Hi,
Hello everyone and I hope you are all well. I hope the weather improves again so we can all get out in the sunshine. Remember to do what you can and don’t feel any pressure to complete these activities if you are still working on the previous weeks.

Literacy
- This week I would like you to look at the ‘ss’ sound. Keep the words that you make to 4 letter words without making them too tricky for the moment. Here are some suggestions; mess, loss, boss, kiss. How many can you make? If you kept the letter cards you made weeks ago then add an extra ‘s’ card and use these to make the words.
- Remember to use the blank board games to practise your words. These are good to use for reading the words you have made.

- How are you getting on with the green and yellow words? Remember I only give new words each week for those that need them. Just keep working on the ones you are comfortable with, there is no need to learn them all!! 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 words |
| and, a, he, I, in, of, is, it, that, the, to, was | all, for, his, as, have, be, not, can, new |
- Here is a song you can listen to that has many of the keywords in it.

- Click on the link below where you will be taken to the BBC Bitesize site. This week we will look at capital letters and fullstops. Remember a capital letter comes at the start of a sentence and a full stop is at the end. Try the games and have a go at activity 3. Can you draw a picture of a pirate using some of the words you used to describe a pirate?

- Now you are a whizz at sentence writing can you try to unscramble the words on page 1 of the following link. Ask an adult to write the words on to pieces of paper so you can move them around to help you make the sentence.
- 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
- Can you keep practising counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s? I have added links to songs we enjoy listening to in the class. Use the blank number line too and write the numbers on it as you count up in steps.

- This week is Bike week. If you have a bike then take it with you every time your family go on their walk. Remember we were reading the story ‘Flying Fergus’ by Chris Hoy before lockdown? I have attached a link to a website where you can listen to a short part of the story. You could try and design your own super bike just like the one Fergus had in the story? I wonder what magical and clever things your bike could do?

- Here is another link to a drawing activity. This time you will learn to draw an ice cream. When you have finished the drawing part you could add your own design to make your ice cream cone look really delicious.
