Hello again everyone, can’t wait to see your “Back to School” alphabets. Were sure you came up with some great ideas!!

Now it’s time to relax and listen to today’s story, “The Library Lion” by Michelle Knudsen.

https://www.storylineonline.net/books/library-lion/      

Let’s get active and count as we join in with counting to 100.

  • P2 children – recall and record all  number bonds for 10 (if children manage this then try to extend this activity by identifying number bonds for 20)
  • P3 and P4 children – recall and record all number bonds for 20

Try to use everyday objects from around your home e.g. cubes, counters, lego, small toys etc. to  help if you need it.

Finish off by playing the Number Bonds for 10 game and then increase the target number to 20 if you are feeling confident.

Thank you for your efforts this morning.

Remember to check back in after lunch time.

Good morning everyone!

We hope you all survived your first day back at school. It was lovely to be able to welcome you all back!

Let’s begin this morning’s Literacy session by singing and moving with this alphabet song.

  • Practise singing or saying the alphabet with a family member.
  • Next, create a picture grid of a “Back to School” alphabet by either drawing a picture or writing a word for each letter of the alphabet that you might associate with returning to school
  • e.g  A – art, B – break , C – classroom etc.

 

  • To finish off, have a go at this fun alphabet game. You will need to be on your toes as it is very fast. Good luck!!
