C2 Monday 01st March

Maths

Please remember – we do not use the White Rose workbooks; if the video asks you to pause to complete the questions on the worksheet please just continue the video unless I have made a note on the planning. White Rose (or other appropriate resources) will be provided to complete. This week there are also activities to be completed during the teaching videos and I have noted on the planning the resources needed.

May I politely request that all equipment sent home during lockdown is returned on Monday March 8^th?

Thank you.

English

Y1 spellings: er sound ending

Please write your spellings in sentences, making sure you use a capital letter at the beginning and a full-stop, question mark or exclamation mark at the end.

Spellings: under / summer / winter / sister / verb.

Challenge: can you spot and write any other er words?

Y2 spellings: doubling consonants when adding –ing to root verbs ending in a short vowel sound and a consonant

Please remind children what a vowel and a consonant is and ask them to say the short vowel sounds a e i o u

Explain that, when we add –ing to root verbs ending in a vowel then a consonant , we must double the final consonant eg drop becomes dropping; if we don’t do this the word will have a long vowel sound ie droping to rhyme with moping which doesn’t make sense!

Please ask the children to add –ing to these verbs in their home learning books:

rap / step / snip / stop /mug/ lap /jet / flip / crop /cut

Challenge:

Can you find any other root verbs which follow this rule?

Art

As it’s St David’s day today we would love the children to draw daffodils for our spring-themed window display! We will be looking at and drawing real daffodils in class but if you haven’t got any at home, please use the image provided on the sheet dated 1.3.21. You could use paints, crayons or coloured pencils.
