Spelling Homework:

Bananas: The group were introduced to the phoneme ‘ae’ today and in class looked at all it’s representations. At home this week could the children come up with words in each of the representation. a_e, ay, ai, ey and ea.  No formal tasks this week.

Oranges:  Phoneme ‘igh’  high, right, thigh, bright, might, light

Common Words : who, after, hand, right

Could the pupils please practise the words using the say, make/break, read, write  method and complete a multi-sensory activity of their choice, eg, rainbow writing, magnetic letters, or playdoh letters and learn to spell these words independently for their quiz in class on Friday.

Maths Homework:

Triangles:  3 times table activity sheet.

Pupils were also introduced to fact families today and should be able to explain this at home. They have been asked to practise identifying the 4 calculations that make a fact family in the 3x table. An example is given below;

3 x 4 = 12, 4 x 3 = 12, 12 divided by 4 = 3 and 12 divided by 3 =4.

Circles: Odd and Even numbers sheet and learn its: 6 + 6, 7 +7, 8 + 8 and 9+9

In class they have been learning about halving numbers to 20 so any practise would be beneficial at recalling facts.  They have also been reading and writing numbers beyond 100 and identifying numbers before and after.

Reading Homework:

Dragons:  The Demon Headmaster- Read chapters 1 and 2

Centaurs: George’s Marvellous Medicine- Read chapters 1 and 2

Unicorns 1: Is the Wise Owl Wise? Pages 1-12

Unicorns 2: A Day in London – Pages 1-4

Could I please ask that the Dragons and Centaurs do not read further in the book than allocated each week as this would impact the activities they will do in class.

Please discuss the text with your child and allow opportunities for them to read aloud to a grown up as well as reading quietly to themselves.

Pupils should have a personal reader of their choice to regularly read at their pleasure.
