Words to read:
Parents: you could write them in your child’s home learning book if your child cannot read them on your device.
Words to write:
Parents: Read the words aloud.
1. hair
2. fair
3. pair
4. chair
Did you remember the trigraph ‘air’?
Phonics Activity: Write the sentence.
Parents: Read the sentence aloud.
She has fair hair.
Top Tip!
Before your child puts pen to paper encourage your child to say the sentence and count the words in the sentence – this is a good chance to talk about where the finger spaces would go. Once they have done this, they are ready to write! Encourage your child to then check their writing.
**Challenge**
Can you extend the sentence?
E.g. She has fair hair and brown eyes.
Parents: How did your child find the writing activity?
Remember, it is okay for things to be spelt phonetically. It is important your child grows into an independent learner. Encouraging your child to write the words as they sound rather than always spelling correctly we encourage the children to use their own skills – rather than copy from an adult.

Story of the week: What the ladybird heard by Julia Donaldson
1. Listen to the story. Can you spot the rhyming words?
2. Draw and label the animals from the story.
Maths
Draw or paint some ladybirds. Give each ladybird 10 or 5 spots.
How many spots on one side, how many on the other?
Talk about the calculation on both sides of the ladybird.
Can you record your number sentences?
E.g.
There are 4 spots on one side and 6 spots on the other side. There are 10 spots altogether.
4+6=10
There are 8 spots on one side and 2 spots on the other side. There are 10 spots altogether.
8+2=10
**Challenge**:
Each ladybird must have the same amount of spots on each side.
How many different doubles can you make?
E.g.
Double 6 equals 12 or 6+6=12
Double 2 equals 4 or 2+2=4

This week we will be thinking about the story Supertato by Sue Henndra.
Here are some activities that you can try that are linked to the story.
How many different ways do we eat potato?
Talk about this with your child eg mashed potato, chips, jacket potato, crisps.
Make your own Supertato or super vegetable – Draw on the eyes with a marker and add a paper cape with sellotape. Send us a picture via the email we would love to see your creations.
Have a try at vegetable printing or drawing your favourite vegetable.
What colour is it? What shape is it?
Sorting carrots –Which are long, which are short? Can you put them in order from shortest to longest? Use the words long, longest, short and shortest with your child. How many carrots have you got? Count carefully pointing to each carrot as you go.
Evil Pea – If you have frozen peas in your freezer have a look at them in their frozen state. Feel them, what do they feel like? Watch them defrost. How long does it take? Does it defrost more quickly in different places around your house? Use the words “frozen” and “melting” with your child.
Make a sign – tell evil pea to stop being unkind. Ask your child what they want it to say and write this for them. They can add pictures of evil pea and maybe a STOP sign.
Let us know how you get on, by replying to the email address stjameseyfs@spherefederation.org
We would love to hear about what you have been doing and are happy to answer any of your questions too.
Have fun!
Home Learning
Well done to Hannah, who I think beat Mr Mills at the shoe lace challenge last week!
Hannah also gave me feedback from the music task. This is what she said about her favourite song:
“My favourite song is Roar by Katie Perry. I like this because if anyone is mean I remember it and I feel better immediately. It also helps me learn, so I can keep going.”
Home Learning Heroes! – Week 4
Take a look at what our home learning heroes have been up to this week:
A big thank you to the children who sent in photos of their completed focus number challenges, taken from the number 14 lesson video this week…
You are all superstars!
Have a fantastic, sunny weekend!
It’s Friday!
HELLO FOUNDATION!

We hope you are enjoying the new home learning videos. You are all doing so well! We love reading the emails and seeing what you’ve been up to.
Teddy Diary Continued
Miss Marsden is trying to do a lot more cooking during ‘lockdown’. She has bought two new cooking books. On Tuesday, she made a pasta dish. She definitely added too many chilli flakes – it was too spicy! On Wednesday, we had chicken fajitas – they were delicious! Here I am helping Miss Marsden with the cooking! Cooking is a great maths activity. Why not help your adult cook tea at home.
We made some wobbly strawberry jelly!
This week, Miss Marsden has been doing lots of exercise. She goes running every other day and does hula hooping sessions. They hula hooping sessions are great fun!
Tonight, we are having a movie night. Look at all of my popcorn!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Pride and Presentation
It’s great to see pictures of the home learning you’re doing at home. Here is some Y6 maths learning Mya has been doing. I’m so impressed that Mya hasn’t let her standards slip with her pride and presentation- well done!
