Good Morning boys and girls!

I wonder what Joe will be dressed up as today for our daily PE session:

Now it is time for Literacy and today we are going to be using ‘Old MacDonald had a Farm’ as our context for learning:

Please have a look at pages 22 and 23 of the Exciting_Learning_Opportunities_Home_Learning_Collection booklet and complete some of the activities:

• Research facts about farm animals.  Read the fact bubble on page 22 then use the internet or non-fiction book to find out facts about your favourite farm animals.  You can write your findings in your jotter.
• Make your own farm.  You can build a model, draw a landscape or create a collage.  Check out the ‘Mini locations‘ section on page 23 for some ideas and things to think about when making your farm.  Here are some ideas:

• Together you can talk about how farms support our communities. What role does the farmer play? Think about what animals produce.  You could look at what food you have at home.  Where does it come from?  Check out the ‘All About Farms’ section on page 23 for some questions to talk about.
• Learn about animals and their young.  Sometimes baby animals have a different name from their mummies.  Can you find out the names of all the different farm animals and their young?

Let’s finish by watching and listening to a story about a very lazy farmer… Here’s ‘Farmer Duck’ by Martin Waddell:

Afternoon boys and girls!

Following on from last weeks ‘Silly Face Sandwich’ theme, today we will be making ‘Wacky Face Weetabix’.  Time to have another wee rummage around the kitchen and get creative!

We cannot wait to see your creations!

To finish up this afternoon, lets have another Cosmic Kids Yoga Adventure with Colonel Crockles the Crocodile!

See you tomorrow!

Hi boys and girls!

We hope you enjoyed your reading tasks this morning.  Now it is story time with David Walliams:

For Maths today we are going to be learning how to compare lengths and heights using particular words to describe the differences.

We use certain words to compare the lengths and height of objects, such as:

• long, longer and longest
• short, shorter and shortest
• tall, taller and tallest

Please visit BBC Bitesize using the link below and watch the videos before completing the activities:

Activity 1

Length or height?

Lengths are usually measured sideways, like the snakes above. Heights are measured upwards, like the giraffes standing on the ground.

Can you find pairs of objects around your home to compare and see which is the shorter of the two and which is the longer?

Compare your height with someone in your family. Who is the taller and who is the shorter?

Activity 2

If you can, print off this activity to complete at home.  If you are unable to print it out, you can write your answers inside your jotter.

Measure Activity 2

After all that hard work, let’s get outside and do the daily mile.  Check out more Daily Mile At Home Challenges below:

Have fun and we will be back after lunch time!
