S2 WEEK 10 29.6.20-3.7.20
Hello everyone!
I hope that you have had a good week and enjoyed the weather. Did you enjoy last week’s blog all about space? I did! If you didn’t manage to research some different astronauts make sure you do. We have mentioned Neil Armstrong, Tim Peake and Mae Jemison can you find out about any more? Look down at the history unit.
Did you listen to Look up! By Nathan Bryon ? It was suggested on the topic website. I loved the illustrations. You can even have a master class with the illustrator.
We also had lots of fun thinking up different animals to go into space and the writing the headlines. Such as :-
Harold the giraffe orbits the moon!
We are carrying on this week by thinking about aliens.
First let’s get into the alien mood by listening to Let’s Move!
DANCE
2.Meet the aliens
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03g6vs3
ENGLISH
There are lots of wonderful books about aliens. Many of them can be read online but check your bookshelves and see what turns up. You might have Aliens love underpants.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADnAGBWlzqE
Can you spot all the rhyming words? Go back and watch it again , stopping the video on each page and make a list then you will see.
I wonder what else Aliens might like to take on their trips to Earth.
Aliens love…………….
Another of my favourites is Beegu
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaX_zGZO0Y8
https://safeyoutube.net/w/yVk6
Do you feel sorry for the little alien, I do. How do you think an alien contacts his mum? What do you think he would say? Why not make some alien puppets and act it out. Go and have a conversation with your mum and tell her some lovely things. Do you know what a compliment is? Here is one…… I love that dress , you look really pretty today. Pay some one a compliment and watch how they react. It will make you feel good to. Maybe some one will pay you a compliment.
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-t-4371-beegu-word-mat
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/daily-reading-beegu-activity-pack-ages-5-7-t-e-2550149
Do you think Beegu will ever return to earth?
You could write a story about when he does return.
Where does he land? Zoo, park, garden centre, beach?
Who does he meet? You?
Perhaps he invite you to his planet, where is it and how do you get there?
I look forward to reading ‘The adventures of Beegu!’
Way back home by Oliver Jeffers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgGVJmPLNS4
Don’t get stuck like this little boy! Who does he meet on the moon?

LENGTH AND HEIGHT
We did a little bit of measuring way back in March. Check it out on the website and have a go if you didn’t manage it first time around.
Year one small steps:-
*Compare lengths and heights
*Measure lengths
Year two small steps: -
*Measure lengths in centimetres and metres (cms/m)
*Compare lengths
*Order lengths
*Four operation with lengths
This is a topic that should have been covered in the Spring term, it includes plenty of opportunity for problem solving.
List five things you would measure in metres and five that you would measure in centimetres. For example:-
1.My handspan is ……cms wide. 1.My bedroom is ………..m long.
Order them- which is the longest, which the shortest.
Compare them- The ………………….is longer than the ………………..
The ………………..is shorter than the ………………
I wonder how tall a space rocket would be? Can you find out?
How tall is you model rocket?
We all like to see how much we grow. I wonder how much you have grown in lockdown?
Maybe measure and compare the heights of all the members of your family. Parents like to guess how tall you will be when you are an adult. What do you think?

