Newsletter 2 – Summer Term 23rd April
FS1 Happy Home Learning
We have been talking about our visit to the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. Talk to your child about different wild animals. What noises do they make? What do they eat? Etc.
FS2 Homework
Literacy -This week in literacy we have been looking at the story of The Jungle Book. We have watched clips from the film and discussed the events. We have created maps of the jungle and labelled them. The children have also created their own zigzag books looking at sequencing events in the story. See if you can practise sequencing events at home, e.g. you could read a story and discuss what happened, recount your day or a time of the day, talk about getting dressed, etc. We are continuing practising segmenting and blending with the phonic sounds that we already know and practising reading and writing VC and CVC words.
Numeracy -This week we have been learning about adding two amounts and finding out which amount is more? We have practised counting on and have talked to the children about how to do this using a number line, by moving on the first amount and then counting on the second one. You could practise adding small one digit numbers at home.
Year 1 Homework
Numeracy – We have been learning about solid 3D shapes. Please can you find cuboids, pyramids, cubes, cylinders and spheres around your home? Can you draw and label what you find?
Literacy – We have been finding out about Ancient Egypt through Flat Stanley’s adventures. Can you write 3 sentences to tell your grown up what you know about Egypt?
Year 2 Homework
Maths – Work on your partitioning to add:-
32 + 24
30 2 20 4
30 + 20 = 50
2 + 4 = 6
50 + 6 = 56
Literacy – Draw or make the magical object from your story this week. Can you describe it using adjectives for sounds and movement?
