Robin Class Home School

Week Commencing

Monday 29^th June 2020

Hello Robins,

I hope you had fun this weekend and are ready to start a new week of home learning challenges.

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. Do what you can, choose a peak challenge to suit you and don’t worry if you don’t have time to finish all of it.

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

Have a great week.

The challenge is online with access to ebooks, activities, clubs and story times.

Your special adult helper will need to sign up and create an account for you.

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.

This week’s lessons detailed in the table below:-

RWI Grp	Set Sound	Mon	Tue	Wed	Thu	Fri
Red/Green	2	air	ir	ou	oy	ay
Orange/Yellow Blue/Grey	3	o_e	u_e	aw	are	ur
Read Longer Words		ir/ur/er	ou / ow	ire	ear	ee / ea

This timetable is taken from that published by Read Write Inc but may not tally with what actually appears on the website after 9.30am!

These videos are on a repeat sequence between now and the end of term. 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 on the published schedule 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.

Optional:-

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.

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

If you are finding it difficult to fit everything in, please focus on the 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 – Simple common exception words.
	Spelling Quiz 2 – Words spelt with special friends /ve/ at the end.
	Spelling Quiz 3 – Plural words spelt with /s/ or /es/.

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 information text writing based around the terrifying Tyrannosaurs Rex!

Maths

We will continue to use White Rose Maths learning resources again this week. We will look at counting to 100, partitioning numbers and comparing numbers. 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.

Parent/Carer Note:

The lesson videos show a representation of a resource called ‘Base 10’ that we use in class to support children to partition and compare numbers. For Year 1, ‘Base 10’ is made up of plastic rods of 10 cubes to represent ten and single small plastic cubes to represent ones. So, the number 25 would be shown by two 10 rods and five 1 cubes.

As you don’t have Base 10 at home if your child needs extra support with today’s lesson use can use objects or the Number Pieces app on the following link to show them the numbers as tens and ones. https://www.mathlearningcenter.org/resources/apps/number-pieces

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.

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

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.
