Good morning and welcome to Home Learning Week 3. I hope you all had a lovely Easter in the sunshine and the Easter Bunny was good to you all!
I have listed tasks which can be undertaken during the week and can be carried out in any order. Everyone is in a different situation so please do whatever you can with your child and don’t worry about completing it all.
Literacy
Reading
Please find the text below for your child’s group. Try to answer the questions in a sentence in the jotter that was in your child’s Home Learning pack.
Strawberries
Grapes
Pineapples
Apples
Please try to practise saying and writing (correct formation) all the letters of the alphabet daily then complete pages 2- 5 of the booklet pictured below (one page per day). Words could also be practised using paint, pasta and play dough etc. Any colouring activities which could be undertaken would also be beneficial as this would help to develop finger muscles which would aid pencil control.
Dictionary
Please find below the Dictionary booklets for each group with pages to be undertaken. Dictionary booklets were given out in the Home Learning packs.
Strawberries
Please complete pages 1 and 2 of this booklet.
Grapes
Please complete pages 2 and 3 of this booklet.
Writing
Strawberries and Grapes
Spring Break was a very different holiday for us all. Ask your child to write about it. Include: what things they did instead of going out visiting new places or going outside to play with friends, what was their favourite activity to do and how have they kept in touch with family and friends? Remember to use V.C.O.P. (Vocabulary, Connectives, Openers, Punctuation). Children can illustrate their writing when they are finished. You could use the jotter that was given out or your own paper.
Apples
Ask your child to choose an activity they really enjoyed doing during Spring Break. Ask them to draw a picture of themself doing it and remember to include all body parts in the correct places. They could then label the picture, using sounds/phonemes to “have a go” at writing some simple words. You could use the jotter that was given out or your own paper.
Handwriting
Please complete the page indicated below for your child’s group. Handwriting booklets were given out in the Home Learning packs.
Strawberries
Grapes and Pineapples
Apples
Personal Reading
Please set aside time each day to spend some time reading for pleasure.
Numeracy
Please find below this term’s Learn Its/Counting activities for your child’s group. There is also a link to Time worksheets/Clock Face activity (which can be used for extra practice) that can be printed out.
Circles
Squares
Triangles
Please continue to practise counting forwards to 10, as well as, counting backwards. Also, practise writing numbers to 10 correctly and try to count different objects around the house e.g. spoons, crayons. Continue to discuss numbers before and between, e.g. What number comes before 3? What number comes between 6 and 8?
Other Activities
Below is a link to sheets which can be printed out, completed and kept as a record of this unique time.

Hello, Miss Johnston. I hope you are all safe and well. Please say hi to Megan for me. What pictures is it you can’t see? Mrs Lindsay
Thanks for getting back. The work sheet picture. They are blank. I can see the numeracy ones but not the handwriting ones or the literacy worksheet photos.
Hi Mrs Lindsay, hope you had a fabulous Easter break.We can see the worksheets for Ali- Hassun’s group( strawberries).
Ali-Hassun saying hi and he misses you.
Can you please clarify if you can see the Strawberries group attachments, we are aware that some people are unable to see some of the attachments. Mrs Lindsay and I are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Apologies for any inconvenience.
Thank you for your patience!
Mr Miller
I can see them now. Thankyou
Mrs Iqbal, can you please say hi to Ali-Hassun for me and tell him I’m missing him too. Mrs Lindsay
Hi Mrs Lindsay, this looks great- it’s really helpful to know what they should be doing at their different levels. I can see the Grapes “when I was one” and the Circles and squares numeracy learn its. Everything else that is a picture is coming up as a blank square. I’ve tried on the phone and on the iPad.
I can get the time and the COVID diary with no problem.
Douglas is suffering with the hay fever today but he has managed to do some Tom Gates reading, handwriting, a 10s colouring worksheet and some of the dictionary worksheet. And Nintendo switch and eating!
Mrs Gallie, can you please tell Douglas I hope he feels better soon. Mrs Lindsay
Dear all,
We are aware that some people are unable to see some of the attachments. Mrs Lindsay and I are working hard to resolve this as quickly as possible. Apologies for any inconvenience.
