Home Learning Wednesday 27th January 2021

Good morning Year 4.  I hope you are all safe and well, and have got yourselves into a routine with your Home Learning.  Keep working hard and doing your best and make sure you thank anyone at home who helps you too.   Thank you for posting your super learning on Seesaw, it is fantastic to see what you have been doing at home and some of your posts really bring a smile to my face.

Reading

Please read out loud to someone at home for 20 minutes.  Make sure you discuss what has happened in the chapter / story so far.

Can you describe a setting in your book? Describe it in detail to someone else, or draw a picture of what it looks like.

 

Spelling

These are your new spellings which will be tested on Thursday 28th January 2021.  They all have the prefix inter.  A PREFIX is a group of letters that change the meaning of a word when they are added to the START. Inter means ‘amongst’ or ‘during’.

interact         international          intercity      interlink

interview       intermediate         internet       interface

intercept       interchange           intercom      interfere    

Write the long date Wednesday 27th January 2021

Use look, cover, write, check to practise your spellings. Write each word out three times using this strategy.

 

English

Last week we started our novel Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. 

Today, please re-read / listen again to Chapter 2 of Kensuke’s Kingdom. A copy of the book is attached to the blog and a link to the audio is below. 

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

Then, please listen to the start of Chapter 3. A video / audio will be uploaded to Seesaw on Wednesday morning.  If you wish to read the story instead, please read Chapter 3 up to the end of the October 11th log on pg 29, and no further.

Write the long date Wednesday 27th January 2021

Write the learning objective Can I plan an informal letter?

Tomorrow you are going to write a letter, as Michael, to your best friend Eddie.  Today, you are going to plan the letter.  You will need to use information from Chapter 2, as well as the first part of Chapter 3 (which you should have read or listened to).

An example of an informal letter (called Example informal letter) has been attached to the blog to help you recognise the features.  You may want to print it out and underline or highlight the features. Informal letters are written to people we know well, like friends and family.

Use the planning sheet (called Letter planning sheet) attached to the blog to help you organise your letter into paragraphs. Either print the sheet off and fill it in, or write a plan straight into your Home Learning Book. Just make bullet points or notes to help you with your ideas as you will write full sentences in your letter tomorrow.

Please share your work on Seesaw

 

Times tables

Following on from last week’s learning, please practise your 11 and 12 times tables on Sumdog (a challenge has been set).

Please practise your own tables target using Hit the button. If you are on ‘free’ tables, please practise a times table or division fact which you know you find tricky.  If you are in school next week, you will be tested on your individual target on Thursday 28th January 2021 – if you are on ‘free’ tables, you will be tested on ÷9.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

 

Counting

Count in 50’s from 2850 to 3500 and back again.  Count in 50’s from 40 to 890 and back again.  Write the numbers down if this helps! Think about what you found tricky. What patterns did you notice?

Please count in 12’s from 12 to 144 and back again – can you go any further? (if you get stuck, add 10 then 2 onto your last number if counting up, or subtract 10 then 2 if counting down). Write the numbers down as you say them - do you notice any patterns?

Eg 12 24 36       36 + 10 = 46 + 2 = 48       60     etc

 

Maths

Use the link below – to play Daily 10.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Repeat the addition games you played yesterday but choose a shorter time between the questions.  For example, if you chose 10 seconds between each question yesterday, choose 7 seconds today etc.

Click on play game. Choose level 3, addition, 3 digit numbers + ones.  Choose the time interval between each question eg 3 seconds, 5 seconds etc.  You will need to write the answers down and check them at the end.

Choose level 3, addition, 3 digit numbers + tens, choose a time interval and play again.

 

This week, we are going to revise and learn new mental multiplication strategies.

  1. You need to be able to multiply accurately by 10 and 100 and understand what happens to the digits and why.

Ahhhhh Tiiiiiisuuuueeee

time.

 

Spellings

The spellings for this week are homophones (words with the same sound but different spelling).

  • Try to complete the Sumdog spelling challenge before Friday so you can practise hearing the words in the sentences to help you know which spelling it is.

 

Writing task

Can I experiment with verb and adjective openers?

Read chapter 17

Watch the video sent through Seesaw.

You will need the Verb and Adjective sheet at the bottom of this blog.

Music

Follow this link Body Percussion - Part 2, to Oak National Academy.

 

French

We were doing really well with our French phonics so here’s a video to watch first to practise some sounds.

Key French sounds

This week, we are learning weather vocabulary. Here’s a song to start.

Weather vocabulary song

Quel temps fait-il? means what’s the weather like? Aujourd’hui means today.

Hopefully by the end of the lesson you will remember the phrases in the song.

Click on this link and download Lesson 3 with audio – describing the weather.

To describe a variety of weather phrases in the present tense

You will find it easier to do slide 4 before slide 3.

Slide 5 is true or false: Vrai ou faux (vray oo fau, silent x)

Now write the date in your book and the learning objective:

Can I describe the weather in French?

Choose 8 of the weather phrases from slide 3 and draw a weather symbol to go with it.

