On Friday your split folders went home which will help you keep engaged with your learning over the three days of lockdown this week. If you would like additional work, or you finish everything in your split folder, please look below for some ideas which Amy and I have worked on together.
Stay smiling :)

Reading
We have been learning how to pick ‘just right’ books and build good reading habits.
- Practise choosing a ‘just right’ book from the books you have at home. This should be a book where you can read most of the words.
- Read for 10 minutes on your own (try not to talk to anyone or move spots, stay focused on your reading!)
- Read a book with someone else at home. This could be a more challenging book.
- Draw a picture from the books you read. It could be your favourite illustration or character.
- Draw or tell someone about the strategies you used to solve any words you didn’t know.
- Did you use the pictures to help you?
- Did you stretch out the sounds in the word?
- Did you look for smaller words inside that word?
Writing
We have been practising Personal Writing in the classroom where we can write and draw about things that interest us.
Pick some of these things to create for your personal writing at home:
You could create a book for a brother, sister or cousin.
You could keep a diary for the next few days about the things you do at home, like a recount.
You could create a diagram of a pet you have at home or your favourite animal or even your bedroom. It needs to have labels as well.
REMEMBER- You can draw AND write when you are doing your Personal Writing

Maths
We have been learning about how maths is all around us.
Get some paper to draw on and a pencil. Walk around your house for 15 minutes, drawing all the maths you can see. This might be
We have been exploring skip counting by different numbers.
Practise skip counting by any number that you want. You may choose to skip count all the way to 100, or just to 20, it’s all about choosing what is just right for you.
To make it harder, you could start your count from a random number, like 7, or 29.
Record your skip counting on a piece of paper. If you are finding writing numbers tricky, you could draw some objects, like teddies, and then count them and write how many there are.
We can explore adding and subtracting in our home
Walk around your house with a pencil and paper. Count something! Like the chairs, write that number down. Then count something else, perhaps the taps! You can then add these numbers together, subtract them, maybe even multiply them!! Do this with different items in your house and write down all the different number sentences you can!

Other ideas
- Cook something with someone at home
- Play a board game or card game
- Do a Picture Walk by taking pictures of important or beautiful things in your house
- Build a cubby
- If you have Lego at home, build something interesting or different! For example- a treehouse, a pirate ship or our classroom
- Rip up a piece of paper into as many pieces as you can. Count them. How many equal piles can you make? Can you add the piles together? How many in each pile now? Record what you learn by recording on another piece of paper as you .
- Go outside for a walk, ride a bike, scoot on a scooter, skate on a skateboard or roller skates
- Put on a play with your toys
