Wednesday 2nd December

Literacy

Remember to revise your tricky words and phoneme every day.

In class we have been exploring alliteration. This is when a sound is repeated. For example

She sells sea shells on the sea shore.

At home choose at least five objects and use alliteration to describe them. For example, a shoe, shiny shoe.

Then try some tongue twisters. Who can say them the best? Can you and your family come up with your own tongue twisters?

  • I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream!
  • Peter Piper. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.

Good morning boys and girls!  I hope you all have a lovely Wednesday.  Today’s tasks are listed below.

Literacy

Today is partner spelling day.  Ask an adult to write the spelling words (go & got) on a piece of paper.  They will read them to you and you will write them 3 times using the correct formations.  When you have finished and checked your words, swap over so that you are now the reader and checker.  Practice your sentences from Monday and Tuesday in the same way.

Click on the link above and watch the new sound ‘w.’   Trace the sound in the air, on the carpet, on your arm etc.  You are very good in class at thinking of where to write the sound!   Practice writing ‘w’ on paper.

Have a go at reading the words  below then circle the ‘w’ sound in each one.  Look for a ‘w’ at the beginning, middle or end of the words.

wet   we   new   owl   web   cow

Practice writing and saying the words.

Log in to Education City.  I have put some tasks in a yellow star with a purple background today.

Numeracy & Mathematics

Practice counting to 20 and back (or go further if you wish).  Write the numbers 0-20.   An adult will ask you to find the number before, after or between some of the numbers.

Today you are going to be pattern detectives!  Collect as many different shapes as you can from around your house or garden.

Can you use the shapes to make a pattern?

Can you name the shapes in your pattern?

What would the next three shapes in your pattern be?

Key questions/talk point.  What properties can you use to describe the shapes?   Decide whether your pattern will have two or more different shapes in it.

Key vocabulary – triangle, square, circle, rectangle, cube, cuboid, cone, sphere, cylinder, corners, sides, 2D shape, 3D shape.

We have been working through The Great Fire of London topic in class.  I have put on the link for some information we have been exploring.  Please have a look by clicking the link below.

Hello boys and girls,

We have had a very naughty visitor this morning who has been up to no good. He has stolen some chocolate and has been stuffing his face all morning!! What do you think this cheeky elf is called?

What would you like our cheeky class elf to be called? Send me your ideas because Mr Stewart would love to choose his favourite.

I wonder what mischief he will get up to tomorrow!!

Good morning! I hope you are all well and are managing to access your tasks. It was lovely to hear from you yesterday and to receive your work. Some of you even sent some photographs of what you were getting up to  and this put a huge smile on my face. It definitely wasn’t the same without all of your lovely faces.

Here is today’s home learning. Hope you all have a lovely day and I look forward to hearing from you!

Good morning everyone.  I hope you are all fine today and managed to complete yesterday’s tasks.

Please continue with Active Literacy spelling tasks today for ‘go’ and ‘got.’  If weather permits, you could go outside and use chalk if you have it to spell your words or make each word with sticks or stones.  Remember 3 times for each word!

Your sentence today is ‘We got a flag for you.’   Note to parents –  write the sentence on a piece of paper then cut it up.  Read the sentence to your child while they find the words and put/stick them in order to re-make it.  They then read the sentence, write the sentence underneath while taking care to include a capital letter, finger spaces and full stop.  Draw a picture to go with the sentence.

Read your reading book and practice your words.

Write 5 small ‘h’ and 5 large ‘h’ in bright colours.

Google search Alphablocks – h and enjoy the programme.

Maths –  Write number formations 0-9 taking care to make sure they all begin at the top of the number.  Continue on from number 9 for as far as you can go.

The children have bee practicing the number before, after and between to 20.  There is a good activity on Top Marks called Helicopter Rescue .  Before you begin, select ‘Find a Number’ ‘In Between 1 to 20.’

Another good game in Top Marks is Robot Addition ‘Up to 10.’  Again please use materials to help your child count eg. buttons, pasta, cubes etc.

For fun after all that hard work enjoy a drawing lesson with Great Artist Mom.  Click on the link to start.

Literacy

Remember that you should be revising your phoneme and tricky words every day. Why not go outside and throw a ball to someone in your family, each time you catch the ball say a letter of your word. You could make your words from pasta or anything else you have at home.

Tuesday is always our comprehension day. The children use their reading book and answer a variety of questions about their book. The children are well versed in our find it, prove it and talk about it approach. Our focus recently has been to focus on giving specific full answers. For example

How many people looked after the rainbow machine?

You should write

Seven people looked after the rainbow machine.

Green Reading Group

Tuesday 1st Of December Primary 2 Numeracy

Leave a comment

Good morning everyone.

Today we begin with some numeracy.

We have been using the Rekenreks for our number talks. If you follow the link you will find an interactive rekenrek that you can use. Ask your grown up to give you a number between 1-20, how many different ways can you show your grown up the number on your rekenrek? Remember to make use of the white and red colours to make a fast five or ten.

Grown-ups you might ask your child to show you 5 in one move or show you 12 in 3 moves and so on.

https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/rekenrek/index.html

The children have been working on o’clock and half past. You could try the link below which takes you to the Topmarks website where you can play clock splat.

https://www.sheppardsoftware.com/math/time/clock-splat-game/

If you are in the smaller maths group you can complete the task that asks you to revise writing the seasons of the year. You can also complete the activity that asks you to put the hands on the clocks to show o’clock.

 

 

If you completed the calendar task yesterday then today you can try the task that asks you to show one hour before and one hour after in digital time. If you can do this then you could move onto the Fun at the Park task. This involves reading a time question and working out the answer.
