Phonics

I will be delivering a live phonics lesson at 10.30 for all children to attend. Please have a pen and paper ready for the spelling part of the session.

Please also complete the extra phonics lesson below - in class we usually do 2 lessons of phonics a day so it would be great if an extra could be done at home.

Writing

I would like you to edit the sentences in the document below. MMake sure you ask yourself these questions when trying to improve the writing:

• Has the sentence got capital letters in the correct places?

• Does this sentence have a full stop at the end?

• Have adjectives been used to describe and add detail?

Have a think about who/what/where/when/why to add extra detail to the sentence.

You do not need to do every sentence but select a range and copy them down with your improvements:

for example, 

adam saw a spider -

Adam saw a huge, terrifying spider sat on the windowsill.

Adam saw a hairy spider climbing up the wall.

Adam saw creepy spider spinning a tiny web.

Make sure you are describing things other than size and colour.

Maths

We will be continuing grouping and counting.

The workbook is asking you to count how many items there is and write the answer - to count each item individually would take a long time and we can make mistakes along the way. Therefore, I would like you to circle the groups of 10 and count how many groups there is (e.g. 3 groups 10 is 30) and then add the leftover ones (4 ones added to 30 = 34). 

It is important the children understand the place value in a 2 digit number and that when you put 30 and 4 together the 4 replaces the 0 and doesn't become 304. The 4 must go in the ones column.

Geography 

In Geography we are learning about the human and physical features of the Island.

Human and physical features are things that you can see all around you.

Physical features like seas, mountains and rivers are natural. They would be here even if there were no people around.

Human features like houses, roads and bridges are things that have been built by people.

Have a look at the map below and think about what you may find on the Island, organise this into human and physical features. There is likely to be a lot more physical features over human.

Fill in a table listing the different features you have found - you may also draw a small picture to illustrate.

There is extra activities assigned on purple mash, so head over there for some more IT based activites.
