Homework Tasks this week-

Reading– core reader (reading book);

Spelling– spelling pattern ew- the common words this week are very and fast

Please encourage your child to:

Say the word   e.g. new

Break it into the sounds e.g. n-ew (2 sounds)

Blend it- n….ew… (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 sentence ( or two) each week this term using one or more spelling words- 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.

Maths- There is no written maths homework this week to allow time to enjoy sharing books and stories. However we have been practising doubles to 20 (and above for some) and near doubles (eg.  7+8= double 7 plus 1) if anyone is keen for mental maths practice.

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

Please check your homework folder tomorrow for an invitation to a PEF reading workshop. Each child and their parent/carer has an invitation to one of four reading workshops.  There are four separate workshops to keep numbers in each session low.  Following on from the workshops there will be an opportunity for children to attend a ‘reading café’ with a parent or carer.  A reading café is an informal opportunity for children to read and share books with a parent or carer with a drink and snack available for children.  The reading café will run on four afterschool sessions (dates supplied in tomorrow’s letter).

Homework Tasks this week-

Reading– core reader (reading book);

Spelling– spelling pattern oi- the common words this week are could, would, should.

Please encourage your child to:

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

Blend it- b…oi….l…(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. Please write one or more sentences using one or more spelling words, making sure each sentence starts with a Capital letter, has finger spaces between words and has a full stop/other end punctuation at the end of each sentence.

There will be a spelling dictation on Friday this week.

Maths- Missing number sums (or missing addend sums).

Find the missing number. Remember the missing number will be smaller than the answer.  If the number if larger children should become aware that they have gone wrong.

Knock the number (gently) in to your head and count on using your fingers until you reach the answer. The missing number should correspond to the number of fingers you are holding up.

e.g. 4  +   __  =  8

Knock your head gently saying 4, then count on your fingers 5,6,7,8. You should be holding up four fingers.  The missing number in the sum is 4.

If this is tricky– use objects (like buttons) to find the answer. Lay out 4 buttons- put out more so you have 8 in total.  How many extra buttons did you need to lay out?

Extra Challenge

Choose a missing number sum/s from the first side. Can you show this on an empty number line?

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