Then write this question and answer it.

Quel temps fait-il aujourd’hui? Aujourd’hui, ………

Here’s another song to finish.

Quel temps fait il?

Merci beaucoup. A la semaine prochaine.

 

RE

Can I describe what life would be like if we followed St Paul’s words?

 

The Bible contains different styles of writing. The New Testament contains lots of letters.

 

St Paul was a prolific letter writer. He wrote letters to many of the early Christian communities before, and sometimes after, he visited them e.g. Rome, Corinth, Galatia, Ephesus, Philippi and Colossae. He wrote to explain his understanding of the Christian faith.

One of them was from ‘1 Corinthians 13: 4-7’ where Paul writes about the power of love:

 

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not become angry easily. Love does not remember wrongs done against it. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices over the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always continues strong.

This video may help in understanding this letter from St Paul, 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7it actually begins at 3.00 minutes

 

If this passage was taken seriously by world leaders, or people in your town/village, or in your class, what would life be like?

 

Your task: To write a paragraph or two of the answers to these questions:

  • What would you class be like if this was taken seriously? Would things change? Give me an example.
  • What would your village/town be like if this was taken seriously? Give me an example. How would that change make you feel?
  • What if world leaders took this seriously? What would the world be like? How would everyone feel?

Year 3 Home Learning 27th January 2021

Date: 26th Jan 2021 @ 3:33pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you have had a nice day today, in school we really enjoyed describing the Prime Minister’s house and we enjoyed our Art and Geography this afternoon. We are getting really good with our 8x tables as we practise every day!

Well done for the work you have done, I have been very impressed with what I have seen on Seesaw.

If you are finding any of your work tricky you can:

  • Draw things to help you in Maths like base 10.
  • Use things in your house to help with Maths like coins, counters, toys.
  • Write out the times tables you need for an activity before starting it.
  • Write down your working out.
  • Use books and the internet for ideas.
  • Discuss your work with people at home when they are not busy.
  • Contact the school for support.

 

Reminders

Please keep sending me your work on Seesaw – I am so proud of you for the work I have seen so far.  Today I would like you to send me a photo of your maths work including your working out (the grids).  

Remember to bring your home learning book into school if you are coming in on some days.

You can change your school reading books whenever you need to, just let the school office know beforehand so we can get some books ready for you to collect.

Don’t forget to go on Sumdog. 22 of you have been on the grammar and spelling challenge, still only one person has completed it so far, well done to you. 17 of you have been on the related facts challenge and 3 of you have already completed it. Well done.

 

Things that made me smile on Tuesday (you could write your own list too)

  • We listened to beach waves sounds and a song called Copacabana while we did our art work – I enjoyed that.
  • I watched a TV programme with my breakfast called Countdown. You get 9 letters and have to make words out of them, I managed to make a word which was 8 letters long so was very pleased with myself.

 

Wednesday 27th January 2021

 

Reading

Please read out loud to somebody for 20 minutes.

Predict what you think is going to happen next and talk to somebody at home about it.

 

Spelling

Here are your spellings for this week. They are homophones. Homophones are words which sound the same but have different meanings or spellings. Some are near homophones which means they have slightly different pronunciation.

quiet, quite, bare, bear, sun, son, new, knew, night, knight

 

Write the long date: Wednesday 27th January 2021

Write the title: Spelling Sentences

Choose 3 of the spelling words and write your own sentences using them. It is probably a good idea to choose the spellings you find most tricky.

 

Writing:

Read pages 208 – 216 of Mr Stink which are attached to this blog. This chapter is a nice one as Chloe and Annabelle spend some time together.    

Mrs Winter has recorded some of the pages and put them on Seesaw for you to listen to – what a treat!

 

 Long date: Wednesday 27th January 2021

Title – Can I use conjunctions and exciting vocabulary?

I would like you to write some sentences about this chapter using conjunctions. Also, try to use some of the good words from the book like zoomed, honoured, announced, vagrant, hissed, fantasies, unexpectedly, nervously, slowly.

 

Please write at least 3 sentences with the conjunction in the middle, like this:

Mr Stink sat on an upturned plant pot while the girls put pink glittery blusher on his cheeks.

 

Please write at least 3 sentences starting with a conjunction, you will need a comma for these ones where you pause.

After the vagrant had given his speech, he rolled up the grubby toilet roll and put it back in his pocket.

 

Conjunctions: because, after, when, while, before, even though, despite, though, so, if.

 

Remember:

Perfect spelling

Capital letters and full stops

Beautiful handwriting

Maths

Watch the video sent on Seesaw to help you with your maths. The video will remind you of the method we use in school to multiply a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number. We have done it before.

After watching the video, have a go at the questions on the worksheet – using the grid method from the video.

There are some challenge questions on the worksheet – you don’t have to do these but you can if you would like, the work you did on Tuesday might also help you.

Finally, use the answer sheet to check your answers.

Please send me a picture of your answers and working out on Seesaw.

