Good morning boys and girls. Hope you are all well. Sending you a smile this morning and one of our songs we like to start the morning with :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08NlhjpVFsU

And please don’t forget there’s a chance for  a daily work out:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ

The previous day’s workouts are available too.

So, here are some ideas for today to add to any in your learning pack. ( you may do any of these activities when you want to and daily additional suggestions are put on the blog)

Remember to contact me via the blog – just add comment , or via glow ( details given yesterday and on the pack), if you are unsure about anything, or want to share any learning you have done at home.

Numeracy

Hope you managed to make a picture from household items or natural materials. Did you work out the value of the house picture? 

It was 34:

4 x 5 =20,

2×2 =4

+ 10

Squares and triangles might like to try a number challenge.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/audio-maths-rainbow-quiz/zhdvpg8

It involves listening to a set of number questions and giving answers. An adult might like to record your answers for you. You are able to progress through different sets of questions each colour coded. Can anyone manage to get through all the colours? Please let me know how you get on , I know many of you love a challenge!

Try cloud rating 1. Some children in the squares group might like to try cloud rating 2.

Circles

Please try one of the subtraction sheets in your home learning pack today if you have not done so already.

You might like this subtraction game too:

( you may need to enable flash to ensure it works)

Just pop the correct number of balloons.

Circles and triangles

https://www.abcya.com/games/one_hundred_number_chart_game

This game involves putting numbers back into the correct place on the 100 square. Use the 100 square in your pack to help you.

Alternatively, ask an adult to cover a number, can you tell them which number is missing.

Work hard P2 and please be kind to those at home with you.

Sounds chart

In your pack you will have a sounds chart. This is the landscape version for green, pink and  new yellow group, with the complex sounds chart ( portrait format) for the established yellow and grey groups. Read the sounds to a grown up. ( Use your pencil/spoon/straw as a pointing stick)

Sounds

You should have a set of speed sounds in your pack.

• Select a sound from this booklet each day.
• Read each word to a grown up.
• “Fred” ( sound out) each word using your “Fred” fingers.
• Ask a grown up to read each word from the sheet you have selected and write each word in your jotter.
• Check you got the spelling right.

Here’s a link to the sounds : set 2:

and set 3:

Red words

In your pack you should find a red word list.

Red words are words that we cannot sound out.

Green group use red words set 1, pink and new yellow use red words set 1 and 2, established yellow and grey use set 1, 2 and the first 3 lines of set 3.

Ask a grown up to read each word to you. Read them back to the grown up. At school we read these in horizontal lines , then vertically the choose words randomly pointing under each word with a lollipop stick ( you could use the end of a pencil).

Select a few words and tell the grown up why it is a red word ( why the letter sounds do not make sense, they are misbehaving)

For example “all” is  a red word because the “a” says “o” ! In brother the “o” sounds like an “u”.

Now ask the grown up to choose 5 words you have looked at , say each one aloud to you and write them in your jotter.

Did you get them right??

THANK YOU GROWN UPS FOR ALL YOUR HELP.

Literacy – Reading challenge

I hope you have had a chance to enjoy a book from Oxford Owl https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/?view=image&query=&type=book&age_group=Age+5-6&level=&level_select=&book_type=&series=#

Login as detailed on Monday , at class login ( given on front of your pack.)

Perhaps you are enjoying the book from your home learning pack/

At school we have a CLASS READING CHALLENGE. You might want to do this at home. Select an activity:

•  Read the book
• Tell the story to a cuddly toy ( or family member) by working out what happens through the pictures.
• Find a number of words you recognise and read them aloud.

You might also like to write a review of the book in your jotter.

Remember all the things you need for a good piece of writing ( listed in your pack) :  capital letters ( you practised these yesterday), full stops or other punctuation ( yellow and grey groups), finger spaces, letters formed well so we can read them easily, writing on the line, words in the correct order and super spelling. You have your sounds chart to help you and a red words sheet in your pack.

You might want to start with My book is called ……….

It is a good book because………..

Come on P2 show the grown ups at home what super writers you are!!

Good morning everyone!

