Hello there!

I hope everyone is safe and well and you are all enjoying the beautiful weather. 🌞

Again, this week I have listed some suggestions of activities you can do with your family but these are not essential as you should still have plenty of activities you can complete in your pack. Please remember that learning lifeskills, playing games and getting outside are all valuable learning activities.

Literacy 📝

• Last week you made alphabet cards. This week I would like you to make another set but write the capital letters. Use the cards and lay them out in the correct order. Ask an adult to hide the cards around a room and find the matching small and capital letters.
• Can you practise writing the capital letters outside? Maybe you could use an old paint brush and water and write them on the path or wall?
• Use the letter cards and make small words with the middle sound -i-, -o-,-u-. Eg. sit, nip, hot, cop, nut, bun. You could pick some of your words and draw pictures to match.
• Go on a scavenger hunt around your house finding something that starts with each letter sound. We did this in our house and it was great fun. The letter ‘z’ was a tricky one!!
• Please keep using Bug Club and read and enjoy listening to stories that people in your house can read to you.

 

Numeracy 🧮

Group 1

• Continue to practise reading and writing numbers to 100. Ask an adult to say a number to 100 and you can write the number that comes before and after the number.
• Play this game

• Write out all the double addition sums you can make up to 10+10. Use stones, beads, pasta etc to lay out the sums so you can count the answer. How many of these sums can you learn the answer to without counting out objects? Ask an adult to test you!!

Group 2

• Write out the 4 and 8 times table. Can you play bingo using the answers to these tables as you did last week?
• Continue to practise counting in 2’s and 5’s.
• Play some of these games

Maths for all 📏

• Do you have a measuring tape at home? Use the tape and go around your home finding things that are smaller than 100cm. You might need an adult to help you. Remember 100 centimetres is the same as 1 metre!!

Fun for all 😁

• I hope you are all managing to try to tie your laces. I look forward to seeing how well you can do it when we return to school.
• Remember to help around your house more. Can you make your own bed or help to make lunch?
• Our new topic this term is Our Town. Have a look on google maps for the area or town you live. Can you find your street or where someone in your family stays?
• Try and collect pieces of rubbish over the next week as you could use them as part of our topic work.

 

Most importantly please all stay safe and well.🤗

Take care,
