☀️Good morning my wonderful ones ☀️

How are you all today?

We will begin our day as always, with our morning prayer.🙏🏻

God our Father, as we prepare to begin our work, we ask you to help us use properly, the many gifts you have given us, so that we may fully benefit from our day together in school. St. Barbara, pray for us.

Here is today’s overview:

Literacy🔠

oo sound 👀👩‍🍳

Yesterday you learned the ‘oo’ sound. Did you manage to think of lots of words that have this sound? Look at the pictures below, can you guess each oo word?

Common Words: play, no, look

Ask your child to think of a strategy to help them spell each new common word correctly. Ask them if they can sound out any of their new common words?

The only word that they can sound out this week is look. This word has this week’s phoneme in it, l-oo-k.

When we say the word no, the o says the letter name not the o sound so we cannot sound this word out.

Your child has not learned the ay sound yet so we treat play as a sight word.

Writing✍️

Once your child has written their sentences ask them to check that they have included their core writing targets.

Maths🔢

How long is a minute?🕘

Have you ever asked to do something and someone has replied ‘wait a minute‘ or ‘you can do it in a minute’? How long is a minute?

We can see one minute passing on the clock as the minute hand moves from one little line to the next, recognising that there are 60 little lines around the clock. There are 60 minutes in one hour.

Sabrina wants to enter a competition to rap the most words in one minute but is not sure how long this is. Watch the video clip below to learn more.

What can you do in a minute?🤷‍♀️

Can you be silent for one minute?

Today I would like you to explore what you can do in one minute.

You could use the one minute sand timer below to help you measure one minute:

Challenge🌶

Ask someone in your house to time you and see how many times you can do the following activities in one minute. After you finish, you could swap over and see if they could beat you.

Activities:

How many times can you write your name in one minute?

How many times can you touch your toes in one minute?

How many star jumps can you do in one minute?

How many times can you count up to ten in one minute?

How many different words can you write down in one minute?

What else can you do in one minute boys and girls?

I hope that you enjoyed your Slushies yesterday!! We just managed to get them made in the warm weather as today has to be a bit cooler.

YOGA 🧘‍♀️ 🧘‍♂️

We are going to follow a little Yoga session that Mrs McFall (Daniel and Luke’s mum) has kindly allowed us to share on the Blog.

Below is a great Yoga workout that you can do along with an adult or your siblings. You can also have your favourite ted join in too.

Yoga is a great skill helping you learn the importance of how you breath which in turn helps us relax and sleep well. (Parents: Mrs McFall recommends that you allow your child to go with the flow and, if you are able to accompany them doing the video, ask them similar questions). Remember with any exercise we should remember to drink plenty to keep us hydrated, looking after our bodies!!

Once again a great big thank you to Mrs McFall and Luke. 👏👏

R.E.🙏🏻

Over the course of the last few days we have been learning about the importance of Pentecost. It has shown us how important the feast is in the church’s year.

There are a few activities below which you can complete to reinforce what you have learned about The Feast of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit. You can choose to do one activity or why not complete it together with your siblings.

pentecost – story

pentecost – word search

When you have finished your activities, take a few minutes to pray together with your family. I have attached a lovely hymn that you could sing together to finish off your Pentecost work for today.
