Set 1 Sounds Lesson

Today, we are going to learn all about the 'k' sound .

Parents: Look at the pictures below with your child. Say each object name, and ask your child to repeat the words after you.

 Parents: Look at the pictures below with your child. Point to one of the pictures, and ask your child whether it is 'k' or 'k-k-kangaroo.' Repeat a few times, getting quicker each time.

Now, practice saying these sounds.

Maths Time
Let's start today's Maths activity with a game of 'guess our number' . 

1. Miss Dodgson is thinking of a number that is one more than 5. What number is she thinking of?

2. Mr Kirkbride is thinking of a number that is one more than 9. What number is he thinking of?

3. Miss Dodgson is thinking of a number that is one more than 13. What number is she thinking of?

4. Mr Kirkbride is thinking of a number that is one more than 18. What number is he thinking of?

Well Done! Today, we are going to practice our adding skills again, so you will need your adding brains switched on. Like yesterday, we are going to use a number line to help us find the answer, but today, we are going to use a number line up to 20, so we hope you are ready for a big challenge! 
We have done the first one for you   11+5 = 

Remember, we find the first number from the sum (11), and put a circle around it, like this:

Next, we look at the second number in the sum (5), and then, we jump forwards this amount of spaces along the number line, like this:

The number it lands on, is the answer to the sum so, 11+5=16

Now, its your turn.

8+4=

10+3=

12+5=

14+6=

 Parents: To make this activity easier for your child, draw the number lines in their busy books.
