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 the literacy task of rhyming words this week? I have found a video to help you learn more about rhyming words. There is a little challenge in this video because you need to think of rhyming words too.

Literacy

Today is set to be one of the last really hot and sunny days for a while. Somewhere in your garden, or in your house, can you create a reading den? Put something nice and comfortable in your den to sit in and maybe some of your favourite soft toys too. Spend some time relaxing in your reading den and read one of your favourite stories to your soft toys. It doesn’t matter if you can’t read all the words, use the pictures in your book to tell the story too. Have fun!

Numeracy

A sumdog challenge has been set for you. This challenge is called ‘Numbers’. The skills set in this challenge will link in with activities from our learning grid this week about missing numbers and ordering numbers too. The challenge will begin at 9am today and finish at 12 noon on Friday. Have fun!

Hello boys and girls,

I hope you have enjoyed the sunny weekend and that you are excited for another super week of learning. I am so proud of you all for working so hard!

Here is the weekly grid you will need for this week.

I have updated the grid below to contain the Gruffalo sheet that was missing.  It is at the very bottom of the grid so you need to scroll all the way down.

As always, please get in touch if you have any questions.

Have an excellent week,

Mrs Davenport

Happy Friday everyone!

This week we are using The Fist Of Five to assess our learning (five fingers mean you have fully understood your task and feel confident with the skill, four fingers means you are nearly there perhaps just a little more practise needed, three fingers you needed some support but then were able to do it, two fingers you needed support to do most of it, one finger you needed support and would still need support in the future with this type of task)

You can either show your score to someone at home or if you have recorded work in your jotter, draw a circle and put little lines coming out of it to represent your fingers.

I have completed the ai and oa spelling activity below. How did you do with this activity? What first of five would you give for your understanding of the ai and oa sound?

I have shared my free writing story with you. I decided to write a story about swimming in the sea because it is one of my favourite things to do when I am on holiday. Can you spot any mistakes in my story?

I tried to include all of the success criteria in my story too:

• A capital letter at the start and a full stop at the end of every sentence
• Use at least one conjunction (joining word eg and, because)
• Use at least one adjective (describing word eg a colour)
• Make sure you form your letters correctly

Did you manage to include all of the criteria in your story? Show your fist of five for this.

Number Talks

I looked at the 2 jars for number talks and have shared my strategies with you. Did you use the same strategies as me or something different?

Counting on is a very good number talks strategy. This episode of numberjacks explains counting on well. Why don’t you watch it:

How do you feel about using the counting on strategy for number talks? Show your fist of five for counting on.

The weekly grid for next week will be getting posted this afternoon to allow parents time to prepare for the following week.

Have a lovely weekend,

Mrs Davenport

 

Good morning,

It is lovely to be back again. Mrs Docherty has told me how  hard you have been working Monday and Tuesday. Well done! I will be getting through all my e-mails today at some point and responding to you all.

Here are your links for this week.

Week 8 Week beginning 25th May 2020

What Is In My Net

Have you managed to spot any birds yet?

I have had a lot of Jackdaw birds visit my garden.  At first I thought they were small crows but then I researched some information and found out about what makes them different from a crow.

Literacy

If you want to do a little more practise on ai and oa use the following resources.

Here is a video link for a clip about the sound ai.

What oa words can you make using these beginning sounds, the oa middle sound and then the end sounds.

Maths

To continue to practise your estimation skills try this simple Pasta Game (you do not need to use pasta, you could use lego bricks, sweets, coins, counters etc.)

Pasta Estimation

Resources – 2 players (or more), Bag of pasta

• Using a bag of pasta, put your hand into the bag and take a handful out
• With your eyes closed spread out your handful on the floor and then open your eyes and estimate how many pieces you have (give yourself a short time limit to do this otherwise you will end up counting and we want to estimate first!)
• Once you have estimated, then count to get an accurate answer
• How close were you? However many your estimate was away from the accurate answer then this is your score
• The next player then repeats this process
• Whoever has the lowest score at the end is the winner
• You can decide how many times you repeat these steps in one game
• GOOD LUCK!

Have a lovely day.

Mrs Davenport

Good morning P1!

I am so happy to be back to share your Friday learning activities with you! Mrs Docherty told me how much she enjoyed sharing your learning with you this week.

