Our focus book for this week is ‘Mix, Mix, Mix’. Re- read the book with the help of an adult.
Can you retell the story in your own words to an adult? You could even draw a story map of the order of the story to help you sequence what happens in the story. Below is an example of a story map for Little Red Riding Hood. This is a great visual way to help you recall the order of events in a story and a fun activity if you like drawing.
If you don’t have access to the reading grid, I have attached a copy below.

Phonics
The new sound focus this week is ‘w’ which is a red sound (made using our lips) and it is stretchy like our snake. Yesterday I sent you on a word hunt for the sound and asked you to make the letter shape using any materials you found around your home. Today lets have a go at using the sound to make some words. Use your purple jotters. Have an adult sound out the letters and can you listen and slide them together to make a word.
w – e – b w – ee – d w – i – n – d w- i – n
w – e – t w – e – n – t w- a – g w – a – g – o – n
Then have a go at writing the word on your own and draw a picture to go with the word. Remember to listen carefully to each of the sounds in the word and make sure you form each letter carefully and rest it on the line.
Here is our favourite friend Geraldine again to remind us all about the letter ‘w’.

Maths – Money
I hope some of you managed to catch the money lesson from Natwest yesterday over on Facebook live.
One of my little boys favourite game is to play shops. To help you get used to using different amounts of money why not set up your own shop role play area at home or in your garden.
You could decide what your shop is going to sell and collect lots of items and think about how much you would like to sell them for (pretend of course!) You can make price tags for your items and then invite members of your family to come shopping. You could even design signs for your shop.
Here are some images to give you some ideas.
Have an adult help you with writing out the prices. Don’t forget to use £ and p!
I would love to see some pictures of your shops if you decide to give it a go. Get an adult to take a picture and email it to our school office.

Road safety.
Do you know the green cross code?
It is very important that we know how to keep safe when crossing the road. Below is a very short clip outlining a few key messages for you to learn to help you stay safe when crossing the road with an adult.
Once you have watched the clip can you share with an adult 3 of the most important actions you can take when crossing the road.
Good luck with all of your learning tasks for today. I hope you find then fun and interesting. I will be back tomorrow with some more ideas for your learning. Enjoy the rest of your day.
