Phonics
Reception – please sing the alphabet song and then can you see if you can sound and blend these sentences?
Year one and two – we are learning the alternative spellings for the ‘igh’ phoneme.
Can you practise reading these sentences aloud and then go onto Phonics Play and have a go at the speed trial game. Click onto phases 3 and 5a and see how many you get correct.

English
Whole class – please complete the following worksheet on the new fiction book we will be looking at for the next two weeks. The instructions are on the worksheet but if you are in Reception, please can you tell your answers to your grown up and get them to write them down for you. Maybe you could try to write some words yourself?
Maths
Reception – Can you have a go at counting the buttons on the gingerbread man? There are two activities – one up to 5 and one up to 10. Start with the game up to 5 and if you think you can do hard things, try the game up to 10. Afterwards maybe you could draw your own gingerbread man and put some buttons on him and write how many he has. Remember to write your numbers carefully and correctly. If you are feeling really brave, draw two gingerbread men with different buttons and then try to add them all together by counting them all. Can you do that?

years one and two – today we are counting on, or adding. Please watch the video and then complete the maths work set on Purple Mash.
Reading
Reception – log onto Oxford Owl and read Big, Bad, Bug. Please try to encourage your child to read the book rather than listen along to it which is an option. After reading the book, have a go at the activities linked on the page.
Year One – log onto Oxford Owl and read Zoom Food and then complete the activities that go with the book. Please read the book yourself and don’t listen to the audio version.
Year Two – log onto Oxford Owl and read Animal Invaders and then complete the activities that go with the book. Please read the book yourself and don’t listen to the audio version.
Science
Year 1 and 2 – Our topic for this term is Animals including Humans. Today we are going to look at what animals need. Think back to last year – can you remember what three basic needs we said that humans needed? What basic needs do you think animals have? Are they the same for all animals? Watch the powerpoint and then have a go at choosing an animal and writing a list of its basic needs around a picture of it.
Reception – can you think of your favourite wild animal and draw, paint, colour it for me to see. Can you add some descriptions of it too – yellow, spotty etc for me to read.
