English

In English today, you can complete your usual Friday grammar activity. Remember, if you have decided to carry on with writing your pirate adventure story then you can miss this today. 

Once you have completed your task you can check your answers. If you don’t have access to a printer, it is fine for you to talk through each question and discuss your answers rather than write them down if things a little easier. 

Have fun and be great grammar detectives! 

Maths

Today in maths, we have another Friday maths challenge for you to have a go at! 

Similarly to last week, these problems aim to encourage you to challenge yourself, and draw on your maths knowledge to find the answers. The first two problems will be aimed at Year 2, so we suggest you focus on these, and may want to complete either, or both of these problems.

Please click on the link below to access the above problem, and others on the White Rose page. Complete ‘Lesson 5’ in ‘Summer Term – Week 2’ named ‘Friday maths challenge’. Please email us if you have any questions regarding this. Good luck!

Today’s extra activity will continue with our science learning all about plants. Today we are going to be thinking specifically about what plants need to grow. Click here to watch a short video explaining the things that plants need to grow. 

Once you have watched the video, share what you have learnt by completing one of the below activities.

Activity 1- Circle the things that plants need

Activity 2 – Fill in the gaps

Activity 3 – Cut and order stages

Daily Time Fillers

Here are some additional activities for you to have a go at each day if you choose to. Please feel free to do as much or as little of these as you wish. We have added a handwriting booklet (the entire alphabet) that you could work through very gradually, not in one go. You can either print the booklet, or do this onto paper of your own at home. We look forward to seeing how amazing your handwriting will be when we see your work. The Common Exception Words should also be learnt gradually, by selecting 2 or 3 words a week that you should aim to learn along side your weekly spellings.

• 20 minutes of reading either a school book or a home book.
• Practice your 2,5 and 10 times tables using TTRockstars, or a different method.
• Practice your weekly spellings which will be provided below and on Spelling Shed, and the Year 2 Common Exception Words.

Maths – Friday Family challenge

Please find attached the White Rose Family Maths Challenges. On their website they suggest that questions 1-5 are most suitable for Year 4 children, but if your child is confident, by all means let them go as far as they can. There is no video for this however I always find it useful to have a piece of paper and a pencil to jot down my train of thoughts. Do have fun having a go at them.

If you fancy something different, why not give Miss Goddard’s ‘Daily Maths Challenge’  a go where today’s activity is an ‘Addition Maze’.  If you would like to access it, please click here. 

English and Science

Yesterday you looked at producers and consumers within a food chain. Hopefully you managed to get in the garden for a bit to do a field survey, I wonder what you found. I mentioned the pigeon and the crows (consumers) on my balcony, they were after the bird seed (producer). Today we have a bit of a quiz about food chains which you might like to have a go at, we have posted the answers too so you can check at the end. There is a PowerPoint attached as well which shows some different food chains, so you might be interested in that.

We would also like you to write a short explanation of your food chain. I have done one for the snow leopard as an example.

French

In Miss Stonehouse’s French lesson today, you will be continuing to practise the names of animals and describe them with a colour.

Maths

Today in maths we are thinking about division. In Year 1, this is mainly looking grouping and sharing and we avoid looking at the division symbol as this is a more abstract concept. We focus on teaching division through concrete objects and picture representations. We also look at halving and how this links to doubling. Use our division guide for examples of these. Find it here: Year 1 Division Guide

Summer Term, Week 1, Lesson 2 –  Make equal groups (grouping) 

Today we are starting something brand new in maths! We are going to be having a go at making equal groups.  Have a watch of the video. What do you spot? While watching the video and doing your job can you join in with the sentence? 

‘There are ___ objects altogether.’ 

‘There are ___ equal groups of ___.’

You could have a go at making equal groups practically with different objects in your house. You could put your teddies into equal groups. You could put your toy cars into equal groups. You could put your loom bands into equal groups.

Question 4 of your job asks you to group the counters in different ways. For this question you could draw the counters in different groups or you could use objects from around your house to help you.
