Phonics:

Please look at a sound each day. Begin by revising all Phase 5 sounds from the centre pages in your reading record. Then watch Mr Thorne does phonics.

Write a list of words for each sound or see how many words you can find containing this sound in your reading books.

Reading:

Each day read a book from your Bugclub selection or register to use Oxford Owl online. This is a free resource.

Kinetic Letters:

This week please use your Kinetic Letter Mat to practise h, n, m, r. One letter each day.

Spelling:

Please practise five words each day from your 100 word list. Write each word three times then try writing it again without looking.

Writing:

This week we are having a Spring focus:

1.  Use your senses and make a list of adjectives (describing words) about Spring. 

2. Can you use your list of adjectives to write a Spring poem.

3. Write facts about Spring using three magic sentences. Explain to your grown ups how to write a magic sentence. Remember to use a capital letter, a full stop or exclamation mark, finger spaces and use your phonics for spelling. 

4. Draw and label some Spring pictures. 

Maths:

Year 1 will be looking at place value with numbers to 50. Children will be representing numbers to 50 by identifying how many tens and ones each number has. e.g. 37 three tens and seven ones. Children will identify numbers that are one more and one less with numbers up to 50. They can use their 100 square if needed.  Children will order numbers to 50.
