You could...
- Read the words and talk about how they are spelt. You could verbally put them into a sentence
- Write the words by copying. Adults please say each word and then put them into a sentence. For example… It is over there. It’s their ball. They’re coming to tea.
- Write the words from memory… (put them into a sentence to give each word context. For example, I have two socks. I have too many bags.)
- Write this words into sentences using adjectives and conjunctions. For example- I can hear the sea (and smell the salty water.)

Play fizz buzz (stand in a circle and everyone says one number each- 1, 2, 3, 4 but when you get to a multiple of 5 for say FIZZBUZZ instead). This can be played for 2s and 10s as well and takes lots of practice
Solve simple problems such as these...

Alice the camel has 2 humps. How many humps will 6 camels have?

ENGLISH
Our topic for Summer term is Best of British. This week we would like you to research a famous British person of interest to you. If you aren’t sure perhaps you could read about…
- Alexander Bell
- John Logie Baird
- Tim Henman
- David Beckham
- Kelly Homles
Then you could...
- Write a fact file about your chosen famous person. When were they born? Where were they born? Why are they famous? Can you find out any fun facts about this person?
- Create a Top Trumps card about your chosen person
- Write a fiction story about your famous person. Perhaps they go on an adventure? Maybe they become famous for another reason? Draw a story map of ideas to sequence the events in your story. Remember to have a beginning, middle and end. In year 1 we often use three boxes to draw a beginning, middle and end. In year 2 we often draw pictures with arrows to sequence the events in our story.
- Look around the house and find things which are made in Britain. Can you make a list?
TOPIC
Our new topic is Best of British. British people are well known for their love of gardens. We would like you to make, draw or create your very own park or garden.
