You should have received an email inviting you to join your child’s account on Seesaw – please check your junk mail if you have not received this. Through Seesaw, you will be able to upload work which has been completed at home and we will be able to give feedback. You will only see your child’s work and all feedback given will be private to your account. We are looking forward to seeing the super learning which has been completed at home.
We will explain the structure on here each day but please refer to the additional uploaded documents for each specific lesson guidance and resources.
Reading
It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.
If it is a book, look at the front cover—or the last chapter—and talk about what might happen next. Look for clues in the book and be a reading detective! For example, ‘can you see the bear on the front cover? Where do you think he will go?’
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’

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.

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."
|
Once your pupils recognise and understand the suffix 'ed', a whole new dimension will be available to them in reading and writing.
They'll recognise the past tense in their reading, and be able to write about things in the past.
Please use the attached worksheet to help your child use the ‘ed’ suffix fluently.
RE
The Bible is God’s special book. It is all about how much God loves and cares for people. The Bible is the most important book that Christians use, because it is God’s Word, so it is always treated with reverence. Like all special books we take care of it, make sure our hands are clean before we use it and keep it in a safe place.
There are two main sections in the Bible. The Old Testament tells us about the time before Jesus. The New Testament tells us about Jesus and the beginning of the Church. Some of the books are called by the name of the person thought to have written them: Mark, Jeremiah, Peter. Some are named after the person the story is about: Job, Ruth, Jonah. One is called after an event: Exodus.
Others tell you about the content of the book: Genesis (Beginnings), Psalms, Proverbs, Letters. The Bible is like a library of different books just like we saw a variety of different books that we have at home and in school.
Q What is the Bible and why is it such an important book?
Q Why do you think we should show reverence for the Bible?
Q What does the first part of the Bible tell us?
Q What is the second part of the Bible about?
Activities to choose:
- Design a front cover for the Bible that shows it is a special book. On the back cover write a summary of what you would find inside.
- Create a bookmark for a Bible including the title of your favourite story from the Bible.