 

RE

In RE we have been looking at journeys and the church’s year – the Liturgical Calendar.

The Liturgical Calendar helps people to be close to God and Jesus as everyone celebrates the same things throughout the year, such as the birth of Jesus at Christmas and Jesus’ sacrifices for us at Lent and Easter. These celebrations remind us to love and serve God.

Write the long date: Wednesday 27th January 2021

Write the title: Can I describe ways I love and serve God?

Make a list and draw pictures of ways that you love and serve God. Think about how you live in a way that God would want and things you do that make you a good person.

Here are some examples:

  • I make sure that I am kind to everybody I meet, even if it is just by giving them a smile.
  • I say a prayer at lunch time to thank God that I have food, water and shelter. I know that I am lucky as there are people in the world without food and water.

Date: 26th Jan 2021 @ 3:18pm

Hello Year 2.

 

Why not help mum and dad with some chores around the house. Make your bed or cook a meal (with supervision). Get creative at some point today and draw a picture that makes you smile.

 

Start your day with a fun game! Keep a balloon up in the air together, taking turns to hit it back and forwards using hands, feet or heads. Set up an obstacle course in the garden/sitting room/hallway.

 

If you need any reading books, please let us know and we will arrange for some books to be collected from the school office.

 

We will explain the structure on here each day but please refer to the additional uploaded documents for each specific lesson guidance and resources.

Riddle of the day

Where can you find cities, towns, shops, and streets but no people?

Talk to an adult and send us your answers on Seesaw.

Tuesday’s riddle answer - Congratulations to those children who said a towel.

 

Reading

It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.

 

Write, or draw pictures, from anything you’ve read! Big writing and pictures are even more fun. For example, use an old roll of wallpaper to make a treasure map with clues from the stories you’ve read together.

We will also cover some new areas of multiplication and division too.

 

Can I make equal groups by grouping?

Today we are going to look at making equal groups by grouping objects together.

We have uploaded an additional document named 'CHALLENGE'. This is only intended as extension work to challenge and push your learning. You are not required to complete this sheet. The WhiteRose sheet is more than enough.

Sumdog

Sumdog can be played from home, as well as in the classroom. To log in from home, students use the same details as they do in class.

Log in at www.sumdog.com

Additionally, students can access Sumdog via the app, which are free to download and play. In both cases, they'll need an internet connection.

Sumdog challenges

Multiplication –  x2, x3, x5 and x10 tables

Maths –  Multiplication and Division

Spellings – Adjectives with the suffix -ful and -less

English

Please see the attached English lesson for more details.

 

Phonics and Spelling

Phonics play have made their website free to use throughout January. Login -> select the resources tab -> select phase 6 phonics and have a play!

You may log in with the following details:

username: jan21

password: home

 

This week we will be looking at adjectives with the suffix -full and -less.

 

Adjectives are describing words. Adjectives describe nouns.

You can make your own adjectives, by adding suffixes onto nouns or verbs.

A suffix is a group of letters that we can add onto the end of another word.

The suffix then changes the meaning of the word.

In this worksheet, you are going to add the suffix -ful and the suffix -less.

 

-ful means full of.

Tom's thumb gave him a lot of pain

Tom had a painful thumb.

 

-less means without.

The painter didn't care.

The painter was careless.

 

Please see attached worksheet. Someone has removed all of the adjectives ending with the suffixes -ful and -less from the sentences. Read each sentence and decide if the missing word ends in -ful or

-less. Write the missing word in the space.

 

Computing

This term we are looking at coding in Computing. On the additional documents you will find your child’s individual login for the programme we use. The website is called Code.org. It should work on your tablets. If you do not have one, school will be happy to loan one out to you whilst you are off.  Once your child has their unique login, they will be able to access the programme on code.org by following the instructions on the document.

  • Each child will have the same 6 letter section code – FMSQGM, they will then search for their name, choose their secret picture and then press the sign in button.

 

Today, please complete the following lesson:

-              Course B (2020)

-              Complete Lesson 6 – Getting Loopy

As we start to write longer and more interesting programs, our code often contains a lot of repetition. In this lesson, students will learn about how loops can be used to more easily communicate instructions that have a lot of repetition by looking at the repeated patterns of movement in a dance.

Please only complete the lessons stated above.

 

Additional activities – Calm Art Project

This project offers space to notice and explore these feelings. The four creative activities encourage children to spot, settle, soothe and share their worries so these feelings do not become overwhelming. By doing this children can be helped to feel calm. Please see the attached document and send us any work on Seesaw.

 

We are already halfway through the week. Keep up the hard work.

Reading

Please keep reading everyday, it really is the key to all your learning. We changed lots of your reading books last week - just pop in if you need some new ones.

For your reading challenge today think about some of the vocabulary in your reading book. Pick out some words and explain them, think of some other words which mean the same.

Phonics

Today we are looking at the long U in uniform. Open the Acorn adventures game here (Login - Jan21, Password - Home) and listen for the long and short U sounds. Split your page in half, Long/Short vowel sounds, and write the words on each side, just like in the game.

