Friday 5th February
It's Friday!!!! Well done for a fantastic week everyone! You have all worked so hard and we are super proud of you all! Make sure you have fun today, try and get some fresh air, and take breaks when you need them! 1 more week to go until half term! Have a fabulous Friday, and a lovely weekend!
Letter formation
Watch and join in with Miss Woodford as she practises the ladder letter ‘j’. Remember when writing the ladder letters they are nice and long! First, warm up your fingers and join in with the movements in the video below. This will get you ready to writing some lovely long ladder letters!

Spellings
So, you have practised those spellings every day, now amaze your grown-ups and show them how you can spell them independently!
Good luck!
Phonics- Emerging
Today we are going to focus on the sound ‘f’ and we will be using this sound for our challenges below. Watch and join in with Miss Woodford’s video.
Challenge 1- Can you go on a super sound hunt around your house and find things beginning with the sound ‘f’? Or you might be able to find things that have the ‘f’ sound in them! Miss Woodford found flowers, a fork and a fire engine. What will you find? Can you label the objects with the sound ‘f’?
Challenge 2: Can you jump and blend these sounds together to make some words beginning with ‘f’? Watch Miss Woodford’s video to help you.
Words: fit, fun, fat, fig, fog, fin

Miss Woodford helps with the Emerging Challenge!
Phonics- Expected
Today we are going to focus on the sounds ‘oo, oo and ar’ and we will be using this sound for our challenges below. Watch and join in with Miss Woodford’s video. Remember the long ‘oo’ sound is ‘oo’ as in moon. The short ‘oo’ sound is ‘oo’ as in book.
Challenge 1: Can you read these words and sort them into the ‘long oo, short oo and ar’ sounds? You could create your own Munching Monsters just like Miss Woodford did! All of these words are real words so you may need to practise using both the long oo and short oo sounds to see which ones sound correct!
Challenge 2: Now you’ve sorted real words using the sounds oo, oo and ar… can you log on to phonics play and sort the words into real and nonsense words. Remember bob likes to eat real words and obb likes to eat silly/nonsense words!
Phonics Play:

Miss Woodford helps with Expected Phonics!
Phonics- Exceeding
After completing the expected challenges, we are now going to focus on using the long oo, short oo and ar sounds in sentences! Watch and join in with Miss Woodford’s videos below.
Challenge 1: Look at the pictures below, can you write a sentence to match? Watch Miss Woodford’s video to help think of a sentence. Make sure your sentence has one of the sounds from today (long oo, short oo or the ar sound).
Challenge 2: Can you use the words below to create your own hopscotch at home? You can write the words on pieces of paper to create a sentence. As you land on each word, sound them out and blend them to say the word and then at the end say the whole sentence! Be careful to jump on the correct words to put them in order, otherwise the sentence might not make sense! See below for some sentence ideas!
I can cook the food.
The moon is big and bright.
The car can go on the road.
Words: book, foot, look, hook, zoo, broom, moon, spoon, car, arm, star, bar

Writing - People who help us
The last two weeks we have been finding out about emergency vehicles and the people who help us, such as, Police Officers, Firefighters, Ambulance Crews and Lifeboat Crews.
There are also a lot of other people who help us in the community and they are who we will be writing about today.
Mrs Fient has a PowerPoint down in the Topic section and you can look on Purple Mash searching people who help us and it is the second tab down - tools and games = but it is a simple story that the children will be able to read independently.
Some of the people who helps us are doctors, nurses, teachers, delivery drivers, shop workers, lollipop people, vets, dentists and bus drivers. Maybe you have a relative that does on of these jobs or another job where they help other people.
Challenges
Emerging - say and write a sentence - I can see a ... Write the initial sounds in words and have a go at some of the other sounds you can hear - shared writing with an adult
Expected - write a sentence about your chosen person and how they help you - try to write as much as you can on your own - shared writing if needed
Exceeding - as expected but can you think of two people who help us and how they help. Write your sentences independently - remember to practise your sentence out loud first and then read back as you write so you can see where you have got up to.
See the video below for support on sentence writing

Maths
Today we are going to investigate capacity! We will be looking at different containers and arranging them in order of how much water they can hold. Watch Mrs Fient's video to find out about the investigation.
Questions to ask to encourage mathematical thinking and reasoning:
What do you notice about the containers?
How are they different? What happens if you pour this one into this other one?
How can we find out which hold the most?
How do you know which one holds more?
Can you predict which container will hold the most and the least?
How many cups will they each fill up?
Can we put them in order from the smallest to the biggest/from which holds the most to the least?
Can we put labels on the bottles to help us remember how much is in them?
Maths emerging Can you complete today’s capacity investigation by comparing 3 different containers?
Maths expected Can you complete today’s capacity investigation by comparing 5 different containers?

