar letters

Information for parents and carers
I can write leaflet – I sent this home with P1 children in their journal
Any opportunity to practise these different strokes will help your child with their letter formations.
You do the Marking – Literacy MILD
Morning Everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed our first day of online learning and are ready to start Day 2. I’ve decided to keep my own Learning Journal completing some of the activities from the grids. Yesterday I decided to write a story about Thumper from the Mild column.
I thought about the W5 (who, what, when, where & why) and then decided to write my story. One thing my P2 class know very well about me is that I make so many mistakes and the pupils always help me to correct my work. Sadly I forgot to check my work before I took a photo of it.
Could you check my work for me, what mistakes have I made and what should I do to fix them?
I look forward to reading your feedback, Mr.Mutch
Have a G.R.E.A.T Day!
Tuesday Tunes: HOT Literacy Haiku Poem Challenge- Miss Deans
Good Morning Everyone!
I hope you are all settled into our home learning experience and have had time to relax and chill and do fun things!
You may still be getting to grasp with our learning grids and trying to decide which task to do first, one of our hot literacy challenges is to create a Haiku poem, FUN FACT ALERT!!!
Did you know that Haiku poems can feature in songs, so far I have found lots that unfortunately you may not know but your parents would, HOWEVER I have managed to find one that actually we have featured in an assembly before, Can anyone correctly guess this song ? Please leave your answers in the comments.
Thanks Miss Deans 🙂
The Adventures of Littlecat
Good morning everyone!
Meet Littlecat – my lovely 9 year old tabby.
She’s very friendly and pretty smart too. I’ve trained her to sit, lie down, give a paw and jump up on her hind legs. However, she also likes getting up to mischief. Some of you may already have heard about her exploits – like sleeping in the kitchen drawer, getting stuck on the garage roof, or hiding 56 (yes, 56!) clothes pegs under the tumble-dryer. She would carry them in her mouth, line them up in front of the tumble-dryer, and shoot them under it with her paw as if she was scoring a goal.
Imagine if she came to stay with you … what kind of adventures would you have together? Who would get into more trouble – you or her?
Why not write a short story about what you would both get up to? Remember – she IS mischievous – and very smart!
Have fun. 🙂
Es tiempo de Español
Buenos días a todos,
I wish you had a good start of the week. Today Martes 03 de Marzo, it is time for our Spanish activity of the week. First, I will explain your task. After that, I will do a short review of the topic (so you can remember and to help anyone who might be helping you) and then it’s your turn!
Click in here so you can see your challenge.
| Hola, ¿Cómo te llamas? | |
| Today you will be practicing a short conversation in Spanish with someone at home, or a puppet or toys which ever you think would be more fun! We have done it before so you can try at home. | |
|
Hope you enjoy it.
Nos vemos (see you)

Health and Wellbeing : Grid 1. Hot Challenge. Mrs Fraser has a go !
I liked the look of the mindfulness colouring challenge so I decided to be brave and have a go.
I’ve never done a sway before but it was really easy to do. I played around with it and I had fun choosing my font and background.
Click on the box arrows to view my sway. Leave me a comment for feedback and have a go yourself. You can share your design in a sway or draw it in your journal.
I can’t wait to see what you create.
Mrs Fraser
Literacy Grid 1 – Spicy – Spring Shape Poems
These are the templates downloaded from Twinkl for the Spring Shape Poem Activity. The school pays for a full subscription so hopefully in the current circumstances they don’t mind me sharing these on our blog.
