Monday 18th May

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Today we will be doing Maths, Literacy and Letters and Sounds.

 

Maths:

This week we will be recapping our addition and subtraction skills. Today we will be concentrating on addition. You may want to begin today by counting forwards and backwards to 20 to get your head back into counting in ones. Then I have some online games for you to play, there are a couple to choose from. The first is nice and easy and only goes up to 10 and has pictures for you to count to help you work out the answers, it might be best to start with this one.

The second is a little trickier as there are no pictures to count, so I would suggest you have some practical resources around you to help you work out the answers. Counters, beads, Lego, pasta even little bits of paper will work for this. There are a few different levels so choose which suits you best!

Have fun!

 

Literacy:

We’re going to continue doing some work on the Gingerbread Man this week. I hope you all enjoyed your baking last week – I saw lots of very delicious looking treats! Today I would like you to think about what each character might be thinking during the story and write a speech bubble for them. You can just write one speech bubble, or all of them, you can write it all yourself, or share the writing with your grown up – it really doesn’t matter. As always, do whatever is going to work best for you and your household!

Letters and Sounds:

Something a little bit different today – thank you to Eva’s mum for sharing this idea!

Below are a selection of emojis and some questions about them. You will need to think about the sounds in each of them to try and work out the answers. I will be posting the answers to these later on in the afternoon, so no chance for cheating sorry! Hope you have fun with this activity – it’s a good chance for working together to try and work out the answers, you could even get older siblings involved. Click on the image to make it larger – hopefully you can see all the pictures clearly.

 

Have a lovely day!
