Hello everyone,

Hope everyone in your family are well and managing to put your time in.  It is important to spend time outside every day even if it is just playing in your garden.

I am just checking in with everyone and giving you some ideas for activities for your home learning for this week.  Remember just do what you can, these are only suggestions.

Take care everyone and stay safe.  I will be in touch again next Monday.

Literacy

P2 and P3 – Look at your Active Literacy sounds sheet and practise the new words for the ‘ou’ sound.  Practise writing the words for that sound in your laminated Boxes in your pack.  Challenge yourself to write some of your own words using the sound.  Write 3 sentences using one of your words in each sentence.

Bug Club – Reading

Log on to Bug Club and read 2 of your books.  Ask an adult to help you with the tricky words.  See how many ‘ou’ words you can find in your reading book and write them down.  Well done to everyone who has been reading their books.

Writing

This week for our writing we are going to be writing about a Missing/Lost Pet.  First you have to put the name of your pet and what type of pet it is then you have to write some sentences using capital letters and full stops about why your pet has become missing.  P3’s can try using different connectives in your writing and some adjectives.  When you have completed this you can draw a picture in the box of your pet.  This is an imaginative piece of writing therefore if you don’t have a pet this is your chance to make one up. You could use the link below or just write it on a piece of paper.

Numeracy

P3’s this week could practise division on Topmarks site Hit the Button, remember you have been dividing by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 in class.  After this you an complete a colour division activity.  It is colour by 2, 5 and 10 division.  I have put the link below if you can’t access the link write out some division sums on paper dividing by 2, 5 and 10.

Colour by 2s, 5s and 10s division

P2’s this week can practise number bonds on Topmarks site Hit the Button then complete some of the Number Bonds Challenge Sheets.  If you click on the link below you will be able to print them.  If you don’t have a printer don’t worry you can practise writing number bonds to 20 on paper.

P2 and P3 – Continue logging on to Sum Dog and playing games.

P2 and P3 – We are going to be revisiting symmetry this week.  A nice activity for you is ‘Draw the Other Half Symmetry’.  Here are some examples for what you can do.  After you have drawn it you can colour it in.

Stem – Your Stem activity for this week is How to Make a Bird Feeder from a plastic bottle.  This is a nice activity to make with an adult because they will need to help you with the scissors part.  When you have made it you can hang it in your garden and watch all the different birds come to enjoy the food.  I have copied the link below for the Natural History Museum which shows a short video clip on how to make it.

Art – I have copied an Outdoor Art Grid for you to choose and try some of the activities if you want outside.  This could be done over a few weeks.Outdoor Art Grid

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.

• Numbers to 100

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

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/5-7-years/money

 

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.
