Hello everyone,

I hope you have all had a nice holiday weekend and been able to get outdoors some of the time.  I am posting new home learning activities for you to try this week, remember to just do what you can, these are only suggestions.  The important thing is to stay safe and healthy.  Have a nice week everyone.

Take care, I miss you all.

Literacy

P2 and P3 – Look at your Active Literacy sounds sheet and practise the new words for the ‘y’ sound.  Most of these words end in ‘y’ but one has the sound in the middle.  Your words for this week are fly, shy, cry, sky, why, dry and myself.  Practise writing the words for that sound in your laminated Elkonin Boxes in your pack and see if you can think of any more words ending in ‘y’.  Write 3 sentences using some of your new words.

Bug Club – Reading

Log on to Bug Club and read 2 of your books.  Ask an adult to help with any tricky words and see if you can find any of your new spelling words in your reading book.  Well done to everyone who has been reading their books.

Writing

For writing this week you are going to make a sandwich for your lunch of your choice.  You will need to ask an adult first if you can do this.  After you have eaten your delicious sandwich you have to write a set of instructions on what you did.  These instructions have to be numbered in the correct order.  You will need to write what you did first for example:-

1.  I got two slices of bread from the bread bin.

then what you did next

2.  I spread each side with butter.

List in order until you have finished writing your instructions.  We have written instructions in class before, can you remember?

I have attached a link below for a style you can use.  You could either print it or just use it as an idea.

How to Make a Sandwich

Numeracy

P2 – We are going to revise Number Bonds to 20.  This is something we need to keep practising which will help us with mental calculations.  I have attached a link below for you to print the sheets you need.  This is a challenge this week to see if you can complete the easy sheet, the medium or the tricky one.  Some people might want to try all three.

Number bonds to 20

P3 – We are going to be adding a 2 digit number to a 2 digit number using partitioning.  Remember we were trying this in class just before we finished.

Here is an example:-

32 + 26 =

You add the tens then you add the ones.

Try the sums on the attached sheet.  If you can’t print the sheet just copy out the sums that you can see.  If you click on the link you will still see the sheet.

Adding a 2 digit number to a 2 digit number

P2 and P3 – Go on to Topmarks site and go into addition and subtraction.  Play the Blast Off game ‘Count on and Back’.  Start at 30 to 60 then challenge yourself and go up to 60-99.  The link is below.

Hello everyone,

Hope you are all safe and well.  Just to remind everyone that this is a holiday weekend as Monday is a Bank Holiday and Tuesday an in-service day so you have no school work to do until Wednesday.  I hope the weather stays dry for you all to get outdoors and have some fun with your family.  I will post your new Home Learning Activities for you next week on Wednesday.  Have you saw the Barshare Beat on our website?  Hope you enjoy it.  Have a lovely weekend everyone and stay safe.

Hello everyone,

I hope you and all your family are well and happy.  The sun has been shining again and I hope you have all been able to go outside and enjoy it either in your garden or your daily walks.  Here are some new activities for you to try this week and remember just do what you can,  these are only suggestions.

Take care everyone and stay safe.  I miss you all and I will be in touch again next week.

Literacy

P2 and P3 – Look at your Active Literacy sounds sheet and practise the new words for the ‘igh’ sound.  These words are high, right, thigh, bright, might and light.  This is quite a tricky sound this week.  Challenge yourself and see if you can think of any more ‘igh’ words.  An adult can help you with the correct spelling.  Write 3 sentences using one of your words in each sentence.

Bug Club – Reading

Well done to everyone who has been reading your reading books.  Log on to Bug Club and read 2 of your books.  Ask an adult to help you with  the tricky words.  See how many ‘igh’ words you can find in your reading book and write them down.  If you have other books at home you could look and see if there are any ‘igh’ words in them.

Writing

This week for writing I thought you could help your family write their shopping list.  When we are writing lists we write one item then underneath we write the next item.  Try using bullet points for this, I will show you a style underneath.  All you need is a sheet of paper and a pencil, start by writing at the top of the paper Shopping List then underneath write all the items your family need.  This is something you will need an adult to work with you, even if they just read out the items you need and you write them down.  I have attached a style below but you can make up your own style.

Shopping List2

P2 and P3 – We are going to try some word problems this week.  Just like we have done before in class on the big board.  Remember you need to read the problems first and think about how you are going to do the calculation.  Is it adding or subtracting?  An adult can help you with the reading if you are not sure of some of the words.  Just click on the link below to see the sheet, you can print it if you want.

Word Problems

P2 and P3 – We have been learning the months of the year in class, see if you can write them out in the correct order and practise spelling them.  Remember they all start with a capital letter.  A family member can help you with the spelling.  Here is a short video clip you can click on to help you practise them.

Hello everyone,

Hope everyone in your family are well and managing to put your time in.  It is important to spend time outside every day even if it is just playing in your garden.

This week for our writing we are going to be writing about a Missing/Lost Pet.  First you have to put the name of your pet and what type of pet it is then you have to write some sentences using capital letters and full stops about why your pet has become missing.  P3’s can try using different connectives in your writing and some adjectives.  When you have completed this you can draw a picture in the box of your pet.  This is an imaginative piece of writing therefore if you don’t have a pet this is your chance to make one up. You could use the link below or just write it on a piece of paper.

P3’s this week could practise division on Topmarks site Hit the Button, remember you have been dividing by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10 in class.  After this you an complete a colour division activity.  It is colour by 2, 5 and 10 division.  I have put the link below if you can’t access the link write out some division sums on paper dividing by 2, 5 and 10.

Stem – Your Stem activity for this week is How to Make a Bird Feeder from a plastic bottle.  This is a nice activity to make with an adult because they will need to help you with the scissors part.  When you have made it you can hang it in your garden and watch all the different birds come to enjoy the food.  I have copied the link below for the Natural History Museum which shows a short video clip on how to make it.
