Week –6^th – 8^th May 2020  (1^st Class)

Tuesday 5^th – School Holiday

	Literacy	Numeracy
Weekly Task	Spellings: List – oy Wednesday: joy, enjoy Tricky Word: of Thursday: toy, destroy Tricky Word: goes Friday: boy, royal Tricky Word: does Read, write and say two 'oy' words and one tricky word a day	The focus this week is on ADDITION using tens and units. Sometimes the children will have to do straight forward addition and sometimes they will be doing addition with RENAMING, which was covered last week.  The first two videos are still here for you to have a look at if you want. Watch the new video and try out some addition. There is also a problem to solve every day. Just get some paper and a pencil to work them out. Have fun!!
Wednesday	Watch Ms. Molloy's story time video, 'The Things I Love About School' –                    Like the main character in this book, you have lots of lovely friends in school. Write a letter to one of your friends from school. Keep the letter in a safe place and you can give it to your friend when we return to school! Ask your friend 3 questions about what they've been doing while keeping safe at home. Remember to use a quesion mark (?) and the 5 W question words: who, what, when, where, why.   You can draw little pictures and decorate your letter if you like!	-                      Problem of the day: Look around your house for something that is the shape of a cuboid, a sphere and a cylinder. Copy this table onto a page and fill in your answers. Item I found Does it roll? Does it stack? Number of faces cuboid Yes/No Yes/No sphere Yes/No Yes/No cylinder Yes/No Yes/No -                      Tens and Units work: Watch the new tens and units video and have a go. This video shows us how to do adding up sums. Sometimes we don’t have to do RENAMING and it’s a simple adding sum but sometimes we do have to do RENAMING. See if you can figure out when it’s a simple adding sum and when it’s a sum that needs RENAMING so that we can get the answer right.
Thursday	Look at Picture 1 above Trying new things is fun! Sometimes when we try new things we are surprised by how much we enjoy them. Can you think of a time when you tried something new and really enjoyed it? Talk to someone in your house about this time. Ask them to tell you about a time that they tried something new! Make a list of some new things you would like to try.  DEAR time – 10minutes	-                      Problem of the day: There were 6 birds sitting on a branch. 5 more came along but then 3 flew away. How many birds were on the branch then?  -                      Tens and Units work: Try some more adding using tens and units. Copy these sums onto a page and try to figure out the answers. Write the sums the same way as this and follow the steps you saw on the video! Some sums won’t need RENAMING but other sums will!          -Look at worksheet 1
Friday	Look at picture 2 above Like the main character in this book, you have a colourful and interesting classroom! - Draw and label a picture of your classroom. Use as many labels as you can. - Read the lables aloud to someone at home. Chat with them about the things that you love in your classroom eg: Golden Time toys, library, art equipment, maths equipment and games etc. - Put these classroom words into alphabetical order: table, book, pencil, crayon, whiteboard, jigsaw, lego, scissors, glue. DEAR Time – 10 minutes	-                      Problem of the day:   Look at a calendar. How many Mondays will there be in June? How many Saturdays will there be in June? Tens and Units work: Same as yesterday. Try your best. -Look at worksheet 2

*DEAR Time means Drop Everything and Read
