Hope you and your families are all well.

It has been lovely to hear from some of you ( via comments section).

My adventure continued last week as I spent some time working in the hub, but am working from home this week, so will post some more ideas for learning.

I hope you have managed to spend a little time most days doing some literacy, numeracy and other activities , as well as playing, helping at home and hopefully as the sun comes out a little time outside.

The ideas on the blog are just ideas and no doubt you may find other ways of practising your skills or use the ideas in your pack.

Literacy

Choose 1 idea:

  1. Scavenger hunt  Ask a grown up to write some of the words from your sounds sheets on pieces of paper and hide them somewhere. When you find them can you read them all?
  2. Set 3 sounds (  established yellow and grey groups) – Play the game we sometimes play in school. Select a page with 2 variations of a sound from your set 3 sounds booklet ( maybe igh and i-e). Ask a grown up to write igh on one piece of paper and i-e on another. Place each piece of paper in different places in the garden  or room. The grown up reads a word from the sheet and you run to the appropriate spelling. Good luck!
  3. The adjectives game. Adjectives are describing words. Children who have been in my yellow Read Write Inc group will remember the game we played with Ronnie the rhino. Ronnie collects adjectives. We passed around Ronnie and described him:Ronnie is grey, Ronnie is cold, Ronnie is kind, Ronnie is old, Ronnie is clever, and so on.  I thought you might like to combine some learning about animals with some work on adjectives. First select a zoo and watch the animal of your choice on the web cam ( this is a great site) https://www.countryliving.com/uk/wildlife/countryside/g31784857/live-animal-webcam-zoo/Now, draw a picture of this animal in your jotter. Underneath list as many adjectives as you can. ( For example A penguin is…….., or A tiger is …………How many can you think of? Alternatively, you could do this activity describing a favourite toy.
  4. Needing a new book? Try :https://www.booktrust.org.uk/books-and-reading/have-some-fun/storybooks-and-games/  There are many ,many books free to read online, with a read aloud version and some offer some comprehension questions- just click on the lightbulb.  They also offer fun at home with the authors and illustrators, giving ideas for art and challenges. Enjoy!!
