Phonics

 

Learning focus: Tricky Word Slam

 

Tricky words are those that cannot be read using Phonics. These are sometimes referred to as common exception words. There are two lists of examples at the bottom of this page. Choose a small number (4-6) of tricky words and practise reading these with your child. Lay them out in a row. Say a tricky word and your child should try to beat you to it by ‘Slamming’ the correct word with their hand. Introduce new tricky words one at a time.

 

Challenge: Include a red herring. Say a word that isn’t in the pile – if children recognise this, they shout out ‘Red herring!’ and win a point. If they miss it, you win the point.

 

 

Maths

 

Learning Objective: Uses everyday language of measures (size, weight and capacity) when comparing quantities or solving problems.

 

 

Who in your family has the biggest feet?  Find a way to measure them?  You could draw around them or maybe compare some shoes?  It’s up to you to decide how to conduct your investigation.

 

EAD

 

Learning Objective: Safely uses and explores a variety of materials, tools and techniques, experimenting with colour, design, texture, form and function

 

Look at the picture below – can you find objects that would make good wind chimes?  You will need to paint them and thread them onto string or another kind of thread.  Which materials would make the best sounds when blown together by the wind?

 

Have a fabulous half term week and I’ll look forward to seeing you all, one way or another, in Term 6.

Please say a prayer every day that this strange situation will end soon.  Lots of love
