Hello everyone!

I hope you’re all okay and have enjoyed getting out in the fresh air this weekend. Here is the work for next week for the morning phonics and numeracy groups. I’ve been doing exactly the same work with the children who have been in school so it’s great that you are able to join in at home.

Phonics:

Again theres’s 5 activities following our usual pattern.

1. Sounds for this week are mp and nd. The second sound is quite tricky to ‘sound out’. Think how it sounds in words like ‘and’ ‘hand’ and ‘stand’. Use something you have at home to write the sounds in the air (magic wand, a straw, wooden spoon) or go outside and use a stick to write the sounds in soil.
2. Log onto purple mash – English – phonics – phase 4 – cloze and look for the red box with nd and mp in.
3. For our creating words focus, write the word ‘and’ and work through the alphabet adding a letter to the front of ‘and’ eg) b becomes band. See how many real words you make. If you have time, try the same but write ‘amp’ and add letters.
4. For our handwriting focus please write out these key words: bump, champ, lamp, band, hand, pond, wind, land, stamp – remember to join as much as you can.
5. For our ‘game’ today please make a memory game. On paper write all of the key words above and draw a picture to go with each one. Then cut them up – there are 9 words so you should end up with 18 cards. See if someone at home will play a game with you where you turn the shuffled cards face down then take it in turns to pick 2 cards and if they match you keep them. If they don’t match you put them back trying to remember them for the next go. The winner has the most pairs at the end.

Numeracy:

The focus this week is recapping number bonds to 10 then using this knowledge to look at making 100 using tens.

1. Can you remember who are the ‘bffs’ (best friends) of the numbers 1 – 9? See if you can write them down.
2. Log onto ‘Top Marks Hit the Button’ game. Click on ‘number bonds’ and then the game in the top left of the screen – ‘make 10’. See how well you do.
3. Once we know our bonds to 10 we can use this knowledge to work out bonds to 100 using tens eg) because we know 8+2 make 10 we also know 80+20 make 100,, 7+3 make 10 so 70+30 make 100.
4. Log onto Top Marks again but this time play the game ‘make 100 (tens)’.

Please get in touch if there are any concerns or you want to share some work.Have fun! From Mrs Colin-Stokes.
