Years One and Two: see if you can answer these questions about Ran Tan. Remember that a sentence needs a capital letter, finger spaces between word and a full stop at the end. Try to use the word ‘because’ in your sentences too.
Watch the powerpoint on the Tropical Rainforest. Can you create your own rainforest scene showing which animals live in the different layers. Use a piece of paper placed landscape and create sky and land, remember to add the different sorts of trees needed to create a landscape. Please add colour to make it stand out.

Whole Class – we are carrying on with the story of An Orangutan in my Bedroom.
Reception – today I would like you to draw Rang-Tan, colour and label him. Try to think of some really great adjectives to describe him.
Years One and Two – Orangutans live in Sumatra and Borneo. Can you find out which continent they are in and write a non-fiction report about Orangutans? I need a drawing with a caption, a title, where they come from, what they look like, where they live and an amazing fact to finish. Use the attached template to help you set your work out correctly.
Play the bus game. You could print this off or play it with your toys. How many people are on the bus? Take some off. How many are left? Can you write the number sentence to go along with this?
Jewish families celebrate Purim by making biscuits in the shape of Haman’s hat. These are called Hamnstachen. They look a little like folded jam tarts. For your lesson today, try making some of these at home. I’ll also try to do some too.
Reception – an activity that is popular to celebrate Purim is to create a crown to wear. Your task this afternoon is to create a crown and show me it at our Teams meeting at 2pm. I’m looking forward to seeing your crown and maybe your biscuits too!

Years One and Two – today we are continuing to subtract but this time we are crossing ten which means we will be subtracting a one-digit number from a two-digit number. Remember we can do hard things! You might want to have a number line to help you out. If you don’t have one, please let me know and I can get one ready for you today to collect from school, or you could have a go at making your own which is much more fun!

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.

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.
