5 Comments

Hello Everyone, Thursday already where has this week gone !

Today i tried the Literacy Hot Syllables Challenge, you can see my attempt below on the video but don’t worry I have sounded them out you  still need to count them!

As I am aware you may not have come on to that challenge yet !

This is my first video,  I thought about practising over and over again with recording my voice and then I thought you guys might like to see my progression with my Talking Skills the more videos I make.

The website I used for the free printable fonts can be seen below however  I am sure there are many many more on offer online.

Hope you enjoy!

Numeracy Grid 1 – Resources for Parents – Mild challenges

2 Comments

In school numeracy is often taught using practical materials, in particular numicon and ten frames.

Ten frames

A ten frame is a rectangle split into 2 rows and 5 columns.

It is used to show numbers that are less than or equal to 10.

Placing objects on the frames helps children to visualise different ways to represent numbers.

You could download and print the ten frame sheet below from Twinkl

twinkl-blank-ten-frame-activity-sheet-landscape-1-per-page

or

make your own.

An empty egg box can be a great 10 frame.

It is a great way to help children organise amounts to count.

Numicon

The links below open free resources from the numicon website that I find helpful, although I do recognise that you might not have access to a printer.

Numicon_pcms_Adding_Facts_to_10

Numicon_pcms_Adding_Facts_to_20

How to make your own numicon – a bit fiddly but a great measuring activity for older children.

Numeracy Grid challenge – Mental Maths activities – Spicy Level but suitable for all

Leave a comment

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.

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!

We look forward to playing Sumdog with you all.

Literacy Grid 1 – Letter Formation mild challenge – Curly Caterpillar Letter Family

Leave a comment

 

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.

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!
