Robin Class 15th June – Wicklewood Primary School and Nursery

To Master Home School, Keep It Fun and Focus on the Basics - Bloomberg

Hello Robins.

I hope you had a nice weekend. There is a video message from me on the school website on Monday morning to start the week.

You will find this week’s Robin Class English and Maths activities below. Just to let parents know, there is a fair bit of guided writing on Thursday and Friday in English but do what you can and don’t worry if you don’t have time to finish all of this.

Parents/carers can email me at robin@wicklewood.norfolk.sch.uk with any questions, and you can send me one piece of work a week that you are proud of. All emails must be from a parent email account. I am working in school, so there may be a delay in receiving a response when I am teaching.

I will continue to provide feedback on any Purple Mash work and comment on your posts of the Purple Mash Robin Class Blog.

Phonics

Please continue to access the ‘Read Write Inc Phonics Lessons at Home’ page on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ for the daily phonics and spelling lessons with Rosie.

The sound your child will need to focus on will depend on their RWI group before the school closure.

Orange/Yellow Blue/Grey	3	ow	ai	oa	Ew	ire

Please note that the Speed Sound, Spelling and Read Longer words videos are now repeating. Repetition is an important part of embedding phonic knowledge so please continue to follow these lessons. If you are following set 2 sounds and are feeling very confident, try set 3 sounds instead.

All lessons will be available at 9.30am for 24 hours.

For children in Red/Green RWI Groups, also watch the ‘Read Red Words 1’ daily film.

For children in Orange/Yellow/Blue/Grey RWI Groups, watch ‘Read longer words’ and ‘Read Red Words 2’ films.

For children in Orange RWI Group, watch Read Red Words 1 if you are not feeling confident about Read Words 2.

NEW (Optional Activity)

For children in Red/Green RWI Groups, you can watch the ‘Read and Hold a Sentence 1’ film and complete the sentence writing activity.

For children in Orange/Yellow/Blue/Grey RWI Groups, watch ‘Read and Hold a Sentence 2’ film and complete the sentence writing activity.

For more information about Read and Hold a Sentence visit https://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/find-out-more/parents/.

All films will be in separate categories on the YouTube channel.

If you are finding it difficult to fit everything in, please focus on thye Speed Sound and Spelling video lessons.

Any spellings can be completed in the home school sharing book, an exercise book or a notebook.

Spellings

When you launch the 2Do, you will be given some options about how long you will see the word for before it disappears. Give yourself longer if you are not feeling confident.

Choose your own peak challenge and remember that mistakes are part of learning. You only need to complete one spelling 2Do, but you can do more if you like!

	Spelling Quiz 1 – Words spelt with special friends /ee/.
	Spelling Quiz 2 – Words spelt with special friends /oo/ (as in zoo).
	Spelling Quiz 3 – Words spelt with special friends /ph/ or /wh/.

Keep a note of any words that you find difficult to spell, and try the following:-

1. Write the words onto cards (not too many at a time). Say the word out loud.

2. If the word can be split into its sounds, say the word in a ‘robot voice’.

3. Look at the word trace over the letters with your finger.

4. Copy the word and say the letters or sounds as you write it. Copy it again.

5. Cover the word and try and write the word saying it as you write – peep if you need to!

6. Check the word you have written matches the word on the card and say it again as you check.

7. Keep writing the word until you can write it without having to peep.

8. For words that are tricky and are not as easy to learn, take an imaginary picture of the word with your imaginary camera – imagine the word is big, coloured red, lit up by fireworks, has spiders crawling on it. Shut your eyes and try and picture the word. Try and write it down imagining the picture of the word you see in your head.

English

For English this week, we will return to Miss Browne at the Oak National Academy for some fiction writing based around story of The Tiger Who Came to Tea. A word mat can be found in the home learning to assist with spellings.

Miss Browne has the /ee/ /ea/ /y/ alternative sounds (phonemes) as her sound of the week. This is helpful revision and spelling practice but depending upon your child’s phonic progress they may not know all of these sounds yet.

Please ensure that you keep following Rosie on the Read Write Inc phonics lessons on YouTube outlined above for your daily phonics learning.

There are one, two or three peak challenges each day. Remember to choose something which you feel you can do but will challenge you.

Stick puppets are available to download from home learning page, if you would like to use them when retelling the story. You need to print them (ideally on card) and then tape them to a lollipop stick or something similar.

It would be great to see any work you are proud of on the Robin Class Blog on Purple Mash.

Maths

We will continue to use White Rose Maths learning resources again this week to recap our counting in twos, five and tens (an important skill before learning these times tables in Year 2) and adding in equal groups. Friday will be a fun maths day!

There is a video lesson presentation for each day focussing on the learning. There are separate activity and answer sheets on the school website for each day.

If you have access to a printer, then please print out the activity sheet. If you cannot print this document, ask an adult to help you create a frame &/or draw pictures like the activity sheet in your home school sharing book, exercise book or notebook. Adults can help you to use the separate answer sheets to ‘tick or fix’ your work.

If your child finds these activities challenging, always spend time seeing the maths first by manipulating physical objects and then drawing pictures. This is more important than completing an activity sheet. Should you need any guidance email Mr Allard at robin@wicklewood.norfolk.sch.uk.

There are one, two or three peak challenges. Remember to choose something which you feel you can do but will challenge you.
