• Have a go at playing the ‘Hit the Button‘ game on TopMarks – Work on Number Bonds to 20 and Halves to 10.
• Print-at-home Maths task worksheets based on our last two weeks of learning: Division by Sharing and Simple Fractions

ENGLISH
Phonics

• Complete the Phase 5 worksheet. What is the word shown in the picture? Can you think of another word using that sound? Extra challenge: Write a sentence containing your new word.
• If you can, print the Phase 4 Phonics Booklet. Complete a little bit each day until you have finished it.

Writing – The past few weeks we have been learning the story of Handa’s Surprise. We have innovated it as a class, changing the characters and fruits. I would like you to show what you know by writing your very own invented version of Handa’s Surprise. Perhaps instead of Handa, you could use your own name! Don’t forget that you must use:

• Capital letters
• Full stops, question marks or exclamation marks ( . ? ! )
• Adjectives to describe the food items and characters.

Parents, you could photograph and email me the finished stories on our Class 1 email address.

Reading:

• Select and read a book from your Bug Club login. Read and complete the bug questions, so I can see how you are doing and help where I can.
• Read daily for at least 15 minutes: from one of your school reading books, a book you have at home.
• Log every time you read in your reading journal.
• Talk to someone about the book you have read – what was your favourite part? What might have happened differently to change the ending?
• You could log onto your MicroLibrarian account to browse the online school library catalogue and add a book review.

Reading Comprehension: Read the Seren’s Seasons text. Read through and answer the questions underneath. Note for parents: Children should read independently where possible but may need support to decode some words. There are 3 ‘levels’ of comprehension questions – start with the easiest and work through up to Level 3 if you feel your child is able to. Answers are included.

Grammar: Follow the lesson powerpoint on -ed endings on how to make verbs past tense. Once you have been through the lesson, the worksheets below can be completed. If you cannot print the worksheets, the words and sentences can be written out on paper.

• Activity Sheet – Sorting -ed sounds
• Activity Sheet – Adding -ed
• Activity Sheet – In the Past
• Application Activity Sheet