Can you use the long U words you have found to write 3 sentences? Try not to start your sentence with I. 

eg. Instead of I wore my school uniform, try, Yesterday, The little girl put on her school uniform.

English

Today we are thinking about a treasure island. Have a look at some examples on the sheet.Talk about all the features of an island.What will be on your island?

You are going to draw a map of a treasure island showing where the treasure is buried. X marks the spot. Draw your map on the sheet and label all the features. 

Upload your island to Seesaw.

You might want to make your superhero a fruit or a vegetable. (Optional)

 

 

Reading – Can I write out one of the sentences from any of my story books at home?

Chop it up and try to put it back in the right order. (See the seesaw video for an example of this)

Try to read for 10 minutes each day. 😊

For extra reading you can access Oxford Owl (optional).

 

 

Maths – Can I count in 2s? 

Can I have a go at doubling my numbers?

When we double something, we add together the same amounts

Using any practical equipment have a go at finding out the answers to these doubles.

Double 1 (1 + 1) =

Double 2 (2 + 2) =

Double 3 (3 + 3) =

Double 4 (4 + 4) =

Double 5 (5 + 5) =

 

Today’s learning is all about comparing lengths.

Watch the White Rose Maths video and have a go at the activity attached below. (You will need some playdough to make snakes.)

 

 

Topic Time

Understanding the World – Understanding the difference between hot and cold.

Have a watch of lesson 1 of the Oak National Academy lesson. Try out the experiment with a grown up. What did you notice?

 

French - Can I name some vegetables in French?

Try the vegetable song

These are the actions to help you.

The vegetables are having fun in the fields at night! The potato is jumping up and down (so we jump!), the salsify is making himself small (crouch down), a gherkin is spinning round (turn round) and the cauliflowers are having a good shimmy (give it your best!)

Can I remember the vegetable words? - Please repeat the words as they are given.

French Game

Attached are 6 vegetable pictures. Print and cut them up (or draw them) and hide them round the room.

When your child finds one, they should try to give the word in French.

Then hide them for you!

The idea is just to keep saying the words over and over again.

Merci beaucoup. A la semaine prochaine! See you next week.

HOME LEARNING Tuesday 26th January 2021

Date: 25th Jan 2021 @ 4:48pm

Year 4

Home Learning Tuesday 26th January 2021

Good morning Year 4.  I hope you managed to complete your Home Learning yesterday. Try not to worry if you don’t manage to finish everything in one day, sometimes things may take a bit longer.

It is important that you continue to work hard, both recapping and practising previous learning, as well as learning new things. Keep posting all your fabulous work on Seesaw, I’ve enjoyed seeing the little messages you have sent too – thank you, they really brighten my day.

Reading

Please read out loud to someone at home for 20 minutes.  Make sure you discuss what has happened in the chapter / story so far.

Summarise what you have read in no more than 100 spoken words.  Get someone to count the words as you speak.

 

Spelling

These are your new spellings which will be tested on Thursday 28th January 2021.  They all have the prefix inter.  A PREFIX is a group of letters that change the meaning of a word when they are added to the START. Inter means ‘amongst’ or ‘during’.

interact         international          intercity      interlink

interview       intermediate         internet       interface

intercept       interchange           intercom      interfere    

Write the long date Tuesday 26th January 2021

Write each of the words in your book in different coloured shapes like you did yesterday. Can you remember which shape and colour you used for which word?

English

Last week we started our novel Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. 

Today, please read / listen to Chapter 2 of Kensuke’s Kingdom. A copy of the book is attached to the blog and a link to the audio is below. 

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

Whilst reading or listening to the story, look up any words if you are unsure about their meaning.  Write the word and the definition in your Home Learning book.

Open the document called ‘Character description instructions’.  This will give you the information you need to carry out today’s lesson.

Write the long date Tuesday 26th January 2021

Write the learning objective Can I write a character description of Michael?

  1. Read the document called ‘Character description instructions’ attached to the blog.
  2. Print page 2 and label the picture with a description of Michael’s character using information from Chapters 1 and 2. (Alternatively, draw a picture of Michael in the middle of your page).  Remember to use evidence from the text, his personality may be clearly stated or may be hinted at from what is written.
  3. Piece these ideas together and write a character description of Michael explaining what his personality is like and how you know this.  Remember to use different sentence openers! You should aim to write at least 2 excellent paragraphs about Michael’s character.

Focus on capital letters, punctuation, beautiful handwriting and using different sentence openers.

Please share your work on Seesaw

 

Times tables

Following on from last week’s learning, please practise your 11 and 12 times tables on Sumdog (a challenge has been set).

Please practise your own tables target using Hit the button. If you are on ‘free’ tables, please practise a times table or division fact which you know you find tricky.  If you are in school next week, you will be tested on your individual target on Thursday 28th January 2021 – if you are on ‘free’ tables, you will be tested on ÷9.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

 

Counting

Count in 50’s from 900 to 2100 and back again.  Count in 50’s from 6550 to 7850 and back again.  Think about what you found tricky

Please count in 11’s from 111 to 232 and back again – can you go any further? (If you get stuck, add 10 then 1 onto your last number if counting up or subtract 10 then 1 if counting down). Write the numbers down as you say them - do you notice any patterns?

