Don’t forget there is a short session just for parents and carers this morning. This is just for adults and will give you the opportunity to ask any questions, have a catch up and share how it is going. It is not compulsory but it would be lovely to see you if you can join. The google meet invite is different to the one you have been using for the live teaching sessions and can be found on the letter that was in your child’s learning pack.

How have people’s lives changed in living memory?

This half term we will be following a series of lessons that explore the ways in which life has changed over  the last 60 years.  I am sure they will bring back a few memories for all of you parents too.  The lessons are provided by “Oak Academy” and are led by teachers.  

Today I would like you to look at Lesson 1.  In this lesson, we will learn about some of the ways in which popular music has changed over the last 60 years. We will learn how the ways in which people listen to music has changed over time and will look more closely at cassettes and CDs. We will then listen to some songs from singers and groups from the 1960s to 1980s. You will need a piece of paper and a pencil.

Afterwards maybe you could ask your parents and grandparents what popular music they enjoyed listening to when they were younger!

Tomorrow there will be an experiment to try at home.  You will need to get ready, some twigs or a piece of wood, a plastic bag or cup, a glass cup, cardboard or paper, and a pair of socks or piece of fabric.  If you do not have these materials, you can watch the lesson and record your observations of the experiment.

You will be able to join phonics in class at 11am. Just use the link for Google Meet you were sent last week. You’ll need your whiteboard and pen.

For our catch up this afternoon please have your handwriting book ready for some new letters.

One of our favourite traditional tales is Rapunzel.  Do you know the story?  You may have a copy of this story at home that you could read, if not then please do watch the video below. 

 How many of the key features of traditional tales did you notice?  Please record your work on this sheet or write the answers in your red book.  If you do it on the sheet please trim the sheet so that you can stick it neatly into your red book.

1.45!!

So sorry it is 1.45 my mistake.

Today we are going to be adding by counting on.

You will need a selection of small objects ie. lego bricks or pasta etc. Maths no problem work book 1A and your white board and pen if you want to write down the calculations. 

To start can you create a group of 8 using your objects that look like the 8 buns below. Then you are going to add 3 more. How can we do this? What is the best way to count on? Should we start at 1? Which is the biggest number? Can we hold a number in our head? Add your 3 more by counting on from 8 and adding 3 more to the group.

Now try these by creating a group of objects and then counting on to add the rest. You can also try using a number line or hundred square- 

11+3=

12+2=

7+4=

12+2=

2+9=

4+15=

Don’t forget to start with the biggest number.

Now have a go at page 119-120 in your work book. Worksheet 1- Add by counting on. Remember to start counting from the biggest number and try not to start at 1.

Finally at some point today have a go at this game-

Start with level 2 and challenge yourself with level 4 or 5. Remember to count on from the big number. If you start in relaxed mode you could use your fingers, a number line or objects to count on with.

Phonics

Today you will be able to join phonics in class at 11am! Just use the link for the Google Meet with Mrs Hollingworth that you were sent last week. You’ll need your whiteboard and pen. We can’t wait to see you, all with fingers and toes crossed that it works!

Catch up

At 1.45pm Mrs Hollingworth will be meeting home learners for a catch up. Use the same google meet link, we will have a chat and you can let me know how you got on today. See you then.

Art

Many traditional tales have castles or towers as the setting for the story. For art today we’d like you to draw a picture of a castle. You could follow the step-by-step instructions below or create your own drawing inspired by an illustration from a book or your own imagination! You can choose how you’d like to add colour and detail – pens, pencils, paint, crayons, felt tips or chalk would all work brilliantly!

** Note: you will need some cardboard tubes (kitchen roll tubes are perfect) and boxes for next week’s art activity! (cereal box- size or smaller is fine)

And another 6 year old this weekend! Have a super day Franklyn.

We hope you have a super day. Your friend chose you this song as we can’t sing to you at the moment!
