Our jobs for today are below…

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

1. 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 12

Green literacy group- sheet 21

Pink literacy group- sheet 37

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?

Mathematics– position and direction recap

Last week we recapped our learning about shape and previously in school we learned about spotting, talking about, extending and creating patterns using colour, shape or type of object. Play these games to practise your understanding of pattern.

Other learning task – science, technology, art and designWatch the online author reading of the story ‘Robot Rumpus’ to give you inspiration for your design challenge today.

Wouldn’t it be great to design and create your own robot for the future that helps with something but didn’t get up to the same mischief as the robots in the ‘Robot Rumpus’ story. The following ‘Draw your own Robot’ competition for 5-7 year olds is open now and has some great prizes, so why not give robot design a go! You are all very creative and full of great ideas so I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Just do it for fun or if you want to enter, all of the details can be found on the following link. Competition closes on the 8^th June and the winner is announced on the 30^th. Good luck!
