I hope that you all enjoyed your learning yesterday and are slowly getting into a routine while being at home. There are some fantastic websites available so please keep checking the website blog as I will keep adding to it as and when I find anymore.

This morning to wake you up why not join in with Joe Wicks PE lesson on youtube.

1. Phonics: Today let’s learn a new sound. Our sound is ou-Shout it out. Please watch one of our favourites, ‘Geraldine the giraffe’ learn this sound on Youtube:

Like yesterday, now that you have watched this short video, go on a sound hunt around the house, what can you find? Following this, read a story of your child’s choice and see if today’s sound is in the story. How many times can you hear the sound? How many times can you see the sound? You could then practise your letter formation.

Ready for a further challenge: Remember that you could have a go at writing words containing the ou sound such as out, shout and loud. You might like to turn this into a spelling challenge if you feel your child is ready for this.

2. Maths and PE: Today we want to keep you moving. Create your own number hunt. Write the numbers 1-20 on paper and hide these numbers around the house. Once your child has found them all they could have a go at ordering these numbers. They may find the teen numbers tricky. You could see which numbers they struggle to identify (prioritise any numbers under 10) and you could play the old party game “Four corners”. Put 1 number in each corner of your house. Put some music on and have a boogie! When the music stops the child has to chose a corner/number and if the number that they are stood at is called out then they are out of the game. You could play this with siblings and see who wins or you could play this child v parent. How many rounds can you win before your number is called.

3. Sum Dog: I am so glad that so many of you enjoyed using Sum Dog yesterday. If you haven’t yet logged on, please take some time today to get your child logged in and have a go at the challenges. If you’ve already logged see if you can better your scores from yesterday.
