Phonics
To start today's phonics please can you recap all of your phase 3 and phase 5 sounds that you find tricky. You can use your sound mats or you could use the flash cars on phonics play www.newphonicsplay.co.uk
Can you now practice some of your tricky words- You need to be able to read and spell these! Practise the ones that you find difficult. Choose up to 5.

Maths Challenge
Use objects around the house to help you solve this problem in a practical way and then have a go at writing the number sentence. Ask an adult to check your answer. Good luck!
Literacy
This weekend many of you will be celebrating Eid, I thought would be a lovely idea if you all made an Eid card for one of your friends or family. You could create a lovely design on the front and write a lovely message to one of your them friends on the inside.
Topic – Super Hero Bear (Thursday and Friday)
Have you seen the message from Mrs Rafferty on school story?
We thought it would be lovely if you all designed a 'Superhero Teddy' to say thank you to all those people who have gone to work so that we can stay safe, especially the NHS.
So put your Design Technology thinking caps on and send us photos of your designs.
We will choose one winner from each class and then one overall winner which will be made into an actual St. Thomas's teddy for school.
Year 3 have already been designing some and we thought it would make a great school competition. Scroll through the photos on Y3 school website as they may give you some ideas.
Your designs need to be sent to me on Dojo by Thursday 4th June at 3pm.
Good luck and get designing!
Remember, you can post your work on Class Dojo to show me what you have done. There are lots of dojo points on offer!
