1. PE with Joe Wicks—Start your day with a fun workout (https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1/videos )
2. Phonics: Please continue to practise one of those tricky sounds that you identified last week.
For the rest of this week I would like you to focus on recognising the tricky words: I, the, to and me.
There are many fun activities that you could do to help your child to build their familiarity with these tricky words such as:
· Creating a bingo board using these words along with other 3/4 letter words. This could be a fun and competitive game for the family.
· Reading and spotting these words in stories
· Practise writing these words in fun ways: Using squeezy bottles of water outside, to write the words on the floor painting the words, gluing and sticking objects over the written word, icing biscuits and adding choc chips to spell out the words.
· Play the game 4 corners either inside or outside (always a fun game but it does need a few participants).
· Creating the words using Lego.
· Using your Purple mash login and creating a tricky word picture using 2Paint.
3. Sum Dog: Today we have a new challenge to complete, comparing numbers to 10. This challenge will be available to use until Friday.
4. Home reading: I have been busy trying to find some suitable home reading books that you can access online. It seems as though Oxford Owl have released many free online reading books. You will need to sign up here: https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/
and then follow this link:
This should take you to the Green level reading books that match to our Read Write Inc scheme in school. Please start reading the Green books to re-build your child’s confidence when blending sounds. Following the green books you can move onto the purple books and then moving onto pink. Any difficulties just email me.. I hope this works it will be a great way to keep the children reading books at the correct level!
*** Keep saving some toilet roll tubes, cereal boxes, bottle lids etc. ready for Friday’s learning challenge.***
