Good Morning everyone I hope you are all safe and well. Remember it’s April fools day don’t get caught out! A few extra activities for you to try-
Activity 1 – Reading for enjoyment 
All children are now familiar with Oxford Reading Tree books and know the main characters – Biff, Chip, Kipper, Floppy, Mum and Dad. You can access Oxfords free ebook library at http://www.oxfordowl.co.uk .
I hope you enjoy reading the adventures that the children get themselves into. Perhaps the children could try to identify tricky words, attempt to sound out words or talk about the sequence of the story. Enjoy!
Activity 2- Phonics – oo and ee sounds
I have posted 2 reading cards which included words with the ee and oo sound in them. Children could copy them into their jotters and practice reading them, or the sentence could be written on a piece of paper and each word cut out individually, so that the children can put the sentence back together in the correct order.
L.I. to understand that two letters can make 1 sound
S.C. I can blend oo and ee sound with other sounds to read words
S.C. I can create a sentence by putting the words in the correct order.
Activity 3 – Continue to practice your daily 5 (adding and subtracting numbers within 10 mentally) also today try skip counting in 2’s, 10’s and as a challenge in 5’s, it maybe a good idea to have a 100 square so that the children can see the pattern. There are a number of printable 100 squares on online, below is a link to one that maybe useful. If you don’t have access to a printer you can have fun making one.

L.I. to explore numbers within 10 and in some cases beyond 10
S.C. I can add 2 collections or numbers together
S.C. I can take a smaller number away from a bigger number (use concrete materials to support e.g. toys, pens etc.)
S.C. I can skip count in 2’s, 10’s and 5’s
Activity 4 – Make an Easter Card
At the moment it is difficult for us to get to the shops to buy cards etc. so it maybe a nice idea to make some Easter cards and send to people in your family that you won’t be able to meet up with. Handmade cards are always very special! I have put a few ideas below but be as creative as you can! Please send pictures to the school email so that we can all enjoy them. http://deansprimary.westlothian.org.uk
Have a great day, stay safe!
