Teams should be working now and all lessons and worksheets will be together as an assignment. If you have any difficulties I have put today's lessons Monday 18th January below.

Any queries please email : silverregents@connectedlearningmat.co.uk 

Please note that I will be in school on Fridays so will not be able to answer emails. 

Reading

Please try to hear your child read once a day for 10 minutes or more. If you need more books you can sign up for free for Oxford Owl reading library (link) to access their extensive library.

It is great to ask questions about what you are reading. 

Who is the main character?

Where is the story set?

What was your favourite part of the book? 

Can you think of a different title for the book?

Is the book a fiction or non fiction book?

How is the information displayed?

Does the story remind you of any other stories you know?

Reading activity

Find your favourite book or poem and share this with someone in your household.

Create a book review for someone in our class about your chosen book/poem

You need to tell them:

Why it is your favourite book?

What is it about?

Who is your favourite character and why?

Why do you think they should read it?

Draw a picture of your favourite character or part of the story/poem

Maths: Number and Place Value

I would like you to create your own number booklet for numbers 1-20

Challenge: Up to 50

Fold up to 10 pages in half to create a small booklet (you may need more if going up to 50).

On each page write down the number as  a digit- make sure that they are the correct way round, write the number as a word, create an + and - number sentence. You might like to draw the number block to match the digit, or write if it is an odd or even number. 

Be as creative as you can.

English

We have recently moved into a new year. We are now in 2021. At the start of each new year lots of people make New Years Resolutions. These are promises that people will try and follow throughout the coming year. They might be things like:

• I will try to work harder at school.
• I will eat more vegetables and less sweets.
• I will do some more exercise.
• I will try to keep my bedroom tidy.
• I will stop biting my fingernails.
• I will be kinder to my brother/sister.

I would like you to think of a New Year’s resolution you can make. You could cut out a star shape and write your resolution and promise on this. Think of 2 New Year promises you could make. Something that you will try and do at home and something you will try and do at school.

Phonics 

Copy down each of the alien words and use sound buttons and lines to show the single and double letter sounds. Look out for the split digraphs.

Choose two words you have written down and put them into a silly sentence.

A green and long snake went on a big and shiny red bus. 

To make your sentence even better use the conjunction because.

Art

In class we follow the 4R’s of learning:

Resourcefulness

Resilience

Reflectiveness

Reciprocity

Reciprocity means: two people or groups of people give each other help and advantages

In class this means not only being independent but also helping each other by guiding each other to improve our learning. At the beginning of the school year we chose an Octopus to represent this learning behaviour for our class.

I would like you to show how an Octopus independently might help the other animals within the ocean. We know that they clean the coral for other fish and make it a cleaner environment.

Create a picture showing an octopus helping some other sea creatures within the ocean. Make it as colourful as you can.
