Good morning boys and girls.  I hope you are all well today.  Just a reminder that tomorrow is catch-up day which means that there will be no home learning posted in the morning so you can finish off anything that you need to do.

Click on the green link for spelling and phonics.

Below are your reading tasks.  Look for the name of your reading book to complete the task.  I will issue new books on Monday so please continue to read your book.  There is a really fun app called Teach Your Monster To Read which you can download as an extra.

Maths

Continue practicing counting in 5’s today.  When we were practicing counting in 2’s in class we used 2 pence pieces and counted them out to each other.  If you have a collection of 5p in eg. your bank, you could use them to count.  Below is a new song today.

For time today, I have added some clocks.   In the first exercise, read the time on the clock face and write the answer in the box.

Where would the small hand go to make these times?

 

Thursday is usually your PE day so I have added a workout with Andy below.   If possible, try to get out for a walk later.   Enjoy!

Numeracy

Numeracy begins with an activity in our messy maths jotter. You can choose between ‘Green for go’ or ‘Pink for think’. Use the numbers below, add two and 5 to each number. Remember to use things like a whiteboard, number line, cubes and so on to help you work out which is which.

Green for go

1 4 15
 0 7 6
19 23 18

 

Pink for think

18 98 37
25 13 68
54 89 12

 

Today I have attached a PowerPoint for you to look at all about Mrs Odd and Mr Even. When you have finished looking at it you could create a world for Mr Odd and one for Mrs Even.

Below I have attached some activities for you to try. You do not need to do them all. Remember no work is posted tomorrow so you might do some today and some tomorrow.

Literacy

Thursday is our story writing day. Today I would like you to write a story all about elephants. Perhaps you go on a trip and find some wild elephants, do they need your help? Perhaps you are there to make a documentary all about them now that you know some elephant facts. When your story is finished you could draw a picture to show what happened in your story.

When writing your story remember

  • Capital letters and full stops
  • Finger spaces
  • Think about the size of the letters, are they tall, small or do they go under the line?
  • Make sure your writing goes from the beginning of the line to the end.
  • Check to see if your story has a beginning, middle and end.
  • Read over your story to check that it makes sense.

 

Today you should also be revising your tricky words and phoneme. Normally we would have a spelling test on a Friday, perhaps this is something you would like to do tomorrow?

 

Expressive arts

Today I would like you to draw an elephant. To do this, go to YouTube and type in great artist mom – elephant. Remember to pause as you watch to give you time to draw each part. You could also include a background. You might like to add colour to your picture, you could do this with paint, pens, pencils or whatever you have at home. Remember that you are the artist and it is up to you to decide how you want your final  picture to look.
