Hi,
Hello everyone I hope you are all safe and well and been managing to keep yourself busy. I miss you all but it has been lovely catching up over the phone and you have all been keeping busy!! Here are some suggestions for this week.

Literacy 📝
- How did you get on with the ‘sh’ sound last week? This week I would like you to add the sound ‘ch’ to the beginning of these middle sounds and see what new words you can make. You could draw a picture of some of the words you make. Here are a few examples to get you started; chop, chip, chin.

- Keep practising the green words in the list below. Can you continue to practise reading and writing these words when you can? You can use lots of different materials to help you spell (you don’t always need paper and a pencil!!). Try chalk, paint, playdough, stones, beads etc. I have added 2 new yellow words but these are only for those of you who feel confident reading and spelling the green words.

- Click on the link below and it will take you to BBC Bitesize where there are lots of interesting activities you can do for different subjects areas. The activity I would like you to do is based on different types of stories. Follow the instructions in the online lesson and watch the short videos. Complete activity 1 and 2 and if you want to challenge yourself then have a go at activity 3 too.

- Remember to log in to Bug Club a few times each week. I can check how many books you are reading and I can give you more books if needed.
Numeracy 🔢
Group 1
- Last week you were working on number bonds and the story of 10. I have attached a link to BBC Bitesize that will give you more practise. Only complete activity 1 and 2 for now. In activity 2 there is a link to a worksheet but please do not print this out. Try and complete questions 1 and 2 and you could do this by using counters, beads or other small objects.

This week you could try writing the number that comes before 2 digit numbers e.g
36 _ 54 _ 69 31
Group 2
- Write out the 7 and 9 times table. You could get an adult to ask you multiplication questions and see how many you get correct in 1 minute.
- Play these times table games

- Remember to log on to Sumdog where you can play lots of maths games.
- Click on the link below and complete the missing number sums. You don’t need to print this, just copy the sums on to paper or your laminated card. Can you ask someone to write out and give you more sums like this to practice?

- I have attached a May calendar of numeracy and maths activities you can try each day. Give most of them a go!! There will be some days that are too tricky but please do not worry about that (maybe a grown up could answer these ones for you!!) I think you will be surprised with how many you get correct!!
1st Level May Calendar
Maths for all 💰
Money (give this activity a go if you have spare coins in your house, if not then there will be a chance to do money tasks in later weeks)
Group 1 – use coins to 20p
- Split the coins into groups e.g all the 1p’s together, 2p’s together etc
- Sort the coins from smallest value to largest
- Make amounts within 10p using the coins
- Can you find different ways to make 10p? Try this with different amounts.
- Get an adult to give you coins and count how much you have (do this within 10p)
Group 2 – coins and notes to £5 if possible
- Sort the coins and notes from smallest to largest amount
- Make amounts within £5 and try and use the least amount of coins and notes possible
- Can you play at shops? Find toys or things in your house and give them a price. Keep the prices within £2 and add 2 of them together.
- Can you give change? Start by buying something that is less than £1 and give change from £1. If this is too easy then use a larger amount to pay with.
Both groups
- Play the money games in the link below

Fun for all 🧱 ⚽
- If you have managed to collect junk over the past few weeks then try to use it to make small models of your town. You could make a house, shop, doctor surgery etc. Keep a hold of your models for the coming weeks.
- Are you keeping active? I would like you to practise your throwing and catching skills. Ask someone in your house to help and count how many times you can throw and catch the ball between you. If someone drops the ball then they have to do 10 jumping jacks.
