The link 3 for the phonics game can be found below too.

The optional reading comprehension PDF can also be found below (Sycamore 17.7.20 – Reading – The sick dragon). The reading and questions are on 2 separate PDF files.

Remember, if you get stuck on a word use the rule:

• Special friends
• Fred talk

If the word is too long and you’re finding it tricky then cover part of the word and sound that part out before moving your hand to read the last part.

Writing

You are learning to write sentences using a capital letter and a full stop.

You are learning to extend your sentences using and or because.

Today your child is going to continue writing their own fairy tale story carrying on from what they wrote yesterday.

1. Encourage your child to read through their work from yesterday to remind themselves of what their story was about.
2. Your child needs to continue writing sentences in their story.  Remind your child to use the story word mat to support their writing. (This PDF was attached with yesterday’s daily planner).
3.  

Remember to ‘pinch your sounds’ when writing a longer word.

Re-read your work to check that it makes sense.

Check your capital letters and full stops.

Maths

You are learning to solve problems with position and direction.

Follow the link 4 to the White Rose website. Most days your child will complete a lesson by watching a video and then having a go at the sheet which links with the clip. The sheet for today’s lesson can be found below (Sycamore 17.7.20 – Maths).

Basic maths facts

You are learning to partition numbers into tens and ones.

Click on link 5 below which will take you to ‘Place value basketball’. You can choose the level to start on, but I would suggest working on the lower numbers first and then working your way up. To play this game you need to look at the pieces and work out what number is being represented. Then, click on the basketball with the number you think is correct.

Support: The longer sticks represent a 10 and then each small square represents a 1.

Therefore, if the picture showed two long sticks and five small squares this would be 25.

Topic work

Parents: The children will be working on this sheet over two days in school so please don’t expect your child to complete this today. I would expect them to get the first done part today and the next floor written tomorrow. Encourage them to really focus on the quality not the quantity of their writing!

Remember to ‘pinch your sounds’ when writing a longer word.

Select level 2 (Read time to the hour and half an hour) to begin with and then if your child would like more of a challenge then they can try some of the other levels.

Parents: I would recommend leaving the clock at 12 hour clock as the children have not been taught 24 hour digital time yet. If you feel your child will be confident with 24 hours then they are welcome to have a go!

Topic work

You are learning to build a simple shelter.

Today I would like you to have a go at building a shelter for a little toy of yours. This could be inside with newspaper, Lego or even a pack of cards. If you have a garden (and it’s dry!) you could build a little shelter using only things you can find on the ground such as twigs and leaves. Click on the PDF below to see some ideas.

Now it’s time to see if it can withstand the Wolf’s huff and puff! To do this try huffing and puffing yourself or waft it with a magazine or small book.

I would love to see your shelter building so please take a photo and either share this on the class blog or send it to our class email.

Writing

You are learning to use adjectives to describe a material.

You are learning to use your phonic sounds to spell words correctly.

Over the course of this week your child is going to design and create a house advertisement linked to the story of the 3 little pigs. Today they will be focusing on different materials and adjectives they could use to describe them.

1. Go through the PowerPoint which has been saved as a PDF below (English – Materials). What words could you use to describe each material? Can you think of any other materials? (e.g. clay, rubber, paper etc.)
2. Next, they need to decide on the materials they will use for the items listed in the table (see English PDF – Materials for their house). Encourage your child to use a range of materials. Then, in the next column your child needs to write an adjective which matches this material (e.g. wood and hard).

Parents: If you are unable to print the sheet then your child can write/draw their answers in their orange homework books. Please encourage your child to write the short date above today’s work in their books.

Remember to ‘pinch your sounds’ when writing a longer word.

Ensure that your adjective matches the material you have chosen.

Topic work

You are learning to design a house for the 3 little pigs.

Use the PDF sheet below (Topic – Designing their house) to draw the different parts in your house. Think carefully about what you would need to include, such as a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, lounge etc.)

What furniture would you need in each room?

Remember to include the furniture which you wrote about in your writing.

Try to use a ruler to label the different parts of your house.

Writing

You are learning to write sentences with capital letters, full stops and finger spaces.

You are learning to write sentences using and to join your ideas.

You are learning to use a range of adjectives.

Today your child is going to write about an adventure under the sea. It is up to them how they write this. They can either write a story using the sentence starter:

One day deep down under the sea

Alternatively, they can just write sentences to describe what they can see.

I can see…

They can use the picture at the top of the English – Sea Adventure PDF file to get them started.

Basic maths facts

You are learning to partition numbers into tens and ones.

Click on link 5 below which will take you to ‘Place value basketball’. You can choose the level to start on, but I would suggest working on the lower numbers first and then working your way up. To play this game you need to look at the pieces and work out what number is being represented. Then, click on the basketball with the number you think is correct.

Support: The longer sticks represent a 10 and then each small square represents a 1.

Therefore, if the picture showed two long sticks and five small squares this would be 25.

Topic work

You are learning to listen carefully to spot instruments in pirate shanti songs.

Click on the topic link 6 below and listen to the pirate songs. As you are listening make notes of what instruments you think you can hear.

Use the link 7 for instruments below to listen to what they sound like.

Which is your favourite pirate music? Why?

Did any of them sound familiar?

Use words and sentences like:

It made me think of…

It sounded dramatic when…

Use words such as volume, pitch and tempo (see definitions below).

Volume - how loud it sounds

Pitch - high and low notes

Tempo - how fast or slow the music sounds

Challenge: you could create a piece of art work as you listen to show how it makes you feel or think.

You could also have a go at drawing some other sea creatures by clicking on the art tutorial below (link 8).

Here you will find the instructions for your phonics/reading session. You will also need your sounds book (set 2/3) to support these activities.

Remember, if you get stuck on a word use the rule:

If the word is too long and you’re finding it tricky then cover part of the word and sound that part out before moving your hand to read the last part.

Writing

You are learning to complete sentences.

Begin today’s lesson by watching the video link 4 below to familiarise your child with what they might see under the water.

1. Read the beginning of each diary entry on the PDF – English file below. 
2. Your child will then need to complete the missing parts of each sentence.

(Remind your child that the capital letter has already been written on the first 3 days and Sunday’s).

Parents: If you are unable to print the sheets then your child can write/draw their answers in their orange homework books. Please encourage your child to write the short date above today’s work in their books.

Remember to ‘pinch your sounds’ when writing a longer word.

Re-read your work to check that it makes sense.

Check your capital letters and full stops.

Parents: I would encourage your child to write for 20minutes and then stop wherever they are. I don’t expect your child to complete both pages so they can pick the parts that they have ideas for.

Every Wednesday, your child will need to complete a Maths activity mat. This will incorporate a range of skills which they will have learnt in the classroom. Today’s activity mat can be found below (Sycamore1.7.20– Maths).
