Maths

Today in maths we are going to we learning about fact families again. To begin with we will recapping on how to write 4 number sentences when we know 1 number sentence.

Phonics

In Key Stage One phonics is taught in phonics groups rather than classes. The phonics groups each work at a different ability level, therefore there are different phonics videos for each group. Your child will know who their phonics teacher is, but if you need clarification please message your child's class teacher on class dojo for confirmation. 

Please see the links below.

Task 1: 

Let's have a look at some short comics.

For the first comic, read it through and then can you spot all of the words that contain the letter ih as the "i" sound as in ink and also the "igh" sound like in the word grind?

In this comic, can you spot all of the words that contain the letter o as the "o" sound as in lost and also the "oh" sound like in frozen?

Task 2:

Let's have a look at alternative sounds, this is where a single letter or diagraph (two letters that make one sound) can make multiple different sounds e.g. the letters ow can be used in low and down. Both of the words use the same letters (ow) but each sound is pronounced differently. Try the game below to practise your alternative sounds knowledge by reading words.

Task 4:

Task 5: 

For our last task we are going to be focusing on compound words, these are similar to polysyllabic words as they usually have more than 1 syllable except that compound words have to be made of two words separately that come together to make a new word. For example- hand and stand make handstand. 

For more information on what compound words are please follow the link below, select start and then "Compound Words".

Mindfulness 

Mindfulness focuses on paying attention to the present moment (thoughts and feelings) as well as the world around you. This can improve mental wellbeing. The link below is to a motivational song that may be familiar to the children. We hope you enjoy listening to the uplifting message of the song.

Shared reading 

Shared reading involves children joining in with the reading and comprehension of a text whilst guided and supported by an adult. The text can be read by an adult if it is tricky or the child can read it themselves. The reader should be encouraged to use expression in voice and note the features of the text e.g. the title, any illustrations, the author/ illustrator and the structure of the text. Shared reading aims to improve comprehension skills known as VIPERS (vocabulary, inference, prediction, explanation, retrieval of information and sequencing). During shared reading the children are encouraged to ask and answer comprehension questions either verbally or in written form and any feedback about the text should be encouraged and discussed.

Please see the links below for the shared reading text and tasks. 

Our task for today is all about non-fiction texts. Follow the link below to Oxford Owl so that you can view today's shared reading text "Our Class Tiger". You may need to create a free log in (username and password) to access the eBook.

Task 2: Can you read through the book "Our Class Tiger"? You can do this either independently or use the audio function on eBook.

What does a glossary and index do? 

A glossary is an alphabetical list of tricky words or phrases from the text with an explaination of what it means. 

An index is an alphabetical list of subjects with reference to the pages on which they are mentioned.
