Good morning boys and girls. Hope you are all well.

Let’s kick start the day with Joe Wicks

Today we will continue our learning through the story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”

• Listen to the short clip below to help recall the story

http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/short-stories/goldilocks-and-the-three-bears

• Now look at the activities below and choose the task you like best
• You do not need to print the activity sheet
• Complete the task in your jotter
• You only need to complete 1 task

http://learnenglishkids.britishcouncil.org/sites/kids/files/attachment/short-stories-goldilocks-and-the-three-bears-worksheet.pdf

Choose either:

• Match them up! – draw the pictures from the story and write the correct word beside each one
• What’s the order? – read the sentences and write the correct number to match each sentence
• Choose the answer! –  read then copy and complete each sentence correctly
• Find the words! – find the words from the story in the word search and copy them into your jotter

Just before you have a break, work through the power point below and choose the correct missing sound then have a well earned rest.

Goldilocks phonics

Now let’s get comfy and listen to a story about what happened to the bears when they tried to have their revenge on Goldilocks! It does not go well!

 

• We know that the bears in the stories are different sizes
• Have a look at pages 32 and 33 in the Exciting_Learning_Opportunities_Home_Learning_Collection

 

• Try some of the practical activities below:
  • Find your dolls, teddies, play figures etc. Line them up from the tallest to the shortest.
  • How tall are you? Can you measure your height? Use a  tape measures. Just experience and explore. Use a ruler and see  how long things are.
  • Use a spoon as a measuring device. Go around and see if things are the same size, shorter or longer than the spoon.
  • Why not make a paper chain. Talk about this getting longer, the more you add. You could measure it. You could also count the links together.
  • How many strides is the room length? How many steps is it?
  • Who is the tallest in your house? Who is the shortest and who is in the middle?
  • Can you make a list or a collection of teeny, tiny things? What other words describe small?
  • Which things are larger than e.g. a cow? Could it be a bus, a whale, a house, a car etc?   Make a list or draw things.
  • Draw around your hands. Who has the largest hands? How many fingers do you have?
  • Make long and short play dough worms and snakes

To finish off this part of the morning, play this comparing sizes game:

Before lunch why not get active and do the Daily Mile. Try one of the Challenges suggested below as you walk, skip or jog:

 

Hope you all enjoyed your lunch!

Wednesday is usually our day to learn some French so this afternoon let’s listen to the story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears” in French.

• Listen carefully and see if you recognise any French vocabulary.

• The French word for three is trois
• Join in with this French numbers song to revise numbers up to 10

• Practice counting aloud in French from un to dix
• Practice counting aloud down from dix to un
• Roll a dice or play dominoes and say the numbers in French

We hope you had fun with all of your tasks and activities today.

Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well.

Time to get active with Joe!

Today our learning will be around the story of “Goldilocks and the Three Bears”,  so maybe you could go and get your favourite teddy bear to help with some of the tasks before we begin.

Make sure you are in a good space as you will be asked to join in with some actions.

• First listen carefully and join in with the “House of the Bears” activity below.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/eyfs-listen-and-play-the-house-of-the-bears/zfj8gwx

• Now create some stick puppets of the characters in the story like the ones below and use your puppets to retell the story in your own words
• How do you think each character sounds? Can you change your voice to sound like all the different characters?

• Have a look at pages 26 and 27 of the Exciting_Learning_Opportunities_Home_Learning_Collection booklet before starting our activities:
• Try the Descriptions sensory activity. What can you find that is soft, smooth, hard, lumpy, rough or fluffy around your home?
• Sort them into groups and compare and contrast them against each other.

Time for a break.

Now get comfy and watch and listen to another version of the story.

 

• Do you think Goldilocks should have done what she did?
• Talk about her actions with a family member.
• Write a short letter to the three bears from Goldilocks in your jotter
• What do you think she should say to them?
• Should she tell them she is sorry?
• Set it out like the one below:

 

• There are lots of different types of bears
• How many can you think of?
• Watch and listen to the clip below to find out more about bears

• What is your favourite type of bear?
• What does it look like, where does it live, what does it eat?
• Do some research on your favourite type of bear to find out more about it and perhaps you could make a “Bear Fact File” about it with some information and illustrations or photos cut out from newspapers or magazines

Before lunch why don’t you keep active and head out to do the Daily Mile. Choose one of the Challenges and remember to keep safe.

 

 

For art this afternoon why don’t you get creative and make a picture of your favourite type of bear. Draw, paint, use collage materials or make a model.

Hopefully these pictures will inspire you.

Don’t forget to share them with us!

                   

 

• To finish off this afternoon perhaps a family member could help you to make some porridge or you could pretend to make some
• Think about how the consistency changes as it cooks
• What toppings would you add to your porridge?  Use your imagination – fruit, syrup, honey mmmmm!

See you tomorrow for another day of learning!

Hello again everyone!

Listen in to a story with David Walliams at 11.00 or join us for our weekly Friday assembly if you have a big brother or sister on Teams.

Today we are going to learn about RESILIANCE – it’s a big word which just means being able to” bounce back” from things that sometimes go wrong

Watch and listen to the clip below

Think about the things which will help you become resilient:

• get plenty of sleep
• talk and connect with other people
• learn new things
• express how you are feeling
• take time to rest and relax

Do you try to do all of these things?

How could you do some of them better?

Watch and listen to the Trolls singing about getting back up again.

• Now think and talk to a family member about a time when you were able to “get back up again” and not give up. I am sure you can think of lots of examples when you tried really hard to do something. That shows RESILIANCE!!

Thank you for all your hard work this week. We will see you on Monday.

Hello again everyone. Hope you enjoyed your writing task this morning!

Don’t forget to listen on to a story at 11.00 with David Walliams

http://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/category/elevenses/

Today we will continue with our work on Data Handling. Last week we used information we collected about creatures at the pond and then shapes to organise into a table.

Today we are going to look at pictograms or pictographs. This is another way of organising and displaying information to make it easier for us to to read.

Watch and listen to the clip below as coloured blocks are used to make a pictograph.

• Think about the information in the pictograph
• Ask a family member to help you use the  pictograph to answer the following questions:
• Which colour is the most popular?
• Which colour was least popular?
• How many green and yellow blocks are there altogether?
• How many red and blue blocks are there altogether?

 

• Now look at the pictogram below.
• Think of some more questions could you ask about the information shown in the pictogram?
• Ask a family member your questions

• Now look at the smarties below
• Have a go at constructing a pictogram of your own to show the different colours
• Record it in your jotter
• Or you could use real smarties or other sweets to create a pictogram of your own                                                           
• Think of some questions you could ask a family member about your pictogram

 

• Finish off by answering questions on some simple pictograms
• You can choose pictograms showing pets, fruit, ice cream and lots more

• Choose the Vertical Pictograms option Unit = 1

Have fun!

Good afternoon boys and girls.

Hope you enjoyed your Oral Narrative activity about “The Rainbow Fish”.

Today for art why don’t you try making a rainbow fish of your own.

Here are some ideas.

You could draw, paint, make a collage or even a model fish.

Make your rainbow fish as colourful, shiny and sparkly as you like!!

We would love for you to share them with us!
