Read your chosen story with someone at home.
Main Task
Read the short story below about cat. Then answer the questions. You can answer them by talking to someone else or you can write your answers in your jotter.
Remember, you need to answer in a full sentence with a capital letter and full stop. Not just with one word. So for question number 1 your answer would start:-
The cat is sat on the ……. .
Extra Challenge
Make up your own question about the story for someone else to answer!
Today we will be learning about the position of something compared to something else and learn about the language we use to describe where we or things are.
Warm Up
Watch these videos about days and months and sing along:

Main Task
Watch this video and try to spot the monkey each time. Can you use the correct positional language to describe where the monkey is before the song tells you?
For the next task you will need:
a teddy or other toy a table a box
Carry out each instruction in the table below to make sure teddy is in the correct position:
Put teddy on the table.
Put teddy under the table.
Put teddy beside the table.
Put teddy behind the table.
Put teddy in the box.
Put teddy between the box and the table.
Can you think of any more instructions for your grown up to follow to put teddy in different places? Example: Put teddy in front of the television. Put teddy under the chair.
Play ‘Where is Teddy?’ Hide your Teddy somewhere in the room and get someone to guess where Teddy is using positional language questions…is teddy under the couch? Is teddy on top of the shelf? Then swap and you have to do the guessing.
Extra Challenge
Look at the pictures in the grid and read the statements telling you where each object is. Draw the answer in your jotter for question 1 and write the sentence using the position words for number 2.
Game to Support Learning:
Click on the link below to play a game where you have to move objects to the correct position in the picture. TIP: click on the SLOW button on the start page as you can run out of time fairly fast.
Draw your own oval shapes in your jotter or on paper with a line down the middle. Or you could use chalk and draw it outside. You could also use a hoop or skipping rope to make an oval shape.
Choose an amount to put on each side of the set and draw dots to show it. Or you could use any household objects instead of drawing dots. How many altogether?
Record the additions underneath: in your jotter, outside with chalk, on paper, or any other way you like.
Extra Challenge:
Practise your number bonds to 10 by playing the ‘Total of 10’ card game
Have a look at the sentences below. Mr Messy has written them all in the wrong order. Can you unscramble them and read them out in the correct order. Remember to use your karate move action to show where the full stop would be when you are reading the sentence.
Main Task:
Look at the picture below and talk about it with someone at home. This photograph was taken by Miss Murray on her family farm where she is staying at the moment. Hundreds of lambs are being born at the moment – I think the current total is 800! This is a picture of a mother with her three lambs – She had triplets! The breed is ‘Scottish Blackface’ and the females in this breed have horns.
Have a look at the P1/2 blog for the 26th April to read the full story about the lambs from Miss Murray and see more pictures.
