I can’t believe it is Friday again already. Here is your final learning tasks for this week…
Literacy
- practice all of your sounds using your sound chart.
- play your ‘Race to the Pond’ game – choose a side to suit you.
- Pink and Green groups only – Use your sound booklet to practice the ‘-air’ sound. Can you read the words shown, talk about how many sounds they have and even try to write these without peaking? Ask your grown-up to tell you them one-by-one. To challenge yourself, try to write a sentence containing one or more of your words.

Numeracy – Solving a Word Problem
Use a copy of the worksheet below to solve the following word problem using all of your number skills. You will find a booklet of these in your home-learning pack. Please choose the word challenge for your group, again this is printed on the front of your pack.
Tip: Remember to listen to the problem carefully, find things to model your thinking and talk about how you think you can solve it. What type of calculation will we need to do to find the answer?
This is a tricky word problem in 2 parts where you will have to use both your adding up and taking away skills.
Triangles – Ben is collecting shells on the beach. He finds 2 and then 3 more. Excitedly he puts them into his bag to take home. But at home he can only find 4 shells, he has lost some! How many shells has Ben lost?
Circles – Ben is collecting shells on the beach. He finds 6 and then 3 more. Excitedly he puts them into his bag to take home. But at home he can only find 4 shells, he has lost some! How many shells has Ben lost?

Other learning – Outdoor task linked with yesterdays learning –
Art as a way to communicate.
Watch the online reading of the story Cave Baby. The story is set a long time ago, when it was the Stone Age. Then, people didn’t write things down like we do today to tell a story. They couldn’t take a photograph like we can to keep and share an event or memory. Instead, they drew pictures on the walls of their cave homes so as their story could be told.
- Try to spot how cave baby is feeling at different points in the story. How do you know? How did the illustrator of the story help you to know this?
- If you can safely access the outdoors, try to make your own ‘mud paint’ and use it to create your own works of art just like the characters did in the story.
- Read the poem with a grown up and see if you can come up with some actions to do when it is being read. Getting outside is great! Have a lovely weekend everyone!
