Friday January 8th

This week has been really busy at school and I am excited about all the live teaching that will be happening soon, it will feel like we are all back together again! The first Google Meet is this afternoon at 1.45pm. A letter with more information and the link to the meeting should be on the way to your grown up at some point this morning. During this first session I will be helping you learn how to use Google Meet ready for when you start having live lessons next week. Below is a lovely poster that will help you know what is expected from you when we are learning using Google Meet. With a grown up, have a look at it and talk about all the rules. I will teach you all about the mute button when we meet this afternoon. Please make sure that you are ready and have joined the meeting 5 minutes before it starts so we are already. It would also be a good idea to make sure you have been to the toilet before it starts as I don’t want you to miss anything. All you need for this afternoon is yourself, so don’t worry about having any pens or books near you. I am so excited!!!

Phonics

Today is lesson 4  on You Tube. We are learning that ‘oe’ and ‘ou’ can make the oa sound as in toe and shoulder. Please watch and join in.

Now play a dice game rolling the dice and reading an oe word each time.

Maths

Last term we learnt how to use part part whole to help with our maths. Please watch the video below to remind yourself – it will really help your grown up understand too! At the very end of the video the teacher asks you to do two tasks – don’t worry about doing those.

This week you have been working on teen numbers. In your red book please draw a part part whole diagram for all of those numbers. We would like you to partition (split) the number into a ten and ones. So the first part will always have 10 in it. You can use the whole page – do draw them on the blank part of the page and over the top of the lined part. I have started doing mine – here is a photo just in case you are not sure what to do.

You need to try and fit all of them on one page please and remember to write your numbers the right way! In teen numbers the 1 always comes first! Use the number line in your pack to help you get them right. Please use a pencil to write with not pen. We would like you to work as neatly as you would in school please.

I have started doing mine – here is a photo just in case you are not sure what to do.

Grown ups – some children may need you to draw the part part whole circles for them.
