Here is some home learning for when you can’t be with us at school.
Remember to send pictures of your child’s home learning to scholesf2@spherefederation.org
Maths
This week’s maths learning is on our focus number 4.
Click on the screencast links below:
Your child’s learning will be most effective if you sit with them to pause the clip and check / praise / support your child as the clip moves on.
More maths fun at home…
In class this week, we will be setting up a ‘shop’ and using pennies to pay for items. Perhaps you would like to play shop at home too?
Phonics
This week we will be learning l/ ll and ss.
Watch and join in the Jolly Phonics songs.
(This is a YouTube link. Top tip for watching YouTube with your child: go to the settings cog along the play bar and turn off autoplay – this avoids an inappropriate clip coming up automatically, and helps to discourage your child from passively watching clip after clip.)
- Lesson 1: Screencast new sound l/ll
- Lesson 2: Screencast new sound ss
- Tricky words recap- watch the tricky words youtube video to recap all the words we have learnt in phase 2!
- We have now reached the end of phase 2! Until the end of term we will be doing lots of revision of the sounds we have learnt so far!
Here are all of our sounds on a mat. Go through the sounds each day.
Have a go at reading the following words:
Literacy
This week we are moving on to a new Pirates topic and reading the story – Pirates Love Underpants
- Lesson 1: Watch the story. Recap the main events. What characters are in the story? Create a story map of the events that happen.
- Lesson 2: Oh No! Someone has stolen the golden underpants! Can you create a WANTED poster describing the person we are looking for. Draw the person and add some word labels to describe them, using your sounds.
- Lesson 3: Make a treasure map. Add words to label the map. You might like to have a go at tea staining your map to make it look old and well-used!
- Lesson 4: Create your own pirate adventure by changing the setting or characters. Add your new characters/setting to your story map or create a new one. You can be as imaginative as you like! Make sure you tell your story to an adult, so they can let us know all about your super adventure!
Topic
Choose some of these activities to complete throughout the week. These are based on our new Pirate topic! They may spark other interests and ideas that result in other learning opportunities. Let your child lead the learning!
