Primary 1 Learning Tasks 5th May.

Good Morning Boys and Girls.

I am looking forward to seeing you all today in our Google Meets, either at 11.30am or 12.00pm. See you then!

Literacy: Phonics	Log into your Sumdog account (www.sumdog.com)   Click on Spelling . You should find a task called Phonics work. It will ask you to have a go at spelling 20 words. Please try to complete this as independently as you can as it will allow me to see what areas might need some extra practice. (Parents please only assist in helping to find the letters if they are stuck and encourage the children to sound out the words independently if possible)
Literacy: Reading	Parents: In the children’s homework folder you should find their word tin (small plastic box with red lid). There should be 15 words in each tub. These words will be the common words your child was still struggling to immediately recognise at the time of last assessment. I have attached a list of all the common words that your child should be able to recognise up until this point in Primary 1. Many of these words have not been introduced due to either the fact that they have not been in school or they have not been able to recognise the previous ones and I did not want to overwhelm them. The list should be read across the rows. Practice reading / recognising your common words with your adult at home. If you can confidently identify the words your adult can give you some new words to practice. You could make your own version of word cards for these new words.
Numeracy	Today we are going to practice our addition. Here are a selection of games to try. (You do not need to play them all!) https://www.mathplayground.com/ASB_JetSkiAddition.html https://www.mathplayground.com/amusement_park_addition.html https://www.mathplayground.com/math_racer_addition.html https://www.topmarks.co.uk/addition/robot-addition
Health & Wellbeing	Yesterday Lona and Dino spoke to you about the importance of brushing your teeth. Can you explain to your adult at home why it is important that we brush our teeth twice a day?
