Happy Thursday Everybody!
Good morning Everyone! It’s Thursday and nearly the start of a holiday weekend, don’t forget that Monday and Tuesday are holidays for you all. Here are some additional home learning ideas for you all today, remember you can use the Home learning packs too!

Access this weeks’ book (mix, mix, mix)and re-read with an adult.

Choose an activity from your guided reading grid (found in home learning pack 2) to use with the the Oxford Owls ebook ‘Mix, Mix, Mix’, which we have been focusing on this week.
Are there any words which you are finding tricky? Why not play the ‘roll, read and find’ game with an adult. There is a copy of the game in pack 1 but I will attach a copy below just in case.
Phonics/Art and Design
So this week we have been exploring the letter w, with word hunts, handwriting practise and spelling activities. Today I would like us to do something a little more creative. Firstly, think about the letter w and all the things which start with that letter. How many can you think of? Can you make a list of them all?
Choose one to word to create a picture of or even a model of (if you are feeling ambitious!) Here are some ideas below for inspiration.
I would love to see any pictures you make so please, if you can email them into the school office, they really make my day!

I have added another game to our Home learning section of educationcity, it’s called ‘Wishing Well’.. you have to identify all the words beginning with w, easy peasy! Good luck.
Numeracy and Maths
I thought I would pop this youtube clip up for you to practise counting forwards and backwards to 100. Remember it’s Mrs Swanson’s favourite!!
Daily 10.
For today’s daily 10 I thought we could say ten more. For example if the question was 30, ten more is 40. Have a go, we have done lots of counting in tens in class so with a bit of practise writing the tens number we should get the hang of it.
1. 20 2. 70 3. 10 4. 0 5. 60 6. 30 7. 80 8. 40 9. 50 10. 90
Money
Today I thought I might share a fun game to play at home to help you learn a little more about money. Hopefully some of you have set up your own little shop to play in and of course there are a number of worksheets in the home learning pack too.
For this game you will need:
- A pile of loose coins of different values
- A hoop/box or something to throw the coins into
This game is called Coin Toss and there are lots of learning opportunities to teach you all about money and coins in particular.
- Sit back and throw coins into the hoop, as you throw them in shout out the name of the coin ‘ in goes 5p’ etc..
- You can sort all the coins that made it into the hoop – by value/colour shape etc
- You can talk about the size and colour of the coins and what makes them different
- You could work with an adult to add up all the coins that made it into the hoop
- Once you have calculated the total you could chat about what you could afford to buy with that amount
You could even go one step further and talk about things we need like food, water clothes versus things we want like sweeties and toys and how we need money to buy all of these things.
Yoga Time
During this time at home it’s important we take time to relax and do the things we enjoy doing. I know that any time we have used ‘cosmic yoga’ in the classroom we have all thoroughly enjoyed it. I have left a link below…namaste!
I hope you all have a lovely holiday weekend and I will be back here on Wednesday to share more learning ideas. Mrs Lockhart will be posting here for you tomorrow. Enjoy the well earned break.
