Oak Class Home Learning W/C - 11/01/21 Phonics:
• This week’s sound is the letter ‘r’.
• Oxford Owl Floppy’s Phonics Resource: Click on the speaker buttons and try and copy and sign the words. Practise trying to spell the words or sound out the words. Try and identify where the ‘o’ sound is in the word, e.g. at the start in odd and in the middle in got. Can you make a sentence using the o words?

• Explore a tray of ‘r’ items or look around your house for these items. E.g. red, rabbit, rocket
• Print these symbols. Practise looking at the words and signing them. Can your child sort the symbols into this weeks sound and last week’s sound ‘u’ using the symbols from last week?
• Cut the words separate to the pictures. Can you read the word and match it to the picture? Some of us can write the word for the picture without being given the word. Some of us can write a sentence using the ‘r’ sound. A good example is ‘The rabbit flew in the red rocket.’
• Practise writing the letter ‘r’ and making circles and curved marks. We like putting things like couscous, flour and shaving foam on a tray and using our fingers or a brush to make the letter ‘r’ or make marks. Use these worksheets to help practise.
• This term we are looking at poetry. Last week we read poems and talked about their features and if we like them or not.
• This week is all about rhyming words and space poems that rhyme. • You could listen to some space songs that rhyme.

• Can you read this poem and identify the rhyming words? You could colour the rhyming words or use the sheet to practise overwriting or writing them.
• Can you look at this powerpoint and explore onomatopoeic words- this is just a fancy name for words that sound like the action or thing it is describing.
o https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-54045-sparks-in-the-sky-onomatopoeia-powerpoint
• Can you read the description and write an onomatopoeic word? The word mat could help with this.

• We love reading a new book as a class on a Friday. Take some time to read a book with your child or can they read some of it with you? Talk about the pictures and the characters and what happens in the story. Some of us have been learning how to find the author of our books. Can you find who wrote the story? If you don’t have many books, there are lots available here https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episodes/b00jdlm2/cbeebies-bedtime-stories being read to you or here if you would like to download some free books to read together https://monkeypen.com/pages/free-childrens-books

• This week we are looking at ordinal numbers- this is a fancy word for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. • Can you line up different items you can find in your house and practise saying which item
is in which position. E.g. You could ask which toy is 1st and try and point to the right toy. You can practise pointing to each item and saying what position they are in. Try this up to 1st, 2nd and last. When you have got this, you could try up to 5th. If this is too easy, you could go up to even higher.
• Here are some links to practise identifying an items position. You will need different colours for these.

• We have been having a weekly class shop. Could you set up your own shop with things you find in the house? You can practise recognising coins, role play being a customer and shopkeeper, and giving change. Most of us have been working on recognising a certain
coin from a choice of two coins. For example, showing your child 2 coins and asking which one is the £1 coin. Some of us have been looking at making £1 with a variety of coins. For example, counting 2 x 50p coins or 10 x 10p coins. Most of us have got really good at counting 1p coins to pay for a certain item, for example, a toy costs 7p, and then counting 7 x 1ps to buy it. It would be great to practise this.
• Here are some great counting or addition games, we love to play in class. o https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/underwater-counting o https://www.topmarks.co.uk/addition/robot-addition
o https://www.topmarks.co.uk/addition/addition-to-10

PSHE:

• Discuss the video and ways in which we can be unkind online. Encourage children to think about how it could make people feel. How might they feel if people are unkind.
• What did Jack do? How do you think Robbie was feeling? Is being kind online the same as being kind offline?
• Discuss how people communicate, share and interact online e.g. texting, video calls, playing games, etc.
Computing:
• We are going to start looking at using directional language. Listen to the Hip Hop Granny song and try and move in the right direction.

• Set up an obstacle course in your house or garden. Can your child follow the directions to follow the course? Can they use the language to direct you around a course? You can use symbols and arrows to help this.
• Can you practise going forwards, backwards, turning left, and right? Music:

(rainydaymum.co.uk) Social Skills:
• We are learning and practising taking turns. Find something your child likes to do. This could be playing a board game, doing a puzzle, playing on the iPad or playing with a toy.
