Hallo again Primary 2, its been lovely hearing from some of you
( through comments on blog).
Here’s some more learning ideas for Tuesday and Wednesday
( remember they are only ideas….you do NOT need to do all of them!!) Try to do 1 literacy, 1 numeracy and 1 other each day.
You can use these ideas or ones from previous days or ideas from your pack.
Literacy
Remember to practise reading your sounds on your sounds chart
( from your pack) . Are you using a pencil or spoon or to point to the words? Are you reading to a family member, your cuddly toys or a lego figure?
Try an activity from yesterday’s list or select one from ideas here:
Grey and yellow groups: (Pink group may try it too of course.)
If you enjoyed the adjectives activity yesterday, you might want to play this game to find more adjectives :

Remember an adjective is a describing word.
BBC Bitesize have introduced a great daily learning from home site and this lesson is all about adjectives. You might want to give it a try…. it looks fun!:

Pink and green groups:
You may want to practice matching capital letters to lower case letters. This will help you remember what a capital letter looks like when you start writing a sentence or need one for the start of someone’s name.
Find an old newspaper , comic or magazine and ask an adult to cut out a selection of capital letters with their corresponding lower case letters. Hide them around the room. Search and match!
Alternatively ask an adult to write the capital letters and matching lower case letters and play as above.
Green group:
This game is great to help you practise reading:

Numeracy
Hope you managed yesterday’s challenges.
Squares and triangles
For Challenge 1, Mrs Taylor made 12 by 6×2 or 9 + 3 or 14-2. Which ways did you find?
For Challenge 2, Mrs Taylor made 20 , by 4 x 5 ( squares group), 13 + 7 or 25-5. Which ways did you find?
For Challenge 3 , Mrs Taylor made 25 , by 20 + 3 + 2 or
20 + 6= 25 then -1. Which ways did you find?
For Challenge 4, Mrs Taylor made 50 by 25+ 20 + 5 or 35 + 10 + 5.
Which ways did you find?
BBC Bitesize have some daily lessons and you may find this useful:
Triangles ( there is an explanation about how and why we count in 2s, similar to the work we did in the class, and some questions to answer)
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zkjv382
Squares ( there are explanations about counting in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s, similar to the work we did in class, and some questions to answer)
We haven’t looked at counting in 3s in class but you might want to have a look at this. Activity 1 covers all we have done in class so far.
There are 3 sets of questions. I know the squares group LOVE a challenge, each set of questions gets a little trickier. How many questions can you manage??
You do not need to print these questions out.
You can also use your paper rods and 100 square to help.

Circles and triangles
You have been working on learning your numbers beyond 20.
I wonder how far you have got?
Ask a grown up to say or write some consecutive numbers. Can you say or write the next number? You could use a ball ( or rolled up sock) to play the game we use in class. As you throw the ball to your brother/ sister/ Mum /Dad take turns in saying the next number: Mum : 25, you 26, Mum 27, you 28 etc.
Alternatively, play this game, selecting 100 as the highest number>
