Good Morning Children, 

We hope you're all feeling well and enjoyed a relaxing weekend. 

Here is an explanation of your home learning for today. Keep working hard and uploading your work - we love seeing what you've been up to. 

It is Children's Mental Health week this week. This year's theme is 'Express Yourself'.

We know how food and exercise is important for keeping our bodies healthy and looking after our physical health, but how can we also look after our minds and our mental health? Here is a link to a brilliant webiste, where there are lots of videos to watch and activities to complete - https://www.childrensmentalhealthweek.org.uk/ 

Have a lovely day.

Here is a brief overview of today's lessons;

English today will be reading/listening to Journey to the River Sea- ensure you are up to chapter 5. Today we would like you to listen to and make notes on chapters 5 and 6 and then complete the activities outlined on SchoolSpider.

F2 Monday 1st February 2021 Home Learning Tasks, by Miss Ward

Date: 31st Jan 2021 @ 9:58am

Hi F2,

We hope you all had a lovely weekend! We cannot wait to see all of your hard work!

 

Literacy – Alliteration

Listen to the alliteration song - https://www.youtube.com/watch/y-koivS_aho

Alliteration is when we have words that begin with the same letter. E.g. jiggle jelly, brown bear. Can you play a game of eye spy and find things that begin with the same letter?

Choose a letter and write some words of things that begin with that letter. You could even draw a picture too.

How many letters can you complete?

 

Phonics – Consolidation

In Phonics, we are practising our Phase 2 and 3 phonemes:

Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss)

Phase 3 (j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er).

Can you write a sentence using last week’s spellings e.g. all, he, my , into

Go on Phonics Play or Phonics Bloom and complete some of the free blending games.

 

Maths – Doubling

Listen to the My Doggie Double song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqp90ulJiIo&t=50s

Can you make or draw a butterfly and cut some circles out of paper. Then roll a dice and whatever number it lands on can you put the circles on each side of the butterfly’s wings. Can you work out what double of your number is?

e.g. 3 and 3 is 6 (so double 3 is 6)

 

RE: Jesus heals the sick

Listen to the Story of Ben. (Ask an adult to read the story, please see attached)

Can you verbally answer these questions?

How did Ben feel when he was in hospital?

• What did his friends make for him?

• Can anyone think of anything else they did?

• What did Ben think was the best thing they did?

• How can we help people when they are ill?

Listen to the song and join in with the actions. We Believe (Easter Song) - YouTube

Jesus brought the good news of God’s love to everyone. He healed the sick, raised the dead, he fed the hungry and he quickly forgave people who had made wrong choices.

Write a speech bubble of what they think Jesus would say to the sick.

 

Wellbeing Activity: Sing some nursery rhymes with your family.

Home learning Keeping healthy and Growing, by Miss Mclaren

Date: 30th Jan 2021 @ 5:58am

Hi Preschool, we hope you are all doing well.

We miss you lots.

This week and next week we are thinking about Keeping healthy and Growing. 

The book we will be reading this week is The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.

Each day I will be adding the new lesson to this class blog and to Tapestry. Any work you complete please upload to Tapestry and if you are having any problems uploading, please phone the annexe and Mrs McLaren will be happy to talk you through how to upload.

Monday 01.02.21

Todays tasks are to do with phonics and physical development.

We are working on our rhyming today within phonics. 

1

Rhyming pairs In a pairs game, use pictures or objects with names that rhyme.

If you don't have any rhyming cards you could draw them or just find objects or toys that rhyme.

Here are a few simple ones: mug,rug,bug,jug,slug

                                                   cat,bat,rat,hat

                                                  ham, jam, lamb

                                                  hen,pen,ten

                                                   dog,frog,log

Take it in turns to turn two cards over and keep them if the pictures are a rhyming pair.If they are not a rhyming pair, the cards are turned face down again and the other person has a turn.

If playing with objects, split the rhyming objects.Place one of each of the rhyming objects outside the box and the other objects inside the box. Pull one object out at a time and match it to the objects outside of the boxt. Again take it in turns  to match the objects. the person with the most pairs at the end wins. 

Start with a small core set of words that can then be extended. The children need to be familiar with the rhyming word families before they can use them in a game – spend time looking at the pictures/objects and talking about the pairs.

2

Cutting activities. All our children need lots of practice with cutting as it is a very hard skill to master.

Encourage your child to work on their cutting skills, focusing on how they hold their scissors and what hand they hold their scissors in.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDtupoBsp6o

Above just a simple video to help your child learn how to hold scissors proerly and cut.

Different resources you can use to help with their cutting skills is playdough, straws, paper, bread and card.

3

Hide and seek game

Promotes listening and attention and language skills and prepositional language, e.g. on top of, underneath, next to and behind.

Use some of your child’s favourite toys and hide them around the room before your child comes in.

Encourage your child to find the toys, following your instructions e.g. it is underneath something blue. Once they have found all the toys re-set the game focusing on the prepositions they found the hardest.

Allow your child to then hide them and encourage them to use the prepositional language to explain where the toys are.

You could incorporate some rhyming in here too if you are able by placing items that rhyme by each other, e.g. a mug on a rug, a hat on a mat etc.  

4

Well being activity

If you haven’t already, pick up a baking set from our pop up pantry open from 10-11 am and enjoy doing some baking.

