A new week!

I am working in the hub this week, so I will post a selection of activities for the whole week. Any activities on past posts can also be carried out of course.

Literacy

Grey group

Numeracy

Squares

• Let’s practise place value. This is where we think about how a number is made up. We did a lot of work on this using rods and Numicon and learned that 65 is made up from 6 tens and 5 ones.Play this game to practise : https://www.topmarks.co.uk/place-value/place-value-charts    selecting TU . (We used the term ones instead of units.)  You might like this game too. It has towers of 10 and ones but they are different colours than our rods.http://www.ictgames.com/sharkNumbers/mobile/index.html
• Mrs Taylor has been making pictures with rods on the site I mentioned previously.https://nrich.maths.org/4348The value of my house is:  6 x10 ( orange)

+ 2 x 5 ( yellow)

+ 4 ( pink)

= 74.

Can you calculate the value of this picture?

 

and this one?

 

Now go to the website and make your own pictures. Calculate the value of each one.

Triangles

Enjoy making pictures on above site and calculating the value of each picture.

 

Squares and Triangles

Here is the game I posted about last week:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=SpringNumber

This time go to the parcels page and select 2x to answer / 10 x to answer. Squares you may also like 5x to answer.

 

Circles

• Here is the game I posted about last week:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=SpringNumber

Select the flowers option. Choose Count 10 -20 ,Match 1 more/ Match 1 less, or any of the match answer in bottom section. Good luck!

• Or you might like  a challenge here:

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/number-facts/number-fact-families

 

Select + and –

You need to use 3 numbers and the + and – signs to make sums. Remember when you add you get a high number , so put the largest number at the end. If taking away, put the largest number at the start.

Good Luck!

 

• Number Shape Addition To 10 Activity Sheet   gives you practise adding using Numicon.  This sheet does too, but is  a little trickier, giving practise with your number stories of 10): Number Shapes Number Bonds To 10 Activity Sheet
• Here’s a missing number activity: Raindrop Missing Number Activity Sheet

Other activities

If you have an empty cereal box, you might like to make this with some adult help:Cereal Box Guitar – Craft Instructions

or  a trickier one :Cereal Box Weaving – Craft InstructionsCereal Box Teddy Bear – Craft Instructions

or another trickier one:Cereal Box Puppet Theatre – Craft Instructions

or maybe :Cereal Box Teddy Bear – Craft Instructions

Have a good week!

(Remember you can contact me via glow, or adding a comment to blog.)

Take care!

It’s Friday again!

Literacy

• Ask an adult to read each word for you to spell. Remember the ending sounds like “t” but is  written as “ed“

Green, pink and new yellow groups:

played     showed     looked     sprayed     started     whirled

Established yellow and grey groups:

thanked     jumped     pushed ( this is a red word!)     lived ( you just add the d as the e is already there)     crossed     checked      watched ( this is a red word)

Here’s another chance for the grey and yellow groups to explore adjectives ( describing words):

• alien adjectives

Numeracy

Squares and Triangles

Wishing you a good Thursday!

Literacy

All groups

• Today , take your pointing stick ( end of pencil, spoon, straw, etc) and practice reading the words from the red word list ( there is  a copy in your home learning pack, or it is shown in link below).

red-word-list-

Remember “you can’t Fred a red”. These words don’t follow the sounds rules. You might be able to tell an adult why they each word is a red word. ( In was, the a sounds like an o!)

Ask an adult to choose a word. Can you write it without looking at it?

• Green and pink groups: Can you write the words to match the pictures. Use your sounds chart to blend sounds: c – o -t

Now you try:

Here are suggested tasks for today ( remember you can always  choose learning from previous posts too):

Literacy

• Grey and yellow groups, please continue tasks from the BBC Teach lesson. Details given on  on yesterday’s P2 post: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zv78jhv

 

 

• Green, pink and new yellow groups:

Today we are looking at the oo sound : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9U9y5XfJEs

Now read these sentences. Take a note of why the red words are red words ( they don’t follow our spelling pattern – the sounds misbehave). Count the number of words and look at the punctuation.

I took a book to look at.

Today I will help cook the lunch.

Say them in different voices.

