Number Words
We are getting good at counting numbers but can we read and spell number words? Use the clip and table below to help your number word practice. Again like the spelling challenge, use playdoh, pens, lego, chalk etc. to learn how to spell number words! Once you’ve watched the video clip and had ago of spelling number words, play the online game Blast Off Spelling (click on the image below).
Friday Fun Spelling
Challenge: Remember our sounds this week are a_e and wh. Think of some words and write them down. You can use paint, chalk, playdoh to make the words or even lego, be creative. In class we do rainbow spelling, where we write our words in one colour and again on top of it with another colour, try it at home too! Another activity could be to write your words in chalk and then use a wet paintbrush (dipped in water) to go over the words. Get a plate or tray of shaving foam and use your finger to spell the words out! There’s lots of fun ways to practise your spelling, see the pictures below to give you some ideas!
Read the words below to help you if you can’t think of any.

Morning Literacy Starter: Thursday 26th March
Good morning children, parents and carers! We hope you are all well and safe. We have nearly made it through the week!
Remember these activities and challenges are posted to reinforce your learning at home. You don’t have to do all of them all at once. We understand that your adults and other family members will be busy doing their work too. So just do what you can and when you can. Home learning isn’t just about doing Literacy and Maths, it’s sitting and spending time with your family. It’s also being kind and helpful by doing jobs around your home like washing the dishes, setting the table and making your bed. Remeber our rule, children: LISTEN to and respect your adults at home as they are working their hardest to keep you safe and well. 🙂
The children love doing a morning challenge as soon as they come into the classroom in the mornings so we thought we’d put one up on the blog!
