Groups 2, 3 & 4 Phonics: Week Beginning 15th June

Good Morning Phonics Pupils and Parents,

I hope you’ve had a nice weekend. We’re continuing to follow the Read Write Inc live lessons on YouTube. Please get in touch if you need any help accessing the resources. I’ll also be posting a separate post about ‘Read and Hold a Sentence’ – a new activity for this week.

All lessons are now available from 9.30am. Additional lessons now available for reading High Frequency Words (Red Words) – they have Read Red Word 1, Read Red Words 2, and Read Longer Words 3. There’s a broad range of challenge within these, so if you want additional phonics activities, start with Red Red Words 1 and if your child can read them all, progress onto the next set.

1: Go to Ruth Miskin Training on youtube. Watch Set 1 Speed Sounds, Word Time & Spelling lessons. They haven’t published the schedule for June yet, but anything within Set 2 will be appropriate for your child. If you find the daily sound is one that your child is very confident, feel free to try the Set 3 Sounds and Spelling lesson for that day. All of these lessons are beneficial. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ

Optional Extras

2: Go to the Oxford Owl website (all children should have been given a login). Login first, then come back to this page and click this link.  Set 1 Speed Sounds book – this is an interactive book that lets your child practise the letter formation directly on the screen. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29318.html

3: Staying on the Oxford Owl page, if you scroll down slightly from the Set 1 Speed Sounds, you’ll see individual Speed Sound practice sheets. Select the one that matches each days phonics video. If you have access to a printer, print off the relevant sheet. If you don’t, try and do something similar on a blank piece of paper, or in your child’s home learning jotter. https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-schemes-oxford-levels/read-write-inc-phonics-guide/#set1

4: Practice the Speedy Green Words – https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/29096.html

Hopefully all the links work and you manage to access everything. Finally, there’s a lot of content here. Please don’t feel you have to do it all, just dip in and out of what you can, and what works around your family / work / life balance.

Primary 5: Home Learning 15th June

Please ensure you use the supporting materials to help you, as well as having access to them here you can find them on Teams (P5 2019-20 > General channel > Files > Weekly Resources > 15th June).
Priority tasks should be uploaded into the appropriate Assignment.
Any additional work should be uploaded into your own ‘Personal Folder’ (P5 2019-20 > General channel > Files > Personal Folders).

This week’s home learning grid can be found here: 15th June Home Learning
Literacy*
Reading: Book Review
We hope you have been keeping yourself busy by reading lots of books in your dens during lockdown.

A book review’s purpose is to help people decide whether or not the book would interest them enough to read it. Reviews are a sneak peek at a book, not a summary.

We would love to hear what you have been reading; use the book review template to tell us all about your favourite book.

Book Review instructions (printable)
Book review (mild)
Book Review (extended)

Extra Activity – Design a new front and back cover for your book, including writing a short blurb.

Writing
Use your storyboards, plans & any feedback to write the final part of your story. This has been a few weeks in the making and we are so excited to read the ending to your stories!

Numeracy*
As we approach the end of the school year, a number of use would be gearing up to go on holiday. This year will be very different for us all so we thought it might be nice to take a virtual holiday to Disney World!

If you have access to a device then you can explore using our interactive PDF – DisneyWorld PDF
If not, then worry not! You can use the printable version – Virtual Disney

Health & Wellbeing Resources*
Another thing we are unfortunately missing out on this year is Health Week. So we thought we would have our own Sports Day! There are a number of different physical activities to choose from, you should aim to complete 8 of the activities but can do more.

Activity Instructions – Virtual Sports Day 2020

As well as the physical activities you might also want to prepare the following:

  • Medals (or try these COOKIE medals!)
  • Half time refreshments
  • Flags and bunting

Science – Human Sundial Experiment and Online resource to support (It’s meant to be a bit sunnier by the end of the week, so maybe you can give this a go now)

😉It’s Friday…so it’s P2 Maths Answers!🎲🧮

Hello Primary 2! It’s Friday – yeh!🤗

What have you got planned for the weekend? I have been growing LOTS of daisies and buttercups in my back garden. It looks like a meadow and the bees like it too.🐝🌼🌼🌼🌼🐝 However, I think it might be time to cut the grass this weekend before it’s taller than I am and leave just a little corner for the daisies🌼🌼.

Whatever you do, I hope you have fun and stay safe.😊

Here are the answers to your Maths for this week. I know you’ve probably been waiting all morning for them!!😋

Take care,

Love from Mrs Duff🐘
