Homework Tasks this week-

Reading– core reader (reading book);

Spelling– spelling pattern ue- the common words this week are should, could, have, come

Please encourage your child to:

Say the word   e.g. blue

Break it into the sounds e.g. b- l-ue (3 sounds)

Blend it- b…l….ue…(stretching out each sound)

Write it (whilst covering the word)

Check it (against the written format)

If possible, tackle one column of spelling on two different nights. Children would benefit from writing a simple sentence this term- starting with a Capital letter, remember finger spaces and to finish with a full stop/other end punctuation.

There will be a spelling dictation on Friday this week.

Talking Homework-We have enjoyed singing some Scottish songs and rhymes. Can you learn this poem?  There will be an opportunity to perform this to the class on Friday.

Maths- Children have been learning to count on using numbers to 20 and beyond.   Encourage your child to say the number and count on the number of stars- pointing at the stars as they do so.  Some children will be able to do this by saying the number and counting on using their fingers to keep track of the jumps.

Challenge-Can your child show you the sum using an empty number line. We will be practising this in class every day this week.

 

Please bring homework folders/reading books daily, as children will need these at various times during the week.

Thanks for your support with homework. Ms Crawford
