Week 5

Hello,

Welcome to week 5 :)
Hopefully not much longer and we will be back into school.
Again please pick a choose what works for you.

This week I will do a group zoom on Friday at 2:30.  I will also be contacting you for FaceTimes during the week. Will message our Facebook chat or text you to get a time that suits.
Pleasure do not feel pressure to do all these tasks. Use what works for you.

Continue to send me photos of the children's work :)

WRITING:
Encourage your child to write a short story every day. The more the practise the more they will be confident. Have their letter card beside them as this will help with unfamiliar words by using their sound knowledge. Remind them of describing words, full stops, capital letters, Here goes some fun writing ideas for you to try :)

READING:
Keep up the reading every day 10-15 minutes.
Get your child to read, read to them, ask them questions about the story.

Reading comprehension:

Practise high frequency words:
Repetition is key! Your child should be aiming to know all of these words. Say them, write them, put them into sentences, play memory, flash cards.

MATHS:
-Start by practising counting in 2s, 5s, 10s.
-Basic facts warm up: Make 5 e.g. 3+2= 4+1=. Make up to 10 e.g. 9+1=, 6+4=
