Reading

If you have a Lexia login please try to do some at home – we are all trying to meet our weekly targets. It doesn’t matter if you have already met yours; the more you do, the better you get!

If you finish your reading book and want to do the quiz you can login here. Don’t forget you can quiz on your library book or home books too. (Not all books have quizzes but it’s worth typing in the title to check)

Writing

This week we have been practising writing dialogue for characters and punctuating speech properly. Lots of children told me they’d like to practise more at home. If you would like to do some, you could practise writing what people say at school. For example –

• “Use your best singing voice,” said Mr Price.
• “Be kind to each other,” encouraged Mr Mason.

What other things can you think of that other teachers and school staff would say? Check you punctuate your sentences accurately. I’d love to read some next week.

Maths

Practise the number bonds of 13 and their subtraction facts.

10+3   9+4   8+5   7+6   6+7   5+8   4+9    3+10

13-3   13-4   13-5   13-6   13-7   13-8   13-9   13-10

A great way to help your child with sharpening up their number bond recall is to play games. For example this week the focus is on number bonds of 13. Make some cards, each with a digit on: ….  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  10 Lay the cards face down on the table then turn 2 cards over. If they are a number bond of 13, keep the cards. If not, turn them both face down again. Don’t forget to practise the subtraction facts too.  Let me know if you have another game that helps you.

Have a great weekend. See you all next week for lots more good stuff.
