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!

When they had completed their reading task, the children were asked to get creative and make skeletons using materials they could find around the house.
Here are some homemade Funnybones characters.
Another great week of home learning!

Hello! Are you enjoying your learning this week?
The story of the week is one of my favourites.
Here are today’s activities:
Phonics
Let’s revisit the trigraph air.
Words to write:
air fair pair hair
Phonics Activity: Write the sentence. (Adult to read aloud.)
She has fair hair.
Remember to use your phoneme fingers to segment each word. There is one ‘tricky’word-can you spot it?
Literacy
Story of the week: What the ladybird heard by Julia Donaldson
Listen to the story again. Join in with the animal noises.
In the story the baddies make a map of the farmyard so they can work out how to steal the cow.
Make your own map and label all the places and animals on your map.
Use your map to describe where things are and give directions to your adult to get to the cow; eg turn, next to, under, over etc.
Maths-teen numbers
For tips on how to help your child with maths, this Cbeebies video is very good.
Play this game.
- Write the numbers 1-10 on large scraps of paper. Place them around the floor.
- Your child chooses a number to stand on.
- They must do actions to match that number.
- E.g. If they stood on 6, they might do eight bunny hops.
- Now they choose a different number to stand on.
- Then you have a turn
Number 12
Let’s learn all about the number 12.
Challenges
Can you nod your head 12 times?
Find 12 toys and put them in 2 groups. Can you draw the two groups and record what you find?
