Monday 20th April

 

New challenge day!!!

Ethan has been inspired by the following article https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-beds-bucks-herts-52303859 

As a result, Ethan is going to run 100 laps around his garden to raise money for the NHS to fight the Coronavirus. Please let me know if this is something that you would like to join in with too:) I think this is a fantastic idea - well done Ethan! You will see that there is a slot for this every day on our timetable this week. It is up to you if you decide to do it or not.

Reading – Please note the changes below for RWI phonics.

Oxford Owl have made available for parents all the ebooks linked to each RWI level. This means we no longer need to upload the books to the webpage. Instead, please go to the webpage below. If you go onto ‘ebooks’ then you will need to register (this is free of charge) and then you will be able to access all the ebooks and choose the correct banded level for your child. Please note that the RWI phonics scheme is based on lots of repetition. Therefore, we usually read the same book about 3 or 4 times before moving onto a new book. For some children they may need to read it more than this to ensure they are completely fluent in reading the book (no sounding out). 

Here is the link for the Oxford Owl reading.

This website also provides lots of other information for parents about phonics. It has other resources on here too should you wish to explore! 

 For every phonics session, please continue to watch the set 3 speed sounds at 10:30 on the Ruth Miskin Youtube channel. Then read a book from the webpage detailed above.

Guided reading – for those of you in guided reading, please complete the guided reading task on the webpage. 

11-11.15 2nd Breaktime - have a healthy snack and play.  
11.15- 12.15 

Maths To subtract numbers using tens and ones  Success criteria:

Experience – ‘A year of change’

1)Watch our new challenge video on the ‘2020: A  year of change challenge page’ on the website or on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8lo702To3Q  

2)We will be choosing a ‘rectangle’ of our view to draw and then colour. We will be learning how to sketch and how to use colouring pencils to shade. We will be creating a haiku poem to go alongside it.  

3) Create your initial task mindmap. What is the task? What do I need to know? What do I need to be able to do? (skills) use my mindmap to help you!   

4)Once you have done your mindmap, get a piece of paper, and cut a square/rectangle out of the middle of it. Use it to frame part of the view that you want to draw. Take a picture of what you have framed as this is what you will use to help you with your drawing this week. See mine below.
