This version has some new and interesting vocabulary, can you work out what these words mean

magnificent, flabbergasted, splendid, scuttle

Numeracy

Look for different ways to splat the numbers

odd, even, in fives or tens, try starting with the number 1 then splat all of the numbers in the column all the way down to 91-can you see a pattern?

Have a lovely weekend, we’d love to hear from our pupils-please leave us  a message using ‘Leave a reply’ telling us what you’ve enjoyed doing this week, or perhaps something you’ve missed. Mrs McKay is missing school lunch and Miss Mackay is missing sharpening pencils!

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.

Numeracy

  • To help you with your counting you could make your own counting stick or pick one of your soft toys to be a swinging counting buddy  (just like Mrs McKay’s counting monkey).
  • Create your own linked fact families for numbers 1,2,3,4 and 5 (you will be able to write 2 addition and 2 subtraction stories for each number (apart from 4) just like we discussed when we made our number robots).
