rain   clay   flame   eight   grey   veil  

- Read different words containing these sounds 

raining   train   play   crayon   name   blame   eight   obey   they   veil   vein

- Print off a game or make a game https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-1879-ai-sound-family-game

- Write the words using the correct sound

traik   drafe   glay   flein   fortade   graifer

This week is all about reading, spelling and using the correct homophones. What are homophones? Watch this video… https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zqhpk2p/articles/zc84cwx

there their they’re (https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zqhpk2p/articles/z3cxrwx)

here hear

see sea to

too two

You could...

- Read the words and talk about how they are spelt. You could verbally put them into a sentence

- Write the words by copying. Adults please say each word and then put them into a sentence. For example… It is over there. It’s their ball. They’re coming to tea.

- Write the words from memory… (put them into a sentence to give each word context. For example, I have two socks. I have too many bags.)

-  Write this words into sentences using adjectives and conjunctions. For example- I can hear the sea (and smell the salty water.)
 

MATHS counting in 2s, 5s, 10s and times tables 

Y1

How far can you count in 2s? Can you count all the pairs of shoes or socks?

How far can you count in 5s? Can you count all the fingers and toes in your house? Can you count 5p coins? 

How far can you count in 10s? Can you count 10p coins? 

Use this online resources to help create the patterns… 

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares What do you notice? 

Write down numbers in 2s, 5s and 10s up to 50

Play fizz buzz (stand in a circle and everyone says one number each- 1, 2, 3, 4 but when you get to a multiple of 5 for say FIZZBUZZ instead). This can be played for 2s and 10s as well and takes lots of practice

Solve simple problems such as these...

If an apple costs 5p how much will 3 apples cost?

Alice the camel has 2 humps. How many humps will 6 camels have?

The shop has 4 boxes of crayons. There are 10 in each box. How many crayons do they have altogether?

Can you create your own problems and share them with your friends?

Can you recall all of your 2 times tables up to 12? Have a go at writing them down.

Have a go at playing https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button OR https://www.multiplication.com/games 

Play fizz buzz (stand in a circle and everyone says one number each- 1, 2, 3, 4 but when you get to a multiple of 5 for say FIZZBUZZ instead). This can be played for 2s and 10s as well and takes lots of practice

Solve these word problems…

Have a go at creating your own problems. Can you share them with a friend or send them to Mrs Ellis to solve?

 

ENGLISH

Our topic for Summer term is Best of British. This week we would like you to research a famous British person of interest to you. If you aren’t sure perhaps you could read about…

• Alexander Bell
• John Logie Baird
• Tim Henman
• David Beckham
• Kelly Homles

Then you could...

- Write a fact file about your chosen famous person. When were they born? Where were they born? Why are they famous? Can you find out any fun facts about this person?

- Create a Top Trumps card about your chosen person

- Write a fiction story about your famous person. Perhaps they go on an adventure? Maybe they become famous for another reason? Draw a story map of ideas to sequence the events in your story. Remember to have a beginning, middle and end. In year 1 we often use three boxes to draw a beginning, middle and end. In year 2 we often draw pictures with arrows to sequence the events in our story.

- Look around the house and find things which are made in Britain. Can you make a list?

 

TOPIC

Our new topic is Best of British. British people are well known for their love of gardens. We would like you to make, draw or create your very own park or garden.
