Tuesdays learning jobs…

RWI Phonics, word reading and spelling–

We have been using Ruth Miskin (RWI creator) youtube live videos but I have been made aware these are a little hit or miss with access.  I have only used these for the red group today as the other was not suitable.  Remember don’t worry about the date shown on the video, I like to watch these beforehand to make sure they are suitable for us but where possible and appropriate.

💗 + 💚Green literacy group –

Focus on speedy reading and spelling words with the ‘ar’ sound.  You will find this page in your sound booklet.  Think about how many sounds each word has, the placement of these and if there are any other special friends in the words.  Choose 3 words and create a sentence for each.  Try to make your sentences as descriptive and exciting as possible.

words are – car, part, hard, start, star and sharp.

❤Red literacy group – Focus on speedy reading and spelling using set 1 sounds with these videos.

Continue to work through the ‘Talk4Writing’ home learning unit from last week at your own pace, picking and choosing parts to suit you, your time, ability, resources and interest of children.  This will be our final week spent on this unit of work

Don’t forget to schedule in some brain breaks.  Maybe go for a walk to get some fresh air or use one of the brainbreak resources we have used recently.   Here is a link to some ‘cosmic kids Yoga’ if you want some inspiration…

Numeracy – continuing with ordinal numbers

Mental warm-up for our brains –

Lay out 10 of your favourite toys or things from home.  Can you arrange them in an order of most favourite to least?  Can you answer these 6 questions…

1. Which toy is in 1^st place?
2. Can you think of another name for being in 1^st place?
3. Which toy is in 10^th place?
4. Can you think of another name for being in 10^th place?
5. Which toy came 5^th?
6. Which place does each toy come in?

We will use the story ‘Room on the Broom’ to apply our learning from yesterday about ordinal numbers.  If you have the book please use that or alternatively, here is an online reading.  As you are watching or reading, please think about the order of characters travelling on the broom.  Use you learning to either draw or make your own broom just like the one in the story, clearly showing the place of each character and your understanding of ordinal numbers.

Other tasks – science, maths and imaginative play

The witch in the story makes a potion and casts a magic spell at the end of the book to help her and all of her friends.  Can you make your own magic potion with interesting but safe things you can find outside or around your house?  Make sure you ask a grown-up to help and wash your hands before and after to keep safe.  Think about what how many ingredients your potion has, how you are going to mix them up, what your own magic word might be and what your spell is going to do?

Have fun and remember I would love to see some of your fabulous efforts!
