Maths

Reception – instead of adding numbers together today to make them bigger, we are going to take them away to make them smaller by finding one less than. Watch this video with your grown-up to help you.

https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/early-subtraction-teaching-children-to-take-away-11809552

So today, could you get a total of 5 objects and take one away. So start with 5 and take one away – how many are left? Repeat these down to 1 less than 1. Grown-ups, if you want to, you could show your child this as a number sentence, i.e. 5-1=4.

Years One and Two – today we are moving on to subtraction or taking away. Remember if you are using a number line, this means you will be jumping backwards when you are using it! Watch the video, then complete the worksheet.

We are going to try to have a live lesson on Teams today for Phonics so Reception please join me at 10:00 and Year One and Two at 10:15. You will need a whiteboard and pen if you have one, if not a pencil and a piece of paper for sentence and word writing! Invitations will be being sent out. If you are still having issues getting online please let me know asap so I can try to resolve any issues. Subsequently if you cannot make the lesson, please tell me so I can send you the work via Class Dojo.

English

We are continuing our work on Where the Wild Things are and today I would like you to design your own wild thing.  Use the sheet attached to help you create a new character for the story – you could paint, collage or draw your creature but they must be coloured in and look finished please. You can make them as wild as you like! Please remember to send me your work so I can see it either on email (g.bickerstaffe@cheswardine.shroshire.sch.uk) or on Class Dojo.

Reception: can you create your wild thing and then write single words to describe it or if you are feeling brave, write a sentence!

Year One and Two: Use the attached sheet to help you to describe your creature. Remember that your sentences MUST start with a capital letter, have finger spaces and end with a full stop. If you can add some adjectives in your writing that would be excellent.

Science

What are the stages of human life?

Do you know what the stages of human life are?  Can you name them? (I’ll give you a clue – there are 5). What are the differences between a baby and a toddler?  Watch this clip from the BBC and with your grown up discuss the similarities and differences between babies and their parents:

Make a front cover and then put the five stages of growing up inside. Add an illustration for each stage and some information about what each stage means – i.e. baby – can only drink milk, cannot walk.

This is about a mouse who looks at all the other animals and thinks that she is useless. When hunters come to the jungle, she realises that it is ‘good to be me!’

Year 1 and 2: Put these statements about the story in the correct order: You can do this verbally, or print them and stick in order or write them out in order. Let me know on dojos how you did it.

  • The animals get caught by hunters. They call for help.
  • At first Mouse thinks she is too useless to help, but frees the animals by chewing through the ropes.
  • Mouse wants to be special like the other animals.
  • When the other animals thank her and offer her anything she wants, she realises that they have already given her everything she wanted by helping her to understand that it really is good to be her.
  • She sees Lion who is a great leader, Gazelle who can run fast and Monkey who can climb. Mouse wishes she were special like them.
  • Mouse hides away, feeling useless and unhappy.

Reception Year 1 and Year 2: I would now like you to think about what makes you special.

Draw a picture of yourself in the middle of the page.

Write all around your picture what makes you special.

I will look forward to seeing how magnificent you are.

How to make Playdough at home.

Hello all.

Playdough is a great resource to have at home for learning and playing not to mention a a fun way to strengthen the muscles of little hands.

We will be suggesting using playdough in our home learning so why not have a go at making some.

Here is a simple recipe to make playdough at home.

Home Learning – 08.01.21

English:

Today we are finally going to read our new story!  Watch using the link below.

Who are the characters in the story? Can you draw and describe them for me?

Reception – draw the characters and write a label i.e. blue, furry, scary.

Year One – draw the characters and write 5 sentences for each one using an adjective to describe, i.e. The monster has green fur.

Year Two – draw the characters and write 5 sentences for each one using an expanded noun phrase to describe, i.e. The monster has fluffy, green fur. Don’t forget to use a comma to separate your adjectives.

 

Phonics:

Reception – Today we are learning the phoneme v. Can you write it in the air? Can you write it on some paper?

https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t-l-53412-phase-three-phonemes-set-6-v-video

Have a go at reading these words:

R fri wk1

Now try to sound and blend these sentences:

R fri wk1 sentences

When you have finished, play a game on Phonics Play.

Year One and Two – we are learning alternative spellings for the ‘igh’ phoneme.

Write out the words below and highlight the ‘igh’ phoneme in each one.

1 and 2 fri wk1

Can you read the sentences below. Sound and blend them if you need to. Can you find the ‘igh’ phonemes?

1 and 2 fri wk1 sentences

When you have finished, play a game on Phonics Play.

Spellings:

From next week we will have an online spellings test through Teams on Friday so here are your words for then:

Year One: here, there, where, friend, school

Year Two: after, again, any, bath, beautiful

Reading:

Reception – log on to Oxford Owl and read Big Feet. Can you draw around the feet of all the people who live in your house? Whose feet are the biggest and whose are the smallest?

Year One – log onto Oxford Owl and read Leek Hotpot and complete the online activities.

Year Two – log onto Oxford Owl and read The Frog Prince and complete the online activities.

Geography:

Year One and Two – We are basing our geography this half term on the book ‘Where the Wild Things Are.’ Today’s key question is, how can we find our way to a place we have never visited?

Once you have watched, or read the story, can you consider: how did Max travel to the island? Create a simple map for Max to follow to get to the Wild Things. Use paper with gridlines or draw your own. Draw your own compass with the four points in the corner of your map so that Max knows he is going the right way. What natural features will Max travel through on his way to the Wild Things? I will look forward to seeing your maps. Please do colour them in too as it makes them look so much clearer when you send them over to me too.

Year Two – Now you have drawn your maps and set the path, can you use your compass directions to write a route for Max to follow?

There is a nice video from the BBC on maps that I’ve added to help you out a little bit more.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/geography-ks1–ks2-maps/zdwhpg8

End of the day.  I’ll schedule a quick Teams call with everyone to see how the week has gone so far.  Reception yours will be at 2:30pm, Year One at 2:45pm and Year Two at 3:00pm. I hope you can all attend as it was lovely to see some of you online today.

Maths:

Reception – can you try to make 5?  How many ways can you make this? Can you use objects or draw shapes to do this?   Remember to use all numbers from 0 to 5.

There are some lovely ideas here if you need some maths inspiration:

http://www.littlestscholars.com/2012/03/ways-to-make-5-and-10rainbows-of-fun.html

Year One and Two – today we are finding and making number bonds. Remember a number bond is a pair of numbers that when added together make a total.  So 1 + 4 = 5, 2 + 3 = 5 and so on.

https://resources.whiterosemaths.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Y1-Spring-Block-1-D2-Find-and-make-number-bonds-2019.pdf

Don’t forget there are Teams meetings scheduled for the end of the day to check how you have all gotten on this week. I hope to see you all then.  Please check your Class Dojos for times.
