Good morning everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend despite the stormy weather 🙂
To wake you all up this morning, try dancing along with this Go Noodle video:
Literacy
In class we have learned about ‘magic e’ for spelling and reading. (The e at the end makes the first vowel sound strong – we hear the letter name rather than the sound.)
Watch this video to remind yourself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3oA4wfUBak
- In your blue jotter I would like you to write down the 5 vowel sounds at the top. (a e i o u)
- Next write some 3 letter words that use each of the vowels as their middle sound. For example:
hat
pet
sit
pot
tub
3. Can you add magic e to the words you have chosen? Some will make real words, others silly words! Write down the ones that make real words. For example:
hat ——>Â hate
sit ——-> site
tub ——–> tube
Repeat this until you have made a few magic e words successfully.
4. Use your words to practise writing sentences, remembering full stops and capital letters.
(Some children may find step 3 challenging, so focus instead on steps 1, 2 and 4.)
Maths – 2D Shape
Revise the properties of the shapes below by playing the game here:

If you continue through the levels in the game you will also revise 3D shapes which will be our focus tomorrow.
If you have difficulty accessing the above game, try this instead:

R has done very well with her school work this morning.
Literacy – R made a list of 3 letter words using the vowel as the middle sound
A 5 words, E 4 words, I 5 words, O 5 words and U 5 words.
She then added the magic e and made 10 proper 4 letter words she the wrote 7 sentences.
Maths- unfortunately the first game wasn’t supported on her tablet but she has had fun making different 2d shapes using the 2nd link
J loves the Trolls video. For his sentences he came up with the words – mat, met, kit, mop and tub so managed to make up 4 Sentences. We could only get the 2nd link for the Shapes, which he enjoyed having a shot at.
J has also completed more of the Sumdog Task this morning.
Fantastic!
Thanks for letting me know about the link – I did worry the flash would be a problem for some devices. Well done for trying the other one!
Have a lovely afternoon,
Mrs Harding
Wow, what a lot of words! Well done practising magic e.
I’m glad you managed the second link, I did worry about the first one not working for some devices!
Have a lovely afternoon,
Mrs Harding
