Home Learning Week Commencing Tues 4th April 2021

Last week we were learning about ocean pollution and all the plastic/rubbish in the sea. What creatures live in the sea that we want to protect? See if you can find out about some interesting, unusual creatures! Draw a picture and then…
Reception – Write 1-2 sentences with adult help.
Year 1 – Write 2-3 sentences, as independently as possible. Remember to check for capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.
- Spanish
For the next few weeks, we will be learning the colours in Spanish. Watch this week’s video:
Wednesday – Friday
Phonics – Reception & Year 1
Wednesday – This week’s tricky word for reception is – SAID. Think of a sentence that contains this word and write the word in lots of rainbow colours. Try to write a simple sentence containing this word, making sure you don’t forget to use a capital letter, fingers spaces and a full stop.
For Y1, learn your next tricky word as we have been doing. Write 2 sentences with your new tricky word in.
Thursday – Sort out the /oi/ and /ow/ digraphs into the correct words. Cut out the digraphs and stick them in the correct places. oi and ow sorting
Friday – Spend some time practising your reading today.
Maths – Reception
This week we will be learning how to take away numbers by counting back.
Wednesday – Can you count back from 10? Notice how the numbers were getting smaller. Can you make a number line from 10 to 1?
Watch this video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b08r41qb/numberblocks-series-2-ten-green-bottles
And then complete this activity: Counting backwards number tracks
Thursday – Use your toys to make a pretend bus – no more than 10 passengers! Make up stories together about how many people get off at each stop.
Then, practise saying the number work to go with it. E.g.
First there were 5 children on the bus. Then 2 people got off the bus. Now there are 3 people on the bus. So 5 take away 2 equals 3.
Friday – Watch this video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0bn5bpz/numberblocks-series-3-numberblock-rally
Maths – Year 1
This week we will be learning about halving.
Wednesday – Use some food from your kitchen. How could we cut it in half to share fairly/equally between two people? Can any of the objects be cut in half in a different way?
Look at these photos and discuss what you can see. Real life halves
Thursday – Remember that one half is one of two equal groups. Can you cut out and then half the food to share it equally between the lunch boxes? Stick them down with glue. Lunch box halving
Friday –
Topic – Reception & Year 1
Wednesday – We currently have live caterpillars in our classroom to go into a butterfly garden. Lots of the children have been asking about how the caterpillars will turn into butterflies and when.

Recap the story:
- What happened to the caterpillar as he ate more and more?
- What did he turn into before he became a butterfly?
- How will the butterfly start again as a caterpillar?
Thursday – We are making handprint caterpillars at school today! Click on the link for some inspiration!