Eg 111 222   222 add 10 = 232 + 1 = 233     etc

 

Maths

Use the link below – to play Daily 10.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

Click on play game. Choose level 3, addition, 3 digit numbers + ones.  Choose the time interval between each question eg 3 seconds, 5 seconds etc.  You will need to write the answers down and check them at the end.

Choose level 3, addition, 3 digit numbers + tens, choose a time interval and play again.

 

In order to keep practising our mental maths strategies, our lesson today will involve completing an Arithmetic test – you will be familiar with these from class.  Please make sure you have everything you need before your start:

  • A pencil and a ruler
  • Your Home Learning book OR a printed copy of the Arithmetic test (attached to the blog)
  • A 20 minute timer
  • The arithmetic answers (to check your answers afterwards! These are attached to the blog)

Please make sure you make jottings / show your working out – this is so important and the most confident mathematicians do this.  Try and complete the test independently and go through the answers carefully when you have finished. It doesn’t matter if you get an answer wrong, the most important thing is to work out why you made that mistake. If you’ve made jottings this may help in finding out where you made the error.

Before you start the test, please watch the video on Seesaw which will explain a few strategies. This will be uploaded on Tuesday morning.

Good luck!

Post your answers on Seesaw so I can see how you got on!

 

Check your answers from yesterday’s arrays lesson in the document ‘Answers Using arrays’ attached to the blog.

 

Please remember to log onto Sumdog to consolidate your learning about arrays.

 

French

We were doing really well with our French phonics so here’s a video to watch first to practise some sounds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkR7BTicoxc

Now click this link and download lesson 14 with audio.

http://www.rachelhawkes.com/Resources/Y4_French/Yr4SpringFr.php

We will recap the shapes and colours that we learnt last week and move on to look at the work of a French artist called Matisse. Click on the sound buttons to hear the teacher say the phrases and repeat after her. A key phrase today is’ Il y a…’  there is …. And there are new words for different kinds of lines. Work through the PowerPoint. The instructions are underneath each slide.

In your book, write the date mardi vingt-six fevrier

Write the learning objective Can I research some facts about Henri Matisse?

Using these two websites, can you write some interesting facts about Henri Matisse and his work? You might like to copy a part of one of his works.

https://www.ducksters.com/biography/artists/henri_matisse.php  - good for facts

https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/explore/who-is/who-henri-matisse   - good for pictures.

 

Well done year 4. Soon we will be doing a piece of art inspired by Matisse and describing it in French!

Year 6 Home Learning - Tuesday 26th January 2021

Date: 25th Jan 2021 @ 3:25pm

Tuesday 26th January 2021

 

Good morning Year 6. Welcome to Tuesday. I hope you are all well and safe and into a good routine with the tasks you need to complete each day. I have kept every Monday the same as Monday, Tuesday the same as Tuesday, and so on, which should help you in structuring your day for when you read, complete the Maths and English and any other after lunch tasks. Keep sending me your work through Seesaw: you have no idea how much it brings a smile to my face.

Here are the final tasks of the week:

 

Reading

Read for 30 minutes. Keep building up that stamina. It is so important that you keep this your number one priority.  

Reading activity for today:

  • Draw a picture of your favourite part of the book and write a sentence about what is happening.

 

English (split into three parts: Handwriting, Spellings and Writing)

Handwriting

Every day this week we are going to focus on our number 1 class target, Handwriting, which must be joined. Each day, I will give you a poem to copy in your neatest handwriting. This week focus on having clear spaces between your words.

Skip

One skip

Two skip

Spellings

There is a spelling file attached at the bottom of this blog which covers the spellings for this week, -homophones (words with same sound but different spelling).

  • For each ‘pair’ of words (aloud and allowed) write a sentence to include them both.

 

Writing task

Can I write a recount of Hatty’s fall, as Abel?

See the Seesaw video which explains how to complete this task. Make sure you use the notes from yesterday’s lesson to piece together a recount following these bullet points and write:

  • The backstory of what you (Abel) know about Tom
  • The event of Hatty’s fall
  • You (Abel) cross with Tom and speaking to him for the first time

(I will explain this in detail in the video)

 

MathsAddition Week

  1. Warm up your brain: Counting forward in 15s.

125, 750, 1420, 500, 335

  1. Sumdog – two challenges (both with 200 answer targets for this week):
    1. Mix of 6 and 8 times tables
    2. Add / subtract within 10 000 (this will show quite a few column addition and subtraction questions which will help you throughout the week’s learning).
  2. Main lesson. The objective for today is:
    1. Can I use the column method to add up to 5 digit to 5 digit numbers?

See the video sent on Seesaw which explains the activities for today’s Maths lesson. Complete the Column addition questions and answers sheet.

