Good Morning Everyone! I hope you are all well and ready to learn.
Some new learning tasks for you to complete. Enjoy!
Activity 1 – New Sound
L.I. to understand that 3 letters can make 1 sound
S.C. I can say the sound to match the letter shape
S.C. I can blend this sound with other sounds to read words and sentences
S.C. I can write the sound igh
For this sound we go back to Inky’s Vowel House. This sound can be found in the middle part of the house at the top, it lives in the oval window. The story behind this sound is that a sailor lives there and shouts “Aye, Aye captain, “igh” (salute towards the eye) I’ll climb up to look out for land!”
Can your practice saying the sound? It sounds as if you are saying “aye”. Can you use your blending skills to read the words below?
n – igh – t l – igh – t t – igh -t m – igh – t f- igh – t f – l – igh – t
r – igh -t b – r – igh – t s – igh – t h – igh th – igh
How many sentences can you create from the igh words above?
Activity 2 – Reading
L.I. to read words and sentences
S.C. I can use pictures from the text as a clue to help me recognise unfamiliar words
S.C. I can use words that I know in a sentence to help predict what an unfamiliar could be
S.C. I can answer questions about a text
I hope you enjoyed reading and discussing your book Please try to answer the questions below (you can write or discuss the answers with someone at home). Remember to use the question to help form part of the answer.
- What does the stray cat need?
- Which animal has sharp teeth?
- Which animal does the vet put into a deep sleep?
- Which animal was likely to stand on Pat’s feet?
- Can you think of any other animals a vet may help?

Activity 3 – Writing
L.I. to write sentences about a picture
S.C. I can use capital letters, full stops and finger spaces
S.C. I can self-assess my work by reading it over to check it makes sense
For this activity I would like you to go the section in your home learning pack which is titled Writing Activities and find the sheet that says “What can you see at the beach? Look at the picture and write as many sentences as you can about the picture. Try to make your sentences as interesting as you can!
Activity 4 – Number Talks
L.I. to tell the number of objects in a set quickly and without counting them
S.C. I can show the steps I took to solve a problem
S.C. I can explain why I did it the way I did
S.C. I can check my answers and make sure they are correct
Remember Number Talks are all about how you solve a task mentally. For this activity, don’t use anything to help you, just your brain!
How many dots do you see in the 2 frames and how many more to make 20? – Top Tip Remember to use doubles and near doubles to help you.
Doubles/Near doubles: Number Sentences
Can you answer the number sentences below using double/near double strategy?
2 + 2 = 4 + 4 =
2 + 3 = 4 + 3 =
3 + 3 = 3 + 3=
3+ 4 = 3 + 4 =
You could also have a go at the Spring Lines of Symmetry from your learning pack. Something is symmetrical when it is the same on both sides. A shape has symmetry if a central dividing line (a mirror line) can be drawn on it, to show that both sides of the shape are exactly the same.
Activity 5 – Random Acts of Wildness
Today’s challenge
Research any
wildflowers you see- what are they called, what do they look like? How many wildflowers can you find. A good way to draw or record your daily Random Acts of Wildness and how they made you feel might be on a planner such as the one below. Why not try to make one?
I hope you all have a great day, remember tomorrow is Wellness Wednesday so look out for activities from Mrs Wallace and Mrs Stewart.
