Happy Monday everyone, I hope you are all doing OK. It was great speaking to you last week and finding out how you all are. You really cheered me up, thank you 😊 Here are this weeks ideas for a few activities that you could try if you have time or want to.

Literacy

Bug Club – Go in and have a read of one of your books. Don’t forget to do the quiz.

Writing –  Write a letter to a friend

Do you have a friend that lives near by that you aren’t able to see at the moment? Why don’t you write them a short letter telling them what you have been doing. It only needs to be a 2/3 sentences long with a picture. Once you have written it you could deliver it when you go for a walk. This could really make your friends day.

Talking and Listening – Play a game of “Eye Spy” with your family to practice your sounds, and hopefully have some fun too.

 

Numeracy

Money Challenge – If you are able to can you find one of each type of coin from 1p to £2.00. Try to put them in order from the smallest to the biggest. Then use them to make different amounts if you can. If this is difficult follow this link to money activities on Topmarks that you can try.

The Story of 10 – Can you practice writing out all of the different adding sums using different numbers that add up to make a total of 10. You could even set yourself the challenge of timing yourself and seeing if you can quicker at doing it as the week goes on.

Online

Don’t forget you have Sumdog that you can log into to use for maths games.

 

Something Else To Try

Here is the recipe for Banana Muffins which I made in school with the Wellbeing Group one day. The pupils really enjoyed making them. Make sure you get an adult to help with putting them into the oven and taking them back out as they will be really hot.

Banana Muffins

You will need:

225g Self Raising Flour

100g butter

75g Caster sugar

2 bananas

2 eggs

½ tsp cinnamon

2 tbspn cleaer honey

 

1. Rub the flour and butter between your fingers to make a mixture that looks like breadcrumbs.
2. Add the sugar, eggs, cinnamon and honey to the mixture and mix in.
3. Put the bananas in a bowl and mash them with a fork.
4. Add the bananas to the flour mixture and mix well.
5. Put equal amounts of the batter mixture into muffin cases.
6. Put the muffins into the oven at 180C for half an hour.
7. When they are ready let the muffins cool completely on a cooling rack.

 

Hope you all have a good week.

Hello everyone,

I hope you managed to enjoy your bank holiday weekend and made the most of the sunny and dry weather 😊.  It was so lovely to get to speak to lots of your adults last week and even getting to speak to some of you!  I’ll be in touch again with everyone to check in again in a couple of weeks time.  Remember to just do whatever you can and don’t put too much pressure on yourselves, you’re all doing the best that you can!

Literacy

Sounds:

P1: Your new sound this week is: ue.

Ask an adult to help you come up with as many “ue” words as you can.  Watch this video and try your best to sound out each sound and blend the word together.

Ask an adult to help you write down 3 words from the video.  Practice these words by:

• Air writing with your finger
• Rainbow Writing
• Writing one sentence (an adult should help with this)

P2: We are looking at o_e this week.  It’s the same idea as our magic e sound that we looked at last week.  Have a look at Geraldine exploring this sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vDms5bRsvq4

Go on a hunt around your house and ask an adult to help you!

Use your spelling activity grid to practice all o_e words in your spelling booklet.

Write 5 sentences using your o_e words. These can spread out over each day.

Reading:

Remember to log into bug club! You should have a new book this week.  We are focussing on completing just one book each week, this should give you the chance to really focus on this book and ensure that you are  really understanding what you are reading.

Writing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rudDGRQ9QGA  Have a watch of this video reading a lovely book about the zoo.

Try to write something about your favourite zoo animal in the book, or in general! You could research this animal and create a fact file.  Ask an adult to help you.

Numeracy

Sumdog

Remember to log onto Sumdog.  You have a new set of challenges for the week to complete.  I can see some of you working really hard each week on it – well done you! You should have your log in details in your pack.

 

P1: Collect ten things from your garden, kitchen, lounge – anywhere!  Split them into different piles (You could use 2 bowls, cups etc, whatever works).  Count how many are in each of the two piles.  The total will always be ten, but explore the different ways we can make up ten.  5 + 5, or 4 + 6 etc.  An adult will need to help you with this.

 

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

This website is great for practicing this, click on the “make ten” button.

 

P2: Keep working on your adding tens and units.  I have some more questions for you to try this week using the same method as last week:

52 + 17 =

31 + 46 =

56 + 11 =

63 + 26 =

41 + 27 =

81 + 15 =

90 + 5 =

24 + 51 =

15 + 14 =

71 + 24 =

 

Other Curricular areas:

Art:

Here’s a challenge for the month of May to complete as many art tasks as you can.  This will hopefully give you lots of ideas 😊.

 

Music:

Remember to look at Mrs Hill’s music grid for some music ideas to complete at home:

Remember you are doing enough!  Do what you can when suits you.  Remember to keep safe and happy, I miss you all.

Good morning!

The sun is shining again as we enter another week of lockdown.  Hope you all had a nice weekend, I will catch up with you all later this week when I phone.  It is so nice to keep in touch and hear everything you have all been doing.  Here are some activities you could try this week :-

Tasks for Week Beginning 11 / 5 / 20
Literacy	Numeracy / Maths	All my other learning
Word Wall – Your key words this week are that, then, this, there    Practise spelling these daily.  Use the paper from your pack.  I would like you to try:-Flower writing – draw a flower with your word in the middle.  In each petal write a letter from your word.   Hand clap chant – work with an adult or older sibling.  Choose a word and spell it using a hand clap pattern.   Upper and Lower – Write each word out twice, once in lower case and another in capital letters   Rainbow words – Write your words out in pencil.  Next draw around each letter 5 more times using a different coloured pencil.   Phonics / Writing – cr / cl words. Look at the sheet below.  Don’t worry if you don’t have a printer, use the paper you have to rewrite 2 lists a red list for ‘cr’ words and a green list for ‘cl’words.  Try to write a sentence for 5 red words and then 5 green words.    Reading – Remember the reading bingo challenge I set last week?  Keep going until all the boxes are filled. Aim for completing at least one book on Bug Club! Using a story you have read, or listened to, create a comic strip like the example provided.  Think about the main events from the story, concentrating on the beginning, middle and end.	Place Value – roll the die game, for an extra challenge copy the rules but try out 3 digit numbers (hundreds, tens and units) Calculations – try to complete these subtraction sums.  If you don’t have a printer, copy them out onto your paper.  Once you have finished, try them again as adding sums.   Money Challenge –   Problem Solving – again don’t worry about having to print this sheet, draw out your own flags on blank paper.	As part of our transport topic I would like you to try to make a boat.  Gather objects / items from in and around your house.  Fill the bath or take a basin / bucket out to the garden if the weather is nice.  Test each item to make sure it floats. Can you use these floating objects to create your boat.  I would love to see photos! Remember the photo challenge I set last week, keep filling the boxes!  Day 4 was an animal, here’s my animal.  Pixie with the baby goats! To make your daily walks more fun I found the challenge below.  Get the adults and your siblings involved too.  Make it into a race, who can spot the objects first? Stay active!  Heres a challenge … make it a family competition.  Practise every day to get better.
