Good Morning Everybody!
Good morning boys and girls, I hope you enjoyed the lovely long weekend and you were able to relax and play outside. I hope you are ready for this week’s home learning tasks. You should now have access to another home learning pack so can work through the worksheets and I will keep posting additional activities to go alongside the work in the pack. Let’s get started.
Reading
Using the website – https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page
Username deans12 password mrsstevenson
Choose the book – ‘The Toy’s Party‘
Can you make a prediction about what you think might happen in the story? Use the front cover and title as a clue, you could even have a sneak at the blurb on the back.
Read the book carefully with the help of an adult.
What did you like/dislike about the story? Would you change anything about the story if you were the author? Have you ever made a mess like Kipper and got into trouble?
Have a go at the 2 play activities included with the book. These focus on answering some questions about the story and putting the events of the story into the correct order. Good luck and have fun! Don’t forget if you want an extra challenge, choose an activity from your guided reading home learning grid.
Finally, have a go at ‘Whack a Mole‘ – you have to read both the words and decide which word is a real word and which word is a nonsense word. https://wordwall.net/resource/1394292/phonics-cvc-words/real-word-wack-mole
Phonics – /ch/
Last week we focused on the new sound /sh/. This week let’s learn all about /ch/. Here’s Geraldine to help introduce the sound.
How many other words can you think of which contain this sound? Can you find any items in your house which have this sound?
Let’s have a good at sounding out and spelling some /ch/ words. Have an adult read these words to you, can you listen to each of the sounds used to make the word and write them down. Sometimes ch might be the first sound or the last sound, don’t get tricked out. You can draw a picture to go with each word.
ch – o – p ch – i – p ch – i – n
ch – i – ck ch -e – ss ch – e – st
Finally, can you think of a silly sentence which contains as many ch words as possible? Have a go at writing it down.
You can have a go at writing my example if you can’t think of your own one, have an adult read it out and you can copy it down.
The chick eats the chips and the cheese from the chip shop.
Good Luck!
Numeracy and Maths
Daily Ten
We have been focusing on finding ten more using a 100 square. Now let’s try our hand at finding ten less. You can use a 100 square for support or maybe you can challenge yourself to have a go without. So remember when we say less we are taking away and the number will get smaller.
Are there any tricks to finding ten less? You can count backwards ten places, what do you notice about the number? Which number changed and which number stayed the same? Now have a go for yourself. Let’s use 10’s numbers today to help us get the hang of it.
- 60 2. 90 3. 70 4. 100 5. 10 6. 20 7. 80 8. 30 9. 50 10. 40
Subitising
Below I have added a link to a subitising activity. Just like in our number talks, can you say how many dots you can see without counting. Have an adult pause the clip at each dot pattern. You can copy the pattern down and can you make up a calculation to say how you see the pattern? Remember there are lots of different ways to do this!
Health and Wellbeing – Relationships
Last we we explored the relationships we have within our own families, this week I would like us to look at our friendships. Below is a link to one of our favourite Fischy music songs ‘Snorty Bull’ – have a little sing along, can you teach somebody the actions that we learned in class?
To have good friends, we need to be good friends, What do you do to be a good friend? Can you think of something you have done lately?
Have a watch of this short clip from Toy Story 3. Think about how is shows ‘friendship’ and share some of the things you notice with an adult. What makes Andy and Woody such good friends?
Think about what makes you a good friend. Complete the sentence, I am a good friend because…… and draw a picture of you and your friends.
One last task to get your creative juices flowing. Mrs Anderson has asked for your help. She is working on a project about teaching yoga in schools, she needs to come up with a fun logo and slogan. That’s where you come in. I have attached below the format she would like you to use, there is also a little bit more information about a prize for the best entries!! So get thinking!
Good luck with all your home learning tasks today. I will be back on the blog on Thursday with some more home learning activities. Enjoy all of your Well being Wednesday activities!
