Y1 Phonics

Phoneme Spotter Alternative 'ai' spellings

Complete the Phoneme Spotter 'ai' activity in Teams. Underline the different spellings of the 'ai' sound. Read as much of the text as you can to practise your amazing reading skills! If you are struggling to read it all, take it in turns to read a line with an adult or maybe take it in turns to read a few lines at a time. 

Y2 Babcock Spelling

Engish

Past tense verbs

Task 1: Watch the short video below to recap verbs (action/doing/feeling words) and find out how to easily create past tense verbs by adding -ed.

Example:

Present tense (now) :I walk to the park on my own.

Past tense (anytime before now): Yesterday I walked to the park on my own. 

Task 2: Watch the story Caterpillar Shoes in the video below. 

Draw your favourite minibeast from the story and write 1-2 sentences to tell me what they did in the story. Remember to ad -ed to verbs to turn them into the past tense. Do this in your Home Learning book. I have included a verbs word bank on Teams for you to use. 

Challenge: Add some adjectives to describe the nouns. 

E.g. The caterpillar munched on the juicy, green leaf.

Daily Reading

You must read your reading book every day, just as we do in school. We do this after lunch but you can do it whenever you like! An adult must sign your diary to show this has taken place. You can of course read some of your own books at home to supplement reading. It would be great if this could be recorded in your diary too.  

Additional Activities 

• Practise reading any graphemes sent home
• Practise your multiples and play on TT Rockstars (your login is in your diary and multiples have been set)
• Practise spelling common exception words in your diary (Spelling Challenge)
• Speed read words in your Reading Challenge booklet
• Share your 100 book with your family
