Good morning everyone!
I hope that you all had a lovely weekend. This week it is ‘Mental Health Awareness Week’ and during Lockdown we have experienced all kinds of emotions.
To help you to control emotions and to help you relax, I have been posting some brilliant breathing/ relaxation videos from Mrs MacMillan’s Youtube channel. Aren’t they great? Well, I wanted to share with you, her funny blooper video of just how many tries she takes to get her videos right. I hope it gives you a giggle!
I hope you enjoyed watching the video. What did you think of it? How did it make you feel? I hope it cheered you up!
The video clip shows you that no matter how many tries Mrs McMillan took, she didn’t give up. You can see from the video she tried to cope with her challenge and stay strong – she didn’t give up when it got tricky! I want you to take that message with you today.
You are doing a great job. You can get through this difficult time!
Here are today’s lessons:
Monday 18th May
Literacy: Spelling ✏
Use your spelling method to help you learn your words:
LOOK: at a small group of words and their letter patterns.
SAY: the words quietly, thinking about the letter patterns.
COVER: the key word list.
WRITE: the group of words you have practised
CHECK: how many you have spelt correctly. If you need to, have another go.
Warm up
- I can read, write and spell ‘oi and oy’ words.
Task – Focus – Record your date, title and I can in your jotter. Write out your words from the key word box using look, say, cover, write, check with a finger space between each word.
A) Look at the pictures. Write the rhyming key words in your book. The first one is done to help you.
B) Write five other oi key words neatly in your jotter.
C) Write a sentence that includes two of the key words in it.
Main Activity
- I can sort words into the correct letter patterns
- I can order my letters in words accurately
Task: Extra – A. Write three headings in your jotter, oil words, oin words and oy words. B. Write three sentences using at least one word from each letter pattern family.

If you search for a book that you like, Click on the front cover to open it. Then click on the screen to read the first page. If there are too many tricky words it’s not the best book for you. If there are just a few tricky words then this is a perfect book for you. 👍🏼
PLEASE COMMENT if you have any questions or difficulties. 😀
Maths: Multiplication
- I can build up the 5 times table
- I can use repeated addition to work out table facts (counting on in 5’s)
Warm up task: 5x Table Song
Take part in moving and singing along to the Posh Pooch to remind you of your 5x table.

Main Activity: 5 Times Table
- I can count on and back in 5’s accurately.
- I can recall my times tables facts for 5
Read each question carefully. Think about what it is asking you to do and how you should write your number sentence. Look for a number clue in the text. Count on in sets of 5’s to find the answer. for example:
1a. 5 x 7 = 35 (5 green trucks x 7 bags = 35)
2a. 9 x 5 = 45
3a. 5 x 3 = 13 so helmets in 3 boxes
4a. 5 x [1] = 5
You can even use your 100-square to help you count on.
Check over your answers and traffic-light your work. 🚦
