Today’s lessons follow the same format as yesterday, lots of people have emailed to say that the first day went well so I thought it would be a good idea to repeat the same activities – with some small changes – as I might help transitioning back into Home learning mode.
Phonics – repeat games from yesterday with different words
Year 1 is sound mat BINGO!! All you need is the sound mats and your drywipe pen that were sent home. Start on the Phase 3 mat which is purple. Say a sound for example /ee/ and then your child needs to circle that sound on the mat. This supports both hearing the sound (phoneme) and seeing it / finding it in written form (grapheme). You will see the images with the sound support how they are pronounced, for example the /air/ sound is with a picture of a chair.
Keep going until you have a line – then wait for the calls of BINGO!!!!!
Next move onto the Phase 5 mat which is pink. These are more challenging as they are the alternate ways to make the sounds. As there are now more than one way to make the same sound you might want to use the image to point them in the right direction, for example /igh/ in pie. Can they tell you the letter names that are making that sound… I and E.
Next have a go at writing some alien words!! It is important to emphasize that these words are NOT real but you can still sound them out. You can make these words up, say them and get your child to write them down. There are some examples below in case you get stuck for ideas….

Remember -in these activities we are looking to check that the children are breaking down the words into all of the sounds that they can hear. It is not a spelling exercise as the words are not real. Focus on stretching out the words and making sure all sounds are represented when writing the words down.

Thank you to everyone who sent a picture of the first part of their story map yesterday – they looked great. Today carry on mapping the rest of our story. Make sure you recap from the begining as the main purpose of this activity is to help you become familiar with the text and learn it off by heart. See if your child can remember some of the ways we practice it at school – for example you say a sentence then they say a sentence. Speed story – use the story mpa, how quickly can you retell the story?! It is really important during this stage that you correct them if they get any bits wrong or in a muddle as we are really focusing on learning the text. Tommorow we will start some activities.
Maths -Multiplication
Please use the link below to get to ‘White Rose Maths’. The activities it takes to you follow on from the Maths No Problem sessions about ‘making equal groups’. You can print these sheets off and work through the questions if you would like to, but it is not essential. Also you may need some objects which can be used to support the questions. You might ask your child to ‘show you’ what it would look like using socks like in the first question.
Copy the link below into your search bar if you are having trouble with the link.
Hopefully these questions will help to consolidate the learning from the Maths No Problem sessions before the Easter break and will provide another way of looking at and working through multiplication questions.
