Friday 1st May

Good morning Pimhill

Today is the 1st of May

Keep practicing saying the days of the week and the months of the year.

Continue with the English, Maths and Phonics that I linked on Monday.

We have been looking at plants, Pippa and her sister  have been drawing plants from her garden. See if you can have a go,  ask if you can have the flower in front of you  to look at it from different directions. Remember we drew Daffodils for St David’s day and looked at the red rose from England .

Have a lovely weekend

Good morning Pimhill,

We will continue with the Maths, English and Phonics as yesterday.

Remember with the phonics you can choose the Twinkl activities, education city or the letters and sounds videos. choose the one you enjoy doing.

Continuing our work on plants todays question is: Why are plants important to us?

One reason is that we eat lots of plants. Can you make a list of plants that we eat and sort the plnats depending on which part we eat? You can sort by stem, root and leaf.

This may help Plants we eat

Have a good day

Good Morning Pimhill,

Just a reminder yesterday on the class news I posted a link to more phonics and reading. If you can only do a small amount of home learning phonics and reading is the most important and you can now access levelled reading books.

Phonics is also available on twinkl home learning.

Today continue with both the maths on white rose and the English on oak national academy.

To continue work on minibeast have a go at one of these activities.

minibeast riddles

Can you sort minibeasts a different way? What about wings no wings?

You can use the pictures or draw pictures in two circles in your book.

If you made a minibeast house send a photo into school and I can add to our class page.

Have a great weekend.

Reading and Phonics lessons

Here are some useful links to phonics and reading aimed at Reception Years 1 and 2

Letter to parents and carers about online phonics lessons

There are daily lessons for Reception and Year 1 .

It  would  help Year 2’s that need a bit of extra practice.

Oxford Owl have opened their ebook library  to everyone so that children can access banded reading books.

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/reading-owl/library-page

To Choose the correct level use the letters and sounds levels.

Here is what has been covered in letters and sounds lessons

Reception are confident with phase 2 and have covered phase 3 once (it is recommended that it is covered twice). Children in  reception can read the phase 2 books  and the phase 3 books with support 

Year 1 are confident with phase 4 and phase 5. Some Children will be going onto phase 6 

Year 2 can read phase 5 and phase 6 and above.

Remember if you child is reluctant or struggling  go back a phase  to gain confidence.  

We  hope this helps with reading and phonics

Mrs Foster and Mrs Gregory
