Literacy – creating lists with headings

Buenos dias, P2/3!  This is our TT for week 8:

I hope you are managing to enjoy the sunny weather.  Hopefully you’ve revised or learned some new French words/phrases and some new Spanish words/phrases.  We thought, with the weather getting better, you might be able to pretend you’re going on holiday.

Today, I’d like you to pretend you’re planning a holiday.  You could use the most popular destination from your Monday/Tuesday maths lessons or you could choose a different dream location.

I’d like you to make a list of items to take in your holiday suitcase using headings.  Before you start your own list, read the one I’ve started.  There are four pictures at the bottom.  These are items I’ve still to sort under the headings.  Can you sort them for me?  You can then use this template to help you write your own list or you can write in your jotter or on paper.

Packing a holiday suitcase

Once you’ve done this, why not brush up on your languages (using the grids below) before tomorrow and Friday’s literacy tasks:

Along with the information from the ELC that is being posted weekly there are some other things you can do with your child to help them develop literacy, numeracy and independent skills as they get ready to move into Primary One.

• Play “Ispy” but spell out the word instead of just saying a letter  e.g p-e-n and see if your child can slide the sounds together to make the word. Make sure you use letter sounds rather than alphabet names for this activity.
• Point out environmental print that they see around them (signs on shops, brand names on tins or cereal) Can they recognise any of the letters?
• Share a picture book with them and ask your child to tell you what is happening using the pictures, what do they think will happen next? What do they like or not like about the story?
• Encourage them to draw and add detail – drawing and mark making develops writing skills
• Talk with your child about their interests, drawings and games
• Play dice games – help your child to recognise the dots on a dice by counting them first to learn the pattern for each number
• Encourage your child to use their fingers to show numbers, can they show them in different ways? e.g – five can be made with two fingers on one hand and three on another or four on one hand and one on another.
• Count aloud numbers from 0-10 and beyond. Count forwards and backwards together. Stop and start on different numbers
• To build independence support your child to get changed independently, open snacks, zip up coats and put on shoes.

All of the information above and previous blog posts regarding uniform and equipment for school will also be e-mailed later in June to families joining P1 at Uphall