  1. Maths challenge – is attached to the same sheet which I explain in the video.

 

Science

Can I research the characteristics that make a plant adapted to its environment?

We have learnt so far that adaptations are characteristics that help living things survive. Plants live in all kind of habitats in the world from the Arctic to the desert and everywhere in between. A plant from the rainforest would not survive in the desert – each is adapted to the environment in which it lives.

 

Look at the image of a cactus attached below, or a real cactus if you have one at home.

Copy the labelled diagram of a cactus into your book or print out the Labelled Cactus sheet

How do these adaptations enable it to live in a desert? Read this text to find out:

 

 

Adaptations

An adaptation is anything that helps a living thing survive and make more of its own kind. Cacti have many adaptations for living in places that are sometimes dry for a long time. At other times these places can get lots of rain.

Cacti can have many small, thin roots near the top of the soil. These roots take in water quickly after a rain. The same cactus may have one long, thick root called a taproot. The taproot grows deep in the soil. It can reach water when the soil on top is dry.

Cacti store water in thick stems. The stems are covered with tough skin, and the skin is covered with wax. The pleats help the skin expand to store water after it has rained. The thick waxy skin slows down loss of water by evaporation in the hot, dry climate. The leaves of cacti are sharp spines (thorns or needles). Many animals want the water inside the cactus, but the sharp spines and thick skin protect the cactus and stop animals from damaging the plant.

 

Now explain in your own words how each of the cacti’s adaptations help it survive in the desert.

 

Next, watch this video about a Sundew plant.

Sundew plant

Draw and label a Sundew plant using the vocabulary in the video.

 

Now use the words below to explain its adaptations.  You will need to put them into sentences!

 

Sundew      carnivorous      habitat             bog      poor soil         secrete sticky substance          Digestive enzymes     prey          dissolve             nutrients        unfurl               exoskeleton      

 

You have researched two very different types of plants which live in very different habitats.

Put the subheading What I have learnt

Can you summarise your learning today by explaining how adaptations help plants survive and what would happen to those species that are not well adapted?

Well done! I would love to see your work on seesaw!

 

Year 3 Home Learning 26th January 2021

Date: 25th Jan 2021 @ 3:25pm

Good morning Year 3. I hope you had a happy Monday and enjoyed some snow as well as your learning. 

Well done for the work you have done, I have been very impressed with what I have seen on Seesaw.

We enjoyed the beautiful weather in school and played in the snow at play time and lunch time. We found the maths quite tricky, it was much easier when we wrote out our times tables and remembered to write our answers above each part of the question. Rushing did not work.

If you are finding any of your work tricky you can:

  • Draw things to help you in Maths like base 10.
  • Use things in your house to help with Maths like coins, counters, toys.
  • Write out the times tables you need for an activity before starting it.
  • Write down your working out.
  • Use books and the internet for ideas.
  • Discuss your work with people at home when they are not busy.
  • Contact the school for support.

 

Reminders

Please keep sending me your work on Seesaw – I am so proud of you for the work I have seen so far.  Today I would like you to send me a photo of your Geography and Art, please put the two pieces of Art from Monday and Tuesday next to each other so I can see how different they are.

Remember to bring your home learning book into school if you are coming in on some days.

You can change your school reading books whenever you need to, just let the school office know beforehand so we can get some books ready for you to collect.

Don’t forget to go on Sumdog. 7 of you have been on the grammar and spelling challenge, one of you has already completed it, wow. 6 of you have been on the related facts challenge and 1 of you has already completed it. Well done.

 

Things that made me smile on Monday (you could write your own list too)

  • The beautiful weather.
  • The snowmen the children in school made at play time.
  • Your amazing art work that you sent me on Seesaw – so bright and colourful.

 

Tuesday 26th January 2021

 

Reading

Please read out loud to somebody for 20 minutes.

Tell somebody at home everything you know about one of the characters.

 

Spelling

Here are your spellings for this week. They are homophones. Homophones are words which sound the same but have different meanings or spellings. Some are near homophones which means they have slightly different pronunciation.

quiet, quite, bare, bear, sun, son, new, knew, night, knight

 

Write the long date: Tuesday 26th January 2021

Write the title: Homophones Sentences

Copy the sentences and fill in the gap with the correct spelling.

Handwriting

Follow the video on Seesaw to practise your handwriting.

 

 

Writing:

Read pages 201 - 208 of Mr Stink. They are attached to this blog. Some parts are written in capital letters. This is because the characters are shouting, see if somebody at home can read this bit out loud with you.  

 

Long date: Tuesday 26th January 2021

Title – Can I use adjectives?

Today you are going to write a description of the Prime Minister’s house, Number Ten Downing Street. Try to use lots of adjectives to describe the house. I have attached some photos and good words on the same PowerPoint as the Mr Stink pages. Some of these are not really Ten Downing Street, but might help you to come up with some ideas.

Paragraph 1 – Talk about the outside.

