Good morning, boys and girls. I hope you had a good weekend and enjoyed the lovely, sunny weather.
There are lots of new things for you to learn this week but I think it would be a good idea to start the day off with some exercises. Today I thought we could work out with Joe Wicks. The lessons are called “PE with Joe” and they are streamed live on Joe Wicks’ You Tube channel at 9am, Monday to Friday.
Did you enjoy that? Remember to drink plenty of water during and after exercising to keep your body hydrated!
Boys and girls remember that you can also go outside for some exercise. You can go for a walk, play on your trampoline, ride your bike or any other activity you choose. But remember; you can only do this with people who live with you!
Number
Ok boys and girls we are going to start off today by counting and clapping to 30.
Now clap back from 30 to 0.
Ok. Now count on in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s and see how far you can get.
Now practise your days, months and seasons.
I wonder if you could make a season wheel today? All you have to do is draw a circle (you can use a plate, pot lid or anything round as a template).
Now, split the circle into 4 parts. First draw a line from top to bottom through the circle. Now, draw a line from left to right through the circle. It should look like this:
Now, you draw one of the seasons in each quarter of the circle and remember to think about what each season looks like! Think about the weather, the clothes and the celebrations that go with each season. Here is one that’s already done to help you.
The first number game today is really easy – all you have to do is identify numbers between 10 and 20! Here is the link to the first game.

Now you are going to practise counting in 2’s, 5’s and 10’s. Don’t worry, there are pictures in this game to help you if you are unsure. Here is the link to the second game.

Literacy
Phonics:
Boys and girls today I would like you to practise all your letter sounds and phonemes that you’ve learned so far.
Firstly, you can sing along with the songs and show your family the actions.
Here is a link to the site:

Now, I would like you to practise writing each letter sound and phoneme and think of a word that starts with each sound.
eg: d = dog, sh = shop.
You could play a game with your family and take it in turns to name something which starts with each letter sound.
Here is a link to a game which will help you practise your phonemes. I’m sure you will enjoy it!

I would like you to choose a new book today. Try to read your book but remember to ask for help with tricky words and use the pictures to help you to read.
Read your book 2 or 3 times. Now, I would like you to be a text detective and look for your common words in your book.
Write down as many as you can find.
Now, pick 2 common words and write an interesting sentence with them. Remember capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.

Boys and girls, some of you may have made a seasons wheel today so you will have been thinking about the 4 seasons. Spring is my favourite season because everywhere you look there are new and beautiful things to see; baby animals, spring flowers, plants and little chicks.
Here is a power-point all about spring for you to watch and discuss.

I would like you to say a little prayer to thank our Heavenly Father for the beautiful world he has created for us.
You could even write your prayer down and illustrate it with a beautiful picture.
Remember boys and girls, you don’t have to do everything! Just try to complete as much work as you can.
I hope you have a great day,
Mrs Connolly.
