Lets have  a reminder of all of the letters and sounds we have looked at:

Set 1: s, a, t, p

Set 2: i, n, m, d

Set 3: g, o, c, k

Set 4: ck, e, u, r

Set 5: h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss

This video reminds us of the sounds and helps us practise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIpcahxNSU4

ai- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbmpw192MSg&t=1s

ee- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ci0oEO8dXE&t=1s

Can you please help your children to learn the following tricky words (which can't yet be decoded)

said, have, like, so, do, some, come, were

Can they use their phonic knowledge to sound out the words shown http://www.letters-and-sounds.com/resources/p4poly.pdf

(no need to print out, you could just copy the words or read from a screen).

There is a game to play here https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/4/sentence-substitution-ph4

Which uses all the sounds they have learned so far.

As before, this is the video of the song we have used in class to say the names of the letters as well as the sounds they make – our alphabet song…

Maths

There are more great activities on https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/  (summer term week 10 and the ‘Oliver’s vegetables’ section).  As before there are 5 days worth of activities here based around a book, but you don’t have to have the books to do them.  They are all very practical activities that you can do, there is no need to print anything off, just download the ‘get the activity’ for each day.

PE

Joe Wicks is still doing PE sessions, but only  3 times a week now at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAxW1XT0iEJo0TYlRfn6rYQ he is live at 9am but you can watch any time after as well.  RCT have produced some guidance and activities too, which is available here http://d6vsczyu1rky0.cloudfront.net/33281_b/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Wellbeing-Pack-Four-Diet-and-Exercise.pdf

Topic

Our topic for the last half-term is called ‘Splendid Skies’ and is all about the weather. 

Can you create a dance involving the wind? You could move like a leaf on a tree, live a wave, a windmill or a flag blowing in the breeze.  You could link it to a breeze, a whirlwind or even a tornado.  Could you take some photos or even make a video?

If you would like to get creative, can you design something that would fly in the air, like a kite or an aeroplane.  You could make a ‘junk model’ using recycling.

Reading

Keep reading as much as you can!  If you need any logins (oxford reading buddy / hwb / study ladder) please let me know.

Study ladder

I have added more activities onto study ladder: www.studyladder.com

I have been working on creating a new website for our school, and this is now live at www.llanharanprimary.com if you would like to have a look.  It is still a work in progress!

School re-opening

I am really looking forward to seeing Reception this week.  I plan to give everyone some personalised learning on maths and phonics to bring home as well.

Hope you are all well and continue to stay safe.
