27^th April – 1^st May

We hope this finds you all well and that you found the activities set out last week fun – I am especially looking forward to seeing some more of the Super Veggies you have been making on the class blog!

Here are a few suggestion for activities you may want to follow along with this week:

Maths

This is the last week of the free White Rose worksheets linked to their videos. As of next week Mrs Watkin will be ordering any workbooks you may have requested which will contain lessons linked to the White Rose videos if you need extra support. The Ebook link has been sent to you via email.

Receptions Maths is focussed around ‘The Night Pirates’ story which you can hear read by clicking on the link to hear is read by Ellie Harrison on Cbeebies Bedtime stories.

Year 1 looks at the final week of fractions before it moves to the BBC aligned timetable you can see here focussed on Addition and Subtraction.

This weeks NRich is focussed on tunnels and tubes to link to the Night Pirates story for the Reception children and exploring triangle pictures for the Year 1. The Extra challenge cards are on the Maths page for the Year 1’s to see too.

English

Year 1 are also going to trial the Oak Academy materials they are focussed on the story ‘Sam’s Sandwich’ and will share the story and follow questions and quizzes linked to the story, one task each day. They’ll be reviewing a familiar skill of writing a set of instructions following these tasks too. You’ll only need paper and pencil to take part for the lessons too.

Year 1 Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday

There are phonic activities for you all to complete and grammar tasks in your Active Learn account and a spelling quiz on Purple Mash.

Practise handwriting everyday using cursive joins.

Please complete a diary entry for at least one day every week. There is a diary format in your 2Dos. Year 1 children should be writing at least 5 sentences.

Try and do a little reading each day. You can find a selection of on line reading books here.

Science

The activity this week is 'Being a Scientist' by looking for patterns.  Look here on our website.

Topic

We are starting a new topic called ‘What’s under our feet?’  and we will be learning about …. dinosaurs. But before we start I want you to think about what you know already. Do you know anything already about dinosaurs?  Draw some pictures or take a photo of some of your own toy dinosaurs. Then think about what you would like to find out about dinosaurs. Think of a question . Please get an adult to write these down for you and take a photo for the blog. Have a go at this quiz .  

There  some new, higher level Dinosaur books to explore in your Active Learn.

RE

There’s a new lesson on an Islamic Story to look at for RE this week.

Extras

• There’s a new Eco Activity for you to take a look at on our Eco Page, Build a Wild Hide in your garden to watch the local wildlife from.
• I’ve set up a ‘Thank you NHS’ card on Purple Mash to be shared to their #thankyou NHS Display Board and a ‘100 Birthday Card’ for Captain Tom Moore for you to design and share to the Display board set up for him too.
• Why not try this fantastic art idea while the weathers warm and calm? You’ll need to water down the paint a little and play around with the hole you make in the cup, not too big otherwise is runs out too quickly, too small and it’ll create a dot-to-dot!
