Phonics/SPaG

This week we will continue to recap Phase 5 to help consolidate the reading and writing of these sounds.

Recap the Phase 5 sounds by pointing your finger to each of the sounds on the Phase 5 sound mat. We usually do this as a warm up during our phonics lessons in class.

Practise reading and saying words with the ir sound on the phonics play website. https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/2/dragons-den Click start, phase 5, +ir

Choose three real words with the ir sound and put them into a sentence. Can you draw a picture to match?

Log on to spelling shed to practise the ir sound Reading On our class page, there is a range of non-fiction reading

comprehension activities all related to our beautiful blue planet. These have been split into three differentiated activities for you to choose from with the answers on the following page of the document. Feel free to choose whichever one you would like to complete.

Alternatively, if you have pirate, beach or adventure themed books at home, you or your child may want to read these and have a discussion about them. You may want to conduct a ‘before discussion’ and ‘after discussion’ about the book using when, why, who, where, what and how questions.

Log onto MyOn and discover some new and exciting books!

English For English this week, we are going to complete an ‘End of year’ booklet. Although we haven’t had a full year altogether, in school, you have still completed another year of your school life and it’s always nice to think about and reflect on how much you’ve achieved and grown. You can then look back at this in years to come and remember our class. This week we are going to think about:

- Who your friends are - Fun moments throughout the year - Your achievements - Your goals for next year

- What has been your favourite part of school You can find the ‘End of year’ booklet on our class page. Each day this week, I would like you to complete a different section of your yearbook. You’re welcome to do it in any order you like. When completing each section, think about all the skills you have learnt and consolidated on this year and show these in your writing e.g. Nouns – A name of something Pronoun – A name of a person, place or date Adjectives – A describing word Verbs – A doing word Conjunctions – A word to extend your sentence e.g. and, but, because, or Simile – Describing something like something else Alliteration – An adjective and noun starting with same letter Capital letters, finger spaces, full stops Using our phonics to help with our spelling In class we will be completing the ‘friends’ page of our booklet. Thinking about who our friends are and why they have been such amazing friends. So who have been your close friends this year? Who did you play with a lot at break time? Why were they such great friends? You may want to write in each cloud about a different friend. Example below. My best friend is Joe because he always helped me when I found something tricky. My best friend is Stacey because she was funny and always made me laugh.

Maths At the start of Year 2, the children will most likely be recapping place value including numbers up to 50. We will revisit this area of Maths this week. LO: To count to numbers within 50 Firstly, go to the ‘Counting within 50’ PowerPoint on our class page. You may want to practice counting on by playing this game. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Flash.aspx?f=countingstickv4

Firstly click for the horizontal number line, then underneath the heading ‘Steps of 1’, click count on or count backwards from any number. A hidden number will appear and by clicking the tiles it will then reveal the numbers. Can you then count on or backwards from the numbers that have been revealed? Activity – Complete the activity sheet, remembering to read each question carefully. Then mark your answers. (These have been sent via email) To keep your mind ticking over on the other areas of Maths we have covered go to the Topmarks website for a range of fun games. Below are some suggested games, a few of which we have played in class.

Afternoon Like last week, you are welcome to choose from a range of activities on the ‘Afternoon Activities’ document. We also have additional activities on our class page including:

- A name that story quiz - The big end of year quiz - The story of the cautious caterpillar, which is a lovely story to help

the children discuss their emotions with regards to transitioning up to Year 2. I read this to the children at the start of this academic year, to reassure them that it is perfectly normal and natural to be nervous and a little worried, but change is a positive thing. They loved the story and I am sure it would bring them some comfort to read it again.

Wellbeing Wednesday

Every Wednesday afternoon we’re going to have some ‘me’ time. This is a chance for us to slow down, take a breath and relax. It’s important that we think about how we are feeling and why we are feeling that way. So to start off with we’re going to have some quiet time. Here is a link to the relaxing music we listen to when the children come into class and during lessons. You’re welcome to choose your own relaxing music. Find a comfy place and sit quietly and just listen to the music. You may want to close your eyes or lay down. As you relax, breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Feel your tummy going in and out as you breathe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=857bt64SomQ Once you feel relaxed, have a think about these questions: How are you feeling? What are you thinking about?

Are you worried about anything? How did you sleep last night? Whether you’re feeling sad or happy, angry or excited, worried or calm, it’s ok to feel that way. All these feelings are normal. During our Wellbeing Wednesday time we want to bring some calm and peace to our day. On the webpage there are a range of activities that you can choose from. Here are some other ideas you may want to do: -Read a book quietly to yourself -Draw a picture -Lay down and relax -Do some yoga Listen to the music as you complete your activity. Remember to take your time and think about your breathing. There’s no rush. Please complete your activity independently. In class we say affirmations to ourselves to help boost our self-esteem, mental health and wellbeing. So remember – You are a kind person. You are a smart person. You are cared for. You are loved.
