Good Morning everybody! Welcome back to another sunny week of home learning (hopefully!)
I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Below is this week’s activities. As always, you can pick and choose whatever suits you. My suggestion is to try to complete one Numeracy and one Literacy activity each day.
I’m going to post a little bit less this week, as if we were at school the children would only be in 3 days. So take advantage of that long weekend if you can. If you want to keep them busy feel free to browse the resources that have been posted previously.
Remember you can share your learning via gw18burnsidephotos@glow.sch.uk
Just three activities this week but remember to try and do some personal reading – this can be a magazine, a book, a comic etc
Spelling
Click on the spelling tab at the top for some activities that will help you practise your spelling words. Remember to say, make/break, blend, read and write.
It really helps to do a little spelling test and the end of the week to see how much you have learned or if there are any words you still need to work on.
Red Team
Your phoneme this week comes from the same sound family as last week’s word. That means it’s a bit trickier because it sounds the same but it looks different.
‘ou’ Phoneme – count, house, round, outside, sound, mouse
Common Words – round, found, wish, men
Purple Team
‘au’ Phoneme – sauce, because, applaud, pause, Paul, Laura (remember Capital letters for names)
Common Words – because, week, keep, when
Yellow Team
Keep working on ‘th’
‘th’ Phoneme – thin, with, cloth, thick, thorn, thud, moth
Common Words – this, that, then
Handwriting
Keep working on your joined up handwriting. I know this isn’t everybody’s favourite…but keep practising! The more you do the easier it gets and I will be blown away when you come back to school. Remember if you have already had a go at this sheet. You can practise on paper. You can even try making a sentence with these joined up words.
Focus on Comp
Remember to try and answer using complete sentences, with capital letters and full stops.
Strawberries, Pineapples and Grapes
Lemons

If you are interrested RBS are also providing interactive MoneySense Mondays lessons on the RBS facebook page every Monday morning from 11.30pm. First level is the first half hour.
Activity 2
Studyladder
This weeks pods are all about 2D and 3D shapes. It has been quite a while since we have learned this so I hope it refreshes those memories. Please let me know if you need a new login/password – I know its been a few weeks now since these were sent out.
Activity 3
Measuring height and length
Although you looked at this a little in P1, we haven’t looked at this yet this year. However, I thought this would be a good one to start looking at with your grown ups at home 🙂 Click the link below for some activity suggestions.
Measuring Height and Length WK 4
As well as the usual;
* Joe Wicks PE

Go Noodle is also a great resource for dance videos, yoga videos and mindfulness chill out videos. There are some funny ones on there the kids love too (be warned you may be singing them in your head afterwards) I think you need to set up an account but it’s free.

Extra Activities
I know that some of you have been working very hard, creating wonderful WW1 tanks, trenches and enjoying learning about The First World War. You can continue to work on this and if you really want to keep learning more about WW1 you can keep doing your own personal research.
Since this is what would be our new term, I thought we could have a look at a mini topic at home. The mini topic is going to be all about DINOSAURS. Below is a topic web that has lots of ideas you could do at home all about but you could also come up with your own ideas. Find a link to the PDF file of this picture here:
Dinosaurs mini topic
Art
When I was working with the P2 boys and girls in the hub last week, we had a great time learning all about minibeasts. They made some fantastic ladybirds, snails and caterpillars. It was a really fun art activity and mostly using paper – so if you have paper at home you could have a go.
Here is step by step of the ladybird as that one was a bit trickier.

Finally, I am going to create some tabs at the top of the page for each subject area and I’ll continue to add suggestions there to dip in and out of – or if you have missed previous activities they’ll all be in one place. There will be some different art ideas in the ‘Art’ tab at the top of the page. Keep an eye out for this on Monday or Tuesday.
Have a great ‘short’ week boys and girls 🙂 Miss you all!
