At the end of Jasper’s Beanstalk Jasper decides to climb all the way to the top to see what he can find. What do you think Jasper finds? Can you describe it for me using adjectives to make your writing more interesting? Can you draw a picture to match what you have described?

For today’s activity you will need between 10 and 20 items (depending on how confident your child is with numbers) and a cloth. Show your child a number of items e.g 12. Cover them with a cloth and ensure your child is happy that there are still 12 items. While they are covered, remove some of the pieces one at a time counting as you do so e.g 1, 2, 3. Ask you child to work out how many will still be hidden. They can count back in their head by holding up three fingers to represent how many need to be taken away and putting 12 in their head. As they count back, fold down a finger so they know when to stop. To further challenge your child ask them to record the number sentences.

Thank you for the feedback regarding the Letters and Sounds phonics lessons. I will continue to post the link for these as I know some have found parts of them useful however I will continue to post activities for each year group as well. You can choose either the youtube live lessons or my activities below but please don’t do both! You may find it beneficial to dip in and out of the live youtube lessons and only participate for a small section instead of the full 20/30 minutes.

Reception

Today’s grapheme is ‘oo’ making the short ‘u’ sound as in book.

Start by sharing Jasper’s Beanstalk again. For today’s activity I would like you to write a diary explaining what Jasper did on each day of the week- can you remember how to spell the different days of the week? Try to start each diary entry with the day of the week for example ‘On Monday he…’

You could use the template below or create your own diary.

We are continuing with subtraction today.

Have a go at playing the subtraction bus route board game. Take it in turns to roll a dice and move the corresponding number of steps forward- if you can answer the question on the space you can stay there- if you can’t you have to go back! There are three different levels to the game so choose whichever is most appropriate for your child. This game is also good for practicing subitising to 6.

Phonics

Did anyone watch the Letters and Sounds lessons posted yesterday? If you did let me know what you thought. If you haven’t had chance yet they are posting daily so have a look.

The lessons follow a set structure and cover all areas of phonics so are very useful however you are watching the screen for the full 20/30 minutes.

I will continue to post activities for now but you only need to do one so either watch the youtube lesson or follow my activity below. Choose whichever works best for you.

Here is the link for the youtube lessons.

Reception

Today’s grapheme is ‘oo’ there are two phonemes for this grapheme. The first is a long ‘oo’ sound as in moon, the second makes an ‘u’ sound as in book. We are focusing on the long oo sound today.

Revise all of your phase 3 flashcards and watch Mr Thorne does phonics.

For today’s activity I would like you to see how many ‘oo’ words you can think of. Can you write them down? Could you put them into a sentence?

Year 1

Today’s grapheme is ‘i-e’.

Begin by revising all of your phase 5 flashcards and then watch Mr Thorne does phonics.

For today’s activity I want you to write a list of words that have the ‘i-e’ grapheme. Can you make silly sentences using the words you have written. Mine would be:

The pink flamingo won a prize for standing on her head.

Literacy

Read the story Jasper’s Beanstalk again then have a look at these images

Jasper’s Beanstalk images

You don’t have to use all of them, just select your favourites. Can you label the picture and write a caption to let me know what is happening in each one.

Reception

For today’s starter have a go at this number blocks game on the Cbeebies website.

For today’s main activity we are carrying on with subtracting. Have ten green bottles/ten frogs/ten monkeys/ten currant buns and line them up. We are going to use the rhyme but change them up slightly. For example, if I was using ten green bottles I would line them up and sing, ‘There were ten green bottles standing on the wall, ten green bottles standing on the wall, but if 3 green bottles should accidentally fall’ knock 3 green bottles over ‘There’d be 7 green bottles standing on the wall’.

You can challenge your child to record these as number sentences and you could go up to 20 bottles etc. The key learning is that your child understands that when we subtract something we are taking it away so out total gets smaller.

Year 1

For today’s starter we are going to practice our two times table. You will need 10 pairs of socks- make sure your child understands that a pair equals 2. You will also need number cards or post it notes with numbers in increments of 2 from 2-2-. Each pair of socks represents one lot of 2. Lay down the first pair of socks and place the number card 2 on top- say to your child 1 lot of 2 equals 2. Lay the next pair down beside the first and say 2 lots of 2 equals 4 placing the number 4 card on top of the second pair of socks. See if your child can carry on the pattern saying the same sentence each time. If your child is confident with this you can ask them in a random order e.g lay down 5 pairs of socks first and say 5 lots of 2 equals? Get them to tell you the answer.

Go to the White Rose website and look at Summer term week 2 lesson 2- Find a quarter.

Art

For today’s optional challenge we are going to be doing some observational drawings. You could choose any plant inside your house or in your garden to draw or paint. Make sure you look closely at the shape, size and colour of your chosen plant.
