Hello
I hope you’ve all had a great weekend. I went on a long bike ride to Harewood and Eccup. I saw lots of red kites and some rabbits.
What did you do? Let me know. I love receiving all your photos.

Today’s learning:
Phonics
Practise your sounds.
Oxford Owls is free at the moment.
Words to read:
Use your ‘phoneme fingers’ or point to the sound buttons to help. How many sounds are in these words?
Words to write:
scoop, frost, street, blend
Phonics Activity:
Write the sentence (Adult to read aloud);
I can smell the fresh green grass.
If your child needs more practise with blending use Letters and Sounds on youtube.
Please remember that whilst phonics is important to help children learn to read, there are many other things you can do to help your child during this time.
- Read to your child-don’t forget the importance of this.
- When reading with your child, choose more challenging texts, with more unknown vocabulary and concepts.
- Ask lots of questions about lots of different kinds of words. Where have they heard a word before? Can they think of a similar word ? How do words relate to real-life? For more tips on how to support your child go to OxfordOwl
Literacy- Letter Writing
Write a letter or send a picture to a family member or friend you are unable to see at the moment. You could tell them about the learning you have been doing and what other activities you’ve been up to. Remember to include: finger spaces, capital letters, full stops and to check your writing!
You could then put it in an envelope and go on a walk to post it in a post box.
Maths-Counting
Lay number cards 1-12 in line.
Ask your child to turn around while you swap two numbers, eg 12 and 2
Ask your child to count along the line and tell you when they reach a wrong number. Ask them to count on to the next wrong number. Can they sy which two numbers have been swapped?
Number Story
Use toys at home to make a number story.
E.g. “First there were 6 teddies having a picnic. Then 3 more teddies came along to join them. Now there are 9 teddies altogether. Use the template below to record your learning.
Challenge
Can you think of a number story using subtraction?
E.g. “First there were 10 people on the bus. Then 2 people got off at the next stop. Now there are 8 people on the bus.”
Extra activity
Set up and run a shop.
Have a great day!
