We will explain the structure on here each day but please refer to the additional uploaded documents for each specific lesson guidance and resources.
Reminders
Please collect an exercise book from the school office to complete your work in, you will be able to bring these into school when we are all back together.
You can also collect reading books from the school office whenever you need to. Please let the office know beforehand so we can get them ready for you.
Sumdog – Well done to the 9 children who have had a go at the new Sumdog challenges this week. We would love to see everyone have a go at the challenges set this week. Sumdog can be a great way to consolidate learning and practise your spellings.
Reading
It is essential that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.
All reading matters. Shared reading is about ‘reading with’, not just ‘reading to’ (even for older children). So, ask lots of ‘Wh’ questions, such as Who? What? When? Where? Why? Try them when talking about books: for example, ‘what do you think Harry is feeling?’
Oxford Owl – This resource has an exciting range of carefully levelled books to help children learn to read, and love to read.
If parents and children decide to use this resource, we ask they access phase 5 books. Go to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ and select ‘my class login’. Scroll down to the red box ‘eBook Library for Letters & Sounds’

Maths
This week we are going to continue to focus on our topic – Money.
Today we are going to look at finding the total.
We have uploaded an additional document named 'CHALLENGE'. This is only intended as extension work to challenge and push your learning. You are not required to complete this sheet. The WhiteRose sheet is more than enough.
Make sure you watch the video carefully and pause to answer questions on the worksheet.
Please follow the link and complete the worksheet attached to the class blog.
1. Watch the video (either on your own or with your child).
2. Find a calm space where your child can work for about 20-30 minutes.
3. Use the video guidance to support your child as they work through a lesson.
Complete on the sheet (if you have a printer) or write your answers in your home learning book.
Sumdog
Sumdog can be played from home, as well as in the classroom. To log in from home, students use the same details as they do in class.
Log in at www.sumdog.com
Additionally, students can access Sumdog via the app, which are free to download and play. In both cases, they'll need an internet connection.

Phonics and Spelling
Does your child know how to change the tense of a verb? Can they say both "I am playing on the field today" and "I played on the field yesterday"? This means they can understand how to change the present tense into the past tense.
There are certain rules we need to follow when changing verbs into the past tense.
What are the rules for changing verbs to the past tense?
For a regular verb, add "ed" to turn it into a past tense verb.
If a regular verb already ends in "e", make sure it ends in "ed".
If a verb ends in a "y", such as "hurry", you change it to an "i" and then add "ed". This becomes "hurried".
If a regular verb ends with one vowel and one consonant, double the consonant before adding "ed". For example, "wrap" would become "wrapped".
If a verb ends with a "c", you then need to add a "k" before "ed."
Please see attached activity sheets, which give children the opportunity to practise adding the -ed suffix to make past tense words.
Help them identify which word matches with the right picture, and complete the sentences.
Differentiated two ways, children can be challenged to work at the ability level appropriate for them.
