Online Phonics Lessons for Reception and Year 1 Children

The DFE have created daily Letters and Sounds lessons on YouTube! These begin tomorrow. There are different times for Reception (10am) and Year 1 (10:30am).

Extra lessons on learning to blend for both Reception and Year 1 are also available (11am).

Please see the attached letter for more information. These would be hugely beneficial in ensuring your child is accessing phonics whilst schools remain closed.

Year 2, you may find the Year 1 phonics session useful as some revision too!

Year 1 Home Learning Monday 27th April 2020

Hello Year 1. We hope you had a lovely weekend in the sunshine.

This week in Literacy we will be putting your knowledge of ‘The Enormous Turnip’ to the test! Over the next couple of days we would like to see if you can write your own version of the story.

You could do this in one of two ways. First of all you may choose to retell the story in your own words. Can you use traditional story language? Can you include each part of the story?

However, if you want more of a challenge, you may choose to put your own twist on the story. You may decide to change the story so that you have a different giant vegetable – such as ‘The Enormous Carrot’ or ‘The Enormous Marrow’.  You could also switch the characters. You may even decide to star in the story yourself!

Monday’s task is to plan your story. We usually do this with a visual story board. Attached is an example you could use or draw your own. You can simplify this to have less boxes if you would rather. Draw what will happen in your story in order. You could label the pictures. You will use this plan to help support you in your story writing the next day. We look forward to seeing all the different things you come up with.

For phonics, please practise this weeks spellings. You could try something different and create a spelling scribble like this:

 

Please see more upcoming  information about phonics lessons on the website.

Year 3 Literacy W/C 27th April

Summer Term Week 2 Literacy

This week you will be looking at Non-Chronological reports, the past and present tense, the perfect tense and the progressive tense in poems. Wow I hear you say! Do not panic, attached are PowerPoints to help you understand before you complete the activities (attached for each day).

Day 1 – Year 3 Week 4 Day 1

1 – Read the Lego report twice and decide who it is written for.

2- Then highlight the features of the report (sections (paragraphs), headings, sub-headings, main title, introduction, present tense, technical vocabulary)

3- Read the other reports and find technical vocabulary and write the meaning of 3. (Use an online dictionary if you don’t have a dictionary)

Day 2- Year 3 Week 4 Day 2

  • Read another report and answer the questions about it
  • Choose one of the games listed, play it then make notes about it on the table
  • Write a report on the chosen game- use your notes to help you and include those key features – Main title (eg. Dangermouse Dash), sub-headings and paragraphs about that sub-heading (eg. Who is the game for? What is the aim of the game? What are the rules? What skills are needed to play?)

Day 3- Year 3 Week 4 Day 3

  • Read the portrait poem – answer the question
  • Use powerpoint Past and Present Tense with audio to remind you of the present and past tense then complete the practice
  • Use the portrait poem template to write about one of your friends (in the present tense) then draw a portrait of them in the middle. Once complete and if you would like to maybe try the extras.

Day 4 – Year 3 Week 4 Day 4

  • Read the shape poem out loud
  • Use the powerpoint Progressive Tense with audio to learn about the progressive tense then complete the practice
  • Think of some Action Poem ideas- TIME TO BE CREATIVE (or use one of the sheet) – write these on your sheet (or on paper). Can you try to write up your poem in the shape which matches the action? Look at the example how to set it out to help. Most importantly have fun with it!

Day 5 – Year 3 Week 4 Day 5

  • Read the poem I have had an awful day, discuss what things cheer you up if you are having a bad day?
  • Use the powerpoint Perfect form with audio to learn about the perfect tense- complete the matching activity.
  • Time to write your own sad to happy poem. Be as creative as you like and make sure you include the present form. Use the examples to help you.

Have fun with the literacy this week we cannot wait to read your poems, we know that they will be amazing with some exquisite vocabulary.  Any problems just send an email – newdale.year3team@taw.org.uk

Keep shining superstars. We are proud of you.

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

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.

Y4 Parent Email

Purple Mash emails are a great way for children/parents to communicate with us; however, there have been a few requests from parents about emailing teachers directly, without their child having access to the content. To support parents, we have set up a Y4 email address for parents to email if they have any questions about their child/child’s learning.

newdale.year4team@taw.org.uk

Many thanks,

Miss Macfarlane & Mr Jackson

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!
