Hello Parents.
I sent all of the girls home with a sheet of ‘Tricky Words’ today. There are 72 words on the sheet. I would appreciate it if the children read these every night until we formally start Seesaw.
There are 6 columns so pace yourselves. Perhaps take one column a week and instruct the girls to write each word out 5 times, put them into sentences, say / cover and write them down, then check the spelling. You could give your child a quick spelling test on a Thursday evening.
Also, as we are doing Fractions in maths for the next couple of weeks it would be a great idea to count out 20 pasta shells for your child and store them in an airtight container. The children could work on calculating 1/2 of 2 up to 1/2 of 20. They can do this independently then tidy the shells away in the tub for another evening.
If you have a copybook at home ask your child to practise writing out the hundred square 1 – 100. I will send the children home with a hundred square tomorrow that they can keep at home at all times. Ask the girls to write out even numbers 2 – 100, odd numbers 1 – 99, multiples of 5 ie. 5, 10 , 15 , 20 etc and multiples of 10 ie. 10 , 20, 30 up to 100.
Have fun with it. There is no pressure on anyone.
Everyone is doing their best.
But most importantly, ‘Stay Safe’ and take each day at a time.
Miss Cunniffe. : )