You could start with: 

As Mr Stink and Chloe stepped out of the limousine, they looked in front of them at Number Ten Downing Street.

 

Paragraph 2 – Talk about the room where they have tea.

You could start with:

They were led through a never-ending corridor and taken into a huge dining room with shiny golden walls.

 

Paragraph 3 – Talk about the bathroom.

You could start with:

Mr Stink had eaten egg sandwiches before setting off, you know what that means. He needed to go to the toilet. It was just as fancy as he expected it to be.

 

Remember:

Perfect spelling

Capital letters and full stops

Beautiful handwriting

 

Make it even better by:

Adding a simile

Adding a question

Adding an exclamation mark

Starting a sentence with a conjunction

 

Times tables

Play on Hit The Button three times.

Practise the 8x tables.

Try to improve your score each time – my record is 36/36.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

 

Sumdog

Go on Sumdog and complete the following challenges:

  • Related Facts Challenge: 25th January – 31st January
  • Grammar and Spelling Challenge: 25th January – 31st January

 

Counting

Count out loud in 5s:

Complete the worksheet and use the answer sheet to check when you have finished.

Write out your times tables to help you with any tricky questions.

 

Geography and Art

Below is the link to a video about a favela in Rocinha, Brazil. A favela is a slum on the outskirts of a large city. Normally lots of people who don’t have a lot of money live in a favela.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zgp4d2p

I have attached some pictures to this blog of the favela. I would like you to create your own piece of art showing the favela. This time, you are not going to use colour – it is going to be black and white. This is to show how different life is for the people who live by Copacabana Beach compared to the people who live in the favela. They live in the same city but have very different lives.

  1. Draw your buildings, remember there are lots of them close together and they are on a hill.
  2. Draw the trees and hills.
  3. Use newspaper scraps to fill in the picture. Tear strips off and use them to fill in the buildings.
  4. Or if you would prefer, colour in black and white. You can do patterns like Romero Britto if you want to, but only in black, grey and white this time.

Year 2 Home Learning - 26th January 2021

Date: 25th Jan 2021 @ 3:13pm

Good morning Year 2,

 

We hope yesterday went well. Hopefully you are all in good spirits and working hard for your parents/carers. The weather doesn’t look great this week but you still need to make sure you are staying active and get at least 60 minutes of physical activity in per day. We love to do the Daily Mile at school. Is there anywhere you can go for a run at home?

 

Have a challenge to see who can do the funniest balance on one leg/scrunch up to be the smallest/stretch out to be the tallest.

Join Joe Wicks for one of his daily workouts -  https://www.youtube.com/thebodycoachtv

We will also cover some new areas of multiplication and division too.

 

Can I make equal groups by sharing?

Today we are going to look at making equal groups through sharing different objects.

We have uploaded an additional document named 'CHALLENGE'. This is only intended as extension work to challenge and push your learning. You are not required to complete this sheet. The WhiteRose sheet is more than enough.

Make sure you watch the video carefully and pause to answer questions on the worksheet.

Please follow the link and complete the worksheet attached to the class blog.

This week we will be looking at adjectives with the suffix -full and -less.

 

Adjectives are describing words. Adjectives describe nouns.

You can make your own adjectives, by adding suffixes onto nouns or verbs.

A suffix is a group of letters that we can add onto the end of another word.

The suffix then changes the meaning of the word.

In this worksheet, you are going to add the suffix -ful and the suffix -less.

 

-ful means full of.

Tom's thumb gave him a lot of pain

Tom had a painful thumb.

 

-less means without.

The painter didn't care.

The painter was careless.

 

Watch this introduction to suffixes to help you – suffix video

 

When the word ends in y, we change the y to an i then add -ful or -less.

 

Using the Adding -ful or -ness Word Search, add the correct suffix to each word, then find the new adjective within the word search. Please see attached worksheet.

 

Music

Mrs Winter has kindly sent us a music lesson that we can try our at home.

In this lesson, we will be exploring how to make different sounds using instruments around the house.

Please click on the link for this week’s music lesson.

Exploring different ways to use instruments

 

French

We were doing really well with our French phonics so here’s a video to watch first to practise some sounds.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkR7BTicoxc

Now we are going to move on to learning the names of some farm animals. Watch this video and repeat the words.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pba8564WZ4M

Attached is a sheet with 7 farm animals. Print out the sheet (or do 7 drawings). Hide the pictures round the room. When your child finds one, s/he should give the word in French. Then it’s their turn to hide them!

Here is a song to finish – Old MacDonald had a farm in French. It’s a bit fast so may be better played on 0.75 speed. See if you can pick up the sounds the animals make in French. They’re not all the same! The word used for sheep is une brebis (oon brubee) – a ewe.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDcgM_U22XU

Merci beaucoup. A bientot!

 

Additional activities – Calm Art Project

This project offers space to notice and explore your feelings. The four creative activities encourage children to spot, settle, soothe and share their worries so these feelings do not become overwhelming. By doing this children can be helped to feel calm. Please see the attached document and send us any work on Seesaw.

