Wednesday 1st April

  • English/Science – We are in a new month and season – spring! Think about how nature has changed over the last month or so. What do you notice? Watch this video https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/science-ks1-ks2-seasonal-changes-behaviour-animals-growth-cycle-plants/zfynvk7  and look for signs of spring out of your window. Or if you can go for a walk, try spotting signs of spring as you go. Draw what you have seen in your Home Learning book. You might want to draw the view out of your window, or individual items. Label your findings, using your sounds to help you (at the top of the page I’ve added a sounds chart underneath ‘Handy resources’.) Colour it in nicely!
  • Maths – Practise counting in 2s. We did this at school recently – can you remember how we count in 2s? Watch this video for a reminder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvTcpfSnOMQ  Can you make a counting in 2s number line by using pairs of socks? Label each new pair of 2, e.g. 2, 4, 6, 8 and so on. How high can you go?!
  • Topic – Easter is just around the corner so it seems fitting to design and make an Easter card for your family. Look at the ideas on this document Easter card ideas to get you started (resources dependent!) Write neatly inside the card:

To……

Happy Easter! 

Love from

………..                              I’d love to see any photos of cards you have made 🙂

Tuesday 31st March

  • PE – Join Joe Wicks again or make up your own exercise!
  • English – Have a spelling quiz on your new set of spellings. Again, if you got them correct, stick or write them into the back of your home learning book. Can you write your spellings into full sentences for an extra challenge?
  • Handwriting – Practise writing the capital letter ‘H’ into your handwriting books and do both of the lines. Check on Espresso videos how to form this capital letter by following this link https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/primary_uk/subject/module/video/item339774/grade1/module1244120/index.html
  • Maths – Months of the year – watch this catchy video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omkuE6Wa5kQ  to learn the order of the months of the year. Then, try to find something around the house that could connect to a month e.g. daffodil for March, a Christmas decoration for December, a heart for February etc. Try writing and correctly spelling the months of the year, you could use this to help you make a visual calendar with all your objects Months of the year
  • Science – If you’d like to, have a go at baking and see what happens to the ingredients when they get baked. Think about how they look and feel when you start and then compare that to the final outcome. If you fancy, take photos or draw pictures of what you made – I would love to see anything you bake! Bread is good fun to make, chocolate chip cookies, buns or melt chocolate for Easter egg nests, or even watch how cheese melts on hot pasta! (this is a lovely activity any time – please don’t feel it has to be done today!)

Monday 30th March

  • PE – Start the week with Joe Wicks on Youtube!
  • Big Write – Think about your brand new ice cream sundae you designed last week. Describe the sundae in complete sentences and try to include several adjectives (describing words) to help you make it sound delicious! Remember to check for CFFS once you are finished. Try to include the name of your sundae too. I can’t wait to read these!
  • Reading – Choose a story that Oliver Jeffers has read on his lovely website https://www.oliverjeffers.com/books#/abookaday/ Maybe choose one you haven’t read/heard before. Take some time to explore his website. You can visit ‘Oliver Jeffers’ World’ when you click on Books and scroll down until you see the globe with ‘Oliver Jeffers’ World’ written on it. If you click on ‘Activities’ there are some nice opportunities to do puzzles, crafts or colouring connected with his books.
  • RE – Watch some of the BBC class clips for Judaism, particularly ‘Closing of Shabbat’ and ‘Meet a Jewish Family’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zqbw2hv/resources/1 You could draw what you have found out on Purple Mash or in your Home Learning book.

  • Friday 27th March

  • Handwriting – Go to Espresso website (see Preparations for Home Learning letter sent home and on school website)  https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/primary_uk/subject/module/video/item339768/grade1/module1244120/index.html (I hope the link works – please email me if it doesn’t!) to practise writing the capital letter ‘F’ in your handwriting book. Do the two lines we have set out.
  • Talk Homework – Think about your ice cream sundae you have designed. What fancy name could you call it? What different things have you put in it? Who would like it in your family? How could you describe it in a menu?
  • Maths – Can you make a clock using different objects? Maybe you could use chalk outside, and draw one. Or how about making a circular face with socks! Think about how to show the numbers and the hands of the clock face. Use your imagination! Please send me any photos of your creations.
  • Scavenger Hunt! Create a scavenger hunt around your house or garden. Write a list of the different objects members of your family need to find – aim for 10-15 objects. Can your family find them all?

Thursday 26th March

  • Phonics – Try out the ‘Teach your Monster to Read’ app if you haven’t already (information sent home last week)
  • English – Design your own ice cream sundae! Be as creative as you like, think about what you would put into it layer by layer. If I designed my dream ice cream sundae it would have lots of salted caramel ice cream with toffee sauce, chopped banana and sprinkles to make it colourful! Perhaps I might even add a crumbled up crunchie or maltesers for some added crunch and yumminess! Draw this creation on a page in your Home Learning book and label it carefully with the ingredients you’ve chosen.
  • Maths – I hope you are getting the hang of telling the time to the hour and half past the hour. Try out this Supermovers song to recap telling the time https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-telling-the-time/zk4t8xs then try this interactive game http://www.snappymaths.com/other/measuring/time/interactive/halfhours/oclockhpimm/oclockhpimm.htm which should work on a computer and tablet. You can set the timer to see how many times you can read in a minute or 3 minutes. Let me know how you get on!
  • History – We are going to find out about a famous individual called Florence Nightingale who was a nurse. Watch this 12 minute video that explains who Florence Nightingale was and why she is famous now https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/true-stories-florence-nightingale/z68fcqt. On a new page in your Home Learning book try drawing Florence Nightingale. Can you write a sentence or two about who she was and what she did?

  • English – At Roald Dahl’s school, children got free bars of chocolate from a nearby chocolate factory!  In return they had to let the factory know whether they liked the chocolate or not and why.
  • Task: Choose a chocolate bar or sweet that you have tasted and write down what you think about it.  Remember to use because, so, but to explain why you like / dislike it.  E.g. I love the yellow and white creamy centre because it looks just like a real egg.

You can find out more about Roald Dahl’s life on Espresso

Explore what one litre looks like:

Can you find different containers in your house that hold exactly a litre / half a litre?  How many drinking cups can you fill with a litre of water?  Can you find out how many ml there are in a litre?

IF YOU ARE POURING WATER THEN GO OUTSIDE OR WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE IN THE BATH!
