Week 5- Learning Tasks

Maths

There are four activities that have been set on seesaw - one for each day this week.

An email will be sent on Tuesday with instructions on how to set up seesaw at home. If you already have access to seesaw, we ask that you log out and then log back in with the new login details that will be sent out.

You might also like to write numbers 1 - 20 on a piece of paper and cut them out and have a play with putting them in order from smallest to largest and/or largest to smallest. Mix them up, choose one and say what number comes before and after that number.

Reading

• 5-10 minutes of reading daily - you choose the book you want to read.

• Record the title of what you have read in your reading journal.

Writing

Option 1

Write a few sentences about your favourite lockdown activity so far. Try to include as much information and details as you can. Did this experience remind you of something you have done before or would you like to do this again. Remember - capital letter, full stop, finger spaces, and try to hear and write all the sounds in the word.

Option 2

Go outside and look at the clouds. Think about some interesting words that could describe them. Write a few sentences that describes what you saw, if it reminds you of something and/or how it made you feel.

Option 3

If you could have any pet, what would you choose? Write a few sentences to explain why you think this animal would make a good pet and how you would look after it.

Pick a toy. If it could talk, what would it say? Write a few sentences about some of the funny things it might say.
