Geography  

Today’s PE lesson is led by Joe. I hope you’ve been following his daily workouts. Just because it doesn’t say PE on your timetable some days, it doesn’t mean you can’t do his workouts. Although it’s different to Miss Lindsay’s PE lessons, it is important to keep fit and healthy! The best bit is parents can join in too!

The Maths lesson is the daily 10. It’s a 10 minute workout for your brain (you can do more than one throughout the day though). Choose either Level 1 or Level 2. Once you have chosen your level, choose ‘Addition’. After that, choose what you’d like to do. I’d recommend ‘Three one digit numbers’ in level 2 OR ‘Up to 25’ in level 1.

For Geography, I’d like you to draw a map of your road/area. For example, if you live on Trent Road, you could include the shops, the school, houses and other roads.

An example of a map (google maps can help you visualise your street/road)

Tuesday’s learning (31st March)

Tuesday
Maths
https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/mental-maths-train
English
https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page  
Science
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3kZD6rlSLUw

The Maths game allows you to choose the operation you want to practise. Choose addition for today’s learning.

Choose Two-Digit Numbers. (As a warm up, you could practice Bonds to Make 20)

The English link requires an adult to create an account (it is FREE). Once you have an account, choose a book from the library (there are over 100 books to choose from). You can choose your age, the type of book as well as match to your reading band colour.

Some books have play activities for you to practise your comprehension skills. Make sure you read carefully to be able to answer the questions and complete the activities. Remember to skim and scan

The Science activity is a video (watch up to 3:25) that reminds us of the butterfly life cycle. Can you draw the life cycle and make an information poster explaining each part of the cycle? Here is an example to help you:

Enjoy your learning! If the poster takes longer, you can always carry it on tomorrow.

A weekly timetable

  Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday
Friday
AM – 1 PE Maths PE Maths Maths
AM – 2 English English Maths English English
PM RE Science Geography History PE

We have created a timetable for you all to follow each week to help with routine and scheduling. There aren’t specified times for each lesson, as sometimes the Maths lesson may only take 20 minutes whereas the English or Science may last longer, depending on the length of the task.

We hope this helps with your home learning. Well done to you all for working hard on your learning so far and a huge thank you to all parents and carers for supporting children with their work.

I will post websites and ideas for each lesson in time for the following day for you to use. There will be some fun games, creative tasks, writing activities and some active learning that involves getting up and moving.

A list of resources you will need this week: Laptop, Tablet or Computer, pencil, colouring pencils/pens, paper (A4 and/or A3) and trainers.

Keep a look out for the activities and learning for Tuesday. I will post these soon.

Creative writing for the weekend

Look at this picture of the magic tree:

The Magic Tree

Discussion time:

What do you think has caused the destruction all around the tree?

Why has this one tree survived?

If you walked through the portal, what would happen to you? What would you see?

If this portal to another world, would you go through it or stay on Earth, even if you had no idea what could happen?

Writing time:

Imagine you have walked through the portal. What can you see? Describe it using expanded noun phrases and full sentences. Remember to include:

  • Capital letters and full stops
  • Adjectives
  • Adverbs

Challenge:

Could you continue the story?

The tree was all that remained. A lonely figure, it stood there with destruction surrounding it. The bark had begun to peel away, one piece at a time, joining the wreckage of other trees that lay scattered across the scorched earth. This tree was different from the other trees…

Fun in the garden

Make the most of the weather and use your garden space to explore and have fun outside. Here are some ideas:

  • Go on a minibeast hunt – look under leaves, branches and rocks to find different insects.
  • Make a habitat for insects (collect leaves, sticks, grass and build a living space for minibeasts.
  • Draw a map of the garden – could you create a treasure map? Bury or hide something for someone to find using your map.
  • Draw your shadow at different parts of the day (draw it at 10am, 1pm and 4pm – what do you notice?)
  • Play ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf’…you could use a clock to show the time as well as saying it
