Activity one:  Hunting for sounds

Pick six sounds that were covered in the 'Simple Sounds' mini game. Then go on a hunt around your home or garden and try finding objects that contain the same sound. Make a list of the items you find for each sound.

Activity two: Let's explore the UK- Write down the names of the countries that make up the UK. Using your phonics knowledge, try writing down any words that were in the video that you hadn't heard before. Then using the list of new words you've created, quiz the people around you to see if they know the words.

Activity three: Write two sentences for each country of the UK, explaining what you heard and saw in the video. If you can, try and use the new words you listed in the activity above.

Maths
This week we are going to look at shape. We are going to start with 2D shapes, then 3D shapes and finish the week with some problem solving. Today we are going to look at 2D shapes.
