Monday’s phonics challenge

Hope you’ve all had a great weekend.

Your challenge for Monday is to make a card, drawing or letter to send to someone your child cares about but is unable to visit at the moment.  They could include a drawing of themselves and their favourite activities at the moment.  Can you then encourage them to write their name on it (explain that this is so the recipient knows who it is from) using the correct letter formation?  I then would love them to add writing to their pictures by labelling what they have drawn, for example if they have drawn a fire engine they might write “f” or even further sounds they can hear such as  “fr en”.  It’s absolutely fine for them to write just what they can hear.  It would be great then if you could post their work, this gives children a real reason to write which is very motivating for them.

Year 2 Home Learning Monday 27th April 2020

Hello Year 2!

We hope you have had a wonderful weekend and you are ready for some more home learning this week!

Spellings – the spelling rule for this week is ‘a before l and ll’ . We have set you the Purple Mash quiz to complete and your spellings can be found here.

a before l and ll spellings

Please note that there are some different words in the quiz, however they all follow this week’s spelling rule.

Literacy – This week in Literacy we will be reading a book called Sky-scraping Sunflowers.  Each day you will read a chapter and complete a comprehension quiz, missing word activity and a joining words activity.  This will help you to practise your reading and literacy skills.  Today, please read Chapter 1 and complete the activities – you will find all of these in your Purple Mash 2dos.

Maths – this week we will be continuing to learn about measure using the White Rose materials.  Today is about comparing lengths. The video you need can be found here

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/

And the worksheet to be completed is here.

Comparing Lengths

Times Tables Rockstars – Don’t forget to practise your x2, x3, x5 and x10 tables.  Miss Horler and Miss Rouse are ready to set challenges on TTRS.  For your login details look in your blue homelink book or email your class teacher.

Afternoon activities – This week’s theme is Music, please see ideas below.

When you complete a music activity please upload them to the Year 2 homework blog for us to see.

Assembly – We are sure that you are all missing Mr Wilcox’s music assembly.  He has made some music videos for you to join in with at home.  Tomorrow’s vocal activity is called ‘It is fun to sing!’  and you can find the video here.  Enjoy! 🎵

Friday’s phonic challenge

On a Friday we usually go over the phonics we have learnt that week and play a few games.  One of the games that has always proved popular is bingo.  This particular version is available on twinkle (this is a free website at the moment) and the game you are looking for is called “cvc bingo matching card game”.  Again, use the phase 2 level as this is most appropriate.  However, this only works with a printer.  You could instead though make your own version with your child, they could draw the pictures and write the letters.  You would need to make two boards (if you’re not sure how they should look just google the game even if you’re not going to print it).  The words include net, man, dog, tap and so on.

Have fun!

EYFS picture news

Good morning Reception,

What beautiful weather we have had this week.

Here is your picture news that we would normally look at in our class assemblies.

Do you play video or computer games at home? Which is your favourite and why?

I want you to think about why people are spending more time playing video games at the moment? What other games (not computer or video games) could they/you play?

I like playing football outside with my little boy, especially in this gorgeous weather and inside we like doing puzzles.

Here is some ideas for discussions and some little tasks:

EY Additional resource 1 27th April

EY Additional resource 2 27th April

EY Picture News Resource – 27th April

EY Resource – 27th April

We hope you have a lovely weekend

The Reception team.

Thursday’s phonics challenge

Today, I thought we’d get a little active!  Please could you help your child write the following letters on separate pieces of A4 (or similar) sized paper…

s a t p i n

When you have done this place them around the room and put some music on.  Encourage your child to dance around to the music and then when the music stops call a letter out and your child runs to it (a bit like musical chairs).  Repeat this with all of the letters.

Bring the letters back to the carpet or table together and explain that you are going to put some of them together to make words, can they help you read them?

For example, you could put p a t together, sound it out carefully by tapping your arm and then stroke the sounds together.  You could then swap out one of the letters and continue to make new words.  Your child, if they are feeling confident could make their own words up.  This is a great activity to use again another day, just chose different letters, enjoy!

Wednesday phonics challenge

Today I’d like you to return to “new phonics play” on the internet and select the game “reading robot”.  Select the phase 2 level.  Your child then looks at each word on the robot’s chest and tries to say each letter sound (you can of course look back at Mrs Giordano’s letter cards to help them at this point).  As they say each sound we would then get the children to pat their arm.  We encourage the children to stroke their arm next whilst saying each sound in order to blend them together, don’t worry it this sounds confusing the children should know what to do!  If they read the word correctly press the green tick if not press the red cross.  Your child will then get a score.  You could record this score and then return to this game another time, can they beat their score?
