This week activities for Maths on Studyladder are continuing to work on numbers to 100.
Continue to explore numbers to 100. Try to count to 100 and back, again in 2s, 5s and 10s. Have a go at writing the numbers to 100 or counting household items that have a bigger quantity than 20, perhaps clothes pegs, pasta shapes, lentils anything at all you can find!
You can watch Jack Hartman counting to 100 on you tube!
P1a love to listen to Jack Hartman Maths songs!

This week the common words are :
was went his have just to your by only
Below are some activities that you can do to practice these:
Activity 1 – Practice writing you sounds and common words. You can do this on paper with pencil, crayons, pens etc. You can do this outside using chalk, squirting water from a bottle, making them out of twigs and stones be as creative as you can.
Activity 2 – Read and write some words starting with your sounds like ant, pig, sip …. and draw some pictures to match the words.
Activity 3 – Use some of your common words to write some sentences or tell an adult some sentences like – I got an apple from the fruit bowl.
Activity 4 – Make flashcards of your common words and try jumping on each one when an adult calls them out or read each one as you jump on them or even throw a ball onto each word and read them when the ball lands on a word or stick them on a wall and shoot them with something.
Activity 5 – Have someone give you a little test at the end the week to write the sounds and spelling words you have been practising.
I would love to see any pictures of these activities or any other activities you have been doing to practice, again through our Microsoft Team page or on twitter.
Studdyladder Literacy Activities:
Login to your Studdyladder account to see what Literacy activities have been set for you this week! Have fun!
Reading
This week our book is called ‘Top Dog’
This book has some more challenging words in it so before reading, talk to your child about some of the tricky words listed below.
Write them down and talk about how to recognise them in the text. Here are some ideas on how to teach strategies for reading these words:
look: this word has “looking eyes” two o’s make long oo sound.
this: th like the start of the word the and sound out i-s to ie. th-i-s.
like: can’t be sounded out using initial sounds as the e changes the sound of the i in the words.
There are activities online linked to the book and a follow up activity is attached here if you would like to complete a written task.