S2 week 8 15.6.20-19.6.20
Hello again everyone!
I thought I would let you know that we had a great time in school last week, with a few year ones, in our Minecraft Team bubble. We were also able to wave and smile at the other children in their bubbles.
It made us think about bubbles and balloons. We read a story called The Blue Balloon by Mick Inkpen. Have you got any books by that author? Why not have a look and read them all. We have made a little display in the classroom.
We also watched a very old silent film called’ The red balloon’. It inspired us to write stories about our own coloured balloon that takes us on an adventure somewhere like a desert or a zoo and we get given a present to take home. The results were great. Have a go!
BUBBLES
Some of you may have done some work on bubbles last week but I didn’t want anyone to miss out.
Use this week to check through all of our blogs and see if you missed anything out or if you can find out anything more.
Science: Raisin Bubble Boogie Science Activity 1
This experiment is really easy to set up and will help to develop an understanding of floating and sinking, liquids and gases.
What you need :
A bottle or glass of clear fizzy drink (e.g. lemonade, tonic or soda water – freshly opened)
A handful of raisins (4 or 5 will suffice)
Now pour out a glass of fizzy drink and drop in the raisins. Now watch the raisins dance!
What’s happening? The raisins are initially too heavy to float, so they sink into the drink. The drink itself contains carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, which has been forced into the drink at high pressure. When a bottle is opened, some of this gas escapes immediately (you hear the whoosh as it rushes to escape) but the rest remains in the liquid for quite a while. You may notice that bubbles form on the sides of the container first. Tiny imperfections in the glass/plastic make ideal sites (known as ‘nucleation sites’) for bubbles of gas to form. Dropping anything else into the drink will provide more of these sites, so more bubbles are produced. Raisins have a pitted surface, which makes them ideal for the formation of gas bubbles. When the raisins reach the bottom, bubbles of CO2 form and attach themselves to the raisins. These act like floats for the raisins and together they rise to the surface. Here, the gas bubbles burst into the air, leaving the raisins without their floats to sink again. The process repeats and the raisins dance up and down! This will continue only whilst the drink is still fizzy – as more bubbles burst at the surface, fewer remain in the drink, until eventually it will become ‘flat’.
You may like to try other small food items to see which ones float, sink or dance. Broken pieces of spaghetti, pasta shapes, lentils, uncooked popcorn and some berries will also dance. Look at the surface of each item and try to predict which will work well.
Go scientists!
SOUND AND HEARING
Did you make a string telephone last week? They are good fun. Did you measure the length of the string?
In school we are going to experiment with different ‘strings’ all two metres in length. Which ‘string’ do you think will make the best telephone? Wool, cotton or string.
Have you ever wondered how we hear sounds? What part of your body helps you to hear? How does it all work?
How do we hear sounds?
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/cfe-sc-20-what-is-sound-powerpoint
This experiment helps us to understand how sound travels.

This can link to last week’s work on music.
What makes sounds into music?
Why not play this game.

EARS
We use our ears which we have one on each side of our head.
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-t-3612-ear-diagram-activity-sheet
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/parts-of-the-ear-powerpoint-us2-s-369
Look in the mirror at where your ears are positioned. Look at their shape. Does everyone have the same shape ears?
Animal Hearing
What sort of ears does your favourite animal have? Where are they positioned on their body? Is it in the same place as a human?
Find out about some other animals. Are there always a pair, one on each side of the head of the animal?
Who has the most unusual ears?
Are there any animals without ears? Why?
Investigate animals that use sound for things other than hearing. Why do you think they do that?
Hear is a reading comprehension on hearing.
Fact file:-
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/ca-sc-33-narwhal-fact-file
Make up your own animal fact file that includes a section on communication and hearing.
Games
Humming- play a game of hum that tune with your family.
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-t-18373-whos-ears-game
ENGLISH
Make a list of the sounds that animals make. Then turn them into sentences, year two can add an adjective.
Ex A dog barks noisily.
Why not make it a super sentence by adding where it happens.
Ex A dog barks noisily behind the wood shed.
Song
Listen to the jungle animal sounds backing track. Then look at the song. Could you write your own song to the tune of ‘wheels on a bus’?
Ex:- The cat on the chair goes purr, purr purr. etc
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-t-2548395-the-noisy-animals-in-the-zoo-song-powerpoint
Sounds
Sit outside and listen to the sounds all around you. If it is fine lie down and close your eyes. Does the weather make a difference to the sounds you can hear? Check it out.
Make a list of sounds. Can you separate them into manmade and natural sounds? Do you think the current situation has made a difference to the sounds that we are hearing? I am sure the birds are noisier, what do you think?
THE SOUND COLLECTOR
Did you read the poem ‘The sound collector’ by Roger McGough, that I suggested in last week’s blog? If not, read it now.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIL0kgnxJIo
Listen for one minute and write down all the sounds you can hear
1. In the house 2. In the garden
Use these sounds to write your own poem.

