Good morning. Here are your home learning tasks for today.
Lets start by sharing a story. See what happens when Mr Gumpy decides to take his car out for a ride! Listen to it with your grown-up and get them to ask you some questions about the story after you have listened to it.
Phonics
Reception – Today we are looking at reading CVCC words.
Years One/Two – today we are measuring in non-standard units. Remember that whatever you use to measure with, it MUST be the same, you can’t mix objects up!
I would like you to find four objects in your house and measure them using a non-standard unit. These could be bricks, paper clips or tin cans but they must be the same size each time. Estimate, or guess, how long each item will be and then measure your item to see if you are correct. Remember to measure carefully.
Whole class – We are carrying on our Bookfest work today. Yesterday you found out about our special author Mo O’Hara. I learnt lots of interesting facts about her from your research. Watch the videos below to find out what your special Bookfest task is for today.
Here are some more activities to give you some ideas for fun, screen-free things to do this afternoon. Don’t forget to share them with me on Class Dojo!
Good morning everyone. I hope you had a lovely week off from school and are ready for lots more learning with our new Flight topic for this half term? Here is today’s home learning.

Maths
Reception – lets start with a numbers story – How do Dinosaurs count to Ten?
Can you count to ten? Grab some blocks (if you have any) and see if you can make a tower of ten of them. Can you find different sized blocks to make a taller tower, or a shorter tower? How many blocks do you have in different colours? What is the tallest tower you can possibly make? Remember you don’t have to use building blocks but anything that can stack safely on top of each other!
Years One/Two– today we are looking at both length and height. Watch the videos below and then have a go at the worksheets I’ve added. (Bonus dojo points if you can spot the spelling error)!
Whole Class – This week we are going to be starting our Bookfest work that I mentioned last half term. Today we are going to be learning more about our author Mo O’Hara. Use the attached sheet as a template and try to find out more about her using the internet. I wonder if you will find out any interesting facts about her life?
Years One/Two – today I would like you to draw a labelled diagram of a plant and a tree including a detailed picture of the leaf growing on it. Make sure you use the right colours for your illustrations and draw straight lines from each part for your labels.

Make it bright and colourful with a title and illustrations.

Maths
Reception – today, let’s have a go at subtraction, or taking away. This means we make a number smaller (I like to think about eating cakes – I have four cakes and eat one, how many do I have left?). Watch the video and then have a go at my subtraction worksheet. I’ve included some numbers bigger than 5 if you would like a harder challenge today.
Reception – can you sequence the story of Goldilocks today. If you don’t want to print the pictures out you could always copy and draw them in your book and then your grown-up (or you) could write underneath your picture.
Years One/Two – please complete your story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. You should have written up to Goldilocks going upstairs to the bedroom. Year Two – don’t forget to add speech marks when the bears say their words. Double check your story through at the end and make sure you have capital letters, finger spaces and full stops throughout before sending it over for me to read.
Reception – make a rainforest animal to live in the rainforest. What animal will you choose and what will you make it out of? This is your chance to get as creative as you would like. Here’s a powerpoint of rainforest animals to help you out.
Years One/Two – How is the weather in the rainforest different from where we live? Watch the video and then tell me what the weather is like here, then watch the next video and look at what the weather is like in the rainforest. Are they the same? What are the similarities and differences? Can you use some great adjectives to describe the different types of weather/climate?
