Good morning

We hope you enjoyed yesterdays activities. We have loved learning about 3D shapes in school and are really starting to be able to name lots of them and talk about their properties.

Phonics

Today I would like you to go on a sound hunt. Can you find one object for each of the special friends you have covered (use your sound books to help you)

Next I would like you to draw each object and write the word to match. I would like you to sound out each word, not your grown-up and write it how you would spell it. Remember to use your Fred fingers to count to sounds as you Fred talk the word.

Maths

Today we are moving into the first of two days on pattern. We first looked at pattern in Autumn one. Next we are going to look at more complex repeating patterns.

 Have a look at the PowerPoint that explains today’s learning.

Link to PowerPoint 

At school we will be creating repeating patterns using shapes, counters, threading beads and other objects.

You could work on this practically at home using everyday object. Alternatively here is an optional worksheet you could complete.

Optional worksheet

Talk4Writing

Today we are going to use the plan you made yesterday to create your innovated Gingerbread story.

Start by asking your grown up to draw a reversed s and draw a story map for your story. Next tell your story using your map. 

You can either ask your grown-up to write the words you are saying or you could video yourself telling the story. Please add it to Tapestry so we can share it with your friends.

Afternoon tasks 

Today we are continuing our topic on Carlton. Use the photographs of Carlton to talk about key buildings or land marks in Carlton. Can your child recognise and name the places they see?