Do carry them on or you might like to try and write your own Lock down song!
It could be about your home, family, school or town.
Use a familiar tune such as London’s burning or Three blind mice, to set it too.
You could write out the words, perform it to your family or even film yourself.
Is anyone a popstar in the making?
HISTORY/DT
I have just found out about someone called Octavia Hill 1838-1912. She cared about people and the environment. She wanted to improve homes and surroundings for the poor in London.
‘A few acres where the hill top enables the Londoner to rise above the smoke to feel a refreshing air for a little time and to see the sun setting in coloured glory’
She thought that more open spaces would improve everyone’s lives. Do you think that is important?
Would it have been more or less important in Victorian times? Why? Can you find out what organisation she set up?
Design a garden in a box. Something that Octavia Hill would approve of! Use lots of natural materials like shells and feathers, pebbles and sticks.
Do you know of any real people that design gardens?
MATHS
Capacity
Start by collecting lots of different containers, bottles, jugs, cups etc. Ask a grown up to fill a tub up with water for you. Put some bubbles in if you like and play!
Can you order the containers? Which holds the least? Which holds the most?
What are liquids measured in?
Ask permission to look in the cupboards and check out containers that hold liquids. What are they and how much do they hold?
How many containers hold exactly a litre?
How many cups make a litre?
Year ones, don’t forget to investigate floating and sinking of different objects and materials.

Hello everyone!
Thank you to those of you who have sent photographs of last weeks work. The fruit salads made me feel very hungry! Feel free to carry on and finish anything before you start the new topic this week.
Enjoy!
TOPIC -This week is music
The topic suggests you find out about famous musicians and which country they come from. They could be musicians from the past or the present. Vivaldi, Wagner, Beethoven, Taylor Swift or Elton John.
What makes a good musician? Do you think you could be a musician of the future? What would you call yourself? What sort of instrument would you play? Would the music have words or not? Have a go!
DT/SCIENCE
Make an instrument
Try and make a musical instrument of your own. How will you play it?

NEW MATHS TOPIC, STARTING AFTER HALF TERM, IS PROBLEMSOLVING!
Use the rest of this week as a catch up for anything you feel you need extra practise on. I will give you a few ideas.
Can you read and write numbers, in digits and words, up to a hundred?
Read these number word and write the number.
Fifty-three……………………………… six………………………………………………….
Twenty-two……………………………..ninety-four……………………………………
Thirty-nine………………………………one hundred…………………………………
Now write these numbers in words:-
81…………………………………………………..62……………………………………………………
90………………………………………………….14…………………………………………………….
38…………………………………………………47…………………………………………………….
Year Two you can go back and write all your number words in a joined script. Give it a go but remember to form the letters correctly and lead in and lead out.
Q: Lucy writes an even number between 56 and 60 in words. What could it be?
Practise counting forwards and backwards in ones, twos, fives and tens. Year one start from 0 but year two can start from 0 and then any number.
Q: There are eight pairs of shoes in the cupboard. How many shoes are there altogether? Half have laces, how may is that, in shoes and pair of shoes ?
Pick six two digit numbers, partition them into tens and ones .
Ex: 37= 3 tens and 7 ones.
Put them in order of size, either from the largest to the smallest or the smallest to the largest.
Now compare them ex: 37>25 or 25<37
Year Two can you make these true?
64………..73 45…………44 13+7…….20 33-7=……..+21
Q: Jack has 34 sweets, Bella has 43 sweets and Jamie has 24 sweets. Who has the fewest?
Q: Jon has fewer than 50 setts but more than either Jack, Bella or Jamie. How many could he have?
Q: Tom has 40 marbles and Jake has 70 marbles. How many more marbles does Jake have than Tom?
Q:Sally has 35 beads and Jane has 40 beads. They want to make a necklace that has 90 beads long How many more do they need?
Could you make a pasta necklace? How long is it? How many different types of pasta have you used?
Practise the rhyme ‘Ten and zero you’re my hero’ etc
Year Ones can you turn it into a poster?
Year Two use the rhyme to help you answer questions such as :-
21+19= 33+17= 42+28= 54+16= 38+……=50 etc

