Bareshare ECC Newsletter 4

Hi,

Wow, I can’t believe this is now our second last week of home schooling!! You have all done amazingly well and I am so proud of each and everyone of you for working so hard!! Here are some new activities that you can try this week.

Literacy

• This week I would like you to look at the ‘ff’ sound. Keep the words that you make to 4 letter words without making them too tricky for the moment. Here are some suggestions; buff, cuff, tiff, off. How many can you make? If you kept the letter cards you made weeks ago then add an extra ‘f’ 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!

• 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

 

• I have added 2 links to activities from BBC bitesize that practise the work you have been doing on counitng in 2’s and 5’s.
• Use your blank numberline and square grid to copy the work from the worksheets on to so you can complete the work.
• Please do not print any of the sheets.
• Do what you can with the work on these links and do not panic if you find any of it tricky.
• Try using objects in your house to count in 2’s e.g pairs of socks, shoes etc

Fun for all

It is such a shame that we have not been able to do Sports Day this year but I thought you might like to plan and have your own Sports Day at home with the people in your house. Get them all involved and have some fun!! Here are some activities you can try with your family.

• Many large sports events have their own mascot. I would like you to design your own mascot. Here are some pictures to help.

 

• Everyone likes to win a medal when they do well at a competition. Can you design your own medal or even make one to present to the winner in your house?

 

• What about designing and making a poster to advertise your Sports Day? You could add information like:
• Day and time
• Where it’s held
• Sports that will be played
• Prizes that will be won

• Here are some ideas you could use during your Sports Day

• When I speak to you next week you can let me know how your Sports Day went. Have fun!!
