Home Learning Ruma 4
Please help your child with these home learning activities which support
the classroom programme and will develop and consolidate skills
which are essential for further learning.
Always acknowledge when your child tries hard (“You are working hard”) or
masters the skill (“You can do it”).
Read Read Read
Spend 10 minutes a day reading to your child or listening to them read to you.
If your child is stuck on a word give them time to think and then give a clue.
Discuss words which they may not understand and the storyline.
Mathematics Basic Facts
Several times a week help your child to practise the basic maths facts.
This is the order we teach…..
Addition to 10 then subtraction from 10
Addition and subtraction facts to 20
Multiplication facts in this order x2 x5 x10 x3 x4 x6 x8 x9 x7
A good website we use is https://maths.prototec.co.nz/
The essential words are used so often, it is very important that we learn to read
and spell each one.
Help your child to master reading and spelling these words.
Several times a week, ask your child to read and write some of these words.
If a word is tricky follow the process below to help your child to learn it.
LEARNING YOUR WORDS LOOK, SAY, COVER, WRITE, CHECK
LOOK at the word you want to learn, and I mean really look.
Which bits of the spelling are easy and which are not so obvious?
Mark the 'hard spots', that is the difficult part of the word, using a different coloured pen.
Is the word similar in spelling to another word that has a related meaning?
SAY the word, while looking at it. Is the spelling a reflection of the sound?
If not what is different?
COVER the word with your hand or a piece of paper.
Close your eyes and try to 'see' the word in your head.
WRITE it.
CHECK your spelling by uncovering the word and comparing it with your spelling.
Check it letter by letter. If it's wrong, start again; if it's right, celebrate how clever you are.
