Tuesday 24th March
Good Morning Class One. I hope you were able to get out and enjoy the sunshine today. I hope that you enjoyed your jobs and that that naughty Croccy didn't catch you when you played 'Cross The River'!
Here are your jobs for today:
(Don't forget P.E with Joe Wicks at 9.00a.m. Live on YouTube Monday - Friday!)
Phonics
- Practise your 'Tricky Words' (we'll be adding some new words to our boxes next week). Afterwards, sing along to our 'Tricky Words' song, using the link below. If you would like a challenge, see if you can write some of these tricky words from memory: 'I', 'no', 'go', 'to', 'we', 'me', 'he', 'be'. https://safeYouTube.net/w/Z3Q2
- Practise reading sentences which include our new sound 'ow', using the powerpoint below (or video if you don't have access to powerpoint). Afterwards, write your own 'Silly Sentence' puzzle to give to a member of your family. Draw two pictures with your sentence - one that matches and one that does not.

Maths
- Can you remember the names of our four shapes? Can you remember the words we use to describe them? (straight edges, curved edges, corners).
- Play some shape games:
- "I'm thinking of a shape..." - take turns to describe your shape to your grown-up.
- "Shape Time" - using a stop-watch on a phone or tablet, ask your grown-up to give you 30 seconds to bring back a given shape in your room/house - how many can you find in 30 seconds? Can you beat your grown-up?
- Go outside in your garden. Use natural materials to create a picture with all four shapes in. You might also like to use straws/string/pencils/playdough/paints to create a shape picture indoors.
At the end of every week I would like to show-case some of the children's achievements and I would also like the opportunity to give the children some feedback. Perhaps you would like to upload a photo of a piece of writing, a Maths activity and a project that your child has been particularly proud of onto EvidenceMe at the end of each week. I will then feedback to the children and display some of their work on the webpage each Monday.
Projects
The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to gain a better understanding of their own family. Learning may focus on what different makeup of families, what traditions your family has, stories linked to your family etc.
- Look at a selection of family photographs and discuss the changes over time.
- Show your child a photograph of them as a baby, a 1 year old, a 2 year old. What could they do at that age? What can they do now that they couldn’t do then?
- Look at a picture of a family member as a baby (this could be parents, siblings). Discuss how everyone was a baby once.
- Are there any black and white photographs? Why are these photographs black and white? Do they show older family members when they were younger? Talk about how life was different then
- Draw a family tree- How does your family link together? Can your child draw out their family members and link them together using lines?
- Do a picture survey of the people in your house. How many family members have blonde/ brown/ black/ red hair? Can you record this with pictures? How many people have blue/ brown/ green eyes?
- Have a family picnic. Lay out a blanket in the living room or garden. Can children make sure everyone has a plate, fork, spoon, cup? How many do we need all together? Give your child a selection of food and ask them to share it fairly between everyone? If there is one left over what could we do?
- Sort out the clean clothes. Who do they belong to? Can they deliver them to the right place in the house? Pair up socks. Can they match the patterns/ colours? Can they count in twos to work out how many there are all together? Peg clothes on the airer (this will support children to develop hand strength which will impact on their writing).
- Put on a show or performance- Perform a story or song to your family. Plan out costumes, props. Children could make a show program.
- Lay the table for your family for dinner- How many people are there? How many knives, forks, cups do you need? Write out name cards for everyone in your family to show them where to sit. Write a menu to let them know what is for dinner that night. Roleplay as a waiter/ waitress. What would everyone like in their sandwiches for lunch? What drinks would everyone like to have with their dinner?
- Make a birthday card for the next family birthday- How old are they going to be? Can they write the numerals to show the correct age? Write a message inside for your family member and sign it with your name.
- What jobs do the people in your family do? Talk to your child about your job and what you do. What would they like to be when they grow up? Can they draw a picture of themselves in the job they would like to d
- Use play dough to make your family members- Use ready made play dough or make your own using this recipe:
- 2 cups of plain flour, one cup of salt, a tablespoon of oil, a cup of water (add gradually), a couple of drops of food colouring (optional), a teaspoon of cream of tartar (optional, but will make it last longer)
- Play a family board game- Play a game together. Talk about taking it in turns and playing fairly. Dice games will support your child’s number recognition. You could use a spinner with numerals on to help develop numeral recognition. If you don’t have a spinner you could make one using an old cereal box and a split pin.
- Find out everyone’s favourite song in your family- Listen to each person’s favourite song and make up a dance to match. Do you like the same music? What is your favourite song?
