Literacy
Big Book: The Ugly Duckling
Phonics: we have now been introduced to all our sounds. We will spend the next few weeks revising the sounds taught this year. It is important to know all the sounds before moving to Primary 3.
This week we will revise the sounds ‘s,a,t,p,i,n’. Activities for these sound can be found on Purple Mash and matching phonics books are on Bug Club. Also try to write words with this sound in them on your whiteboards and put them into sentences. E.g. sat, pin, sit, pat, spin, past.
HFW: this week's words are big, it, mum, of and on. Practise writing these words each day. Can you think of a sentence that uses the words? For example: Mum took a big bit of cake. I can see it on the car. Now write the sentence sounding out the words you don't know.
Reading: Remember to get on to Bug Club and read more books. You should be reading at least one book a day. Remember to click on the bugs in the book and answer the question. If you get it right the bug will fall asleep! Make them all fall asleep to close the book. Only closed books are counted!
Writing: this week we want you to retell our Big Book, The Ugly Duckling. Draw 3 or 4 pictures to tell the story in order and then write a sentence about each. Remember to use our time words in your writing; First, Then, After that, Later on. Get an adult to help you with the words you can't spell. Remember CAPITAL LETTERS, SPACES AND FULL STOPS! Try to read your story to an adult. Maybe you could take a photo of you with your story or video yourself reading it and post it on Facebook or send it to your teacher’s email? We would love to see them.
Numeracy
Number: This week we will continue to revise our number skills. You need to be able to recognise and write the numbers to 20, then 50 and then 100 as well as adding and subtracting. You will see activities for this on Purple Mash and Bug Club. Some of them you might have completed before but do them again as we need to make sure we can add and subtract for going to P3!
3D Shapes: We are going to continue to look at 3D and 2D shapes this week. Get someone at home to test you on the names of the shapes and their characteristics. Be careful not to mix up the names between 2D and 3D shapes!
You need to be able to name each shape and know its different properties.
Patterns: continue pattern work
We can't wait to see all your patterns!
1) Log in to Bug Club and in My Stuff you should see an icon for Active Maths. Here you will find games that support the learning this week. Get on and have fun!
2) Log in to Purple Mash and play the number, shape and pattern games we have added. Remember to save your work and then we can see it and comment on it.
