Phonics

Let’s start with a song…

Now practise your tricky words

For today’s phonics session you will need to work with a partner. Ask an adult or a sibling to play with you. This game is called Sentence Substitution. Adults, ask your child to write a sentence starter, choose from the list below or do all three –

The pigs hid in the…

The goats ran to the…

The duckling felt…

Once your child has written a sentence starter, get their partner (it might be you or another member of your family) to finish the sentence with a real or fun and silly ending. Encourage your child to read the whole sentence back adding in your chosen word. You can rub out the final word and repeat with a different one. Possible endings could include –

The pigs hid in the…mud/grass/shed/car/bed

The goats ran to the…chip shop/beach/field/farm

The duckling felt…sad/happy/upset/grumpy

Ask your child to read these riddles and tell you which traditional tales character they are about.

Tricky words are in red, don’t sound them out, and digraphs and trigraphs are underlined.

Literacy

For literacy this week we would like you to get as familiar with as many different traditional tales as you can. Refer to Monday’s session and watch, listen or read a different story each day or more if you like. 

PE

We will no longer be delivering a traditional PE session in school each week. We will however still be practising mindfulness, yoga and Just Dance in the classroom. We will provide you with links to the sessions we’re accessing at school so that you can carry out the same activities at home. Don’t forget to still go out for your daily exercise and if you are in school we will be spending a lot of time in the outside area. 

Mindfulness – breathing exercise

Listen to this calming mindful video. Turn off everything around you and find somewhere comfortable to sit down and take a moment to just concentrate on your breathing. It’s quite a long session at 12 minutes so you may want to break it into 2 chunks.
