Please do not feel like you have to complete all of the activities provided in one day. We have given a variety so that there are options for you to choose what works best for you at home. The ‘Daily Time Fillers’ section includes some additional activities you could have a go at if you get time but we would not expect you to do more than one of these activities a day.
Read Write Inc are kindly doing live daily phonics sessions. They are at certain times depending on which sounds you would like to practise. We suggest either Set 2 or Set 3 sounds. Find the link here: RWI Phonics
You can still find books to read that are assigned by your class teacher on the scholastic website. Please email us if you have any questions about this.
English
Today we are going to have a go at retelling Footpath Flowers. We have a special challenge for you! We would like you to see if you can add some words to the story. See if you can use some of the adjectives you thought of yesterday in your writing. If you need a recap of the story, Footpath Flowers. Use to storyboard as a template for retelling the story. Find it here: Storyboard. There are lots of parts to this story so you may wish to just choose the main parts to retell. We have included some pictures for you to cut and stick, or you could draw your own. Then write sentences under each picture to explain what it happening. When you are finished, use the writing reminder pencil to check that you have everything you need.
If you’d like to, you could send your story to us to read over email. We can’t wait to see them!
Maths
Week 2, lesson 4 – Add Equal Groups
Yesterday we had a go at making equal groups. Today we are going to have a go at adding equal groups! To do this we are going to need to use our repeated addition.This is where we add the same number lots of times (one for each group!). Can you show a grown-up what the add sign looks like? What happens to our number when we add? (It gets bigger!) Have a watch of the video. What do you spot? While watching the video and doing your job can you join in with the sentence?
‘There are ___ objects.’
‘There are ___ objects in a group.’
‘There are ___ equal groups of ___.’
