Before we begin, sit down and see if you can remember our days of the week song (sung to the Adams family tune) and when you reach the day you think it is today, JUMP UP QUICK!

Today is THURSDAY! Did you get it right?

Literacy – 

1. Phonics– Practice all sounds on your simple sound chart.  Play the phonics and reading games I have saved into the favourites section of BusyThings.  Use the login in your home-learning pack to access this resource.https://www.busythings.co.uk
2.  Reading– As well as some of the games above which will develop confidence with both phonics and reading, work on the next reading sheet from your booklet.  Do the speed sounds, green words, red words and the short story.

Red literacy group- sheet 4

Green literacy group- sheet 13

Pink literacy group- sheet 29 (sorry we seem to be missing 28 so we will have to skip it!)

Complete the ‘questions to talk about’ section detailed at the bottom of page

4. Writing– Do the ‘Hold A Sentence’ on the bottom of the reading page detailed above in your blue jotter. Please do this on the lined section and look at your ‘reminder of writing skills’ sheet to help. Steps are 1. Grown up reads sentence. 2. Practise saying the sentence aloud a number of times until child remembers it. 3. Grown up models how to write the sentence (can use back pages of blue jotter or spare paper from home) 4. Child writes sentence independently without a visual. Encourage them to keep saying it as they write. 5. Check the writing. What went well, what do they need to remember for next time?

Numeracy –

Use the 100 square and counters in your pack to try to identify some numbers hidden by your grown up.  Can you explain how you knew which number was hiding?  (Try using language such as the number before or after is…) How many groups of ten and how many more (ones) does the hidden number have?

Mathematics –

Moving on from the data handling work we completed yesterday, can you try to complete p30 and p31 in your ‘Early Level Maths Record Book’.  Take your time and get a grown up to talk over the teacher notes at the bottom of each page.  (we will use section 2 on pg.31 for our next learning task detailed below)

Other learning task -Health and Wellbeing

The bottom of pg 31 shows us some signs we might see when we are out and about, or moving around inside a public building like our school, a library or even a shop.

Why do you think signs like these are important to have?  (think about how we travel around safely???)

These signs communicate a message.  We already know we can communicate with others by speaking or writing but we can also share a message visually in the form of a picture or sign.

If you are on a walk today with a grown up, look out for any signs and talk about what information are they trying to communicate with us and why that is important.   Maybe you can even take a photo of some signs you find and post these to our school twitter or email them to me.  Remember to stay safe and observe social distancing when out and about for your daily walk.
