Home Learning 11.10.19

All to be completed over half term.

Science

To consolidate the children’s learning on animals, I have challenged the children to create their favourite animal in any form. This could be a drawing, a model or a poster - the more creative the better! The children should research the animal and be able to talk about it. The children will share their creations on 1.11.19, during show and tell.

Reading

Children are to continue learning the word sets. Please support the children to learn these words inside out; the children need to be able to read these words on sight (not by Fredding in their head).

Please encourage the children to read as much as possible over half term and do record this in their reading log.

IXL

Maths C.1, C.2, C.3, C.4 and C.5. To be completed by the end of half term. There are a lot of questions to be completed, please support the children to do as much as they can.

IXL is a fantastic learning tool, please encourage the children to practise their learning on this as much as possible.

English

Please support the children to write sentences about the forest using the word bank. I will be looking out for children who use and in their sentences; we have been practising using this joining word in class.

Reading

Children are to continue learning the word sets. Please support the children to learn these words inside out; the children need to be able to read these words on sight (not by Fredding in their head).

Every Monday/Tuesday the children will be tested on these words, if they know them fluently and confidently, they will be given the next set. There are 25 sets in total.

Please encourage the children to read as much as possible over the weekend. On Monday/Tuesday, the children will quiz on their accelerated reader book and will be given a new reading book. Children should be ready to quiz on their reading book on these days.

Home Learning 20.9.19

This week the children have been asked to practise their number formation. Let’s make sure all of those numbers are the right way around! The children have also been challenged to describe Mole (from our class story) using as many adjectives as they can. If you could stick these two sheets into their home learning books, it would be greatly appreciated.

Please continue to practise the speed sounds with the children. If the children could practise their sounds every time before they read, that would be AMAZING!

Finally, please read, read, and read! “The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”

Home Learning 13.9.19

The children’s homework this week is all about READING!

The children have each been given a copy of the Read Write Inc. speed sounds chart and a lolly stick. This is the children’s to keep. Please spend time pointing to each of the sounds in and out of order with the lolly stick. Being able to fluently recognise, read and correctly say these sounds is invaluable to the children’s progression in reading and writing.

The children may not have learned all of the sounds at school yet, it would be wonderful for the children to become familiar with them, all ready for when they are explicitly taught. Watch this space as over the coming weeks the children will be producing a video on how to correctly pronounce the sounds!

Next week’s show and tell (Friday) will be for the children to bring in their favourite book from home. Children can bring this book in on any day and keep it safely in their tray.

Please read with the children as much as possible over the weekend and remember to record the children’s reading in their log.

Finally, thank you for supporting all of the children with decorating their home learning books. It was amazing to see their personality all over the covers!

Home Learning 6.9.19

The children have each been given a Home Learning book. Homework will be given out each Friday and will need to be returned to school by the following Thursday.

The children have two special tasks this week. Firstly, please could you support the children to back their home learning book; this will help to protect the books when being brought to and from school. The children can choose to do this in whichever way they like - the more creative the better. The home learning book could be covered in wrapping paper, stick back plastic, newspaper, photographs etc. When the home learning books are returned next week I will stick a name label on each of them, so do not worry about making the name visible.

On the first page of the Home Learning book please could the children draw a picture of their family (furry friends included). Next week the children will have the chance to talk about the special people in their lives; an opportunity for the children to see how everyone’s family is unique and precious.

You will notice that the children will not be bringing a reading book home with them this weekend. Reading books will be coming home with the children from next week. Please encourage the children to read as much as they can over the weekend, prompting them to use their Fred Talk to sound out words they are struggling with.
