Good morning 🙂

I hope everyone’s brain has woken up from the holiday by now and you are all managing to complete some activities at home.

Maths and Numeracy – Estimation

Yesterday we practised estimating how many objects, today we are going to practise estimating where a number goes on a number line. We have practised this in class so it should be familiar.

1) Have a go at this game (I have put 2 links as the bottom one is for tablets):
https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/37/placing-numbers-on-a-number-line

https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/resource/310/Placing-Numbers-on-a-Number-Line-Tablet-Version

2) Using your whiteboard or blue jotter, draw a 0-100 number line like the one below and pick a number between 1 and 100. Estimate where this number will go by drawing a little line. Repeat for a few more numbers.

You can change the numbers at the start and end of your number line. If you found this too tricky, try a 0-20 number line and pick numbers between 1 and 20, for example. Or try a 10-20 number line and pick numbers between 10 and 20.

If you would like a challenge, make the number range even bigger, or try a 100-200 number line if you would like to practise 3 digit numbers, for example.

Literacy – Grammar

1) Watch this video about capital letters.

2) Please log in to sumdog.com and find a Grammar challenge called ‘Punctuation and Capital Letters.’ Remember all the types of punctuation we have learned so far and where we should use capital letters. (The start of a sentence, people’s names, place names, days and months…)

If you are unable to access Sumdog, try writing some sentences of your own in your blue jotter making sure you use punctuation and capital letters. ( . ? , ! )

As always, any questions please comment below 🙂
Thank you,
Mrs Harding

Good afternoon!

Here are some activities for you to try this afternoon.

Literacy – Spelling
Log in to sumdog.com and have a go at the spelling challenge I have set for you.

If you are unable to log in to sumdog, pick 8 of your tricky words from your word wall or sheet and practise spelling these. In your blue jotter write today’s date and then write each word 3 times. Next you can pick two other spelling jobs. (e.g. bubble writing, sentences, rainbow writing, pyramid words, draw and label.)

French
Watch this French video and practise counting forwards and backwards as the children hop. What game does this look like?

If you have a garden and some chalk, draw your own La Marelle and play with someone who lives with you.
Can you think of some other games that you could play in French? Have a go! (e.g. Hide and Seek, Snakes and Ladders…)

Have fun!

Good afternoon boys and girls,

I hope you have managed to complete your tasks set this morning and that you have enjoyed getting back to your learning.

This afternoon for Maths we are going to look at symmetry. Can you tell someone at home what it means when something is symmetrical?

Remember its when the something  is the same on both sides.

Today can you play this game on topmarks where you need to match up the pictures to make them symmetrical.

Can you find things in your house that are symmetrical?

Why not try to make your own symmetrical picture today? Make sure it is the same on both sides. You could make a face, a butterfly, a house or a flower.

Remember you can complete your SUMDOG challenge too!

For health and well-being we are going to be focusing on healthy eating. This afternoon can you listen to the three videos below on espresso. Remember your login details are in your blue jotter.

https://central.espresso.co.uk/espresso/modules/ey_food/videos/video_healthy_eating.html?source=search-all-F-all-all&source-keywords=healthy%20eating#

You can also play the little game where you need to sort the fruits into the correct category.

Once you have listened to the videos can you make a list in your jotter of your favourite and least favourite foods. This can be done with labelled drawings.

Have a lovely afternoon everyone 🙂

Good Morning girls and boys,

For Literacy this morning we are looking at the ‘sh’ sound. Remember ‘sh’ can be at the beginning or end of a word. Here is a wee song to remind you,

Can you think of 4 words with the ‘sh’ sound? Tell them to someone in your house.

In your blue jotter draw 2 pictures of things with the ‘sh’ sound such as ship, shoe, fish or dash. Remember to add lots of detail.

Once you have drawn your pictures can you write the word next to it using your knowledge of sounds – think about what the first sound is, the middle sound and the last sound.

Then, can you think of a sentence with the ‘sh’ sound and write it on the lines underneath. For example, The fish is on the dish. 

Remember to practise reading the words on your tricky word walls. And there is a Sumdog spelling challenge for sh words for you to try this week.

For PE, are you still keeping up with Joe Wicks? I’m joining in with you – it certainly gets your heart pumping! I wonder what he will be dressed up as today?

For French, we learned the names of the colours in French. Can you remember any of them? Some are quite similar to the colour names in english. Can you name the colours of the rainbow in French with Camembear (click on link)?

And here is a wee song,

You can also pick some things to do on your home learning grid, if you are still looking for things to do.

Pop back this afternoon for maths and health and wellbeing tasks.

Bye for now 🙂
