Tuesday 23rd February 

Good morning, boys and girls! Here are your activities for today. 

Topic 

I hope you are excited by our new 'Superhero' topic! Today we are going to share a new class story. We will be completing lots of activities linked to this book, over the next few weeks. 

'Supertato' by Sue Hendra 

Please can you share this story together, using the Youtube link below. 

After listening to the story, please can you answer these questions... 

Phonics 

Please re-cap all previously learnt sounds.

 Our new tricky word is said. Teach with 'my turn, your turn'. 

Tap, Tap, Read game-using tricky words I the to no go be you your into my of 

This is a version of the 'Duck, Duck, Goose' ring game. You'll need a set of plastic cups, the more the merrier. You could have little boxes just anything that can't be seen through. Arrange the cups into a circle and then place a bit of paper under each one with a word  on. In the centre of the circle you'll need to write down the winning word.

Your child touches the top of each cup (just like a head in Duck, Duck, Goose) and says 'tap'. They continue around the circle and then they choose to say the word 'read' whenever they want (they could just say Duck, Duck, Goose if they wanted). They read the word under that cup. If it is not the winning word they turn the cup up and continue to say 'tap, tap, read' etc. The goal is to obviously find the winning word. They get a point when they do and repeat the game with a different winning word.

Maths 

Today, boys and girls, we are going to be copying a rhythmic pattern!  

Please can you listen to the song 'We Will Rock You' by Queen. Can you clap and tap along to the rhythm, following the pattern of actions? Can you tell me about the pattern? I would love to see a video of your performance!  

Wednesday 24th February 

Happy Wednesday, everyone! Here are your activities for today. 

Topic 

Supertato Character Description 

Share the Youtube Supertato story (uploaded yesterday) 

 I would like you to choose between either Supertato, or the Evil Pea. Draw a picture of your character. You may like to use the Supertato or Evil Pea Writing Frame, to help you. Write a short description of your character, e.g. He is green. He is bad. He has a black mask.  

Maths 

Using two or 3 colours (or more!), make your own repeating pattern. You could use crayon, paint or coloured pens. If you have access to a printer, you may like to complete the Stripy Scarves activity. 

Thursday 25th February 

Good morning, everyone!

Maths

Today, I would like you to look at these patterns... 

* What is the same? 

* What is different? 

* What is different about the pattern below? 

Topic

What do you think has happened to Supertato?

In school, we think the Evil Peas must have been up to mischief! Have you seen anything suspicious, in your house? 

Can you please help Supertato by making an 'Evil Pea' trap? Draw a plan of your trap first and then talk to your grown up about how you will make it. You may have household items, such as baskets, boxes and tubs, that would be perfect to use. Please can you make a sign for your trap, so members of your family can tell what it is? I can't wait to see your finished models!