Sending everyone a smile today and hoping the sun shines. Here’s the song we sometimes listen to first thing in the morning:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUNqsfFUwhY

I am wondering how everyone is getting on with learning from home. Please add a comment on the blog if you want to share your new learning experiences or message me directly on glow. You have a glow login on the front of your home learning package and can send me a message, login, find mail and message me at  ddataylor425@glow.sch.uk. We didn’t have a chance to try this out before the schools closed, so you will need to try this with a grown up.

Learning for today

Numeracy

Please play a game  or complete a sheet from your pack.

Alternatively if you are outside today you might be able to collect some natural materials to make a picture and then work out its value. Some of us managed to do this last week in school.

Each stone is worth 10, each twig, 5 and each leaf 2.

Mrs Taylor collected these items yesterday. The value of my picture is 10 + 5 +  2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 23.

I did this calculation by working out 4 x 2  = 8 and adding that to the 10 and 5.

I am sure you will be able to create some amazing pictures , (and practise your numeracy skills at the same time)

If you are unable to get out today , how about using 3 different items from the home , giving them a value , make a picture with them and then working out the value of your picture.

Try to calculate the value of this picture:

Answers later on today…………

The following site is offering free membership whilst the schools are off, but it seems to be really busy and I haven’t been able to get on the site myself to try out the games to tell you about them.

Happy star jumping !!

Literacy

You might like to practise capital letters and full stops today.

I know you are all amazing at using these P2, but here’s a little bit of practise:

Here’s a couple of games designed to help with matching capital letters to lower case ones. Most suitable for red/green /pink groups:

https://www.turtlediary.com/game/matching-upper-and-lowercase-letters.html

https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/rabbits/index.html

For the pink group:

Pink, yellow and grey groups try this;

You may need to enable flash on computer/device to let them play.

Good morning everyone!

Hope everyone managed to spend some time yesterday doing some learning at home, and lots of smiles.

Today’s ideas to supplement your home learning pack:

PE

We will all be spending more time than normal indoors, so this link  might be a good way of keeping fit whilst having fun!https://www.youtube.com/thebodycoachtv

Joe Wickes is giving a live PE lesson each day at 9am , which can also be watched later on you tube.

Numeracy

Squares and Triangles might enjoy these keep fit songs to practise their times tables:

2 times tables

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-the-2-times-table-with-bridget-the-lioness/zrrx92p

10 times tables

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-the-10-times-table-with-webster-the-spider/zm32cqt

Have you played the times tables dominoes games from your pack? Hope you won!!

Circles group might like to practise their taking away.

Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYlgSr8nhJo

Draw 10 football players in your jotter. Cover different numbers each time and ask a grown up to write the sum fro you to answer:

10 football players, cover 2, write 10-2=, you write the answer 8, etc.

If you have room you may be able to do the pretend keepy uppy game at the end of the clip.

I will give ideas for literacy later.

Circles group, here’s a game for you to help with taking away.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/subtraction-grids

Have fun!!

Top Mark’s- hot the button is the game to play to help you practise your times tables at speed. Challenge someone at home!https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Triangles, select times tables, then  the 2 or 10 times .

Squares , select times tables, then the 2, 5 or 10 times.

Enjoy!!

Good morning.

This is all very new for us all. I hope you have managed to have a chat with a grown up at home about when would be a good time to do some learning at home and when might be a good time to play .

It would be good to choose a selection of learning, maybe a little numeracy followed by some reading and writing. If the sun is shining maybe try some of the activities we made up with a ball the other day in the playground ( and how a scrumpled piece of paper works for some games if you can’t find a ball). If it’s cold later how about some dancing to keep you active? Maybe you could try some new dance moves😀

There are a huge number of books available to read online at Oxford owl.

Log in under class login , details on front of your folder.

Roughly speaking the age 5-6 books are probably suited for our pink group, whilst the 6-7 books would probably suit the yellow group. The grey group might like the next group up.

Each book can be read by you, simply press turn to turn the page. There is a read aloud option too, if you want help or fancy listening to a story. Each book also has 2 activities for you to enjoy.

Have fun, happy reading!!

Remember, you are more than welcome to add a comment to tell us about your learning, or a question which I will try to answer a soon as possible.

Today the squares group chose which times table they needed to solve a problem.
