Hello! We hope you had a lovely Easter and have managed to enjoy the sunshine. 

Mrs Solomons and Mrs Lloyd have really enjoyed seeing the learning you have all been up to.

Make sure you look at the photos on our web page, so you can see what your friends have been up to at home.

When doing learning at home remember to spend no more than 10-15 minutes on an activity at a time. Try and keep the learning as active as possible and make sure you are having fun!

This term the theme is Water. We will continue to have a reading, writing and maths activity daily and link our topic of water to our daily challenge.

Reading & Phonics

Can you read this sentence?     

The wind left the dust on the mat.  The lad got a red van.

We are going to learn a new sound this week.      It has 2 letters but one sound - the sound is 'sh'.

              shampoo                shoes                    shell                       shed

Can you go for a walk and see what you can find around your house that begins with sh?

Draw 5 things in your home learning book. Can you label them too?

Maths

• Can you practise saying numbers in order? Start with number 1 and see how far you can go!
• This week we are going to be learning all about ‘Capacity’.   This means the amount that something can contain.  For example how much water a bottle can hold / how much pasta will fit inside the bag. 
• As our new topic is Water we are going to be investigating capacity with water - you may like to do this week's maths activities outside or in the bath!
• Can you gather up a variety of containers – make sure they are different sizes (Tall / short / fat / thin / big / small).  You will need these every day this week so keep them handy!
• Investigate pouring water into each container – how much water does it take to fill each one? Is it the same amount or a different amount? More water or less water? Tell your grown up what you have discovered!
