Year One Weekly Tasks: Week 4

Date: 22nd Apr 2020 @ 2:09pm

Hello Children,

We hope you are all well and having lots of fun!

Watch our Rapunzel story again or perhaps find a different version to remind yourselves of the story.  

Activity 1:  In the story Rapunzel's father takes lettuce from the witch's house.  Lettuce grows in the ground so look at other plants or vegetables that grow in the ground,  Watch the videos below and find out what seeds need to grow into plants.

See if you can grow something at home.  Look at how it changes over time.  Use a diary to keep track of the changes it goes through.  

Activity 2:  Role play

Think about the different characters in the story of Rapunzel and have a go at practicing then performing the story to your family members.  You could select some of your toys to play the characters and have a go at changing your voice for the different characters.  Or perhaps you could ask some of the other people in your house to be different characters.  Experiment with different costumes or props to really get into your performance!  

Make sure you video your story to enjoy watching later!

Activity 3:  Maths - Measureing

Rapunzel's hair was very long - Human's hair grows 15cm in a year, this is about the size of a small ruler. Find things around the house that are longer/shorter than 15cm. Use a ruler or a tape measure to precisely measure.  Remember to start from 0. Find out the name of the unit bigger than cm and how many cms it is equal to. Draw some things you would measure using this bigger unit.