I know that you are all lovely, kind children so I thought you might like to read these forty acts of kindness. How many have you already done? What else can you do to help your family?
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/40-acts-of-kindness-at-home-ages-3-7-t-tp-2549621
Make a poster with your own acts of kindness.
Celebrations
Make a list of all the celebrations you can think of. Maybe interview a family member about their favourite celebration.
Which ones are specifically Christian?
Do you know which season they come in?
How many can you think of?
Here are some others to help you:-
Hannukka, Holi, Father’s day, EID, Diwali, Chinese New Year
You might need to find out a bit more about some of these celebrations.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/shows/lets-celebrate
Write a special menu for a celebration you know about such as Easter or Christmas or one you need to research such as Diwali.
Design a card for a summer celebration that is coming up soon or invent a new celebration! What is it called, what are you celebrating and how is it celebrated?
Then of course you will need to celebrate it!
ART
Mrs Amphlett found this wonderful little booklet from the National portrait gallery.
https://www.npg.org.uk/assets/files/pdf/learning/MSH.pdf
Who would you most like to paint a portrait of? I think I would like to paint the Queen!
Have a go at painting or drawing a family member or designing your own superhero as the booklet suggests.
PE
This week was supposed to be sports day so why not hold your own!
You can make a list of the sports you could do such as egg and spoon race or obstacle course. Get all your family involved and make stickers as prizes. It could be great fun!
I hope you enjoy some of this week’s work and have a lovely break over half term.
WEEK FOUR 11.5.20-15.5.20
Hello everyone! I hope you had a great time over the Bank holiday weekend and were able to join in the V.E. day celebrations. I would love to see some of the things you did, so send them in.
This week I will be putting up the work a little differently. It will still be separated into subjects, but I will put the whole weeks work, for that subject, into the one blog. You can still choose how much of it you do and which subjects you do each day. I will also put up a link to a whole week’s work that has been done for you.
Let me know which you prefer.
Here is this week’s whole topic on the Rain forest, if you would like to look at this. I like the video clips.
If you would prefer someone to be delivering the lessons to your children online there the Oak National Academy lessons.
https://www.thenational.academy/online-classroom/schedule/#schedule
Choose a year group, then a lesson.
Also, I was made aware that one of our PDFs wasn’t working. So here is the link to the ‘Spring into Spring’ booklet which, if you able to download it, makes a lovely activity book for the children to use. https://www.tts-group.co.uk/home+learning+activities.html
TOPIC
How have you got on with the whole school water topic? Ready for some thing new? Have you seen the new Earth topic? There are some great things to do and you can build up your points. Let me know how you get on.
MATHS
What is estimation? It’s a good guess.
Why not collect some empty containers of different sizes and fill them with different things. You could use lego, pasta, stones, shells, tennis balls etc. Don’t count them yet!
Estimate (guess) how many items are in each container. You will need to write it down. Then empty them out and count them! Simple as that. How close were you? Did you make a good guess or were you way out? To play again just put something different in the container and guess again.
Estimating-TIME use minutes and hours
If you liked that activity why not estimate how long things will take to do, you may need a stop watch or a timer. Or Estimate how many times you can write your name in One minute, or how many star jumps you can do. Then do the activity and see if you made a good guess.
Estimating-LENGTH use centimetres and metres.
Guess how long your foot is in centimetres, then measure it.
Guess how long your garden is in metres.
Guess how long your slide is.
Have fun estimating!
White Rose have put up some challenges on their learning page. Numbers one and two are key stage one but see if you can work through them as a family.
https://wrm-13b48.kxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Family-Challenge-Friday-1st.pdf

