Good morning! I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather.
Here are today’s home learning activities.
In addition to these activities, there are lots of good lessons and ideas on BBC Bitesize.
The lessons begin from Year 1 but some of the games and ideas look to be suitable for younger children. They are even showing Numberblocks!

Phonics
Practise your letter formation in your home learning book.
Remember all the letters start on the line with a lead-in!
Words to write:
chip food queen ship
Please read the words to your child. They can then write them in their home learning book.
Phonics activity:
Can you write a sentence including one of the above words?
Remember that at this stage we are looking for children’s phonetic attempts at words. It is important your child grows into an independent learner. Encouraging your child to write the words as they sound rather than always spelling correctly is important. It encourages the children to use their own skills – rather than copy from an adult.

Maths 1 less
Count backwards from 20 using the song.

Oh no! The song seems to have forgotten the number 0! We talk lots about the number 0 being nothing but still being a number. Try to sing the number 0 when singing the song.
Solve the number problems.
- I have 5 fish fingers and I eat one. How many do I have left?
- There are 10 children in the park. One child goes home. How many children are left in the park?
- There are 14 chickens in the pen. 1 chicken escapes! How many chickens are left?
- I have 19 Easter eggs. I decide to give one to a friend. How many Easter eggs do I have left?
Draw the number stories. Can you make your own story?
Extra activity
I am really enjoying going outside and walking.
Have you noticed how the trees and plants are changing?
Can you draw or paint a picture to show that spring is here?
Have a lovely day!