Writing
Today we are going to be learning about a lifeguard and lifeboats, we will find out information about lifeguards and their lifeboats and also how these are used in an emergency! Watch Miss Woodford’s video below to find out key information about lifeguards and lifeboats, this will help you with your writing challenges!
Emerging Writing
Can you write the initial (beginning) and final (end) sounds in your speech bubble? Can you say your sentence out loud before writing?
The example below shows shared writing between an adult and child. The child is green and the adult is pink. Please watch the ‘how to’ emerging video to support.
I need help!
Expected Writing
Can you write a simple sentence in a speech bubble? This could be the lifeguard speaking or the person needing help speaking, have a think about what they might be saying. Practise saying your sentence before writing and count how many words you need to write your sentence in the speech bubble. Can you write the sentence independently by using your phonics to sound out the words? Can you add a tricky word?
Exceeding Writing
Can you add a caption under your picture? Can you add a tricky word? Your caption can describe what is happening in the picture. See Miss Woodford’s video to help with this. This can be a caption to describe what a lifeguard does or it could even include the name of the lifeboat in the picture! For example, The lifeguard keeps us safe at the beach. The lifeguard uses an all weather boat.
Lets get to know all about lifeguards and lifeboats!
Miss Woodford helps with Writing
Maths - capacity
Today we will be exploring capacity - this is how much a container holds. We usually use water or sand when working on capacity at school.
We are learning to use the vocabulary to describe how much a container holds, such as full, nearly full, half full, nearly empty or empty.
To explore capacity you will need a few clear containers and a cup or similiar -
All:-
Can you fill the container to match the vocabulary above - Emerging full. half full and empty?
Can you describe how much is in your container using the vocabulary above - Emerging full, half full and empty?
Expected - Can use your cup to find out which container holds the most and the least?
Exceeding - as above and then can you order your containers from the one that holds the most to the least?
See the video below for support
Capacity - part 1
Capacity - part 2
Topic - Lifeboats and Coastguards
Today we are looking at the vehicles that keep us safe on the beach, in the sea and rivers and along the coastline.
The coastguards use helicopters and lots of different boats and the RNLI have lifeboats that launch from around the coast to save people in trouble.
There are lots of things you can do to keep yourself safe around the sea - the most important one is to always stay close to your grown-ups. If you need the lifeboat or the coastguards you need to call 999 like all the other emergency services.
The lifeboat crew have to be very brave and put to see in all weather conditions and many of them are awarded medals of bravery. Grace Darling was awarded a bravery medal in 1838 - that is a very long time ago. She was a lighthouse keeper's daughter and she helped to save some people in a terrible storm, she had no safety equipment and would have been wearing a really long heavy dress and she only had a little rowing boat - she was a very brave lady because if she had fallen in she would have drowned.
Find out more a lifeboat station, the lifeboat and the crew that man the boat with Gecko in the video below.
There is also a weblink to meet Colin the coastguard and his friends, one of which is Goodwin the lifeboat man.
Could you draw a picture of Goodwin and his lifeboat?
Story time

Spellings for the week
Miss Sawkins' video below will help you with this weeks spellings.
Practise your spellings every day and remember you can come back to this video at anytime during the week to help you remember them. There are many different ways to ensure that your child engages with the spellings - please see below for some ideas. If you find a great way that works for your child please let us know, as it may work for other children too!
Word jumble - use magnetic letters, wooden letters, written single letters, make the spelling and then muddle the letters up and then ask your child to make the words. As they get better give them the letters without making the word first
Use art and craft materials to make/write the words
Use different colour pens. pencils, paints and types of pens to write words
Spelling choice board - see below

Writing
Before the writing challenge today you will need to draw a fire fighter and/or a fire engine! I have added a video and a sequence to help with ideas - maybe you could draw together or even draw your own versions. As the man in the video says our drawings do not have to look the same - no drawing can be wrong just have a go!
Now watch the Espresso clip in the Topic section as this will give you some ideas to help you with the writing today - we will be labelling a fireman and/or a fire engine so look out for words that might help you.
Finally we are ready to write ...
Emerging - to write the initial sound in labels for your drawing, to hear and say final and medial sounds in labels and attempt to write some.
Expected - to use your phonic knowledge to write labels for your drawing.
Exceeding - to use your phonic knowledge to make your labels more informative - yellow hat, fire proof jacket, and to write a caption for your pictures.
