Another new week folks!
Hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sunshine. Here are the suggested activities for this week. Do what you can, when you can.
| Tasks for Week Beginning 4 / 5 / 20 | ||
| Literacy | Numeracy / Maths | All my other learning |
| Word Wall – Your key words this week are : are, they, what, when Look, cover, write and check these words regularly throughout the week. You can use pencil and paper, pens, chalk or rainbow writing. At the end of the week ask an adult or older sibling to test you with these sentences : They can skip ten jumps. When will you be back? Are you ok? What do you need?
Alphabet Challenge – ask an adult or older sibling to make letter cards. You could use paper / card / post it notes. Put one letter on each page. Can you put them in order from ‘a to z’? If an adult removes one can you tell which letter is missing? Get an adult to choose any random 3 or 4 letters, can you put these in alphabetical order? Phonics – Spelling words this week: clap, clog, clam, club, clip, clasp. Practise spelling each of these throughout the week. You can use paint, chalk, shaving foam, pens, rainbow writing, pyramid writing, pencils, stampers, cut letters out of a newspaper / magazine. You could also use the alphabet cards made for the above task. Writing – Stories happen in different places. For example, a castle, school, beach or park. Some stories are real and some are made up. Draw something from your imagination that is not real, like a dragon, magic shoes or a potion. Write 5 sentences about your picture to tell me more. Remember WOW words to describe it. Reading – As it is the start of a new month, I am setting a bingo challenge. How many of these stories can you read?

Multiplication game – Pick 6 numbers from the 2, 5 or 10 times table. Write them on a piece of paper / card / post-it note and do not show the other players. Your opponent(s) should do the same.

Our topic is Transport. Can you make a paper aeroplane? Remember to decorate it. Does it fly?
This Friday, 8th May, is a bank holiday. This is to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day. This stands for Victory in Europe – the day the Second World War ended in Europe. Watch and listen to Churchill’s speech from 8th May 1945 on Youtube. Help celebrate at home by doing some of these activities …· * Colour a picture and display it in your window. Might be a poppy or British flag. Maybe you want to draw your own picture. * Create a medal for bravery. * At 3pm there will be a special ‘toast’ to the nation’s heroes of World War II. Raise your glass of juice or mug of tea and say “To those who gave so much, we thank you!” * At 9pm the queen will address the nation – the same time as her father announced victory in Europe 75 years ago. * Also at 9pm, or shortly afterwards, there is a plan to get everyone to sing along to the well loved World War II song ‘We’ll Meet Again’. Practise the words this week so you can join in too. Miss Robertson has been out and about on her bike last week as part of her exercise. Hopefully you have been keeping fit too! I am setting a challenge for the month. Whilst out and about on your daily walks, keep your eyes peeled!
