Good morning everyone. I hope you have had a good first day with the new home learning grid. If you are having any difficulty with any of the home learning activities please remember to ask your question in the comments section below. We will try to answer your question as soon as we are able to.
Home Learning Grid
How are you getting on with learning the ‘y’ sound? Have you been practising writing this sound? Make sure you keep the tummy on the line and the tail underneath when writing this sound. It should be like a ‘u’ to begin with and include smooth curved lines, not pointy lines. This image shows you start and end points to help.
Literacy

The login details will give you free access without needing to subscribe.
Click on resources at the top. Try the games ‘tricky words truck’ or ‘flashcard speed trial’.
Note for Parents – if your child says the correct word or sound click correct if not click incorrect. I recommend to select ‘pick individual graphemes (sounds)’ or ‘pick individual tricky words’ to select which sounds or words appear in the game.
Numeracy
Today we are focusing on counting in 2’s (skip counting). This is an excellent strategy to use to count quickly and we had started to learn about this as a number talks strategy when we were in school. I know that you all loved this counting in 2’s video:
Here is a trickier counting by 2’s song which goes all the way to 100!
I have attached 2 different counting by 2’s worksheets below. If you have a printer at home you may wish to print these out and complete or you could ask an adult to copy into your jotter. One of these worksheets counts in 2’s to 20 and another beyond 60!
Enjoy and good luck!
Have a lovely day P1 and I’m looking forward to seeing how you are getting on with the extra activities today.
