Hi Year One!

We’ve reached the mid point in the week! So impressed that you’re continuing to work hard right until the end.

Here are your tasks for today:

Writing

As you know, Miss Needham is going to be joining  our class next year. As she doesn’t know many of you that well, I would like you to write her a letter (or email) telling her facts about yourself.

You can take a picture of it, sent it to me and I can print it off for her. Or you can post it to school.

Maths 

Lesson      Sheet

Science

Have a go at this really cool Science lesson about forces.

I love it because it links science and one of my favourite sports.

Hello Year 2 children and their families. It is my last home learning post for you all today so I wanted to say thank you to your adults for all your support as you have taken over our role for the last fourteen weeks! We have missed the class very much and we are sorry the year has come to an end before we could all be back at school together.

We hope you have a safe and relaxing summer holiday and we shall see you all when you return to school as the new Year 3 class.  We know Mr Wain will have a great year with such a fantastic class.

So, here we go with the learning for you for today.

Lesson 1 science/reading

Do you remember back in February, we started our grow your own potatoes project.

Well, they have been well cared for at home and the time has come to harvest the potatoes.

1.Read this text to see how the potatoes were harvested.

2.Watch this video to show how the potato farmer harvests their potatoes and gets them ready for the supermarket.

3.Read and complete this quiz based on the video. Here are the answers.

Lesson 2 maths

First of all, spend 10/15 minutes on Times Table Rock Stars.

Today, try a suduku challenge to test your problem solving and reasoning skills.  Start by completing the 4×4 grid. Then, try the 6×6 grid.

Lesson 3 PE 

This skipping activity is led by someone the children will recognise. Unfortunately, our Year 2 Skipping School Festival couldn’t take place this term but click here to watch the video and join in if you have a skipping rope at home.

If you don’t have access to a skipping rope at home, choose five of the ThisisPE challenges.

Happy Friday, Y6!

Maths – LO: solving problems
 
Just like yesterday, click here to join me for today’s task.

Reading – LO: RIC or conveying character

Your task today is either a RIC from FirstNews, or you can choose to convey character from the short film ‘Catch it’ that we watched yesterday.

Click here for your RIC.

If you decide to convey character, you need to use the speech that you created for the different scenes yesterday and act them out! Feel free to change your speech slightly if you wish and remember we are conveying character – this means lots of expression in your voice, obvious body language between the characters and most of all, enjoy yourself!

You could choose members of your household to act out the scenes with you or you could do it yourself!

I’d love to see your attempts so please send them over if you get the chance.

Drama – LO: theatre genres
 
Click here to start today’s task all about different performance styles in plays.
Once you’ve read the website and watched the videos, complete the following sentence stems in your home learning book.
1. Genre means…
2. My favourite type of theatre was… because…
3. My least favourite was… because…
4. Three things I have learnt today are…
Next, complete activities one and two.
An example for activity one could be to change the genre of Little Red Riding Hood to be a comedy. Some of the lines might change in order to make the audience “howl” with laughter eg more terrible wolf puns. The costumes might change to be funnier, like a wolf with an exaggeratedly large head and bug eyes.
Have a look at the example below for activity two.
As always, email me with your efforts!