Watch these lessons on chronological order, it’s funny!
All the teachers have been looking at old photographs. We always think our parents looked funny when they were young.
Why not ask to see some photographs of you when you were little. Can you put them in the correct order? What about pictures of when your Mum or Dad were little. The further back you go the harder it is. Why do you think that is?
What sort of things do you have to do in the correct order?
ENGLISH
We can put the events in a story in chronological order.
Think about the nursery rhyme of Jack and Jill.
Jack and Jill
Went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water
Jack fell down
And broke his crown
And Jill came tumbling after!
Draw a series of four or five pictures to tell the story of the rhyme. Then cut them out and see if you or another family member can put them into chronological order.
Alternatively, watch the wonderful video that Mrs Amphlett has put up on the Wrens page under story time.
Could you write the story of the toys escape and get all the events in the right order.
Write these sentences in the correct order :-
How to have a bath
Dry yourself.
Wash yourself.
Run bath.
Get out of the bath.
Put the plug into the bath.
Get dressed
Let the water out of the bath.
Put bubble bath into the bath water.
Get undressed.
You could draw some pictures to improve the instructions.
These are cards that can be printed out and sequenced in the correct order, to tell the story.
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/search?term=sequencing+events
HISTORY
Do you know what important event is going to be celebrated on Friday?
It’s the 75th anniversary of V.E. day.
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-h-215-ks1-ve-day-resource-pack
This is a great resource pack that includes a reading comprehension for you to do.
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t2-h-4718-ve-day-wordsearch
This is a wordsearch.
But what does V.E. day mean and why should we celebrate it 75 years after the event?
That is what we need to find out!
https://www.historyforkids.net/ve-and-vj-days.html#
This next link is said to be for key stage two but I think you will like it. It has lots of old photographs from 1945 of children.

I hope you have got your flags ready;did you make any bunting to put up?
At three o’clock there is the Nations toast to the Heroes.
This is when we can remember all the people who helped bring peace to this country.
Perhaps you can plan your own family tea party. Make some cakes and ice them with a union jack! Dress up like a soldier or a child from 1945. Or just have a pretend party with your toys. Find your own way to celebrate V.E. day.
ENGLISH
Watch this powerpoint about V.E.day.
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t2-h-4788-ve-day-powerpoint
Why not write a paragraph to tell me how you are celebrating V.E. day.
Pretend you are a child in 1945 and describe how you feel about the end of World War Two. Describe the party, what did have to eat.
Look up some World War Two recipes.
https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t2-h-4750-wartime-recipe-booklet

HISTORY
At school earlier this year I asked you who was important in promoting good hygiene in hospitals.
Edward found out it was Florence Nightingale!
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zns9nrd/articles/znsct39
BBC bitesize, Key stage 1, History, Nurses has a video about her life. If you ask, turn the subtitles on while you watch the video and read along. You may even be able to pull up a transcript of the video.
Why do you think Florence Nightingale became a nurse?
What her nickname and why?
Do you think she made a difference?
Who was the monarch at the time?
Have you heard of Nightingale hospitals?
Write a paragraph about Florence Nightingale’s life and her achievements.
Florence Nightingale was given a medal.
DT
Design a medal for the NHS workers today. You could put it on your window next to your rainbow.
Do any of you want to be a doctor or a nurse?
How to make a wind sock
You will need:
- Plastic Bottle
- White glue
- Tissue paper
- Ribbons
- Hole puncher
Cut off the top and bottom of a plastic bottle to make a tube
Mix glue and water in equal parts. Tear up strips of tissue and paint them onto the bottle tube with the glue/water
Punch holes in one end and tie ribbon through them. Punch two holes at the top to tie a string loop
Hang the wind sock up on a stick, pole or washing line. Watch which way the ribbon blows. The wind is blowing in that direction
ENGLISH
How did you get on with the tongue twisters? Can you say them without laughing? Here are a couple more:
Red Lorry
Red Lorry, yellow lorry
Tutor Who Tooted
A tutor who tooted the flute tried to tutor two tooters to toot.
Said the two to the tutor, is it harder to toot or to tutor two tooters to toot?
MATHS -position and direction
You can use your wind sock to find out which direction the wind is blowing from. Does the wind always blow from the same direction? Does it change direction during the day?
Problem solve this question and answer -always, sometimes or never.
If two objects turn in different directions, they will not be facing the same way.
You may need to do the task practically then record it in your book.
Don’t forget to keep looking at the White Rose home learning for your year group, there are daily lessons which look fun.
PSHE
If you log onto Coram life education.org.uk hopefully you have found Harold’s daily diary, if not take a look now. Then have a look under the tab Help for children, there are more things to do.

