Class P1McC Date – Monday 11th May 2020 Teacher – Miss McColm

Alloway Primary School Home Learning

Literacy

We have now

learned the first

100 common words.

Please make time

to practice these

words every day so

that by the time

the P1 children go

to P2 they can

recognise all of

these tricky words!

REMEMBER – All

children are

different so work

at a pace that suits

your child – you

both know their

targets. If you

need further

support then please

send a message on

SeeSaw!

Today’s Learning Tasks

Task 1- Guided Reading

Today I would like you to access your guided reading book on Oxford Owl.

In your pack you were given an information sheet about your username and

password to get into Oxford Owl.

When you log into Oxford Owl, I would like you to find your e-book.

Biff Chip Kipper

Silver Foil Rocket

The King and His Wish

The Big Carrot

If you fancy giving yourself a challenge you can try another groups reading

book!

Task 2 – Have a Go

Choose any picture from the pack you were given.

Every Monday in school we do our “Have a Go” writing. The children are

confident in this now. They are given a line drawing of a detailed picture. It

changes each week. As a class, we discuss the picture. What can you see?

Who do you think the characters are? What is happening? Etc… lots of

discussion!

Then we talk about words we might need to use when writing about this

picture and we practice spelling/blending them out together.

The learning behind this task is really to give the children confidence to just

Have a Go! Lots of discussion is really useful and you may wish to model a

good sentence but then get rid of it. We aren’t looking for the children to

copy a good sentence – they will never learn. This task enables the children

to use all of their phonic knowledge and common words to write a sentence

on their own. Don’t worry about how they spell words, don’t correct them,

just let them go for it!

Maths

Task 1:

Number Talks

Number Talks encourages children to share their different mental math

processes aloud while the teacher records their thinking visually on a board.

Today I would like you to show your child the dot pattern picture. You can

also

replicate this picture onto a piece of paper if that is easier.

Ask your child:

What can you see? How many dots are there?

How do you know there are 10?

What different ways can you see 10? ( 4+3+2+1 or 6+4…)

Show your child you understand their thinking by drawing round the groups

of numbers they see or let them show you themselves.

Task 2: Addition and Subtraction

You have been working hard on your Subtraction workbook at your own pace.

Continue to do this if you have not finished!

We have now learned how to add and subtract numbers through active

games and completing our workbooks. Most of you are now working on your

fast recall of our number bonds to 10 and beyond.

I have attached a worksheet to the planner. The worksheet encourages

your child to look at the following number sentences and record whether

they are right or wrong. They will show their answer by using dots. This is

made clearer on the worksheet .

Additional weekly task:

Sumdog

A Sumdog challenge has been set for you. It begins at 9am today and you

will have until 3pm on Friday to complete! Enjoy!

Seesaw Activity

Today I thought we could experiment with some of the features on Seesaw.

There are little fun lessons available on Seesaw for your child to take part

in. Seesaw gives you clear instructions on how to complete the work. It then

sends me the work you have done electronically. This is our 1st time trying

this so don’t worry if it does not work accordingly. Hopefully your child will

enjoy working a little bit differently on this task.

You will get a notification when this Lesson becomes available on your child’s

profile.

Today’s lesson:

Mystery Science - Why do Baby Animals Look so Cute?

Science is all around us. Let's get ready to learn something new today with

Mystery Science!

There is no pressure to do any of these tasks! Do what you can. Thank you for your

efforts and cooperation - Miss McColm 😊