Now without looking at the sentences, write them down.

How well did you do?

• Established yellow and grey groups

Add ing to each word to make new words. Remember you can’t have an “e”  with an “ing”!

look       shout     cook     make     take     play     choose     enjoy     wave     start     like     twirl     sort     score     squeeze     count     chase

Hallo again everyone!

For today’s learning, please try activities from those suggested below in the Literacy and Numeracy sections:

 

Literacy

• There is a lesson with many activities using punctuation. It is suitable for grey and yellow Read Write Inc groups. There is a lot to do in this lesson, so please just try some today and some tomorrow:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zv78jhv

It starts with a reminder of how to use punctuation (filmed before social distancing). Activity 1 is a game:

Select sentences and easy to put words into the correct order and ensure each sentence has a capital letter and full stop.Then select punctuation and an option to practise using different punctuation.

In Activity 2, you are asked to write  sentences before watching the clip. After watching it, write some more.

In Activity 3, you are asked to make a list ( as in Monday’s suggested Literacy activity on blog). You might then write some sentences using some of the words in your list.

• ReadWriteInc 

Here are some reading activities on the Read Write Inc site. Just click on the arrow to scroll through words to read words using the sounds you know. These words are in the books you at your level.

Green group 

Please practise reading these words:

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29098.html

Pink group

Please practise reading these words:

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29093.html

Yellow groups

Please practise reading these words:

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29095.html

Grey group

Please practise reading these words:

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29092.html

Numeracy

Squares and Triangles

Practise using your 10 times tables:https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zk89d6f

For activity 1, write 2 number sentences ( sums) fro each picture, an addition one and a times table one. ( example 10 + 10 + 10 = 30 and 3 x 10 =30)

There are games in activity 3 and 4.

Activity 2 is more suitable for squares as it uses “turnaround sums”

(2x 10 is the same as 10 x 2)

 

Circles

You have been learning about numbers bigger than 10 or 20.

Take your 100 square.

Ask an adult to say a number. They will tell you something about it, can you guess what it is?

Examples : My number is the number that comes between 21 and 23. 

My number is the number that comes just before 31.

My number is the number that is 2 more than 18.

Other activities

This site has many ideas to do outside:

https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2020/03/kids-nature-activities-self-isolation/

• Some groups enjoyed making pictures from natural materials as part of our LOL Fridays. This activity is mentioned on the site and is something you might like to do ( activity 4).
• Activity 2 gives instructions on how to make a bird feeder.
• If you collected some leaves for yesterday’s art activity, you might like to try and identify the trees the leaves came from.http://www.treetoolsforschools.org.uk/activities/pdfs/pdf_leaf_spotter_sheet.pdf
• Here’s a similar one to identify where sticks come from:

Good morning everyone!

A new week and a new month!

Literacy

This activity helps you practise your writing and your listening and remembering:

Make a list: Remember a list does not need capital letters and full stops. Each word is written under the last. It might be list of things you can see, your favourite toys/games/animals, etc, or maybe even help write a shopping list! Write each word using your sounds chart to help with the spelling.

Read it out loud ( or ask a grown up to do this for you) a number of times. Repeat out loud what is on your list.

How well did you do? How many things did you remember?

How many times did you need to listen to the words ?

Numeracy

Circles and Triangles

Write numbers 1-20 or 20-40 on separate pieces of paper.

Put in a pile face down, adult calls a number, within the range of numbers.  Child turns over first number. If the numbers match,  child keeps the card. Take turns.

This game can also be played at a harder level. This time, is your number 1 smaller or 1 bigger than the number called?

Squares

Play this game , but you need to make a sum for each number , in order to win the card!

Other activities

Leaf rainbow prints       

Here’s an idea I saw online and tried out, it’s great fun!

Take a leaf and on the underside (not the shiny side,) colour between the veins with rainbow coloured felt pens.

Now, turn the leaf over and press down on a piece of paper, rubbing all over the leaf.(It is probably easiest to hold the stalk as you do this)

Take the leaf away , and………

you should have a lovely rainbow leaf!

Why not experiment with different shaped leaves?

Good morning everyone! Hope all are well and you get some opportunity to enjoy some of this lovely sunshine!
