You could print or make your own version of the sheet below. Ask your child to look for one of the sounds ee/oo and put a counter/coin on the words that have that sound. Another option is to underline the words with one sound in one colour and the ones with the other sound with another colour.

Reading books
Read the book on your own.
Make sentences using the words from your book. First make the sentences (ask an adult to write the sentences for you, you can chop into words) from your book then use those words to make new sentences. Can you think about other facts that you can tell another person about your book’s theme?
Maths
Money
Today we are going to try combining our knowledge of number bonds and of money to try giving change to 10p.
- warm up those number bond brains by watching this video.
- Next, watch this video
You will need :
- a collection of small denomination loose change
- optional ‘price labels’
The adult should play the role of customer with a 10p coin, choosing an item to buy at a cost less than 10p. The child should work out how much change to give, then choosing the appropriate coins .
Now watch this video of a boy playing a shopping game with 10p to spend. What problems does he have?
If your child is consistently accurate and confident, then they could try the challenge of giving change from 20p
A number bonds to twenty warm up can be found here
