Maths

Teaching Video - Make Equal groups

Worksheet - Make Equal groups

Answer sheet

True or False

As this is quite an easy task today, feel free to use Hit the Button where your child could work on their doubles or on their times tables.

Don't forget My Maths Homework too


English

Today I would like to expose the children to a few different instructions, so they can recap what instructions look like, the different parts to instructions and the different language used. Here are some different instructions for the children to read and follow if possible.

Hot Chocolate instructions

Snakes and Ladders

Papier Mache Globe instructions

Spelling game - using the spellings from yesterday (see below) play Speedwrite - give 30 seconds for each word - how many times can they write the word? Repeat for each spelling - ensure each one is the correct spelling

Phonics recap

Wider Curriculum


Science - Use of Everyday Materials

Firstly what materials can the children think of? List them e.g. plastic, fabric etc Now can they find something around the house which is made from that material? Can they find more than one? What have they found most of around the house? Can they start to think about why that might be?

Bitesize - Materials (recap)

P.E - Bat and Ball Skills

Encourage the children to always start by warming their bodies up.

Start by throwing and catching - using different sized items and from different distances. What are the different ways we throw and why? (e.g. under arm, over arm)

When confident choose an object that is light enough for the child to bat back using their hand. Children need to think about where they aim and how hard or soft to bat it so that it can be caught. This can be made harder or easier by varying the objects and distance as before.

Children should be encouraged to cool down after any exercise and talk about why this is important.


Tuesday

Maths

Teaching Video - Recognise equal groups

Worksheet - Recognising equal groups

Answer sheet

Extra Challenge

Recognising equal groups sorting


English

As we start our unit on Instructions, I would like the children to think about how they might teach somebody how to wash their hands properly. Think about what order they need to be in and giving enough detail so they understand exactly what to do. Children might want to say practise these orally before having a go at writing them. Over the week we will look at different aspects of instructions. This is a starting task to see what children already know about how to write instructions so not too much help should be given. Once I have seen the children's starting points I will plan the rest of the week accordingly.

Spellings for this week - contractions

In school we will be learning what contractions are How to use apostrophes for contractions and playing some spelling games to help us to learn how to spell them. 

Finish it game - I will write the words from our spellings with 1 or 2 letters missing on the board - what letters are missing? (make it easy on the first day)
