Welcome to another wonderful week of learning! Here are your tasks for this week.
Tuesday

Phonics: Today we are going to practice our listening skills in the backyard. Being able to hear and tell the difference between everyday sounds helps us to do the same with alphabet sounds. Close your eyes and listen really carefully. What sounds can you hear outside? Which direction is the sound coming from? Do you think something big is making the sound or something small? Tell an adult the different sounds you are hearing. Remember to keep your eyes closed while you do it - no peeking!!!
Values: Respect. When we show respect to those around us, we listen attentively and use our manners. Can you think of a time when you showed respect this week? Take a photo of you making a good choice or write a story about a good choice you made.
Friday
Reading:
Today you are going to relax and listen to somebody read to you. Ask someone in your house to read a story out aloud to you. While they read it, close your eyes and create the pictures in your mind. Have a go at retelling the story. What happened at the beginning, in the middle and in the end? Can you think of a different ending for this story?
Writing:
Go for a walk with the people in your bubble (around your garden or down the street). Put on your detective eyes. What do you notice- hear, smell, see? Come back and write a story about your walk.
If you get stuck you can ask somebody in your home to write the sentences for you and then you can copy underneath. You could use your alphabet caterpillar in your homework book to help you or your word list.
