Good morning again everyone. Here is what we would like you to work on today. Please also see Week 1 timetable for more details.
Joe Wicks workout is proving to be a hit in getting children warmed up in the morning-tune in at 9am if you can

Literacy
- Our new sound today is ‘ch’.
Discuss where the ‘ch’ sound is made? ( Note for parents it is made with the flat centre of the tongue and is a green colour)
- Can you think of any words that use the ‘ch’ sound?
- Does the ‘ch’ sound come at the start, the middle or the end of these words?
- Slide sounds together to form the following words:
chop, chips, chin, chick, chess, chest, lunch, bunch, bench, torch
- Now write these words and draw a picture to match (extension activity, write sentences.)
- Videos to look at

Numeracy
- Mental maths as on timetable.
- Create your own fact families using numbers within 10 (same format as Monday but using numbers from 1 to 10)
Topic
- Refer to week one grid
- Use or create your own version of the KWL grid to talk about what you already know and would like to know about maps. KWL sheet
- Perhaps you could begin to investigate maps and their uses. You could create your own-be as creative as you like. This can be continued into next week.
Xander is very happy with the fact that two of his favourite words have the “ch” sound
Cheese and lunch
I love it! Hope he enjoyed his cheese if he had it for his snack this morning, not long to wait until he gets his lunch either! You can tell him that I might treat myself to a little bit of chocolate today since it also begins with our new sound.
Daiym is enjoying the PE videos by Joe. He is also enjoying learning new sounds with ch and sh..thanks
I’m so happy to hear our P1s are getting on well with their home learning. I can’t wait to munch on my lunch!
Archie recognisee that he has ch in his name and was very happy. We’ve had a lot of pirates today with a treasure chest in a sentence and drawing a pirate map. We also recreated the sh picture from the sounds list in the work pack, Archie was trying to “sh” his baby brother (it didn’t work!). We’ve also enjoyed a game of hopscotch in the garden.
I can imagine how pleased he was with ch being in his name. Miss Mackay and I were hoping there would be a link to pirates, we know how much the children like them. It’s a pity he couldn’t help to settle his brother, what a great way to practice the sh sound. Great to hear that hopscotch was a hit too. Have a good day.
Orlagh thought of a good “ch” word that had 2 “ch’s” in it – church x
