Good morning Beech families,

Well done for super start to the half term. You worked so hard yesterday! We look forward to seeing you all again soon!

Today you have the following lessons/activities:

• Name Mrs Tildsley’s creature!
• Speed Sounds
• Reading
• Handwriting
• Maths
• PSHE
• Music

Speed Sounds

Your Set 2 sound today is 'ar' and the Set 3 sound is 'ew'. You may know these sounds now, but it's good to keep practising them so we get super speedy at reading the words and you also become a super speller!

Please watch and join in with the following videos:

• Speed Sounds
• Spellings
• Reading Longer Words (Children learning Set 3 sounds only)
• Hold a Sentence

Remember the priority is Speed Sounds and Spellings.

Reading 

It is your second read of your book today. Year 1 children are reading 'A House Fit for a Mouse' and Year 2 are reading 'Tricking a Dragon'. Yesterday you may have sounded out lots of the words to read them, today your challenge is to read with more fluency. You may like to get a grown up to read the book to you before you read it again so you know how the reading should sound. Practise the Speed Sounds, Green words and Red words before reading the story a second time. 

Handwriting

Before half term we were practising the handwriting families. We have completed all four sets now! Today I would like you to choose 5 letters that you find tricky to form and practise those. You can use the sheets from the handwriting booklet or lined paper, whichever you prefer. 

Maths

Year 1

Year 2 

Yesterday you had a fun lesson drawing pictograms. Today you are going to learn how to interpret pictograms. This means you will understand and be able to explain them. Join in with the video and then complete the worksheets. 

Music 

Today we are on lesson 4 of our unit of work called Zootime! Hope you have lots of fun singing the very catchy song!
