Art

This week we will be looking closely at how Bethan Woollvin created the trees, plants and woodland settings in her simple, beautiful illustrations.

Look at the shapes and lines of each different tree and bush. How has Bethan added detail to show the branches, leaves or bark? Did you notice that her illustrations are mostly in monochrome – black, white and shades of grey – with pops of bright colour here and there?

Now create your own forest of trees and plants in this style! You could use pencils, felt tips, paint or chalk.

You might like to listen to this story also by Bethan Woollvin. Does it inspire you to draw anything else?

MATHS – Money– Recognising Coins Live 9.30am

What do you know about coins?

If possible provide your child with some coins and allow them to discuss what they know about these coins. Ask them questions about how many coins are big and how many are small, how many are heavy, how many are silver and so on. Ask them if they can group the coins. How can they group them? Prompt them to look at the faces with numbers and name them by their markings (1, 2, 5 and so on). Guide them to use the terms pence and pound.

Now have a go at the activity time below. Take turns being the teacher!

Now have a go at the guided practice and then complete pages 119 -121  in your work book.  There is also a fun game you can have a go at here…

Maths Live 9.30am

Making Number Patterns

Have a look at the number chart below.

How many different ways can you figure out the missing numbers on the number chart?                    

Discuss the different ways they have come up with, for example, counting on by one, counting backwards by one, looking at the vertical patterns in the numbers (increasing by 10 every time, the ones remain the same). 

These ideas are shown below in ‘Let’s Learn’.

Now work your way through 2,3 and 4.

Now have a go at the guided practice and the mind workout. Then complete page 17 in your work book.

Maths Challenge (optional task)

Try this number pattern challenge. What numbers go in the _____ ? Now describe the pattern of each to an adult? E.g. for question 1 ‘The pattern is going down in steps of 1’.

Here is the work book page if you don’t have your maths workbook at home

English Live 9.30am

Watch the video of the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Whilst it is playing or afterwards see if you can draw a quick story map.  You could do this on your whiteboard or a piece of paper.  Here is one that someone else has done.

Today we are going to focus on your reading.  Please read one of the Jack and the Beanstalk stories.  

Please read the simple version to an adult and answer the questions at the end of the story.  You can answer these in your red book – you don’t need to copy out the questions just write the answers in a sentence.  

If you are reading blue, green, orange or turquoise books at school then please read the challenging version to an adult.

When you have finished you could draw a picture in the space at the top on the page in your book.

Don’t forget about reading eggs. I can see that lots of you are working hard on these lessons, well done. I have set you all a reading task on reading eggs to be completed by Friday. Your logins are in your pack or you can email the office or us and we can remind you. Good luck.

Good morning everyone. Hope you have all had a nice weekend. Below is our timetable for the week. Look forward to seeing lots of you for our sessions today.

Maths– Finding Out How Much More Live 9.30am

Look at the picture below…

It will help to model the cookies with counters. Investigate different ways to find the answer. Does it help to line up the ones? 

Point out that when finding how much more, we are looking for what is different between the two numbers. Therefore, the unmatched cookies show the difference.

ACTIVITY TIME:

Using a number square is a great way of helping us find more or less than a number. Have a look at the picture below to explain…

Now practice finding more or less than a number. You could use your 100 square from school or use this interactive one.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/paint-the-squares

Ask an adult to click on a number and ask you some questions such as ‘what is one more than 26? 4 more than 32? 2 less than 24?’  you must splat the correct number. 

Now complete the guided practice activity and then do pages 15 -16 in your Workbook. 

Maths Challenge Time!

Now try making the difference between the numbers large.

Here are the workbook pages for those who don’t have their book at home. You could just talk about the answers with your grown up or record the answers on paper if you don’t have a printer.

Art (week 1)

We love the wonderful illustrations in the Rapunzel and Little Red texts we have been using for our literacy over the last few weeks. They were created by Bethan Woollvin, who also wrote the stories. Today we will be having a go at making our own drawings inspired by her simple, distinctive style.

Click on the link below to find a step-by-step guide to drawing a wolf created by Bethan herself…

https://www.theguardian.com/childrens-books-site/gallery/2016/mar/28/how-to-draw-a-badly-disguised-wolf-bethan-woolvin

Why not try having a go at drawing some other fairy-tale characters in Bethan’s style? You might find it easiest to start with the round face shape, and don’t forget to add those big, distinctive eyes!

