Hi,
What another lovely week of weather although it has been a little colder when I have been out on my walk! I hope everyone is well and well done to all of you on completing your jobs!! Please use the materials in your new pack to complete some of these activities and remember to put the sheets in the clear envelope when writing on top so you can reuse them.

Please remember that you can still work on the previous weeks activities and only move on to this weeks if you feel you are ready to do so

• This week I would like you to add the sound ‘th’ to the beginning of these middle sounds and see what new words you can make. You could use the blank game board in your pack to write the words on, play the game and read the word as you land on each box. Here are a few examples to get you started; thin, the, that, ,than.

 

• 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 another 2 yellow words but please do not feel you have to read and write all of these, just do what you can!

Green words
a, in, that, and, of,  the, he, is, to, I, it, was

Yellow words

all, as, be, can

• When we went on our walk this week we found a very creepy tunnel with a shallow river running through it.

I would like you to use your imagination and write a short story about the tunnel.
Here are some ideas for you to think about:
*What does it look like inside?
*Is there a funny smell?
*What can you hear?
*Where does the tunnel take you to?
*What do you see when you come out the other side?

• 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

• Use your blank game board to practise the story of 10 that you have been practising. Ask an adult to write missing number sums in each of the blank squares
e.g. 1+ _ =10, +8=10, 5+=10 when you land on a square then say the number that is missing in the sum.

• These are some of our favourite counting songs. Have a listen and sing along.

Fun for all

• We have all been amazed by Colonel Tom’s achievement of walking 100 laps of his garden whilst raising loads of money for charity. Can you set yourself a challenge by completing 100 of something? You could try; 100 skips, 100 jumping jacks or even 100 runs around your own garden.
