Reading  

 

RWI – watch the relevant speed sounds lesson:  

Set 1: https://youtu.be/FePYTcGHaIs  

Set 2: https://youtu.be/6HSGJdTBYYw 

Set 2 –  If you have been learning set 2, you now need to move on to the next set of sounds (3):

Set 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpzdndc6G9E  

 

Then read the RWI book online https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-schemes-oxford-levels/read-write-inc-phonics-guide/ 

 

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). 

A general guide is: 

1st read – decoding all the words – sound out as much as you need to. 

2nd read – read for fluency (try to read with more fluency and expression). 

3rd read – read with fluency, expression and comprehension. Try answering the comprehension questions at the back. 

 

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

 

Guided reading  

Complete the guided reading task at the bottom of the webpage. If the reading is taking you longer than the time allocated, then feel free to share the reading with an adult.

Optional 3rd task – If you feel confident with dividing using sharing, solve the ‘year 2 maths challenges’ attached to the webpage.  

 

4th task - Look at the success criteria. Did you meet the success criteria? What did you understand? What did you find tricky?

Task 2: 

Today you will be answering the questions on equal grouping.  you will be drawing the representations of the groups. Once you have drawn the number of groups and found the total turn this into a multiplication.  Example below. 

  

Step 1: find the number of groups you need. 

Step 2: split the number of sweets equally into each group. 

Step 3: find how many sweets are in each group. 

Step 4: turn this into a multiplication. 

 

Answer as many questions as you can within the lesson, don’t worry if you can't answer them all.  

  

Task 3 - Optional extension:  
if you would like to challenge yourself try writing your own question for equal grouping. Then show your working out and answer your own question. 

 

Task 4: 

At the end of the lesson think about whether you have met today’s success criteria. You could write at the bottom of your work how you got on and how you think you could make your work even better.

Mental Arithmetic 

Year 1’s if you still need practise counting in 2’s then please continue to work on this instead of moving on to the new target below.  

Year 2’s if you still need practise recalling you two times tables then please continue to work on this instead of moving on to the new target below. 

  

Year 1 – you need to now work on counting confidently in 5’s up to 100. You need to be able to do this verbally.  

Here are some activities to help you practise: 

Song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh8YmvJuJ8A  

Game – duck shoot (select duck 5 then count on from the numbered duck until you get to the duck showing the same number as the target)  http://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/duckShoot/index.html  

 
Activities – write the multiples of 5 on pieces of paper and put them around the room/outside. How quickly can you go and point to them in the correct order? You could try starting at any number and seeing if you can continue from that number.  

  

Year 2- you need to work on your 5 times table.

Task 2:  

Using what you have learnt this week on sketching, scale and positioning you will be creating your final drawing of the setting description. 

 

At the Beach 

As the sun rises with a cool breeze, a gentle swish of golden sand blows quickly through the air. In the distance, the fluffy clouds dance across the bright blue sky in the sunny morning air. Proudly a lonely palm tree stands, hovering over the never-ending blue sea. One by one, the coconuts on the palm tree fall painfully with a bash into the golden sand and a splash into the blue sea. Underneath your relaxed feet, you feel the warmth of the golden sand between your toes and the cool water splashing in your face. You smell the salty water drifting all around the place. The silent sea is still and crystal clear. Suddenly, baby dolphins splash through the ocean, a fountain of water coming from them.
