Thursday's Lesson

Fitness 

My boys really enjoyed doing this fitness activity. I even did it and it was really fun. See if you can get your mum, dad, brothers and sisters doing it :)

Its only 5 minutes and is a good way to wake up your brain ready for some learning.

Maths

Let's start off with counting to 100.

Room 4 you are all amazing at counting forwards BUT can you count backwards?

Today let's work on counting backwards from 20.

Here is a song to help practise counting backwards from 20

Can you complete the missing numbers on the following table?

20		18		16
15		13		11
	9		7
		3

Extra challenge is;

*Count backwards from 20 with your eyes closed

*Count backwards from 20 while standing on 1 foot

*Find someone in your house and count backwards from 20

Writing

Today we are going to be writing about Mrs Wishy Washy.

First watch the following story

We are going to be thinking about where the naughty animals could have visited while in the city. 

In the story the animals visited a restaurant, the kitchen in the restaurant, and a hardware store.

I wonder what another place could be that they could visit.

Here is my sentence;

The cow and the pig and the duck went to the library. But the pig started to eat the books so they had to leave.

Our goal today is to write 2 sentences/ideas. My first idea is in blue and my second idea is in red.

Remember to use;

a capital letter

full stop

finger spaces

listen to our sounds
2 sentences/ideas

Reading

Remember to read every night or have someone read to you. 

Here are some ideas on how you could do your reading today.

Here are the videos of your sight words. Remember the challenge is to say the word before the lady does. 

I bet you are getting faster each day.

Games

You have to find the letter. Have fun.