Year 3 home learning Friday 29.1.21, by Mrs McAlynn

Date: 29th Jan 2021 @ 10:12am

Good morning everyone! We have reached the end of another busy week and are so proud of all the hard work you have done at home!

Here are your home learning tasks for today- please upload evidence of your work onto school spider so that we can give you feedback.

Maths- we are finishing our week of learning about angles by looking at angles that are larger or smaller than a right angle. What do we call these angles? Log onto school spider to find out more!

English- today is your opportunity to use the checklist to go over the Tanka poem you wrote yesterday and try to edit and improve your work. Are them some words that would be replaced with better adjectives? Are you happy with the order of your lines? Remember that it still needs to follow the Tanka syllable pattern! 5-7-5-7-7

Art- this afternoon we will be pulling together all that we have learnt so far about African masks to design out own mask. Think carefully about the kind of colours you have seen used and the shapes that Artists have used to make different features like the eyes and the mouth.

I hope you have a successful day learning at home children! Pop back onto the youtube channel or the class blog this afternoon when I will be posting another video to tell you about our exciting art work next week.

Don't forget your timestables rockstars- there's not long left to help your class be champions this week!

F2 Friday 29th January 2021 Home Learning Tasks, by Miss Ward

Date: 28th Jan 2021 @ 5:38pm

Hi F2,

Here are your activties for today:

Literacy – Wanted Poster

We are so impressed with the instructions you created yesterday.

We want you to make a wanted poster so Goldilocks can clean up the mess using your instructions. Think about what she looks like and what she did. Can you include that in your poster. You might even want to draw a picture of her too.

Phonics – Consolidation

In Phonics, we are practising our Phase 2 and 3 phonemes:

Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss)

Phase 3 (j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er).

Play sentence substitution: Read the sentence and then swap one of the words in purple to make a new sentence to read.

You can hear a goat. (toad – song – see – coin).

They might meet in the town. (market – summer –we – fish.)

The shop is on the corner. (church – right – shark – boat)

 

Maths – Repeated Patterns

We have been so impressed with your repeated patterns. We thought you might like to make another one but this time with some yummy treats. 

You might have some biscuits (or something alike) at home. Or you could pick up one of the baking packs from school (Annexe building 10am -11am) and make some if you like. We would like to decorate some biscuits or make some of different shapes or colours to create a repeated pattern.

PSED: The squirrels who squabbled.

Before playing the video. Look at the front cover of the book. How do you think the characters are feeling? What does the word squabbled means? What might they ‘squabble’ about?

Watch the video The Squirrels Who Squabbled by Tim Field - YouTube

Think about: What does it mean to share? Do you think the characters were good at staring in the beginning? What did they learn? Do you think it is important to share with your friends? Why?

Can you create a poster showing ways you can share?

 

Wellbeing Activity: Bake some yummy treats with your family. This might help with the maths activity for today.

 

Have fun and remember to post pictures of your work on Tapestry!

Good morning Year 3! Hope you're having a good week! Thank you for all the super work you have uploaded and delivered to school.

Your home learning for today is uploaded on school spider. Your learning tasks today are as follows:

Maths- we are continuing with our work on right angles and will be focusing on clockwise and anti-clockwise turns. We will be exploring some maps using our knowledge of turns.

English- today you will be using what you have learnt so far about Tanka poems to write your own about the Egyptian pyramids! Think carefully about which words you can use to fit the correct syllable count.

History- this week we will be finding out about the Ancient Egyptian ritual of Mummification and why it was such an important part of their belief system. Can your order and explain the steps in the process?

Keep logging on each day to Timestable Rockstars- I wonder which class will win this week's battle?

Hi F2, 

Here are todays activties for you to complete. 

Literacy – Instructions

Look at the picture of the classroom (see attached). Speculate what might have happened to the classroom. Read the letter from Goldilocks to your child. Can you think of instructions to help tidy up the mess that Goldilocks has made?

For example: Pick up the pen. Sort the books. Bin the paper. Get the chair.

Can you write some instructions or words to help tidy the classroom? Remember to use your ‘bossy verbs’ such as ‘put, pick up, get’

Phonics – Consolidation

In Phonics, we are practising our Phase 2 and 3 phonemes:

Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss)

Phase 3 (j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er).

Practise the tricky words – we, me, be. Can you challenge yourself and write them too?

Read together and model blending tricky words and sounds.

We can be rich.        She is in a rush to get it to me.                He had a big shock.

Play a free blending game on Phonics Play. https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources

Maths – Shape Repeated Patterns

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EU1OpHyHnU Join in with the video. Can you work out what shapes come next in the pattern?

Cut out some 2D shapes out of paper. Can you make different repeated patterns? Challenge yourself and use three shapes in a pattern.

Can you count each shape and record how many you have used? e.g. 4 circles, 3 squares.

 

Thematic: Who’s print is this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqBg8Vvvleg Join in with the song all about animal patterns.

Play the hot seat yes or no game. Pretend to be an animal and have an adult ask you some questions about your animal. Remember you can only answer with yes/no. For example: Is it brown? Is it bigger than a tree?

Create a piece of artwork of different animal prints using sponges and other materials around your home. For example: For a snake you might print with bubble wrap.

 

Wellbeing Activity: Draw or paint a picture of everyone in your home with you.
