Hello and welcome to your last day of home learning! Only three more sleeps. I hope you can all make the catch up at 1.45 this afternoon for a picture quiz and I’ve invited a special guest too.

Maths

Using a Calendar

Do you know what the first day of the week is and the last? Do they know the special names for Saturday and Sunday? How about the special names for the other days of the week? 

Now look at this calendar for the whole year. Look for similarities and differences between each month (e.g. number of days). Discuss the number of months in a year; which is the first and the last month of the year and so on. Ask them about their birthdays.

Now have a go at page 112 in your Workbook. 

Journal Job:

You will need your red book and a calendar. You can use one from home or print out the one from below…

We would like you to find  some important events on your calendar and write the dates, (including the day of the week) into your red book. Here are some ideas…

Your Birthday

Your Family’s birthdays

Christmas Day / Halloween / Bonfire Night… or any other date you would like to include!

If you want even more maths… have a go at this…

Harmony Hokusai’s Great Wave Hokusai was an artist who was born in Japan about 250 years ago.   His most famous work of art was ‘The Great Wave’ – a woodblock print. Have a look at it below: Talk to someone at home about the picture – what colours has the artist used? How has he made the water look like it is moving? Look even more carefully – what else can you spot in the ocean?  Do you see something in the background where the land would be? This is Mount Fuji – the highest mountain in Japan. It is also a volcano. Hokusai created a series of woodblock prints called ‘36 views of Mount Fuji’. They show landscapes and the everyday lives of people in Japan around 200 years ago. Have a look at the pictures – can you spot Mount Fuji in each one?  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2dqtcu2NN8  You might feel like creating your own piece of wave-inspired art, maybe using some of the tints and shades of blue you explored during Monday’s art session. Remember to share your work, we’d love to see it!

And finally…

When your child returns to school on Monday please can you ensure they bring…

• book bag
• reading books and diary
• red exercise book
• red handwriting book
• Maths no Problem book
• Whiteboard and pen
• Snail Journal booklet with the first two sessions completed
• their own pencil case if they wish
• and finally… One piece of work to go on the wall. – something they are really proud of and would like to share with the class. I will mention this  in the live on Friday afternoon.

Many thanks!

Today is World Book Day. You will have received an email link to the voucher for your child.

Join us in the afternoon session at 1.45 for a scavenger hunt! Please don’t look at it beforehand just print or ask a parent/carer to make the list for you!

Here is a video from the Rescue Readers with lots of ideas of things to do and a pack you can download.

Today we would like you to write the next entry into your travel journal  after the snail’s visit to a tropical beach!  Look at these images to get you thinking.

Now watch these two videos to get more inspiration – the first is a bit long so just watch the first few minutes.

Remember to write in sentences using a capital letter and full stop and try and use some adjectives to bring your writing to life.  We will finish the travel journal next week when you are all back in school!

Maths: Comparing Time Live 9.30am

1. Quicker and Slower

We are going to begin today’s lesson with a paper plane building race. Ask a partner to create a paper plane at the same time as you. Who finished quicker? Who was slower?

Now have a look at the following race. Can you tell who was quickest and slowest?

2. Earlier and Later

Can you think of words we can use when we have to be somewhere by a certain time. (introduce terms such as early/late, earlier/later). Would we say that the sprinter was earlier to finish the race? Why or why not? When do we use the term ‘quicker’ and what is different about ‘earlier’? 

Now complete page 111 in your Workbook. Then why not have a go at the Maths Challenge below – remember to talk your ideas through with an adult.

I wonder where the snail will go?  Watch this BBC  version of the story and try to remember all the different places she travels.  

https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000cslw/the-snail-and-the-whale

Over the next few sessions we are going to be making a travel journal (like a diary) of the places that the snail visits.

Today we would like you to write the first page after the snail’s visit to Antarctica!  Look at this  image to get you thinking and then watch the video clip below.

https://bit.ly/2OehmvW

When you write in your journal you will be pretending you are the snail so you will be using the word I a lot.  Try and use the senses to give you some ideas.  E.g. What could the snail see, what could she hear etc. Try and use an adjective or two as well.  Can you also join two ideas together in a sentence by using and?

Remember to use your neatest writing, leave finger spaces and start your sentences with a capital letter and end with a full stop. 

Home fully you all got your copy of the travel journal leaflet that Miss Goodridge put through your door. You will be starting your journal at home this week but finishing it in school next week. If you need it, a copy of the journal is here.

Mrs Keys has created an amazing virtual library for you of books about under the sea. If you click on the link to download the page below and then click on a book it will take you to a you tube video of each story being read. Enjoy!

Good morning Skipper 1. Welcome to (hopefully!) your last week of home learning. We are really excited to be seeing you all in person next week. Same main lessons again this week but Thursday will be a world book day activity instead of science. Have a great week. Mrs Hollingworth x

Art– Tints and Shades of Blue

These works of art are all very different – but can you work out what is the same?

That’s right – they each have different shades of blue in them!

Today we are going to explore tints and shades of blue. 

If you have some paints or pastels at home try making your own tints and shades of blue. Start with blue then add increasing amounts of white for tints or black for shades. Talk to someone at home about what you notice as you add in black or white. You could create your own colour chart, picture or just have fun exploring what happens!

Or why not go on a hunt around the house to see how many different blue things you can spot? You might like to gather some objects and create your own piece of 3D art…

Maths – Estimating Duration of Time Live 9.30am

Can you think of activities that take one second to do? Repeat this exercise to discuss activities that take one minute and one hour.

Have a look at these examples, they may help you think of more!

ACTIVITY TIME:

Use a digital timer or stopwatch to show the duration of seconds and minutes by timing your child doing certain activities – this could be writing their names, drawing a picture, exercises. This will give pupils a sense of the duration of time.

Now work your way through the Guided Practice questions below and then complete page 110 in your workbook.
