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.

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

Using capital letters and full stops

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

Click to play the 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.

Numeracy

Squares and Triangles

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

The 10 times table

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.Dry-Wipe 100-Square Board - Teacher's Display - HE1816991 | Hope ...

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

Primary 2 – Home Learning – Monday 1st June

Good morning everyone!

Top 22+ Minion Quotes For Kids | Quotes for kids, Minions, Minion ...

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?
