Literacy

This week we will be learning the ‘ee’ and ‘oo’ sounds. Complete the sound sheet and write a list of ‘ee’and ‘oo’ words in your homework jotter. Practise reading each list out loud every night to improve fluency and aid quick recognition.

Read and discuss your reading book every night.

Maths

Can you count up in 2’s? Write some number patterns in your jotter eg. 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 etc or 3, 5, 7, 9, etc. Try some going down in 2’s eg. 10, 8, 6, 4, etc. or 11, 9, 7, 5 etc. Can you continue numbers up to 30 or even bigger! How far can you go?

We have been working a lot on maths vocabulary and understanding what each word is telling you to do. Words that mean ‘add’ include ‘more than’, ‘altogether’, ‘count on’ and ‘after’. Words that mean ‘take away’ include ‘less than’, ‘count back’, ‘subtract’ and ‘before’. Complete some oral examples eg. ‘What is 2 less than 10?’ or ‘ What is 4 and 5 altogether?’. Keep answers no bigger than 10.

Topic

We are learning about ourselves and our bodies and how we can do lots of different things. Talk about all the things you do around the house (tidy your bedroom, set the table etc). Draw pictures of how you help in your jotter and write about what you are doing under your picture.
