Home Learning Week Beginning 1st February 2021
Let’s start the week off by listening to a story written by one of our favourite authors, Jack and the FlumFlum Tree, written by Julia Donaldson, click here to listen.
If you click here, you’ll hear Julia Donaldson singing a version of the story.
Here are some ideas of how you can bring the story to life throughout the week.
Monday – Literacy
After listening to the story, I wonder what you would pack if you were going of on an adventure? Can you find a bag or a pillowcase and fill it with everything you think you might possibly need, once you’ve gathered everything and explained what you think you might use it for why not play a memory game with all your items.
Lay them all out so you can see everything, then close your eyes whilst someone removes one item, open your eyes – can you work out what’s missing??
Tuesday – Numeracy
In the story Jack has a pair of wooden spoons, how many pairs can you find in your house? Can you help your grown up to match all the washed socks into pairs?
Creative
I wonder if you can build a boat like Jack did? Maybe you could use some things from your recycle bin, or a paper boat – anything really. When you’re finished do you think it would float in the bath or sink?
Here are some ideas for inspiration….
Wellbeing Wednesday
The problem in the story is Jack’s Granny isn’t well and he has to make her feel better. Do you know anyone that might need cheering up? I wonder if there is anyone you could post a wee letter or picture to?
The fruit of the Flum Flum tree makes Granny feel better, I wonder what it tasted like. Maybe you could experiment with your sense of taste and have a blindfold snack. Ask someone to help you prepare bite sized pieces of food and then feed them to you one by one whilst you are blindfolded – can you guess the flavours?
Thursday – Science
When Jack’s boat gets a leak he knows just what to do. I wonder if you could do your very own experiment – can you find things around your house that you think might float and others that may sink. You could even keep track of your findings on a chart if you wanted to!
Friday Challenge
The Isle of Blowyernose is far away – let’s think about distance. How far do you think you can walk, cycle or scoot? Maybe you could ask your grown up to use their phone to keep track of how far you travel or how many steps you’ve taken.
Please let us see all your achievements by either messaging your pictures to us on Twitter or simply tagging us in a tweet, we really are missing seeing all the learning that’s going on at home!
Funday Friday
Let’s get up and moving the weekend is here! Why not try this activity of doing some exercises with the letters of your name? I wonder if you can do your first name and second name too?
