Monday 20^th April

Hello! I hope you had a lovely Easter holiday and didn’t eat too many Easter eggs. We are back to home learning today. Here is a new home learning grid with lots of tasks for you to complete.

home learning grid 2

I will still continue to post other tasks for you to complete each morning and afternoon. Please comment on these posts to tell me how you are getting on. I would love to hear from you!

This morning I would like you to write about your Easter holidays in your jotter. Write a few sentences to tell us what you did to keep busy during your two weeks off. Remember to include what you did, who you did it with and any other interesting information you can think of. Draw a picture too.

I have set up a spelling challenge on Sumdog for you to complete. Log into Sumdog and complete the games based on your groups previous spelling words. I will log in too and see how you are getting on. Good Luck!

Remember to practice your tricky words on your word wall each day with a family member. Try reading the words and if you want a challenge – try to write some too.

Well done boys and girls. You have made it to the last day. I’m sure you have been working hard on your home learning for the last few weeks and now all deserve a rest (and lots of Easter eggs!)

Last few tasks before you have your two week holiday.

1. Practice your tricky words on your word wall. Ask a family member to test you if you can
2. Watch the alphabet song below

3. Try to put these Easter words into alphabetical order in your jotter.

rabbit/chicken/egg/chocolate/Jesus/Easter/lamb

Remember if two words begin with the same letter, you need to look at the second letter to help you. Good Luck!

I hope you have a happy Easter holidays and enjoy resting. Stay at home, stay safe and remember to keep washing your hands. Speak to you on Monday 20th April. Mrs Reid.

Good afternoon everyone. I’m sure you have worked hard this morning.

Writing

This afternoon can you write a story about the Easter bunny in your jotter? It can be a funny story, a sad story, a cheeky story, an adventure story – use your imagination. Remember to use capital letters at the beginning, finger spaces between your words and full stops at the ends of your sentences. Try to include a description of your bunny and good vocabulary to describe what happened in your story. Here are some questions to think about…

What does your bunny look like? – size/colour/facial features

What did your bunny do in your story?

Is there anyone else in your story/? What did they do?

Was there a problem? Who solved the problem?

Does your story have a happy or sad ending?

Remember to draw a picture of your story too!

ART/TECHNOLOGY

This afternoon try to create a picture or a model of the Easter bunny. You could use junk, lego, your salt dough, play-doh, natural materials from outside, paper/pencils/crayons/paint etc. Use whatever you have in your home. Remember to email pictures of your bunny. I’d love to see them. Mrs Reid

Good morning boys and girls. It’s almost the Easter holidays – not long to go now!

MATHS

This morning please can you watch this video to remind you about telling the time.

Now can you please complete a time worksheet from your home learning pack – chose whichever one you would like to do. Ask an adult to check it for you.

Now can you teach someone in your family what you know. Teach them about the hands of the clock and where the big hand and little hand should be pointing to at different times. You can also teach them about digital time if you can.

If you can – practice counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Try and go as far as you can. You could then try to start from different numbers to make it trickier, If you want a challenge, then try to count backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s. Here is a 100 square to help you if you need it. Good luck! Mrs Reid

Good afternoon P2. Hope you had fun making your salt dough this morning.

MATHS

This afternoon, use your salt dough to make different numbers. Try to make different numbers up to 100. If you want to challenge yourself then try to make numbers to 1000 and beyond.

If you didn’t make salt dough and don’t have any play-doh at home then make your numbers using dried pasta/raisins/chocolate buttons/lego bricks etc.

There are lots of Spring Maths activities on this website. Once you are on the website choose a Maths game – Easter eggs, flowers, bunny, present or chick. Have fun!

MUSIC

Mrs Keenan has also sent you some links to practice your signing and rhythm. Here they are below. Have fun!

Hi everyone. Hope everyone is safe and well. Here are a few tasks for this morning

Make salt dough with an adult to help you. It is very easy to make. Here is the recipe and instructions

4 tbsp flour (any kind)

1 tbsp salt

Half a tbsp vegetable oil

30ml water

1. Measure out your ingredients and mix them all together. Knead it together. If it seems too wet – add a little more flour
2. You can add food colouring/glitter/herbs etc if you want
3. Keep it in a sealed bag/box and it will last all week

Use your salt dough to make your first and second name. You could also try to make capital letters from your salt dough. Start at the letter A and try and make all the letters right through to Z. You can use the salt dough that we made in class that you took home too or play-doh.

If you finish this, try to make  an Easter chick or bunny using your salt dough. Have fun. Leave a comment on this post to tell me how you are getting on with your salt dough. Enjoy! Mrs Reid.

Good afternoon. Hope everyone managed to make as many ai words as they could. Well done!

This afternoon watch the video about subitising. You love joining in with this song in class. Sing along and shout out the numbers as you go.

A few afternoon activities

1. Pick two numbers between 0 and 10

Add your two numbers together to find the total. What is the answer?

Double it! Now what is your answer?

Take away/Add 10, now what is your answer?

*Repeat with another two numbers between 0-10. (Pick two numbers between 0-20, 0-50 or 0-100 if you want a challenge)

2. Try to make different dot patterns to 10 using objects around the house eg. lego bricks, coins, pasta shells, teddies…

Remember to leave a comment to tell me how you are getting on. Good Luck! Mrs Reid

Last post for the week.  Try to make a sandwich for your lunch with your family. Add some tasty fillings. See if you can half your sandwich then quarter it. Ask an adult to help you. Try to half and quarter other things you eat today – pizza, cakes etc. Have a lovely weekend. Stay safe. Mrs Reid!
