Ms Leonard & Mrs O’Regan Monday Reading: Stop that Dog p.22+23 New word: stop. Word work: words that end in ‘er’; we only hear the ‘r’ sound so need to remember

when writing/spelling these words to add the ‘e’ too. Examples: sister, teacher, later, mother. Can you list some more?Writing unscramble the sentence (below - if you are unable to print the worksheets, please write into a copy)Word Family: “in” Write 5 words using the alphabet strip. Try to think of words that you haven’t used beforeMaths: Planet Maths p.126 Extra ideas: Name 2 light/heavy animals, types of fruit, vegetables. Name an animal which is lighter/heavier than a dog. Name 2 heavy and 2 light objects in your kitchen. Name something heavier/lighter/about the same as this book. Which is heavier – a golf ball or a tennis ball? Are heavy things always big? Can you name a small item that is heavy? Can you name a big object that is light? How can we discover the correct weight of an item?

Tuesday Reading: Stop that Dog p.24+25. New word: stop. Grammar work: Rule: when 2 vowels go walking, the first one does the talking and he says his name. “ump” says /A/ paint, rail, rain, train, wait – can you read those words correctly?Writing: unscramble the sentenceWord Family: Write 5 words using the alphabet stripMaths: Planet Maths p.127. Extra ideas: Place a variety of items of differing weight and mass on a table and ask you son to choose 2 items to form a comparison through handling. The range of items should include small/large/heavy items such as stones and hard back books; and small/large/light objects such as an empty box, a large sponge or plastic drink bottle. Encourage your son to estimate which items are heavy/light and to use the appropriate vocabulary.

Wednesday Reading: Stop that Dog p26+27. New words: garden, ring. Word work: “happy” has a ‘y’ at the end that sounds like an ‘e’. We say there are 5 vowels, remember the vowel hand? But we draw “y” on the palm because y has magic powers that can take the name of some of the vowels. Where ‘y’ sounds like ‘e’: sunny, party, candy, sorry. Where ‘y’ sounds like ‘i’: my, cry, fly, shy, tryWriting: unscramble the sentenceWord Family: “end” Write 5 words using the alphabet stripMaths: Planet Maths p.128 (last page) Extra ideas: use objects to practice adding 3 items together.
