Here is a little timelapse video of some sunflowers growing to link up with The Tiny Seed.
I have written some sentences for you to read and to write to go along with this.
Read the sentences.
Look foe “oo” and for “ee”
Try using sound buttons on these.
Watch Geraldine the Giraffe to revise each of these sounds.

You could make a list of words that Geraldine use too .
Send me pictures
Happy Writing
If you have pens and pencils or paint,I would love a picture of a flower from your garden.
A little suggestion for handwriting.
Enjoy
I have made some doubles using Numicon.
Id like you to make some doubles too.
Use stuff in your kitchen.
Set them out then write the number sentence.
Send me your Doubles Pictures
I’d like to introduce you to some of my toys. They all have names and have been played with lots and lots and lots.
I have used them to set out doubles. I thought I could even write number sentences for them.
Use dice,playing cards and dominoes to find doubles and work out some totals.
Look at my photographs pf dice. How quickly can you spot the doubles?
Don’t forget to do a bit of estimation and number formation first.
Do a Maths Magic warm up:
20 claps.
20 jumps.
20 star jumps.
Do some estimations
Write your numbers 1-9
Now you are ready to watch Numberblocks and have a chat about doubling.

Here is a link to the Numberblocks episode to suppport “Doubles”
Double means twice as many.
Take a pack of cards. Find the two cards with the same number on them.
2…find another…How many altogether?
4…find another…How many altogether?
You can record the number sentence:
2+2=4 or double 2=4 or 2×2=4
We have not introduced x-multiplication yet but if you fancy it then you can.
Get two dice.
Roll them.
Shout “Double” or ” No” depending upon whether you roll a double or not.
Find the total each time.
Increase the speed.
Enjoy.
Use this guide to help you with the parts of common plants on your garden.
It is great and really user friendly.
Happy Hunting.
While you are out,try to find a dandelion. If you can,get a grown up to help you dig it out so you can see the roots.
Lay it out and put labels on it like my picture or you could just copy mine.
root,shoot,stem,bud,leaf,soil,seed.
Use your sound mat to help with writing the words.
Read the poem together while you are looking at the dandelions.
Here is a link to a video of a book by the author of The Very Hungry Caterpillar,Eric Carle.
I would have read this to the children in the classroom.
Put the digits in order again. Grown ups could make some mistakes when counting out loud. Pioneers,can you spot them making a mistake?
Get a number sqaure ready. Ask a grown up to say a number and you need to find it on the square. You could use a timer to see how quickly you can do this.
We have made it to Friday. Congratulations. Here are some suggestions for learning:
Play! Play! Play! Play! Play! Play!
Here is a little maths idea that you can adapt and extend to suit your children. Select numbers that you may have been working with when estimating and counting this week.
It can lead to some great maths chat.
Useful phrases are,”I wonder…”,””How do you know? ,”Can you check?”
Remember to continue your estimating too.
Happy Counting
Read the book together. Look for capital letters. Look for any sounds the are on the sound map. Take it slowly.
This book has the -ng sound.

My Hand Wrting suggestion in Nn and Mm
Video on Tapestry
And we have done a little song for the weekend. It is a bit crazy. I hope you have fun watching.
Have a wonderful day and play,play,play. Here are some suggestions for things to do today:
Ooops! Mrs Hann Got It Wrong
Take a look at the photographs. Each one has an error,a mistake. Maybe I counted without checking. Take a close look. Can you spot what is wrong?
Make up some sums with a grown up. Get them to check them. Can they spot any errors?
Get a grown up to make some for you too. Send some to your granny.Can she spot mistakes?
Send me your pictures and I will see if I can spot the mistakes.
Happy Counting
Remember to check
Handwriting
I have done a little video to support you with capitals and lower case letter formation. Today I have done s,e,and t.
All writing is good writing.
Story Time
I had a special request from Miley to read Supertato so the video is there for you all. If you have any requests for story time please,please,please let me know. I love reading stories for you all.
Here is the next exciting part of our story Jack and the Beanstalk. I love drawing story maps and telling stories.
Here is an idea…tell me what you think…Don’t do any writing….Tell the story
Get a grown up to watch while you use my storymap to tell the story.
How does that sound?
Or just watch our silliiness and enjoy the drama
Happy Stories Y’all
These are my suggestions for learning today,if you need them and some useful links that the Pioneers will recognise from school. They may help to fill a few moments in your day. Videos are available on Tapestry too.
Don’t forget to play . Play is the highest form of learning as someone very wise said.
Play. Play. Play. Play . Play.
Here is your new reading book and some ideas to use when you are reading.
Have your sound mat out to help you.
Watch Geraldine Giraffe to recap sh,ch and th. You might want to do this over a couple of days.
Here are some link to Geraldine:

Find all the sh words. Read. Copy . Write. Can you think of any others.
Repeat this with the other sounds..
Here is a very useful link to use everyday alongside your lists in the pack from school.
It is Mr Thorne doing all the High Frequency words that are useful.
Happy Reading
Jack and the Bean Stalk
Here is my story map for the start of Jack and the Beanstalk. I had a lot of fun drawing it. A man in a giant top hat helped by holding the paper and Nick composed a piece of music to help to tell the story. Video on Tapestry.
I hope you like the music and the stories.
Draw your own story map.
I will add more tomorrow.
What do you think will happen to the beans?
Do you think that Jack will meet the owner of the boots?
Happy Stories
Here is some number stuff:
I hope that the estimating is going well.
Here is a link to one of our favourite counting songs:
Counting on is a great way to get going with addition.
Have a numberline or a number square to look at.
You can count anything:shoes,pasta,teddies,stones or magic beans like me.
You can write down your number sentences if you fancy using + and =. You might even end up doing take away or subtraction.
If you are using playing cards the adding can get quite difficult so select your number to suit your needs. You could also try adding 3 numbers or even 4. once you’ve got the hang of it you can just count the symbols on the cards and miss out the magic beans.
Grown-ups – The Pioneers love to spot mistakes. It always good to make the odd error for them to identify and say why it is wrong.
Don’t forget to make your numbers nice and neat. I have added a little video to remind you.
Have a wonderful day and enjoy the sunshine with your families.
Its great for revision and for capital letters. We usually dance to this before lunchtime.
A funny thing happened when I went out in the garden. I found a pot of magic beans and some other very interesting items.
Take a look on Tapestry for a video of what I found.
Let me know who you think left the shoes.
I’ve written a little story starter for you and set out some Jenga words. Use your phonics and you can read it by yourself. You might fancy a bit of writing too.
Over on Tapestry are a selection of suggestions for short focussed tasks. There is a new reading book,some words to master and a little bit of handwriting to help you along.
There is a maths suggestion around estimating and counting with magic beans. The beans will feature in the story this week. I will share this later. I have included some weblinks we have used before and a suggest of an episode of Numberblocks,
Sumdog has been updated and their should be a new challenge for those of you who enjoy this type of learning.
I would love to hear some fun ideas or questions for estimating.
Please please let me know if you need anything to support anything you are currently interested in at home.
Now this is a wonderful suggestion for a chalk obstacle course that can be adapted to match the needs of the best balancer and the longest jumper. I am neither so I kept it very simple.
I got my chalk and drew some lines and symbols and made up some instructions for each area of my course. I had to include Hot Lava as this always features in Pioneer Play.
Here are some suggestions and pop over to Tapestry to see the video of my feet!
A straight line to balance on
A zig zag to step on
Dots to jump on.
A hopscotch
Use the features of your outside area too-don’t step on the cracks. Jump on drain covers.
Stay safe.
Happy Hopscotch
