Don’t forget to practise letter formation every day. If you have more than one child at home, one of them can be practising their formation whilst you work with the other. This website will help https://www.doorwayonline.org.uk/literacy/letterformation/ Supertato - Sue Hendra Watch a reading of the book Supertato Can you join in with the actions and voices? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rze89HB9u8g Re watch the video and see if you can remember what happens next. Who are all the characters? Talk about the different characters in the story. Can you describe the vegetables appearance and also what type of character they are? Create a word wall of as many describing words for the characters as you can. |
I can learn my number bonds to 5 Break the unifix cubes in half and just use 5 for today’s lesson. How many different ways can you make 5? Encourage using fingers to help understand. Separate the cubes in different ways and say the sentence together e.g. “3 plus 2 equals 5”. Write all the different ways in your exercise book. Look at the blog for more information on number bonds. Extension: Ask your child to write these down again later during the afternoon, without your support. |
Can you use some pots and pans around the house to create background music to go with the Supertato story? Can you pretend to be some of the characters and the voices that they make? Can you create an evil laugh like the pea? |

I can learn my number bonds to 10 Recap: Remind your children of yesterday’s lesson. What did we learn? Today use all 10 cubes. Encourage using fingers to help understand. Separate the cubes in different ways (just like yesterday) and write down all the possible ways of making ten. Get your child to say the number sentence before writing it down as they will have to learn these number facts by memory. Extension: Ask your child to think of how many different ways they can make number bonds to 20, with your support. |
Can you create a ‘jail’ for the evil pea? Look around your flat/house. Can you make something to trap someone inside who has been naughty? Is it strong enough? Tall enough? |

Wednesday Phonics Link it to today’s Literacy task and see if you can sound out lots of food/drink in the supermarket. |
Write a list of all the things we might find in a Supermarket. If we know what we might find, we might be able to look everywhere to see where Evil Pea is. |
I can order coins in value correctly Education City – search Swift Shop and use the learn screen/activities for the next 3 days of Maths Recap:Last week you looked for coins around the house. Resources: You will need 1p,2p,5p,10p,20p coins and your number line for this activity Put the coins on the table. Ask your child to put the coins in order from the least valuable to the most valuable. Get your child to use their number line to help them. Which coin is the least valuable? Which is the smallest number on your number line? So this coin will be worth the least. Make sure your use the terminology ‘1 pence, 2 pence (not 1p, 2p)’. When your child has put the coins in the correct order (in a line), get them to then draw around these coins in their exercise book in a line, writing the value of the coin in the middle’ Extension: Colour in the coins in the exercise book using, brown and a pencil for the silver coins. |
Choose one of these options. Can you draw a picture of the supermarket you go to? What is it called? What do you like to buy or look at at the supermarket? Can you design your own shopping trolley |

Thursday Phonics Choose a game from https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/ |
Are you a superhero? Can you be a superhero? Draw a picture of yourself with a mask on the eyes ‘What is your superpower?’ Here are some examples and you can then write these words all around your superhero (see last column) Sharing, caring, tidying up, drawing, love in my heart, being nice, strong, reading, being giving etc. |
I can use the coins to make different amounts Recap: Go through what you learnt yesterday. Go through the value of the coins again. Can you point to the 5pence? 20pence? Resources: Number line and a variety of brown and silver coins up to 20p. Choose 2 coins (low value e.g. 1p and 5p) and ask your children to add the amounts up. Tip! Always put the bigger number first, so 5p+1p – use your number line and remember to ‘count on’ Find number 5p and we are adding 1p so we would say that 5p plus 1p equals 6p. Get your child to write this in the book. When your child is confident with some lower value coins such as 1p, 2p, 5p – get them to work out adding bigger value coins such as 10p+5p = Extension: Can you add three coins together? |
Draw a picture of yourself as a superhero. Don’t forget the mask for your eyes. What about a cape? What colour is it? Do you wear a special suit or shoes? Draw it in pencil first before choosing your colours. |

Friday Phonics https://www.doorwayonline.org.uk/literacy/letterformation/ This website will really help you with letter formation so see if your child can write the following words, using their sounds. Try the * ones first * cat dog pan bed ** went from back sing *** Train Stick Bring Cloud |
If you make your own Super hero vegetable (see below) You can either draw him/her and use a speech bubble to write what he/she might say and write a sentence to explain what is happening. AND/OR Write a story about his/her adventures. Don’t forget with stories they need a beginning (introduce the characters) a middle (have a problem for some of the characters) and an ending (solves the problem). Keep it short and simple!
Other suggestions for SuperTato Make your own superhero Supertato or other vegetable! Take him/her around your home to help with jobs such as tidying your bedroom or putting away the dishes. Make a home for your potato or other vegetable using bricks. Think about how tall and wide it needs to be to fit your superhero! Who are our real life superheroes? Talk about all the key workers like the NHS etc and make some thank you posters for your windows. Discuss healthy eating and make a vegetable soup or a fruit smoothie. Use some toys e.g. lego figures, or teddies to set up a superhero scene. Use a piece of technology to film it for your family to watch.

I can use the coins to understand subtraction Recap: Go over Wednesday/Thursday. If you feel the need to revisit Thursday’s lesson, please do this as the more confident they become in recognising and adding two single-digit numbers together, the better. Resources: number line, coins Remind your child about ‘counting on’ yesterday to find the answer, today we are going to be taking away – we call this subtraction. Adding is counting on, subtraction is counting back. Choose two coins (e.g. 10p and 2p – which is worth the most? Which is the most valuable. Find number 10 on your number line. We are going to be subtracting taking away, so are we counting forward or counting backwards? Ok, so how many do we need to count back? (2) Let’s do this on our number line. So we would say that 10 subtract 2 equals? (8) Let’s write that in our book. What does a subtraction sign look like? (You can use the word minus as well here) Extension: Can you try and take away three coins? |