 

We hope you have a brilliant Tuesday,

 

Year 2 team.

Can I paint them?

Can I use different colours to write them?

(Use paper or the whiteboard from your pack.)

 

Literacy –

Our story this week is Supertato! Have a watch of the story here. 

 

After thinking about the characters yesterday,

Choose your favourite character either Supertato or Evil Pea. (see seesaw for Miss Collinson's Example)

Can I draw the character in my book?

Can I write a sentence describing what my character is like?

Remember to say your sentence out loud, say it and tap your knees, head, cheeks, count how many words are in the sentence. Stretch each word to help you hear the sounds you need.

Try to use your sound mat and have a go at writing without your grown ups help this week. 😊

Reading – It is great that so many of you are ringing the office to collect new books weekly.

It has been lovely to hear some of your reading on seesaw, well done. 

Try to read for 10 minutes each day. 😊

For extra reading you can access Oxford Owl (optional).

 

 

Maths Can I count out loud backwards from 20 to 0? 

Can I remember my number bonds to 10? (see seesaw video for example)

Can I use my ten frames to colour in different ways of making 10? (see maths activity attached for ten frames)

Today’s learning is all about comparing heights.

Watch the White Rose Maths video and have a go at the activity attached below, if you do not have any cubes at home, you can use Lego.

 

 

Topic Time

Technology – Can I make my own Supertato adventure, using your Supertato you made yesterday?

Watch this video for inspiration. Have a go at recording your own.

Today's story is ‘Jolly Snow‘ by Jane Hissey

Year 1 Home Learning Wednesday 27th January 2021

Date: 25th Jan 2021 @ 11:39am

Good morning Year 1 and a big welcome to all your Wednesday learning. We are loving all your pirate stories and we are impressed with all your ideas and pirate vocabulary. It is lovely seeing you all having a good go at your home learning, keep it up. 

Reading

It's brilliant that so many of you are collecting new reading books from school. Keep reading every single day. Today, after reading one of your books have a think and a talk about what happened in the story and when it happened. What happened after …….?  What was the first thing that happened in the story? Can you say in a sentence the opening/middle/end of the story?

Phonics

To warm up, play a game of buried treasure here. Username - Jan21 and Password - Home 

Choose Phase 3 (+oo sound) and Phase 5 (ew or ue sounds)

Visit Seesaw for your Phonics learning today. We will be looking at our split u_e sound and looking carefully to build our words. Watch the video below to remind yourselves of the u_e sound.

English

Sometimes when pirates get stranded on an island the only way they can communicate is by writing a message in a bottle, throw it into the sea and hope that someone finds it.

Watch this video Message in a Bottle

Imagine you are stranded on an island. 

  • Who are you going to write your message to?
  • What will you tell them?
  • Describe where you are, what can you see?
  • How are you feeling?
  • What are you eating and drinking?
  • Is there anyone else there ?

Talk about what you are going to write then write your message. Remember your Think Pinks. 

Maths

Have a look back at the counting videos we've shared (you can find these on view all blogs

Yesterday we found our comparing number sentences a little tricky so today we are going to look back at comparing numbers and using our maths vocabulary.

More than, Fewer than, Greater than, Less than, Greatest and Smallest.

Watch the video on comparing numbers here and complete the worksheet attached. 

Play our Counting caterpillars - Ordering numbers game here to get ready for our learning tomorrow. Start with numbers up to 20, then 50 and 100)

French

This week we are moving on to FARM ANIMALS. Can I name some farm animals in French?

Here’s a song to sing along to start: On the Farm

Here is a video with farm animal words. Repeat the words with the speaker.

Attached is a sheet with 7 farm animals. Print out the sheet (or do 7 drawings). Hide the pictures round the room. When your child finds one, s/he should give the word in French. Then it’s their turn to hide them!

Here is a song to finish – Old MacDonald had a farm in French. It’s a bit fast so may be better played on 0.75 speed. See if you can pick up the sounds the animals make in French. They’re not all the same! The word used for sheep is une brebis (oon brubee) – a ewe.

Merci beaucoup. A bientot!

Music

Last week we really enjoyed exploring pulse and creating our own rhythm patterns. Today we are looking at creating movements to physicalise pulse. Watch the video below and join in with Miss Glover at the Oak Academy.

Year 2 Home Learning - 25th January 2021

Date: 25th Jan 2021 @ 7:36am

Good morning Year 2,

 

We hope you all had a brilliant weekend. We have loved reading all your posts. You have done some amazing work so far and we are very proud. Now it is time to start our home learning again and I’m sure you are all ready to go.

 

Remember, some work will be set on Seesaw this week so please read this post carefully. This can be accessed by logging in and navigating to the family announcements section. We know home learning is very different to school but try your best to stick with it. Try to remain resilient and persevere with all the tasks set. Little and often is always the best policy.

 

Keep going, we are so proud of you all!

 

Hopefully the snow sticks around today. If it does, we have attached a couple of snow experiments to the end of this post for you to try. Enjoy!
