Revision of all common words you have been taught so far.  Can you read and write them confidently?? Can you write them correctly into a sentence independently?

Stage 1 common words tick and colour

Stage 2 common words Term 1 to 3 Tick and Colour

Letters and Sounds are uploading daily phonics lessons from today.  The youtube channel can be found below.

The direct link for today’s lesson focussing on ‘ai’ is below (reception lesson 1).  This 20 minute lesson recaps other phonemes (sounds) and diagraphs (2 letter sounds) as well.

The direct link for today’s lesson focussing on ‘ay’ is below (year 1 lesson 1).

After watching the video you could draw a flower and write a different ‘ai’ or ‘ay’ word on each petal.  You could do this with a rainbow or rain clouds or anything else you like to draw.

We learned about the 2 and 10 times tables last term.  Skip counting in 2s and 10s is a useful strategy to help us remember the tables.  You could try skip counting in other numbers like 3, 4 and 5.  Can you build the 3, 4 or 5 times tables?  Can you see any number patterns that help you?

Counting in 2s looks like this. 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10….  The numbers are all even (end in 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8).  You jump over a number and say the next one.

Counting in 10s looks like this. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50….The numbers are all even and end in 0. The number of tens goes up by 1 each time.

Below are links to some of the Numberblocks episodes on BBC iplayer. Start at 4.16 which is about times tables.  The following episodes explore sharing out and division.  Remember times tables (multiplying) makes a bigger number, division makes a smaller number as you share out the objects into groups.  Have a go at sharing out objects with people at home.  You could collect 8 toys and share them out.  If there are 4 people in your house how many toys would each person get?  Remember it has to be fair so everyone gets an equal amount.

Poppies  –  your     by    only  

Sunflowers, Daisies and Buttercups   –   round    found      wish       men

1. Think about sentence for these words. You could write the sentences.

2. Think about the sounds in the words e.g  y –  ou  – r              r – ou – n -d

3. Can you write them out without looking

Here’s one of our favourite stories in class!!

1. Read along to the Audio Book
2. Try drawing and colouring Supertato or why don’t you try to plan a healthy menu with lots of fruit and vegetables.
3. There are more Supertato books, see if you can read/listen to some more.

This week our focus is on change from 10p:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zwvgkqt

Price things round your home, e.g ball = 6p. What change would you have left from 10p

10p – 6p = 4p

What coins make 4p? Lay out the correct amount.

Try Finding change

This week we are focusing on finding the change from 20p

Watch: https://youtu.be/1GK8fp33D4A

Try: changefrom20pactivity

Get 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p and 20p coins. Give some items from your house and price them from 1p to 19p. Work out how much change you would get from your 20p coin.

E.g  I want to buy the ball = 6p

20 – 6 = 14

14p = 10p + 2p + 2p

Practise blending 2 and 3 letter words

See step by step lesson: Poppies Blending

Your new phoneme this week is:   ou

Think about which words have the ‘ou’ phoneme in them, e.g sound.

Make up your own list.

We hope you managed to have a fun filled Spring holiday despite the Lockdown.  Now that we are at the start of what would be Term 4 we will begin to post some new home learning tasks.  We’d love to hear from you and see any tasks that you would like to share with us.  You can do that in a number of ways.  Add a comment to one of the blog posts (this is a public forum so please post responsibly and safely), post a message/photo in our P3/2 Microsoft Team (a link was emailed to your personal glow email address) or tweet a photo to the Ladywell Twitter page.

The first learning activities for this term are based around the Twinkl ebook, ‘The Zoo Vet’.  You can read the book online on the Twinkl website which has been made free for the duration of the school closures.  You can sign up at www.twinkl.co.uk/offer and enter the code UKTWINKLHELPS.

The link for the book is https://www.twinkl.com/book/the-zoo-vet or you can search for it.

The Twinkl home learning grid can be found here https://www.twinkl.com/resource/the-zoo-vet-p2-mini-home-learning-topic-cfe-pa-2548617 and it has also been attached here  The Zoo Vet Home Learning.

Most of the activities don’t require you to have read the ebook but it is an excellent excuse to read together and talk about what happens.

A lot of the activities link to our earlier learning in P3/2 on animal habitats, days of the week, hand washing and role play.

There is no expectation to do every task, these are just some suggestions for the week.  We understand the difficulties of home learning as we are trying to do it with our kids too!  Please share what you do have a go at as we would love to see how you get on.

Mrs Carton and Miss Steel