If you want to make it more difficult:-
My Teddy is on the left of my action man but on the right of my football.
Year Two- Make an array with your toys.
Either use six or nine toys.
Use the mathematical language left, right, above and below.
E.g.- My Teddy is on the left of my action man but on the right of my football. It is above a book and below a bat.
Can you draw a picture to represent my example?

ART
Have you ever been to an art gallery? Is a place that houses lots of paintings by different people. Why not make your own gallery. You may already have some artwork you have done at school or over the last few weeks. Think of a name for your gallery. How are you going to display your paintings? You may need help if you use string and clothes pegs or prop them up on chairs. You could do posters inviting your family to the opening and you could make tickets and even serve refreshments. What fun! Let me know how it goes. You could give me a virtual tour.

Are you still keeping a diary of what you do each day?
Take a look at Harold’s daily diary on Coram life education.
On Monday he was making helicopter spinners, why not try making one.
Will it fly outside?
Harold was also saying tongue twisters. Why not try this one –
Rachel Robin rolled a rosy red radish.
Can you tell what makes it difficult to say?
Year 2 , this is also called alliteration
Try mine- Roger Robin rubbed a ruby red rose.
You could write one for Rachel or Roger or use your own name. See how many times you can say it in a row.
Who can write the most difficult tongue twister?
Here are some popular ones to try out on your family!
Terrific Tongue Twisters for Kids

Week Two Monday's blog
Hello everyone . I hope that you have got into a good routine and are all being helpful at home. Were you able to do some cooking? Who has set up a shop? What ever you are doing. I hope you are still smiling. Perhaps today you can be helpful without being asked. Well done .
Writing
Who has written a letter before ? In this age of technology we don't always choose to do this. First, start with your address you may find this on an old letter. Remember to ask first if you can have it. Practise copying your address. This can be your handwriting for today. It has to be neat so that the postman can read it. Well done. Now practice your full name. That means your first name and your surname . Remember to start with a capital letter. .
I expect you have been told that you wont be seeing grandparents or friends for a while so why not write them a letter. Tell them everything you have been doing they will really like receiving it and you never know you may get one back. Hopefully your parents will have a stamp.
Reading.
Do you have a favourite author? Look on your book shelf to see if you have more than one book by the same author. If you are interested look on line to see if they have written any other books.
You might be able to find out something about the author such as what they like writing about and where they live. Ask your parents if they have a favourite author and if so why they like their books.
Read something you read when you were younger. If you can read it to someone that is good . How can you tell its for a younger person? Do you think you can read it with more expression than you used to.
If you can get your parents to log on to literacy shed for you. There are lots of books with reading activities.
How is the diary going. If you haven't started yet. Start today! There are lots of books written in the form of a diary. Have you got any?
Science
Lets think about plants. What do they need to grow? Make a list of things. How does your mum keep cut flowers alive. Could you do an experiment to find out how long a daisy would survive without water. What would you change , what would you keep the same. .
Go into garden . What is the difference between a weed and a flower? Does it matter?
Draw some of each.
Maths.
Ask for a ruler or tape measure. Go around measuring things.
Year one find things that are longer or shorter than a ruler. Remember to start measuring from the line. Get someone to help you. Can you record what you find Year twos measure twelve things carefully and write down the measurements carefully. Are any on the half way mark . Now try and put them in order from the shortest to the longest.
Draw around everyone's feet in your house, who has the biggest feet? Is it the tallest person? If you have some help you could mark how tall everyone is against a door or wall. Check its ok first!
What else could you measure? Have some fun. Does the person with the largest head have the longest arm span .
See if you have any top trump cards. These often have weights and measurements on them. If not make some of your own.
Ict
Look up the heights of different animals. Find out where they live. Could you make some animal top trumps with this information .

