Good morning everyone I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend.
This week we will be introducing virtual phonics sessions at 11 am for your child to join from home using the same Google Meet link as you used on Friday afternoon. Your child will need their white board and pen.
This will be the first time that I will have taught you and the children in school at the same time! As this is the first session like this it will be quite short and snappy!
Please note that the there will no longer be a live phonics lesson on a Tuesday – this is a change to the information that was sent home. This is due to complicated time tabling issues back at school.
In today’s afternoon catch up session, I will be asking you how your maths went this morning. You will need your number line, whiteboard and pen from your pack. In our virtual sessions if you want to make me big so that I fill the whole of your screen hover over me and click on the pin symbol. When you want to go back to seeing everyone else click on the pin again.
There is also a lovely art activity to fit in to your day – have fun!
Have fun!

Maths
Today we are going to be adding by counting on.
You will need a selection of small objects ie. lego bricks or pasta etc. Maths no problem work book 1A and your white board and pen.
To start can you create a group of 8 of your objects that look like the 8 buns below. Then you are going to add 3 more. How can we do this? What is the next way to count on? Should we start at 1? Which is the biggest number? Can we hold a number in our head? Add your 3 more counting on from 8. The images below should match what you do at home.
Now try these by creating a group of objects and then counting on to add the rest. You can also try using your number line.
12+2= 7+4= 12+2= 2+9= 4+15=
Don’t forget to start with the biggest number.
Now have a go at page 119-120 in your work book 1A. Addition and Subtraction within 20. Remember to start counting from the biggest number and try not to start at 1.
Finally at some point this week have a go at this game to help consolidate your learning.

Start with level 2 and challenge yourself with 4 or 5. Remember to count on from the big number. If you start in relaxed mode you could use your fingers, a number line or objects to count on with.

Art
Many traditional tales have castles or towers in them as the setting. For art today we’d like you to draw a picture of a castle. You could follow the step-by-step instructions below or create your own drawing inspired by an illustration from a book or your own imagination!
** Note: you will need some cardboard tubes (kitchen roll tubes are perfect) and boxes for next week’s art activity! (cereal box- size or smaller is fine)
