Even though we can’t hand in our home learning next Monday - please complete the following and hand back on our return - Thank you

READING

The children will be visiting the library this Friday - our final day. They will be bringing this book and a couple of books that match their ZPD. Please read daily - a break from this routine can have an impact over 2 weeks. Reading underpins all learning.

Reading opens up different worlds! Enjoy!

MATHS

We are now ready to tackle division problems. Please enter your TT Rockstars account and when you go into “Jamming” please select Division Only or Multiplication and Division. I’ve attached the image of the Jamming page to show you the buttons - have fun. Remember we can use skip counting to find out how many equal groups make the total.

SPELLING

Last week we explored words ending in the “l” sound. The spellings had different letters at end - le al il al - gosh it was tricky!!!

Play zones with your child:

This games works in a similar way to the ‘Corners’ party game. Place -le, -el, -al, -il on paper in four corners of the room. These need to be large enough to see from a distance. Provide paper and chunky pens in each zone. The adult says aloud a focus word and then within the context of a sentence, e.g. pencil. I’ve lost my pencil. Children must decide which spelling is needed to write the focus word and then move to the appropriate ‘zone’. Once in the zone, children can practise writing the word on the paper and decide whether it ‘looks right’

Words to use:

bottle middle castle muddle battle ankle tickle circle giggle puddle eagle

camel marvel travel squirrel angel parcel gospel

medal animal magical pedal

pencil until pupil gerbil

Have fun!

HANDWRITING

Write a 5 sentence diary challenge!! It has to be funny and written using your very best handwriting. No more or less than 5 sentence! Make sure it makes sense and is super neat!

Do complete before the holidays - then you can relax
