Good morning superstars.

Well done for completing your first week of Summer term 2.

Shout these words out loud. 

What is the date today? Remember to use full sentences.

Let’s start our day with a prayer.

Father in heaven You love me.

You are with me night and day.

I want to love You always,

In all I do and say.

I'll try to please You Father.

Bless me through the day.

Amen

Join me for story time to hear our new read aloud called I am Human A Book of Empathy.

• Daily handwriting and phonics/reading
• Grammar: Spelling test on days of the week
• English: Custard the Dragon by Ogden Nash
• Maths: Direction, movement and position
• Art: Still Life drawing

Daily handwriting and phonics/reading: Please aim for 30 minutes (15 each) of handwriting and phonics and continue reading each day. 

Grammar: Spelling test

English: Read a long narrative poem; describe characters using co-ordinating conjunctions; write a fictional narrative.

Maths: Today we will learn more about position. These words tell us where something or someone is, in relation to other things.

Can you say these positional words: left, right, above, below, top, middle, bottom, in between, on, in, under, beneath, outside, inside

Extra challenges to review new concepts this week:

• Review the turns game to see if you can decide if a turn is going clockwise (right) or anti-clockwise (left). Is it a quarter, half, three-quarter or whole turn? 
• Make and describe turns with shapes, objects and yourself.
• Move shapes, objects and yourself around to show different positions and say aloud or write sentences to describe the position.
  Examples - I put my toy car under the table. I put my toys in the box.  

Art: Still life is a painting or drawing of an inanimate object. The object is still.

We will be learning how to draw and shade an apple. All you need is an apple, a pencil and paper. Remember to concentrate and try your best. If you don't have an apple you can try a different piece of fruit. 

Weekend Homework

1. New spelling words (numbers)

2. Show and tell - Record yourself showing something you love at home. This could be your favourite toy or something that you made. When you are speaking remember to:

• Use your loud speaker voice.
• Use your conjunction because to tell us why it's your favourite or why you wanted to share it.
• Use lots of great detail.

Send in your videos to be added to our Show and Tell page!
