Day 8 of your home learning pack
Phonics
Writing captions or sentences. 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.
Maths
Was your child able to complete the repeating pattern? You could make your own patterns using objects at home. We had a go too – can your child tell you how to continue the pattern we have made?
Literacy
Did your child write a book review? Please email photos or comments.
If you have any questions we are here to help and will respond to emails during school hours: scholesf2@spherefederation.org

Day 7 of your home learning pack
Phonics
How did your child find writing the phonemes? We focus on pronouncing the phonemes with a ‘pure’ sound. For example, ‘ssss not suh’ and ‘ch not chuh’. Here are some videos on phoneme pronunciation.
Phase 3 – please note, the pronunciation of ‘z’ is American so incorrect for your child. All other phonemes are pronounced correctly.
Maths
How did your child find the teens numbers activity? Number blocks are great short videos for helping understand numbers.
Literacy
Tricky word detectives! How many tricky words did your child find? The tricky word songs are a great way to support your child when learning to read and write tricky words.
Please email to let us know how your child’s home learning journey is going.

If your child is a Writing Warrior and would like to continue to complete the home-learning missions we can help!
We have been given Wiz’s top secret email address and will be able to email any missions completed to him. Wiz will then be able to send a new mission to your child! Just email us (Scholesf2@spherefederation.org) your child’s completed mission. We will then pass this onto Wiz and email back his message and a new mission.

Chicks and home learning pictures
Mrs Latham is kindly looking after our chicks. She has some ‘eggciting’ news to share. There are now 6 chicks. With the help of her family they have come up with some great names.
This chick is called Rapid…can you guess why?
We have also had lots of lovely emails, sharing all the wonderful learning that you have been doing at home. It’s great to see that as well as the daily home learning tasks, lots of you have been busy coming up with your own ideas too. For example, becoming scientists and doing the pepper and soap experiment, making dinosaur eggs from ice, going on bug hunts around the garden and making potions.
We love reading these emails. Please continue to send us messages and pictures with what you have been up to. We’ve shared a few pictures of your friends in F2.
We hope the sun continues to shine. Have a lovely weekend.
Professor Myers challenges you!
