Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a lovely Easter holiday and managed to get outside some of the time to enjoy the sunshine.  I know some of you will have enjoyed going long walks with your family and if you are lucky to have a garden managed to get out to play.

I am just keeping in touch with you all and hope you are all well.  I will post new home learning activities every Monday for you to do if you can.  Here are some activities you could try this week to help with your learning.  You can still use some of the work in your packs as well.

Stay safe everyone.

Literacy

P2 and P3 Look at your Active Literacy sounds sheet in your pack and practise the new words for the ‘au’ sound.  Practise writing the words for that sound in your laminated Elkonin Boxes in your pack and write sentences using some of these words.  You could also try and make up words of your own with the sound.

Bug Club – Log on to Bug Club and read 2 of your books.

Writing

Write a Book Review using the style I have attached below about one of your reading books or if you don’t have access to a printer write a short personal story about what you did over the Easter holidays.  Remember you can draw pictures about your writing.

Numeracy

P2 and P3 – Practise writing out your 2, 5 and 10 times tables and if you feel confident enough your 3 and 4 times tables.

Practise adding and subtracting using your laminated boards either using dice to make up sums or ask a family member to make sums for you to try.

Log on to Topmarks if you can and practise your times tables and number bonds playing Hit the Button Game.  Here is the link:- https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Stem

Our new topic is all about Plants.  If you can ask an adult to help you and if you have the resources available I thought you could plant seeds in a pot and watch them grow while you are at home.  You will need:-  seeds (sunflower, cress, beans or any you can get), soil, plant pot and water.

or if you don’t have the resources you could

Try making a toy parachute either on your own or with an adult.  You could find resources around the house for this i.e. plastic carrier bag or bin liner, thread, wool or string and a heavy object for the bottom.  This could be a thread reel, a toy soldier or anything with weight.  Plasticine could also be used.  If you don’t have the resources this is fine.  Once you have made your parachute try flying it outside.

Music
