Phonics.

Today in Phonics, we are going to be looking at the new grapheme 'oy'.  The phrase we say for 'oy' is "toy for a boy".

First, you need to revisit your phase 3 sounds using the slides below. Next, watch my video of me introducing the sound 'oy' and modelling segmenting and blending 'oy' words. Then, practise reading 'oy' words from the list below. Finally, have a go at reading real and nonsense words by playing the 'picnic and pluto' game by clicking on the picture below. 

Handwriting.

Today, we are going to practise writing the letters o and r together. The phrase we say is "shut the door".

Watch the video below to see how to form the letters correctly, then practise writing your letters in the air and say the phrase. Then, have a go and write your letters on lined paper.

Maths

This week in maths we are going to begin looking at subtraction. Today, I would like you to practise counting backwards from a given number less than 10. For example, your grown up says 8 and then you should say 7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0.

English

Today, I would like you to look back at the story of Stick Man, using the slides I added last week or the YouTube link. While listening to the story, see if you recognise any rhyming words. After you have listened to the story, have a chat to your grown ups.  Then write the pairs of words that rhyme together, for example, jog and dog.

Challenge.

Everyday I am going to set you a fun challenge. Today's challenge is how many star jumps can you do in 1 minute? Ask your grown up to email me your score and I will create a league table below!

You could then see how many star jumps your grown ups and brothers and sister can do!

Then, using your story sheets from yesterday have a try to draw your part, part, whole models on paper.

Science

In Science last week you looked at objects and the materials they were made from. This week, I would like you look at the properties of some more objects. The property of an object is what it looks like, what it feels like and what it can do. Watch the video and listen to some of the words to describe properties of materials then, using the activity sheets, have a go at testing the properties of some objects at home. You may need your adult to help you with some of the extension tests.

There is also a 'Material Song' for you to dance along to, have fun with your Science!
