Try out this game – watch out as it does have th and wh which we have not yet introduced!
Give this dice game a go!
Spelling
I am leaning to spell the bronze words.
Spelling has started! We are working towards the bronze medal certificate and to do this we have to learn to spell the bronze words. It is a little different to phonics work as not all of the words can be sounded out phonetically and some of them just have to be learned.
We have been using some games to practise saying the sounds and letters in order to spell the words.
Spelling Tennis – sit opposite a partner with your legs apart and your feet touching. Use a ball to take turns to roll it and say a sound e.g. and – the first person would say ‘a’ and roll to their partner, their partner would say ‘n’ and roll the ball back and this would be finished with another roll and a shout out of ‘d’, the – roll the ball with a ‘t’, then back again with a ‘h’ and finish with an ‘e’.
Anagrams – on a white board, black board or piece of paper, ask someone at home to choose a bronze spelling word and write the letters down in the wrong order. Can you put the letters in the correct order to make the correct word.
Writing
We are learning to say sentences aloud.
We are learning to use new vocabulary to write about the features of a castle.
We are learning to use our bronze words in sentences.
We had a go at writing about the castle today using the new vocabulary that we learned when we were naming the features of the castle last week. Our sentence starter was:
The castle has…
Numeracy
We are learning the value of numbers.
We have been chatting about numbers and the number system. Some numbers have 1 digit and some have 2. Others have 3 digits and some have 4. The numbers get bigger and bigger. Place value is the value of each digit in a number. We have been looking at what happens to numbers after 10 and what this means when we explain our understanding of numbers. We are learning to use the words tens and ones.
Place Value Basketball – choose the level that suits for you
We are leaning to tell the time using an analogue and digital clock.
Chat at home about your daily routine. What time is breakfast? When does school start/finish? What happens before and after? When is tea time? Is it bath time yet? When is story time? What time do things happen in your home?
IDL
We are learning about places of interest inside the castle.
We are making our play area into a castle.
Expressive arts
We are looking for shapes in artwork. Photos from last week of Inverness at Night 🙂
We are drawing shapes using curved lines.
We are cutting circles and choosing complementary colours to make a ‘Kandinsky’ inspired Art Attack.
