Good morning everyone! Hope you have all had a lovely weekend?

It was a bit wet yesterday, so we did some baking and watched a movie. What about you guys, what have you been up to over the weekend?

Today I have set a few assignments:

Literacy

Spelling – ‘ou’ Phoneme
The phoneme ‘ow’ can make two sounds ‘ow’ as in ‘cow’ and ‘ow’ as in ‘crow’. This week we are focusing on the ‘ow’ phoneme as in ‘cow’. There are three ways of making the ‘ow’ phoneme this week: ‘ow’ (e.g cow), ‘ou’ (e.g. cloud) and ‘ough’ (this one can be tricky). Make three lists of words including these phonemes, you can look in books to help you if you wish. It can can be tricky choosing words that have the correct sound in them. Make sure all of your words have the same ‘ow’ sound as ‘cow’ in them somewhere.

It was Vhairi’s birthday yesterday and she turned 6! We had a little party for her with just the three of us! She was pleased some of her family left presents at the door for her and there were lots of video calls. It was certainly a different birthday!

I have set some assignments for today and like always the hand in date is Sunday. Please just do what you can.

Numeracy

PE – Obstacle Course

This fun task actually covers many skills from different subjects. Be creative and make an obstacle course (outdoors where possible) which includes lots of different P.E. skills. It could including jumping over things, crawling under things, fitness stations, racquet/ball skills or anything else you can think of. Chalk lines to jump to and from or zig zag accross.
Add in some maths – use a stopwatch and record the time you take to complete the course. Run the course a few times. What was your best time? What is the difference between your fastest time and slowest time? Time the whole family running the course and compare your times.
Another literacy/maths task you could try is guiding someone in your family through you course using positional/directional language – blindfold them for an even bigger challenge. Be creative, the possibilities are endless. Please take some pictures and upload them if you can.

Literacy

Spelling – Silent ‘e’ rule

Reading – A new Bug CLub book has been allocated for your group,

Writing – Instructional Writing linked to your obstacle course.
Please write a set of instructions for someone to follow your obstacle course. Remember to include a list of equipment that they will need, use imperative (bossy -put/make/jump) verbs, adverbs like slowly/carefully and state the steps that they need to follow as they work their way around your course. I have included a self assessment guide should you wish to go over your work and self assess, like we do in class. I’ve also added an imperative(bossy) word mat for help if you need it.
