Hi F2,
We hope you are all keeping safe at home! Tapestry was having some technical difficulties yesterday so hopefully it will back up and running soon. If you keep trying to log in at different points throughout the day and hopefully you can upload your work soon.
Literacy – Little Red Riding Hood
Imagine you are Little Red Riding Hood. What gifts would you bring to grandma? Why? Draw a picture and write a list of items you would bring Grandma and write a sentence to explain what you have chosen.
Make a get well soon card for Grandma. Practise writing your name.

Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss)
Phase 3 (j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er).
Ask an adult to write capital letters and lowercase letters on paper and cut them up. Can you match the letters together and say the name of the letter and the sound. For example: Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd etc. Can you try to write these letters too in your exercise book?
Maths – Length
Draw around your feet on two pieces of paper and then cut the footprints out. Can you use the footprints to measure the objects or rooms in your home? Which room is the longest? Which room is the shortest? Which toy is the longest?
Please encourage your child to use mathematical vocabulary. For example: The teddy is shorter than the cushion.
Music: The Rainforest

Join in with the lesson. Can you listen for the sounds you might hear in the rainforest?

Literacy – Little Red Riding Hood
Remind yourself of the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’. Here is a link of the story on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q32d4k9jeTE
Look at the story map you created yesterday. Can you retell the story in as much detail as you can remember? Maybe a grown up or sibling can join in. You could even use your favourite toys/teddy bears.
Can you think of actions to go with each picture of your story map?
Remember to think about the structure of the story – beginning, middle and end. As well as the characters and the plot.
Phonics – Consolidation
In Phonics, we are practising our Phase 2 and 3 sounds:
Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss)

Go round your house and find objects that begin with the sound ‘t’ can you draw them?
Challenge – Can you write the word to match your picture? E.g. teddy
Maths – More and Less
In Mathematics, we are continuing to learn about ‘More and Less’.
Can you find some objects in your home e.g. sweets, fruit, teddy etc.
Choose a number between 1-20.
Use the objects to work out what one more/one less is. Can you write the number?
Repeat this a few times with different numbers.
Understanding the World – ‘Can all animals be pets?’
In Understanding the World, we are continuing to think about ‘Can all animals be pets?’
Listen to the story ‘Dear Zoo’ again. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqGYWRHOV6E
Make your own animal mask of one of the animals from the story using objects from around your home e.g. a paper plate, paper, cereal box.
Can you make your own flipbook story similar to the ‘Dear Zoo’ story with pictures using different animals? For example: I wrote to the Zoo to send me a pet. They sent me a crocodile. He was too snappy. I sent him back.
Can you retell the story back to a grown up?
Have fun and remember to post pictures of your work on School Spider or Tapestry!

Your teachers will be in touch on a regular basis to ensure that you know what to do and are confident accessing learning at home during this lockdown period.
Each day we will be posting a blog on our year group page to outline the learning for the day. Each blog will include a video from one of the teachers, which will also be available to view on our school youtube channel.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNg0U6SFcZqMcl9PAkzusw
Your learning for the week will be outlined on our weekly home learning timetable. To access this you need to login to the pupil area of our school website and click on download homework. If anyone is unsure how to do this, Mr Chamberlain has created a very informative youtube tutorial to show you how to do this (also to be found on our school youtube channel)
The school has prepared a home learning pack for each child which includes exercise books, workbooks etc. to help you with you home learning and for you to complete your daily learning tasks in. When you have completed your work please upload it on the pupil login area, or upload a photo if you have done it in your book. Your teachers will then be able to see your work and give you feedback on what you have done.
Today we will be learning...
Maths- we are focusing on counting in multiples of 4 and practising our 4 times tables. Use your Rockstars Timestables login to practise your 4 times tables and see if you can beat your score and time- can you battle any of your classmates and try to get a new high score? Complete the questions set on your home learning timetable.
English- we are focusing on writing in the past tense. Write a recount of the things you did with your family during the Christmas break- when you have finished your writing go through and highlight/colour all the past tense verbs you have used.

Choose a number and find out what is one more and one less than that number? Write it down your answers.
- This week in Understanding the World, we are thinking about ‘Can all animals be pets?’ Today, listen to the story ‘Dear Zoo’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqGYWRHOV6E.

- Can be pets
- Can’t be pets
For example: A dog could be a pet because it is small. An elephant cannot be a pet because it is too big. Challenge – Can you write the name of the animal next to your picture and why it may or may not be a pet?
