Hello everyone!
I hope you all managed to have some fun whilst you were stuck at home over the weekend. Only one day of home learning and then we will all be back at school tomorrow. Here is what we are doing today…
Maths
This week we are learning about taking away. Sometimes we call this taking away and sometimes we call it subtraction – it’s up to you what you choose to call it because you will hear both ways as you go through school.
To start off with, can you have a go at counting in 5s up to 50 and counting in 2s up to 20 like we do each morning?
Today I would like you to have a go at working out the number sentences below. Please use something that you can move around like counters, such as Lego, beads, pasta etc.
To start off with, look at the first number and get that many counters. Then look at the second number and take that many counters away. How many are you left with? That’s your answer! You can print off the sheet and write the answers down, or just work practically by reading the number sentences off the screen. Up to you!
Letters and Sounds
First, can you have a look at your sound mat and see if you can say all of your Phase 2 and 3 sounds and tricky words just by looking at them?
Today we are going to look at ccvc words. Can you read the word below?
pot
Can you write this word down, but turn it into the word ‘spot’? What do you need to add to turn it into this word? Where do you need to add it?
Then, have a go at changing the rest of the words below.
Write ‘top’ – change to ‘stop’
Write ‘kip’ – change to ‘skip’
Write ‘rip’ – change to ‘trip’
Write ‘rom’ – change to ‘from’
Write ‘lan’ – change to ‘plan’.
Literacy
We have got some animals in our class that are busy going through a few changes, can I remember what they are? They’re caterpillars! Today we are going to learn all about their life cycle.
Watch the video below to help you understand a little bit more about each of the stages.
Then, I would like you to use the sheet below to order the stages of the butterfly life cycle. You can use the sheet to cut and stick the pictures, or just draw your own version of the butterfly life cycle.
Once you have done this, please can you label each stage of the life cycle using the words egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. Remember to use your word builder and sound mat to help you sound out each word.
Story time!
Activity
I thought you might like to have a go at some butterfly crafts today. There are a few pictures below with some ideas on, you could pick one of these or come up with your own idea. Totally up to you!
I hope you all have a lovely day. Just so you are all aware, I won’t be in the classroom tomorrow, but I will be in school throughout the day. So don’t worry when I’m not there in the morning!
