Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and had a lovely weekend. I am working in the Hub again all of this week so have put our whole weeks learning into this one post and have had to slim down the additional learning a little, but I know you all have many of your own great ideas anyway! This could also be a perfect time to catch up or spend extra time on any prior learning posts I have blogged over the last 6 weeks that you didn’t find opportunity to complete. Of course I am always at the end of an email if you need anything. Sending lots of love.
Get up and moving with this brain break materials.
Joe Wickes is still available daily for a quick, fun workout. Or alternatively Oti Mabuse for some dance classes aimed at children. Both can be accessed via YouTube.
There are many other YouTube based resources we have dipped into including any active learning material from Jack Hartman, JustDanceKids, Cosmic Yoga and GoNoodle.
Weeks Literacy –
Monday’s plan for literacy –
- practice all of your sounds using your sound chart.
- play ‘Teach your Monster to Read’
- complete reading sheets – Red group- sheet 13, Green group- 22, Pink group- sheet 38
- Complete the ‘questions to talk about’ section detailed at the bottom of page
- 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?

Weeks Numeracy and Maths –
- I have saved 4 ‘BBC Bitesize’ number lessons into our account on BBCBitesize Daily Lessons. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize Click on the ‘MyBitesize’ tab and login to access Username – P1StNinsDundee, Password – St-Nins1. The lessons are number bonds, how to add numbers, add more and count on and subraction within 20. Please complete as many or few of these as you want along with the linked tasks.
- Use the resources in your ‘home learning kit’ and previous blogs to do some of your favourite number games again. Maybe you love finding numbers on your 100 square, adding or subtracting using your 10’s frames and counters or using your playing cards and dice to do calculations.
- Use your ‘BusyThings’ login to play a huge range of number and mathematical concept games.
Lots to keep you busy!
Other learning tasks –
- Spend this week working through any of the home-learning topics provided on Dundee Science Centre. We have looked at a few before but there is still lots of fun learning to explore. Have fun!
