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

Use your home school sharing book, exercise book or notebook to record your work. If you can, print any activity sheets that you need.     

 

If you’re looking for even more pirate activities then look in the booklet to try and find missing punctation and handwriting practice (p11-12), making a pirate hat (p13) and making a pirate map (p18).

Week Commencing

Monday 6^th July 2020

Hello Robins,

I hope you enjoyed writing your terrifying T-Rex information text last week and that you managed to try some circus themed learning activities. I enjoyed the plastic bag balancing circus skill!

I know that this has been a long term of learning at home and we are all missing school and our friends. There’s not long to go now before the Summer Holidays, so keep working hard for a bit longer and remember our school value of happiness.

There will be 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.

Spellings

Login to PurpleMash and try a Spelling Quiz challenge in your 2Dos.

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 /ff/, /ll/, /ss/, /zz/ and /ck/.
	Spelling Quiz 2 – Words spelt with special friends /er/ at the end.
	Spelling Quiz 3 – Words spelt with special friends /air/, /are/ and /ear/ all making an air sound.

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 be staying with Miss Browne at the Oak National Academy to explore and write some poetry.

Miss Browne has the /ir/ /ur/ /er/ 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.

Spellings

Login to PurpleMash and try a Spelling Quiz challenge in your 2Dos.

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.

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.
