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, painting, 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. PE: Today I would like you to continue to practise your ball control skills. If you have access to a bat and ball, you could practise striking a ball using the bat. If not, use what you have, be that a bounce ball/basket ball or football. Shuttlecocks for a game of badminton are a great way to practise overarm throwing too. If you don’t have any of these available, you could still practise throwing and catching… just find an old scarf, scrunch it up and practise your catching skills.

4. Sum Dog: Remember that you can still practise our second challenge this week, comparing numbers to 10. This challenge will be available to use until Friday.
