English- Continuing with the story 'What the Ladybird Heard' I would like you to think of a new character that the thieves would like to steal instead of the fine prize cow. Draw and label it. e.g. The award winning turtle. The fast moving cheetah. etc

Phonics- Today in phonics we are going to be recapping the sound 'f' watch the video here. https://watchkin.com/621a4ac860 Can you practise writing the sound f. Can you write the words in the pictures below.

Maths - This week in maths we are going to be learning about doubling.

Tuesday 9.2.21

English- Today I would like you to label the characters from the story 'What the Ladybird Heard' Either download the sheet below (I will put this on Class Dojo too) or just draw the characters and write their names next to it. See picture below for the characters. REMEMBER: When writing use your phonics to sound out and write the words.

PARENTS: Your child might write the words differently than we do when using their phonics this is ok. For example they might write caw  for cow. This is because when you sound it out this is what it sounds like. At school we encourage the children to write what they can hear as this is how their writing develops.

Phonics- Today we are revisiting 'e' https://watchkin.com/ec2563c14e. Try writing the sound. Can you write some other sounds that you know. Next, play the Fred Frog game ' What is  at the Zoo' https://watchkin.com/4efa8020b6

Reading - Have a look at the sound blending book  10. Remember to sound out and blend to read the words. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/api/interactives/30665.html

Maths - Today we are continuing with doubling. Can you remember any doubles from yesterday?

 Watch and learn to sing the doubles song? https://watchkin.com/74fa900f86 

Then have a got at completing the sheet as seen in the picture below (You can download this at the bottom and I will also put on your Class Dojo portfolio for you.) OR if you have some paints at home you could paint doubles. Make a certain number of dots on the paper then fold it over to make double.
