Summer 2nd Week 5, 29th June - 3rd July

​Our story this week is the  “Oliver's Vegetables” series by Vivian French.

Phonics Everyday please begin with phonics. Ptactise writing your new sounds correctly in your writing book – remember to write the ascenders (long necks) and the descenders (tails) correctly.
Can you write some words that use that sound? How many can you think of?
Spellings if we had been at school we would be having weekly spelling lists and tests. So please ask someone in your family to test you on these words. Practise any that were tricky.
Ideas to practise your spellings:-

• Ask your adult to write the word properly first. Then using the colours of the rainbow, write over the word using seven different colours
• Use a different colour for each letter.
• How many times can you write the word correctly in one minute?
• Write it with crayons, bath crayons (when you are in the bath!), felt-tips, biros etc.
• Write the word in your sand pit or in the mud.
• Look, say, cover, write and check your word! Tick it if you got it right.
• Use post-its and put them up all over your home!
• Record yourself – say the word, spell the word, listen and repeat.
• Jigsaw time – ask your adult to write the word and then cut it up into single or double sounds. Then make the jigsaw!

Try one set at a time. I will add extra sets next week for those who can spell these words. Adults – please feel free to add other words if these are too easy; about five in a set to begin with.
Set 1 – I , am, in, is, it, the,
Set 2 -and, cat, dog, mum, dad, on.
Set 3 – he, she, we, go, to, the,
Set 4  – said, come, be, you, are, my, was, but.
Set 5 – went, made, all, came, made
 
Tick off the following words when you know how to spell them. Add any extra words that you can spell correctly.

 
Monday 
Literacy – Healthy eating – design a café menu that only has healthy foods on! Make up a name for your café.
Maths -Veggie print patterns
 Earlier in our home learning we looked at the different prints different veggies could make. Now we want to look at more complex ideas using circular patterns and border patterns. Use your pattern to decorate your menu.

Tuesday

Maths Looking for amounts
In the series with Oliver there are many images of things to count and group. Look at the images and see how many ways you can see the numbers.
Talking Together How many onions? Can you see them in groups of 2? How many flowers? Can you see them in groups of 2? How many carrots? How many strawberry bushes? Did you need to count them? How else do you see the things growing in the picture?

Activity Talking Together
This memory game is based on you remembering all the items you bought by adding 1 more at a time. It is called “I went to market” but you can change that to whatever shop you want! People tend to remember things if they are funny so experiment! If you want to write things down that is an option if your memory needs some training! If you are in a group it sometimes helps to look at the person and what they have added to the list.
 
Wednesday
Literacy and activity Guess Oliver’s Rule! Oliver has picked out certain fruit and veggies for a reason. Can you guess the rule to why Oliver has picked them?
Write down the rules as you work them out.
Start a new line for each new rule.
Maths Planting veggies!
Oliver has been very busy helping his Grandad to plant vegetables. However……. he has forgotten how many he has planted! Help Oliver tell his Grandad how many more he has dug into the veggie patch! Use the slides and your ten frames to help you
