Let’s use our creativity skills to create and verbally narrate an imaginative story. Your story must have a beginning, middle and an end. You can plan your story using drawings or notes. Use puppets, teddies, drawings or toys to narrate your story and you can even showcase your story to someone at home.

For further extension of partitioning try this game and you can decide which level you would like to do:

If you think you are doing really well with partitioning a number then start to explore how you can use partitioning to help you answer addition calculations like these; you can also make up some of your own.

  1. 26 + 43 =
  2. 44 + 52 =
  3. 65 + 32 =

 

Sleep Advice and support day 2

Yesterday I posted a blog about sleep and shared with you the parent’s presentation for School and Nursery children. As life is ever changing I know there will be routines you will want to continue so I am going to post some ideas to help support your child’s sleep routine during these times.

This will include sleep diaries, sleep routines and activities you could use to continue to support the health and wellbeing of everyone.

Please post any questions or comments in the box below.

Spelling Support Day 3

Good morning everyone,

I hope you are all keeping well. I will continue with our spelling advice and helpful hints today to help you support your child with spelling.

Yesterday I talked a little about mnemonics and so will continue with these today.  This is a great way to support the spelling of tricky words, words which we can find difficult to spell. I have included examples of some of these below:

Some:     Sit    On     My     Elephant

Come:    Climb    On     My     Elephant

Said:        Sam       And      I      Dance

Because:    Billy    Eats      Carrots      And        Usually      Some       Eggs

For the next set of words pretend you are at the dentist:

You:         You       Open      Up

Our:         Open      Up        Richard

Your:         You       Open      Up        Richard

More mnemonics to follow tomorrow.

 

Some other strategies for supporting spelling include:

Does it look right?:   Write the word on a piece of paper and see if it looks right – try it another way

Rules:    Is there a rule you know that could help?

Ex:    Skip+ing =  Skipping remember to double the last letter of there is a single short vowel before it when adding on your suffix

Lok – looked: remember it’s ed

Best guess:   Have a go, underline your guess and then check it later

 

Tomorrow we will continue with mnemonics and move onto writing support also.

Let’s use our art skills to help us understand more about the importance of the front cover on a book.  The front cover contains a lot of information; title, author, illustrator, publisher and a picture that helps you know what the book might be about.

Look at the front cover of a book and see if you can find this information.

Either, copy the front cover of the book as it is OR you can create your own front cover for the book (remembering to include all the relevant information).

This week we are working on addition and you have an addition task to complete on your home learning grid.  Try this pyramid challenge from Count on Us Education to improve your addition skills – it is great fun!  Perhaps you could make your own pyramid challenge for a family member.

 

Remember to post a comment if you need any help. If you were not in school last week and therefore do not have your jotter you can collect this from school at a time that suits you.

Have a great day.
