I hope today’s post finds you well.  We are so impressed by all the work and fun you are sharing on Tapestry.  Please keep posting. We really love to hear from you.  Don’t forget, you can use the email to send messages to us as well.  The address is: yearr@stmarksce.org.uk 

Please do not feel under any pressure to complete all of the activities provided in one day. Anything you can do is fantastic! However, it would be great if you can encourage your little ones to complete the recommended daily activities.   

Have a lovely day.

  • Reading your keywords

  • Writing your name (use your laminated name card from your Summer pack)

  • Forming your cursive handwriting (see the slides below for all the letter famiies)

  • Reading an Ebook  from the following website: https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/  You’ll find lots of Kipper books and even some Read Write Inc Phonics books too!  Grown-ups: you will need to create a parent account which is free to do.  This website is great for  helping parents to understand how and what we teach your children in school and we hope you’ll find it useful.

Each day, please practise:

  • Counting forwards and backwards to 10
  • Counting a small handful of different everyday objects
  • Lining up larger numbers of items and counting them carefully and slowly,  Make sure to touch each one as you move along the row of items.  Each time you touch a new number say the next number name clearly.  If you go higher than 10 make sure you say “teen” not “ty” (fourteen not forty).

Topic Activities

We have been learning all sorts of interesting facts about animals on the farm. There are lots of important vehicles that work hard on the farm too. I wonder if you could name any of them?

Today’s Job:

Can you build a vehicle that could work on the farm? You could use building blocks, Lego, junk modelling, playdough or any other resources you have at home. How could you join the pieces together? Will it be able to move? Have fun!

We’ll be back again tomorrow!  Take care.
