Thank you once again for all your emails,
photos and videos, it is lovely to see all the amazing learning the children
have been doing.
Please find below the tasks for next week.
Maths

This week, White Rose are
repeating lessons on measurement that we completed earlier in the
lockdown. We are therefore introducing
money as our topic for this week. This
presentation
covers the lessons from Monday to Thursday and there are some useful videos
for the first two lessons. It would be
helpful if could you have a selection of coins available for children to hold
and play with, so they become more used to handling money.
Monday - Can you recognise and compare British
coins? Worksheet
Tuesday - Can you recognise and compare British bank
notes? Worksheet
Wednesday - Can you count in coins? Worksheet
Thursday - Can you solve problems involving money?
Today’s questions
focus on reasoning and problem solving based on this week’s learning. (The questions can also be found on the
final 2 slides of the presentation)
Friday - Can you complete the Friday Maths
Challenge?
Consolidate this learning
with practical activities, such as:
·
playing
the Toy Shop money game:
·
playing
some of the money games in the homework section on Education City.
·
practising
making different amounts of money using coins and notes.
·
using
wax crayons to make rubbings of different coins
·
counting
assorted coins to work out the total.

Monday - Can you use your story
map to write your own woodland story?
To remind children of the Wild
story, re-watch the video of the author reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9mamhbLZAE. Ask children to use their story map from last
week to write their own woodland story.
Discuss how they could start the story. Wild starts with the line “No one knew
how she came to the woods, but all knew it was right.” Encourage children to go into as much
detail as possible to develop their story.
Can they add descriptions to add interest, e.g. ‘the fox’ becomes
‘the cunning, red fox’?
This activity could be done
as a simple book with a sentence and illustration on each page. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21qi9ZcQVto
Tuesday - Handwriting
These words are taken from the Phase 2 to 5
High Frequency words list.
Write each word 3 times using your best
pre-cursive handwriting.

The school also subscribes to a handwriting
package called Letterjoin,
which you can access at home using these login details.
Wednesday - Can you find and
organise facts about types of bear?
Introduce the idea of
finding out more about one of the animals from the text that is the girl’s
friend. Explain to the children that this
type of writing is called non-fiction, i.e. it is factual rather than made up. This song helps explain the difference
between fiction and non-fiction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFbX-wFPvWo.
We are going to focus on
the bear, who tucks her up on the first page.
Ask children what they already think they know about bears and what
they would like to find out.
If you have a suitable
non-fiction text at home, you could look at the features of a non-fiction
text, e.g.
·
contents
page - shows what’s in the book in number order.
·
index
- in alphabetical order, useful to find specific information.
·
glossary
- alphabetical list of terms used in the book with a definition.
·
photos
with captions
·
heading
and subheadings in different sized fonts.
Divide/fold a piece of
paper into quarters and write the following headings in the four sections:
·
Different
types of bears
·
Where
bears live
·
What
bears eat
·
What
they look like
Model how to make notes
under each heading using bullet points.
Suggested resources:
Online
resources
(a longer programme, but very
informative and enjoyable)
Thursday - Phonics
Play Buried
Treasure and sort the words into real and alien words. Can you read the word and add the sound
buttons too?
Friday - Can you create a fact
file about a bear?
Ask children to pick their favourite type of
bear from those they researched on Wednesday, e.g. a polar bear/brown bear
etc. Revisit facts written about their
chosen bear, including where it lives, what it looks like, what it eats. Can they remember what type of animal bears
are? Ask children to complete the fact
file to share some of their facts.
Encourage them to write in full sentences using capital letters,
finger spaces and full stops. Draw a picture in the box.

Science
|
Can you use your knowledge of
animal body parts to create a new animal?
Look at the Animal
Bodies presentation and discuss how some animal body parts are the
same/different to our bodies, e.g. some animals have tails, gills, wings
etc. As per the slides, ask children
to describe the different animals to a partner and identify the odd one out
in the different groups.
Complete the Bizarre
Beasts activity sheet to create their own animal. Make it colourful!

Can you create a healthy woodland
picnic?

tiny tea party for imaginary woodland creatures. Work with an adult to prepare and make mini
sandwiches and small fruity skewers on cocktail sticks.
Work safely and wash hands thoroughly before handling food.
Alternatively, children could make imaginary
foods using play dough or modelling clay.

Daily Tasks
Phonics - using Letters and Sounds daily live phonics
lessons. Sessions take place Monday-Friday at 10.30am for Year 1 and
at 11am for children who may need a little extra help with their sounds and
blending. Alternatively, to practise
specific sounds, you could use the Alphablocks videos online or select Phonics
Play games, such as Buried Treasure or Acorn Adventures for that sound.
Reading - a book/comic/Bug Club to
develop reading skills. We will allocate extra books on Bug Club
when we notice you are getting low, or you can let us know when you email us.
In
addition, if you are a Lexia user, please continue to use this from home.
