PRIMARY 1: Friday 15^th May 2020

Phonics:

Dictation sentence : Dad did dig a big bit.

Practice saying the sentence a couple of times so that you can remember it. [Big person – get your child to say the sentence and count the number of words, then leave them to recall the sentence by themselves.]

Mental Maths:

I can count back from a given number within 20.

So either walk/hop backwards or think of your own movement backwards while counting down. You choose how to move!

Numeracy:

I can add to 10.

On your whiteboard - Roll a dice and make some adding sums. 

Roll and record first number eg 2 +

Roll and record 2^nd number 2 + 4 =

Work out the answer – you can use counting toys or counters to help.

Literacy:

I can look closely

Find the picture of the sunflowers.

This is a very famous picture by an artist called Vincent Van Gogh.  He lived over 130 years ago and painted several pictures of sunflowers.  Did you know that he was a bit mad and even cut off his own ear! Yikes!

Today I want you to look really closely at the picture. Do all the flowers look the same? Some are painted sideways on or hanging down.

I would like you to paint/draw/sketch your own picture using pencils/ crayons/felt tips or paints. You choose.

You can have a go at copying Sunflowers or maybe pick some dandelions or daisies or some flowers  maybe from your garden.

Put them in a vase or glass and have a go!

I want to put up our art gallery on our school website so please ask a big person to take a photo of just your picture and either messenger or email it to me.

Can’t wait to see your artworks
