Sunday
good morning Giraffes
Have a great day of learning
mark making
Do the morning register - look at what day it is and and practise writing your name. Can you write your last name? Can you write your age?
Choose your favourite words - can you blend the sounds and form the letters.
If you want an extra challenge;
- Count the letters in your name and write the number
- Write the names of your family
You can either ask mum or dad to print a copy for you to write on, or you can make your own register to use at home.

The Gingerbread Man
Today we are going to listen to Miss Tone read the story of The Gingerbread Man again. Make sure you are sitting comfortably, close your eyes and listen to the story.
What would you have done if you were the Gingerbread Man? Do you think the people chasing him are kind? Is the Gingerbread Man kind?
Use your imagination to create your own pictures for the story.

Phonics
Below are three videos for your child to access when they are practising the speed sounds. The videos are purposely separated into three in order to support your child at the appropriate level. If you are unsure as to which video to use, please contact me via the learning log or email.
MTYT Set 1 Speed Sounds: Use this video if your child needs to hear the sounds first and then repeat it after me
MTYT Set 1 Special friends: Use this video if your child needs to hear the special friends (digraphs) sounds first and then repeat it after me
Set 1 Speed Sounds: Use this video if your child is confident practising the sounds independently without support
Once you have completed the appropriate speed sound video, please continue with the daily phonics learning video below.

Blending orally without Speed Sound Cards
Fred talk words:
b-i-n bin
b-u-s bus
b-u-n bun
b-u-g bug
Blending with Speed Sound Cards
Say the word clearly so that your child can hear it i.e., mat
Build the word. Say “I need…..” - ask your child to tell you the sound that you need and place the card down so that they can see it. Repeat with all the sounds in the word
Point to the sound and say the sounds (m-a-t) then sweep your finger under the word and say the word (mat)
Read the words (you can write them on paper or a whiteboard or use the teaching video as a reference)
Ask the children to say the sounds in Fred talk
Say the word out loud running your finger under the word
Math
Addition
Learning Objective:
To be able to count two groups of objects together to find the total number
To have an understanding that two numbers added together will make a new number
You will need:
A selection of ten small toys or objects
Paper plate or a piece of paper cut into a circle
Writing materials
Learning activity:
Use a paper plate and draw three lines, dividing it into three sections like the plate in the picture above
Use small objects such as buttons, pebbles or pasta and ask your child to count out 4 items and place them in one of the top blocks
Repeat, counting out 5 items into the next block at the top of the plate
Ask your child to count the items in both blocks together to find out the total number when the two groups are combined
Write down the number and then count out the correct number of objects to match the total number
Extension:
You can use a dice to find the number and count the dots on the dice as an extension activity
other ACTIVITIES...
Some everyday activities you can do with your child to help develop fine motor and pre-writing skills...
Threading beads / pasta on pipe cleaner/ straws / spaghetti (or similar) can help to strengthen the small muscles in children's hands as they grasp different sized beads i.e. They will use various hand movements, depending on the size of the bead.
great learning today giraffes!
Have a super duper day :-)
