Literacy
• This week I would like you to revise the sh, ch, and th sounds that we have been learning recently. Can you find objects in your house that have these sounds in them e.g shirt, shoe, chain, thread etc. Ask an adult to help you sort them into groups of the same sounds.
• Use the objects you have found and play ‘Kims game’. 1.Lay out the objects and remember what they are 2. Get a cover and place over the objects 3. Ask an adult to remove one of the objects 4. Can you guess what one is missing and say the sound for that object
• 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. You could ask someone to write the ones you know onto one of the game boards, play the game and read the words. 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 Yellow

• Here is a song you can listen to that has many of the keywords in it.

• Have you been helping more in your house since lockdown? This is a good time to practise lifeskills. This week I would like you to help make lunch one day. This could be making a sandwich, heating up soup or making toast. Once you have finished discuss what you did, what equipment you used and the ingredients. Ask an adult to help you with the writing task in the link below where you will write the instructions. Please do not feel you have to print this off as it can be copied on to paper.
* If you make or bake anything else then please feel free to write it up for extra practice

Fun for all
• Collect sticks when you are next on your walk and try to make a stick house with them. You might also need some string or wool to help hold your model together.
• Use the blank board game to design your own game for everyone to play. Maybe you could set challenges as they land on each square e.g. 10 jumping jacks, say a compliment to someone, do a handstand, say the alphabet backwards?
• I hope you enjoyed practising your drawing skills last week! Here is another link you could try again this week.

SLC 1 Home Learning 1st June
Hi everyone.
We hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine. We have enjoyed being able to spend time out in the garden and going for long walks. We would encourage you to be having lots of fun outside this week but remember to stay safe in the sun. Make sure you are wearing suncream and a hat if you have one. Have a nice week.
MS McMillan and Miss Stobbs.

Hello Everyone,
I hope you’re enjoying the new layout of your home learning tasks and are finding it easy to follow and manageable. I hope you made the most of the beautiful weather and continue to do so for as long as it stays! Lots of outdoor play and learning is great! I’m still missing you a lot – I can’t wait till we all see each other again!
Stay safe and well,
Miss Stafford

Here’s some more ideas for June:
Miss Lee’s SLC Group 1.6.20
Good morning everyone, how amazing is this weather?!? And it’s the first day of June. Summer is definitely here. I hope you have been able to go outside and enjoy playing in it. I have a few activities for you to try this week. Some of them will have you out in the sunshine and others are something you can do inside if you need a rest from the heat.
Literacy
Bug Club – Everyone has some books assigned to them and I have been having a wee look to see how you are all getting on with your reading. Don’t forget to do the quizzes.
Spelling Challenge – In the packs that you got delivered there is a “Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check” sheet for spelling. Put this into your overwriting pocket and use it to practice these common words that have the ‘ch’ sound in them.
- chip
- chin
- chair
- church
- chick
- arch
Writing – “What I like about sunshine”
This week with all this beautiful weather you could try to write a few sentences about what you like when the sun is shining. I will give you some questions that you could answer to help you with this.
- What do you like to play outside in the sunshine?
- When the sun is shining my favourite food or treat is?
- When the sun is shining and I am outside I can see?
- When I play outside in the sunshine I can smell?
Numeracy
The Story of 12 – Can you practice writing out all of the different adding sums using different numbers that add up to make a total of 12. You could even set yourself the challenge of timing yourself and seeing if you can quicker at doing it as the week goes on.
Addition Practice – Use your white board and number line from your home learning pack to try these sums. You should all be able to manage them.
| 33 + 11 = | 16 + 22 = | 44 + 35 = | 27 + 12 = |
| 51 + 24 = | 25 + 32 = | 60 + 11 = | 10 + 10 = |
| 17 + 31 = | 72 + 8 = | 32 +14 = | 21 + 9 = |
Outdoor Maths Challenge – I have two different challenges that you can try if you go out for a walk.
- Use a bag to collect 10 different items while you are out for a walk. These could be leaves, flowers, grasses, pine cones etc. When you get home see if you can make different shapes using them or even if you can make a picture.
- On one of your walks try to find the following items. You could write them down on a piece of paper or your whiteboard and tick them off as you find them.
- 2 different trees
- 5 plant pots
- 4 different kinds of minibeasts (ladybirds, bees, slugs, snails, spiders….)
- 2 sets of traffic lights
- 8 leaves
- 1 mum with a buggy
Online
There’s plenty of number and shape activities you could try in Sumdog and Topmarks.
Outdoor Learning
In the second home learning pack that you got there are some John Muir Challenge cards. Pick one of the cards and have a go at completing it. There are some great ideas for activities in them.
Something Else To Try
This weeks recipe is for Cheese Scones. It’s really easy and a tasty snack or lunch for everyone. Hope you have fun making them.
Cheese Scones
You will need:- 230g Self Raising Flour
Pinch of salt
40g butter
60g grated cheese
1 egg
100ml of milk
- Heat the oven to 220C.
- Put the flour and salt into a bowl.
- Cut the butter into small chunks and rub together with the flour to make a crumby mixture.
- Put some milk and the egg into the mixture and mix all the ingredients to make a dough.
- Roll out the dough and cut it into circles using a cutter.
- Put the scones onto a baking tray.
- Cook in the oven for 10minutes or until they are golden brown.
- Let them cool on a wire rack.
Have a good week and make sure you get outside to enjoy this lovely weather. Take care and I will be phoning to find out how you all are. Miss Lee x
