Good morning. Here are your home learning tasks for today. Year one – join me online at 1:00 for your spelling test! Year Two – join me online at 1:15.
Phonics
Reception – today we are learning the tricky words he and she. Can you try to read them for me. They are tricky because they make an ‘ee’ sound but only have one e at the end.
Years One and Two – Today we are continuing to subtract or take away. Use yesterday’s video as a reminder if you need it and then have a go at these questions.
Reception – Lets have a crafty English lesson today. Here are some ideas for you to get crafty with the Wild Things, but which idea will you choose? I’m looking forward to seeing what you create.
Years One and Two – In the story of Where the wild things are, Max and the wild things go on a wild rumpus. Can you tell me what they are doing in each of the images. Please write at least three sentences for each picture making sure you try to use ‘and’ to join sentences together. Don’t forget your capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.
Spellings – years one and two please join me on Teams for your spelling test this afternoon. Bring a pencil and some paper and remember to have your mics off please.
Geography
What is a map and why is it useful?
Whole class – Watch the video below to find out why we need maps.
Today can you create a map of the forest where the wild things lived? Don’t forget that maps aren’t black and white but are coloured in to help identify the differences between land and sea. Years one and two please remember to include a key with your map so I know what your symbols represent.
Reception – sequence the story (either on Word or cut and stick) and have a go at writing something under each picture. You can tell your grown-up your ideas if you want to, then send it back to me so I can see your work.
Good morning. Thank you to those who joined me for Phonics yesterday, it was lovely to see you all. Let’s have a go at joining together on Teams for English today. Reception can you join me at 11:00, Years One and Two at 11:30 please.
If you enjoyed your work out song yesterday morning, you can find more dance videos over at:
Remember you can always access Phonics Play for more phonics fun. Go to phase 5 to play games.
English
Join me on Teams for today’s English lesson. See above for a reminder of times and check your email for your invitation.
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.
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.
Reception and Year One – please draw or make a menorah. You could make one out of playdough or use lego blocks or simply draw and colour one in your book. Can you think of eight things to say thank you for?
Year Two – answer my questions about Hanukkah. Please remember to write in full sentences.
Good morning everyone. Here is your home learning for today. I’ll be calling Teams meetings today for our phonics lessons. Hopefully you will all be able to get online for these and join me and the rest of your class. Reception at 10:00 and Years One and Two at 10:15.
Let’s warm up, Class One style:
and if you’ve still got some extra energy…
Maths
Lets recap some numbers with our old friend Zero Zero Superhero:
Reception: We are continuing to add numbers together today. Have a go at this washing machine addition activity. Can you write the number sentences in your book for me.
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.
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:
Years One and Two: Can you make a Growing and Changing booklet like the one attached? You could get a piece of A4 paper and fold it into four to make a booklet or use two pieces of paper to give you more room. 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.
Good morning Class One – Here are today’s home learning tasks.
Join me for a Scheduled Teams meeting 9.30am for a dough disco to get those fingers ready for work today. Please log-on to Teams and accept your invitation.

Today we will be working on adding numbers together. Work through the winter themed power point on addition. Then complete the addition questions.
Reception: Today you will be using purple mash to create your own images and text to go with the story. Complete the activity I have set.

PHONICS:
Reception:
Revisit some of the phase 2 sounds by playing this game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0rvUHDZM3g
Come and join in with my learning video to find out what today’s new sound is.
Year 1 and 2:
Let’s revisit all the phase 3 and 5 phonemes we have learnt. Click on the link to play speed trials.
Year 1: Read ‘Silver Foil Rocket’ and play the activities. Hopefully this link takes you straight there otherwise you might have to log-in with your oxford owl. Some readers may find it a good idea to split the book, reading half in the morning and half in the afternoon.
Year 2: Read ‘A pony for a day’ and play the activities. Hopefully this link takes you straight there otherwise you might have to log-in with your oxford owl. Some readers may find it a good idea to split the book, reading half in the morning and half in the afternoon.
We are going to be using our online music package ‘Charanga YUMU’ This package contains songs/music to listen to, songs to learn and sing. You can even have a go at singing and performing songs with musical instruments if you have them at home or simply improvising with household objects that make noise.
Please find attached a PDF with login details, scroll down to your child’s name.
Reception: To warm up your brains count to 10 and back down to 0 again. Can you do it whilst jumping?
We are going to be learning about one more and zero today. Start by watching the video.
Now, Can you show me 1 more than 1,2,3,4,and 5. You could either use toys and photograph them or draw blocks. Can you write the number sentence to go with each eg. 1 +1 =2
Year 1 and 2. Today we will continue to add ones using number bonds.
You may need to pause the video to allow for thinking time and writing down calculations and answers. The first part of the video is a warm up followed by the new learning.
I have narrated the slides so you will hear my voice. Once you have opened the power point you need to ‘play’ the slideshow from the beginning by clicking on the slide show icon in the bottom right hand corner which should then play the whole thing automatically. I will show you a picture of where the slide show icon is on dojos. (you don’t need to click on the speaker button that appears on screen). I really hope you are able to access this as it it a clear way for me to explain to the children what to do with examples. Please let me know if you are having any problems.
Reception:
Today we will be looking at a scene from the story ‘Where the wild Things Are’. Please open the power point to find your lesson and instructions.
Year 1 and 2: Today we will be describing a scene from the story ‘Where the wild Things Are’. Please open the power point to find your lesson and instructions.
Now do the phonics activity set for you in purple mash.
Year 1 and 2:
First revisit all of the phase 3 sounds by joining in with the video.
Today we will be comparing the alternative graphemes for the oa phoneme. (All the different spellings of the same sound ‘oa’.
We have the following graphemes:
ow – as in grow oe – Joe oa – road ough – doughnut o-e – stroke o – no
Now complete the two activities I have created in purple mash.
PSHE:
Have a look at the story in the power point. It is a story with no words. Can you tell your family the story? Discuss what is happening in the pictures and talk about how the mouse must be feeling.
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.
