Tuesday 12th January
It's Tuesday!
Good morning everyone.
There is no live Teams meeting at 9.15 today as I have sent out invites for smaller group Teams meetings. They will be another Read Write Inc session. It would help if your child could be ready with something to write on such as whiteboard and pen or paper and pen/pencil.
My good morning video for today can be found at the bottom of this page.
The sessions are at the following times:
Group 4: 9.30 - 9.45 am (follow up sheet for ow is at the bottom of the page)
Group 3: 10.00 - 10.15 am
Group 2: 10.30 - 10.45 am
Group 1: 11.00 - 11.15 am
Today we are also going to be doing ...
Dough Disco
It was lovely to have you join us for our 'dough disco' and 'funky fingers' exercises yesterday. We hope that you enjoyed it. We used 'Proud Mary' and 'I Think We're Alone Now' yesterday. If a child talks about a particular song we do try and use it, as in the case of this song. Today we have chosen ...
Maths - 'Alive-in-5!'. Lesson 2 (week 2)
Just to remind you when you visit the White Rose website you will find the videos for a whole week based around 'Alive-in-5!'. Today is lesson 2, week 2.
The lessons might seem like they are not challenging your child expecially as I know some children are able to count quite far. When children say numbers in order it's a bit like learning the words to a song, they may know them but they don't understand them. This slower pace ensures that children develop a deeper understanding of a number.

Subitising
At the start of each of the 'Alive-in-5!' lessons the children are asked to subitise (say how many without counting). Today at 40 seconds in (incase you want to rewatch it) the children were asked "How did you see that 5?". Asking children 'what do you see'? and 'how do you see it'? Are two very important questions in regard to subitising. With the picture below the answer might be "I see 6." and "I see 3 add 3". Look for opportunties for your child to practise this.
There are actually two types of subitising

I have another Jack Hartman subitising song today... warning this one is a bit quicker!
