9:30 - 10:15 Phonics with Mr Elks
Today we will be exploring the 'ow' (Brown Owl) digraph.
I have emailed the Zoom link to parents.
I will be showing the ‘Phonics-ow-powerpoint’ during the Zoom meeting.
Afterwards, watch the ‘Brown Owl and Her Friend’ video and the ‘Alphablocks’ video.
I would like the children to practise their blending skills by reading 'ow' words using the flashcards (see below).
Then, I would like the children to practise their segmenting skills by spelling 'ow' words
which their parent/carer says out loud.
Extra Challenge:
Write sentences including at least one of the 'ow' real words. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end.
Plenary
Practise blending and segmenting ‘ow’ words by completing the Purple Mash Phonics activity.
Practise reading some high frequency words from the powerpoint/flashcards below.

Katie in Scotland - 5th Extract
11:30 - 12:30 Maths
LO: To be able to add ones using number bonds.
Please watch the Maths input video or powerpoint below.
You could also watch the Numberblocks video below.
Today, we are focusing on identifying number bonds.
Number bonds are different set of amounts which add up to the same total (answer).
We are also focusing on adding using a number line.
We must use a number line to show the addition of two numbers.
Main Activity:
Choose a number between 11 and 19 to be your total (answer), e.g. 12.
Identify four sets of two numbers that add together to make your chosen total.
These will be your number bonds, e.g. 4 + 8 = 12, 8 + 4 = 12, 3 + 9 = 12, 9 + 3 = 12.
Use a number line to check that your number bonds are correct.
Extra Support Activity:
Identify all number bonds to 5.
Use objects or draw pictures to help you with your adding.
Extra challenge Activity:
Find all number bonds for a specific total.
Work systematically (go in order).
e.g. number bonds to 15:
0 + 15 = 15, 1 + 14 = 15, 2 + 13 = 15, 3 + 12 = 15, 4 + 11 = 15, 5 + 10 = 15, 6 + 9 = 15, 7 + 8 = 15,
8 + 7 = 15, 9 + 6 = 15, 10 + 5 = 15, 11 + 4 = 15, 12 + 3 = 15, 13 + 2 = 15, 14 + 1 = 15, 15 + 0 = 15
Plenary:
Look at the Maths plenary document below. Discuss the 'True or False' question.
This is a very important activity that helps the children to grow their reasoning (problem solving) skills.
Optional Extra Practise:
If you would like to practise your addition skills some more, you can:
- answer the problems on the ‘Optional Extra Practise’ powerpoint.
- complete the Purple Mash activity (see 2Dos).

INPUT
After the priest has said the words that Jesus used at the Last Supper, the parish family prepares to receive Jesus in Holy Communion. As part of preparing to receive Jesus everyone prays the family prayer that Jesus gave us, the Our Father.

Our Father who art in heaven hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
thy will be done on earth it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those
who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil. Amen
