Maths

Today we will be investigating the faces on a 3D shape to see what 2D shapes they are made from. You can use things in your house to investigate today or look at the nets below to help you. 

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.

Spellings to learn 

The children will receive a weekly set of spellings to learn. The spellings are matched to their ability level in phonics. Each week we would like the children to learn these spellings ready for a weekly spelling quiz on Tuesday's. 

 

 

Reading books

 

Each week your phonics teacher and/ or your class teacher will post a link (see below) to a free online reading book that is approximately matched to your child's phonics level. Accessing the eBooks is free, the website only requires you to create a log in which consists of a username and password of your choice.

Today we are going to begin to plan our letter to Mum. Its important to plan to make sure we collect all of ideas down in an organised way so that its easier when we start to write.

You have got 2 days to work on your planning sheet so you could start this today and take a break before completing it tomorrow.

It's Dinosaur Craft Week!

This week we will be focussing on these skills as we make, create and evaluate and adapt our work to make dinosaurs. 

  • Use weaving to create a pattern.
  • Join materials using glue and/or a stitch.
  • Use rolled up paper, straws, paper, card and clay as materials.
  • Use techniques such as rolling, cutting, moulding and carving.
  • Salt dough fossils

 

L2L skills needed

Resilience - I can stick at it. 

Resourcefulness  - I can find a way

Reflective - I can reflect on my work
reciprocal - I can listen to the ideas of others

 

 

It's our final week of our Dinosaur topic. In school we would usually be preparing for our dinosaur Exhibition, inviting parents to come and view all the information the children have collected and items they'd made over the last 5 weeks. 

Unfortunately, we haven't been able to do this but we've greatly enjoyed seeing all of your pictures along the way. 

 

So this week we would like you to look through the dinosaur powerpoint  and choose which of the dinosaur crafts you would like to achieve on which day. We've allocated today, Wednesday afternoon and some of Thursday to make sure we can practise all of the art skills above. 

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 shows an aquarium scene with calming music in the background. This provides a focus point as well as soothing sounds.
