Week 6

This week our target birds are birds of prey

 

Phonics

Ask your child if they are in Mrs Millar's Letterland Group or Mrs Taylor's so that you can access the correct work.

 

This week Mrs Millar's group are learning about dippy duck. Have a look on your Phonics Online account and encourage your child to learn about who this character is and what sound the letter makes. Listen to the story and explore the picture looking for all of the items that have the initial sound 'd'. After learning the songs and chants you can access Phonics Reader 2 story Nat is sad.

 

Use your decodable sentence book for lesson 9 and encourage your child to read the sentences and spot the target sound. 

Encourage your child to copy these sentences underneath making sure they are using neatly formed letters. If they are finding a letter challenging to form then find the Letterland character on Phonics Online and watch the handwriting song to support correcting their formation.

 

This week Mrs Taylor's group are learning about Walter Walrus and Fix it Max. Have a look on your Phonics Online account and encourage your child to learn about who these characters are and what sounds their letters make. Listen to their stories and explore Walter's picture looking for all of the items that have the initial sound 'W'. After learning the songs and chants you can access Phonics Reader 6 stories Wet! and Can he fix it? to practice reading.

 

Use your decodable sentence books for lesson 28 and 29 and encourage your child to read the sentences and spot the target sounds. 

Encourage your child to copy these sentences underneath making sure they are using neatly formed letters. If they are finding a letter challenging to form then find the Letterland character on Phonics Online and watch the handwriting song to support correcting their formation.

 

Magic Maths

This week we are going to be taking part in the RSPB's Big School's Birdwatch. We will be using all of our number work to help us - counting, estimating, filling in tens frames and adding. Encourage your child to make their own spotter sheet at home and look out o the window and note down all of the birds that they see in about 20 minutes. Ask questions such as: which bird did you see the most of? How do you know? Which bird did you see the least of? Did you see the same amount of any birds?

 

Please upload your child's at home learning onto Tapestry.

Understanding of the world and art

This week we will be exploring the RSPB's website to learn about tawny owls and barn owls - as well as other birds of prey. After going to Baytree Owl Centre we will then be trying to look closely at their features in order to draw them. Our challenge this week is to try to create an owl shape rather than a song bird body shape.

 

Please upload your child's artwork to Tapestry.

 

PE

One of our lovely parents highlighted to me that Joe Wicks has paired up with Hey Duggee! to create a series of workout challenges for children. They can be found here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyCLoPd4VxBvIsxs4yYGusHvaTq9vhN0H 

So if your child is feeling well enough to jump around then this might be a great option for them to take part in.

 

Remember to add a photo of this to Tapestry.