UPDATE: If you have time could you fill out the form below. Parents: please type what your child says in their own words. Thank you.

This week we will continue to use our growth mindset as we self-assess our activities for this week.

This video will explain the positive effects of a growth mindset:

Literacy

I tried to spell the words at the end of the ‘wh power point presentation’. Have a look at how I got on; did I spell all the words correctly?

whel

whip

wiz

wen

whihc

where

What questions did you think of to ask some characters in the Gruffalo? I picked 2 questions for the mouse and 2 for the Gruffalo.

Did I use the question mark correctly at the end of my questions?

Gruffalo	Mouse
Have you hurt yourself with the spikes on your back?	What animal were you scared of the most.
Can you see in the dark with your orange eyes?	Would you like scrambled snake or owl ice cream the best?

Numeracy

This week you had to find half of 4, 6, 8 and 10.

Have a look at the towers I made to find half. Can you check to see if you got these problems correct?

 

Number Talks

How did you get on with your number talks this week? How did you see the 10 frame? I counted in 2’s, 2, 4, 6, 8 and then I saw that there were 2 missing and I know that if a 10 frame is full there would be 10 spots, so I wrote a number story 10 – 2 = 8

For the rekenrek I looked at the 2 different colours, I saw that there were 5 red and 2 white so I wrote an addition story 5 + 2 = 7. Did you do this a different way from me?

My 2 dogs said thank you for helping them sort out their dog biscuits fairly!

Outdoor Learning

How did you do with your Gruffalo hunt? I didn’t manage to find a Gruffalo but I did use my senses to spot some other things. Here is what I found. Have I matched up my findings to the correct senses?

I hope you have a lovely weekend. Mrs Docherty will be back on our blog on Monday and Tuesday so I look forward to catching up with you all again on Wednesday!

Mrs Davenport

Good morning, I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and you are ready for another fun week of learning. I have attached the weekly grid here for you:

Mrs Davenport

 

I found this lovely video last night called ‘I Am With You’ and thought I would share it with you all today (and Olaf always makes me smile!)

Self-Assessment

We are going to use our Growth mindset this week to help us self-assess our learning.

If you are ‘stuck’ or need help remember the importance of the word YET!

“I can’t do this…yet!”

This means we never give up and keep trying!  Watch this Sesame Street video about “The Power Of Yet”.

Literacy

We have been trying hard to learn the new sound qu.  Have a look at these words and decide, which ones have I spelled correctly and which ones have a mistake.

qeen

quack

quic

Here are some of my examples of alliteration;

Ten tigers tiptoeing to tea.

Seven sharks swimming slowly.

Numeracy

These were the questions asked this week;

1. Share 8 sweets equally between 4 people.
2. Share 9 sweets equally between 3 people.
3. Share 10 sweets equally between 3 people.

I drew pictures to help me work out the answers.  Drawing pictures is a great strategy to use to help you solve a problem.

• I worked out that each person would get 2 sweets each.

• I worked out that each person would get 3 sweets each.

• I worked out that each person would get 3 each and 1 would be left over.

I hope you had fun this week and learned something new.

Have a great weekend and don’t forget it will be Tuesday next week that the weekly grid will be posted because Monday is a holiday.

Mrs Davenport

Good morning everyone

It has been excellent to see so many of you logging into sumdog this week to complete the challenge. Remember that your challenge ends on Thursday at 3pm.

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.

Literacy

This week in our reading and listening and talking activities we were learning about the difference between fiction books and non-fiction books. Did you speak to an adult about the difference between these types of books? Watch the video below to listen to the differences and to play a game about the differences between fiction and non-fiction.

Numeracy

This week we have been learning about halves. Can you use these pictures to split each whole picture into half?

It has been lovely to hear from so many of you this week. Keep up the hard work, have a great day.

Mrs Davenport

Literacy

Here is some handwriting practise.  Look at how to start both the capital and lower case letters.  Can you see that that lower case q bumps its chin on the line.  Remember capital Q should be the size of the whole space between the bottom and top line on your page.

Numeracy

Can you help me please?

I bought a packet of biscuits which has 12 biscuits in it.

I want to share them between my family, there are 4 of us.
