Good Morning,
I hope you all had a good weekend. Saturday was very sunny and warm, a great day to be in the garden or go out for a walk.
Today we are continuing to learn our Fry’s words. We are onto the 2nd 100. It is really important to keep learning these, recognising them, being able to spell and write them down.
There is additional phonics practise for most of the class but crocodiles, you should really focus on today’s Fry’s words.
Today’s numeracy is focusing on Fractions. Watch the video, try some practical work at home and then attempt the games. You will need an adult to help you.
We are still learning about Time, so feel free to keep practising reading an analogue clock face.
Your challenge today is to think about growing some pea plants and preparing what you need. You will need to ask an adult to buy a packet of dried peas which usually go in soup. Or you can use any seeds you happen to have in the garden instead.
Materials- dried peas, kettle, bowl, cotton wool or tissue paper/ kitchen roll, plastic see through sandwich bag/ zip lock bag.
Step one- Pour 1/4 of your bag of dried peas into a bowl.
Step two- Cover the peas in boiling water (ask an adult to help you) and leave for at least two hours
(practise telling the time).
Step three- Drain the peas and leave to dry.
Step four- Dampen your cotton wool or tissue paper and place it in your plastic bag. ( do not soak it).
Step five- Pick some peas (at least 6) and pop them into your bag, onto the damp cotton wool or tissue paper.
Step six- Stick your plastic bag to a window and wait until your seeds begin to sprout.
Alternatively if using other seeds you can wet paper towel or kitchen roll, place some seeds onto it and put in front of a window.
Good luck and have fun
