Maths Tuesday:

Remember to revisit the counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Don’t forget you have your Times Table Rockstar logins inside your green books if you’d like to have a go. Parents you may need to assist in the beginning as it may still be a little advanced for them but it’s there if you’d like to have a go.

Reading Tuesday

We continue with the Julia Donaldson theme and this week we are going to read ‘Smeds and Smoos’. Put your feet up and listen to this version read to you by David Schwimmer. When you have finished this story, have a go at some of the activities listed below.

Revisit the pages where the Smeds and the Smoos are visiting different planets in search of Janet and Bill. Ask your child to use the Resource Sheet below to describe the different planets in the story, exploring the similarities and differences. Encourage the use of adjectives and adverbs and the retrieval of descriptive phrases from the text.

Discuss which planets your child would most or least like to visit and why. What would they like to do there? Would they like to live on any of the planets? Are any of the planets similar to Earth?
Show your child some photographs and/or film footage of some real planets and moons by searching the internet. Encourage the use of space related vocabulary such as orbit, atmosphere and craters.
