Week 4

Hello,

Welcome to Week four. Here are activities for you to choose from if you wish.
I am in school teaching Monday-Wednesday so will contact you for a FaceTime on Thursday or Friday. Feel free to send me work or ask any questions over the week and I will respond as quickly as I can. Otherwise all the best and no pressure on what you chose to do. Chose what works for your family :)

READING:
*Read every day for 10+ minutes.  This could also be you reading to your child. Ask questions about the story, point out words, talk about what is happening.
*Read a range of materials e.g magazines, newspapers.

Here is a reading activity about fire fighters:

POEM:

*Read poem and share with someone in your bubble.
*Can you draw some pictures to put with the poem.
*Can you make up actions to the poem, video it and send to Miss Love.

WRITING & Handwriting:
*Practise writing a short story. Have 3-4 sentences, sound out unfamiliar words by using the letter cards and edit together. Feel free to send me your writing :)
Acrostic poem for Handwriting: Can you come up with a word or sentence for each letter of Autumn.

Write a letter to someone who you have not seen in isolation or an essential worker.

HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS:
Your child should be aiming to know all of these words. They start at Magenta, red, yellow, blue, green, orange, turquoise. Repetition is key with learning these words. Say them, write them, make them (chalk, leafs, blocks, word tiles). Make the tricky words into flash cards, or a set of memory, place them around the house...make it fun :)

MATHS:
Practise some basic facts:
Ones that make 5 e.g. 2+3=, 4+1=, 0+5=
Ones that make 10 e.g. 5+5=, 9+1= 8+2=
Larger number addition: 14+23 (place value)
Timestables: 2, 5, 10

DMIC Questions:

1) There were 24 wheels at the scooter park how many scooters were there if each scooter had 2 wheels?

2) Vash and Sativa brother have 19 chapter books and 14 picture books. How many
books do they have altogether?

3) Your sister picked 11 plums from the neighbour’s tree. How many more plums
does she need to have 23 plums?

4) Mason collected some frangipani flowers. Lucius gave him 6 more. Now he has 23
frangipani flowers. How many frangipani flowers did Mason start with?
















Te Reo:
Encourage your child to learn their Mihi and maybe you can learn it with them too. Words are below and the translation. If you have your own personal Mihi and extra line please use that. Once your child knows it by heart please video and send to me.
