Good morning boys and girls.
Today for literacy your going to do your daily tasks.
Can you practise the words on your word wall with an adult. How quickly can you say them? How many new words do you know?
Can you play a game of pairs with some of your words from your word wall. Pick 8 words, you will need to make two sets of words so that you can play the game. You can cut up squares of paper and write the words on them.
Turn all the words over so you can not see them, take turns to turn two cards over, saying the tricky word you reveal. If you match the words then you keep the cards. How many pairs can you get?
ng sound – I have created a challenge on sumdog for you to play to practise spelling words with the ng sound in them. Have a try! I will log into sumdog and see how well you are doing.
Reading – sign into oxford owl and read Big Bad Bug again. Can you make a new front cover for the book?

MATHS
This morning please can you watch this video to remind you about telling the time.
Now can you please complete a time worksheet from your home learning pack – chose whichever one you would like to do. Ask an adult to check it for you.
Now can you teach someone in your family what you know. Teach them about the hands of the clock and where the big hand and little hand should be pointing to at different times. You can also teach them about digital time if you can.
If you can – practice counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Try and go as far as you can. You could then try to start from different numbers to make it trickier, If you want a challenge, then try to count backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s. Here is a 100 square to help you if you need it. Good luck! Mrs Reid

Today we would like you to do a bit of writing to finish of our topic on people who help us in the community. We would like you to tell us about three different services you now know about. As a reminder we have learned about the police, the fire service, lifeboats, the library, doctors and nurses.

Here are a few example :
The fire service put out fires.
The doctor helps me when I’m sick.
