Phonics
Online Letters and Sounds lessons.
Reception
Revise all of your phase 3 sound cards.
Watch Mr Thorne does phonics for your focus sound for today. In school we are focusing on recognising digraphs and trigraphs when reading and spelling so we are working through all of the phase three sounds again.
For today’s activity choose items around your home that include your focus sound. Talk about the object you have and plan a sentence to describe it e.g A blue coat. You can extend this by talking about capital letters and full stops or by adding more detail to your description e.g A blue coat with 4 gold buttons.
Then ask your child to record their sentence. The spelling does not have to be correct but should be phonetically decodable based on the sounds that your child knows e.g A blue coat with gold buttons could be written as A bloo coat with gold butns.
Year 1
Revise all of your phase 5 sound cards.
Watch Mr Thorne does phonics for your focus sound for today. In school we are focusing on recognising digraphs and trigraphs when reading and spelling so we are working through all of the phase three sounds again.
For today’s activity we are going to look at past tense. You could ask questions that relate to things you have actually done or they could be made up. Say to your child ‘Today I am eating an apple. What did I eat yesterday? Their response could be Yesterday you ate a sandwich. Then say to them, ‘Today I am jumping on the bed. Where did I jump yesterday? The response could be, Yesterday you jumped in the water. The answers could be silly such as jumping into a pile of jelly as long as the tense is correct.

Reception
This week we are looking at fairy tales.
For today’s activity I would like you to look at Little Red Riding Hood. I have attached a story powerpoint or you could look at a book together. When you’ve finished the story talk about the main characters and the setting. Discuss the structure of the story by referring to the beginning, middle and end and what happened at each point. Then see if your child can sequence the story by looking at pictures.

Year 1
This week we are going to be writing our own story based on a fairy tale. We are going to build up to writing our story throughout the week so that children have a chance to develop their ideas. Read different fairy tales together and discuss who the characters are, where the stories are set and the main plot.
For today’s activity I would like you to create the setting for your story. You could draw a picture to help you but I would like to see lots of descriptive language to describe the setting. There may be more than one setting e.g. a forest and a castle.
It may help to look at images of fairy tale settings or of castles/cottages/forests to help develop your child’s ideas.
Maths
Reception
This week we are looking at capacity. Children should explore through play filling different containers and describing them by saying whether they are full, empty, half full, nearly full or nearly empty. They also be encouraged to use language to describe their containers such as tall, thin, narrow, wide, shallow.
Provide your child with a container and ask them to fill it to the different levels (full, half full etc). Can they find a container that holds more/ less than their container? Let your child explore filling containers of different sizes with water, sand, rice or cereal.
You could then have a go at the Year 1 White Rose material. Look at the video for lesson 3.

Year 1
This week we are going to look at money and today we are focusing on recognising coins.
Start your learning by playing this Coin game on top marks.
You can then have a look through the slides for lesson 1 which looks at the different coins. It may be helpful to have some real coins available for your child to look at as well.
Year-1-PRESENTATION-Money-Week-9
There are two activities for today, the first is a coin rubbing activity:
Year 1 – PRACTICAL – Coin rubbing
The second is practising working out the total amount shown in coins and recognising that there may be more than one way to make the same amount. The sheets are coded for different difficulty levels:
Practical – Coin rubbing
Children will work practically selecting coins to create coin rubbings of the amounts shown. Developing children may work in partners for this activity.
★☆☆ -(Page 1 & 2) – Children will identify coins and sort them into groups based on their characteristics. They will progress to matching equal amounts with values less than £1.
★★☆ -(Page 1 & 3) – Children will identify coins and sort them into groups based on their characteristics. They will progress to matching equal amounts with values over than £1.
★★★ -(Page 1 & 4) – Children will identify coins and sort them into groups based on their characteristics. They will progress to finding equal amounts by drawing a different combination of coins than the coins shown.
Year 1 – WORKSHEETS – Recognise coins
Challenge
We are continuing with our Science learning by growing our own seeds.
Start by looking at the different types of gardens in the picture pack.
KS1_Science_Yr_1_Summer_2_Whats_Growing_Session_3_Resource_1
For the activity we are going to grow a bean plant from a bean seed in a freezer bag. Page 12 of the pack above will talk you through how to do this. Show your child the resources and talk through what they need to do. Ask your child to predict what they think will happen to the bean. Give them the ‘bean in a bag diary’ sheet on page 13 and ask them to fill in the first section.