Friday 27th March
Morning everyone. How is the weather chart going? You need to be wearing suncream and a sun hat to keep you safe .
Lets start by looking out of a window. How does the view change from each different window? Do you like the view?
Art
Draw the view through your favouite window. Notice details like birds , plants and trees . What buildings do you see? If you can take a photograph to put next to your own drawing.
Year two. Think how the view would change in a different season. Could you do another drawing through the window in Winter? Often we take for granted what is right in front of us every day.
Here is your chance to really look .
Science
Sit in front of your favourite window and listen. It helps if the window is open. What can you hear? Use all your senses. Remember what they are? Your hand will help you-how many fingers do you have?
If you can go out side and sit in front of the window , now close your eyes and use your senses again. When you open your eyes make a list of what you heard.
There are less aeroplanes and people out and about . How do you think this is affecting nature?
Your parents may have heard things on he news .
Maths
Remember our work on tallying. Why not tally things you see in the garden such as birds .
Can you put these tallys into graph. Year Two -what will the scale be up the side?
If you can get onto twinkl there are some great bird tallying work sheets .
What shape is your garden. Can you pace out how long and how wide it is. If you can draw it on to squared paper Year two , one square equal to one pace.
Year one just draw what you see and label it.
Can you put North south east and west on your drawing. Year two , what are in between positions? Have any of you got a compass? Remember to make it point North.
Ict
If you can have a look at google maps , you may need some help. Put in your post code and find your house , if you put in the school post code you can see the school. Zoom out. We are part of the world. If you listen to the news you will know that lots of countries are working together to get rid of this virus. Can you find any of these countries on a map?
Have a good weekend. Remember you can still do lots of these activities in your own time.
Morning Robins, its week one and its Wednesday. I hope that you have made your bed and are ready for some more ideas to fill your day.
Hand writing and spelling
Start by saying he days of the week. Can you remember the actions? This will be yor spellings for today.
Ask your parents if they know the poem about thedays of the week? Monday's child is fair of face....
Year two why not write your own ex Monday's dog likes to dig up bones.etc year one think of something you do each day ex On Monday I like to.......
Can you start a weather chart to remind you what the weather was like each day .maybe use symbols for the type of weather then you can carry it on until we get back to school .
Maths
Why not do some cooking today. Start with something easy like fairy cakes. You will need to read the instructions weigh out the ingredients and work out how long you need to put them in the oven . A recipe is a set of instructions so follow them carefully. You will need someone to help you.
Year ones can you work out how to double the recipe or Year two can you halve the recipe. How much of evrything will you need .
Why not go through the cupboards and tally the food you have got .
Can you sort the shapes of the containers . Have you notices what shape your tea bags are?
Can you write a shopping list and work out how much things cost , it doesnt have to be real prices.
Year two if you have one pound to spend , what could you buy?
Year ones you might like to set up a shop and buy and sell things. What price would you put on those cakes you made. Can you give change from 10p and 20p
Writing
Cooking is following instruction. What else needs instructions?
Play your favourite game do you use the instructions?
Could you write instructions of how to write a book . What would you put in the book?
Remember to keep it to show me. .
There is a book called Until I met Dudley about a boy who write instructions of how things work. But they are very strange instructions! Could you write some instructions of how the Clockwork dragon works from the book we started to read. Draw some pictures to illustrate it.
Science
Lets go outside why not draw a plan of your garden like Mrs Lemon's children did yesterday.
Made a list of things that are alive and not alive in your garden add some pictures How else could you sort things? Plants /not plants, Look around like a scientist, look underneath things what can you find in the shade and in the sunshine?
If you are allowed to dig can you find a worm. Watch how it moves. Draw a picture of it.
Have you got a magnifying glass to look at things more closely. Draw and label a diagram of an ant or a ladybird. Where do they live. How do they find food?
A fun thing to do if you have lots of grass is to design and make an ant's playground. Use only natural things like leaves and sticks to create it. Take a photograph for your book and maybe write down how you made it. . Year two. you may like to design it first.
Enjoy being outside and be good , make your parents proud.
Look out for Friday's blog of jobs!