Hello. I forgot to remind you but don’t forget Mrs Smiths live assembly is at 2.20pm today. The link was emailed out to you.

Have a great rest of your week.

PE

Can you make your own traditional tale keep fit session?  

Design it and then spend a minute doing each bit.  You could ask your grown up to try it out too!  

Here is an example but I’m sure you’ll have lots of ideas! You don’t have to write it out,  you can just draw quick pictures on a piece of paper or your whiteboard to remind you what to do.

Idea	Action	Picture
Goats trip trapping over the bridge	Stamping on the spot
The witch climbing up Rapunzel’s hair	Reaching up in the air and pretending to pull on her hair
Goldilocks stirring the porridge	Big circular motions with your arms
The frog waiting to be kissed	Big froggy jumps
The gingerbread man running away	Running on the spot
Jack chopping down the beanstalk	Chopping action from side to side

Maths– Comparing numbers Live 9.30am

Today we are going to be learning how to compare larger numbers. Look carefully at the picture below.

Compare the two numbers. Which number is bigger? How do you know? ‘Let’s Learn’ below will help explain.

Next we’re going to compare three numbers.    37, 22 and 29. 

TOP TIP! First compare the tens in all three numbers.  Second compare the ones where the tens are the same.

Now place these numbers in order from smallest to largest and vice versa.

Finally, have a go at the guided practice questions below and then complete pages 11 – 14 in your Maths No Problem book.

Maths Challenge Time!

These place-value challenges are designed for those children who are able to complete their workbook job independently. You do not need to record your answers, just have a discussion.  The question ‘How do you know that?’  is a brilliant starting place.

In this lesson, we will be learning about some of the ways in which toys have changed over time. We will be learning about the differences between wooden, plastic and electronic toys and will also look at some examples of each. Please click on the link below to access the lesson.

Once you’ve finished the lesson you could ask your parents or grandparents about the toys they used to play with when they were little!

English Live 9.30am

This week we are reading another traditional tale by Bethan Woolvin it is an alternative version of Little Red Riding Hood.  If you are unable to join the live session at 9.30 today then please watch this video…. 

Next see if you can order this story as last week. Cut up the sequencing sheet below then order the pictures. Please number them 1-8 and stick them into your red book.  You will need two pages.  Stick the first 4 in the blank space of one page and the second 4 in the blank space of the second page.  Underneath start to write a sentence to go with each picture.   If you don’t have a printer you could draw the pictures instead. Please don’t worry if your child can only manage a few sentences, a few good quality independent sentences are better than lots of perfect ones where they needed loads of prompting and support. 

Keep it neat, cut out carefully, stick in neatly and when you write your sentence remember to leave finger spaces and start each sentence with a capital letter and end with a full stop.  

Here is one that I started.  If your child finds writing a bit tricky you could make the sentences simpler than the one in the photo e.g.

1.  Little red riding hood set off through the woods to Grandma’s house.
2. She met a wolf.

Good morning! Just to let you know, for those of you learning at home we have swapped our PE and Science afternoon sessions around.  For those of you coming into school please continue to wear your PE kit on a Monday and Thursday.

We are no longer running the cuppa and a catch up session for parents on a Tuesday.  As always if you have any questions or wish to discuss things with your child’s teacher then continue to use email, we are always happy to get back in touch with you.  Below is the timetable for this week.

Art

This week in our art and harmony sessions we will be exploring colour-mixing. 

This afternoon is all about exploring what happens when you mix colours.

Try starting with the Primary colours – red, blue and yellow – and choose 2 to mix. What do you notice? 

Now try mixing a different combination of 2 colours.

What happens if you mix all 3 primary colours together?

You can use paint, pastels (oil or chalk) crayons, pencil crayons or even playdough to explore your colour-mixing. In school we might try making ice cubes with food colouring and dropping different coloured cubes into cups of water to see what happens…

Here are some ideas to get you started – have fun and do let us know what you discover as you mix!

If you don’t have any of these resources at home you could try this interactive colour-mixing colouring activity by clicking on the link:
