Good morning to all our Beech families!

Thank you so much for sharing with us via email and Class Dojo what you have been learning at home. We thought it would be nice to share a few of them.

Today you have a RWI lesson, reading, handwriting and maths tasks to complete. This afternoon you may like to choose some activities from the Topic page.

RWI Speed Sound lesson

The Set 3 sound you are learning today is u_e (Huge Brute). Please watch the following videos:

• Set 3 Speed Sound
• Set 3 Spelling
• Year 2 children should also watch 'Read Longer Words'.
• Year 1 and Year 2 children may also find it useful to join in with the 'Hold a Sentence' video. 

Remember that you also have your sound cards in your RWI reading packs so please continue to practise these throughout the week.

Reading

Today is your second read of your book this week; Greedy Tiger or Incredible Planet. This is your second read of the book so children should be encouraged to read the text with more fluency, rather than sounding out words. You may like to read the book like we do in school and take in turns to read a page each. One person point to the words whilst the other reads and then swap over. Pointing to the words also helps your child read with more fluency. 

Handwriting

Every Tuesday in school we have time to practise our handwriting. We use 'Get Ready' lines to make it easier to join our letters. Please practise letters, a, c, d, g today. You can use the sheets which are available to download below or you may prefer to use lined paper and use the poster which shows how to form the letters. Remember the importance of starting and finishing the letter in the correct place. We love beautiful presentation of work in Beech class and we are always looking to see who is doing their best handwriting in every lesson we do. We will be looking out for those children who are doing their best handwriting when writing at home and be giving out extra dojos!  

You may find it helpful to print out the poster prompt and have it available for children to look at when doing any writing based task at home. 

Maths

Year 1 

Today your maths lesson is about ordering groups of objects. Watch the video and then complete the worksheet. 

Year 2 

Today you are starting a new unit of work called Multiplication and Division. Your first lesson is about recognising equal groups. Watch the video and then complete the worksheet.
