Reception

This week I have added a new challenge for Reception. We are now moving onto subitising to 10. I have attached the home learning activities for this below but any opportunity for children to recognise groups of objects up to 10 work well. This could be when you are out on a walk or around the house.

Subitising to 10

Year 1

This week year 1 are looking at making and breaking the number 6. Again, they should be looking at all the possible ways of making the number 6 with instant recall. The activities are attached below.

For homework this week Reception children should be continuing with their subitising of numbers to 5. They should be able to recognise different formations of groups of objects up to 5 without the need to count them. I have uploaded the home activities again for your reference.

I have also uploaded a link to a game on the website TopMarks. It is called Helicopter Rescue and there are two options for playing. The first is to find a number between 1 and 10 when verbally told. To add an extra challenge children could find a number between two given numbers.

I have also uploaded a link to a game on the BBC bitesize website. The game looks at ordering, counting and identifying more and less than. This is an optional extra for children to have a go at.

This half term I will begin to set homework activities for Reception and Year 1 children. The activities will be looking at number and are designed to develop children’s recall of number facts.

Reception

Reception should be reading 5 times a week for 10 minutes a day. They should also be practising their tricky words 5 times a week for 5 minutes a day.

In addition to this, I have uploaded some activities you can do at home to develop children’s ability to subitise with numbers up to 5. Subitising is where children can instantly recognise a collection of objects without needing to count them.

There are 4 different activities on the sheet but I am only expecting one activity to be done per week. This set of activities will be the maths homework for the next 4 weeks.

Any activities you do with your child can be uploaded to tapestry.

Subitising to 5

Year 1

Year 1 should be reading 5 times a week for 10 minutes a day. They should also be practising their spellings 5 times a week for 5 minutes a day.

In addition to this, I have uploaded some activities you can do at home to develop children’s ability to quickly recall number facts when making the number 5. This is a skill that will benefit children throughout their school journey.

There are 4 activities on the sheet and some guidance for how to introduce finding 5 throughout everyday life. You can select which activities you would like to have a go at.

With the Euros staring this weekend we thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to learn more about the different countries involved.

On Monday children in Green will each draw out the name of a country that are playing in the Euro competition. They will then have until the 9th July to complete a home learning project based on their country. The following week we will have a celebration in school where each child will get to share their work with their friends.

I have outlined a few possible project ideas below to get you stared but children can also come up with their own:

• Make a model of a famous landmark
• Make the flag
• Create a poster or leaflet
• Paint or draw a famous place

If you need any further information or help to complete a project please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

I look forward to seeing what you all come up with!
