Hello Year One
It’s Friday! That means it’s challenge day.
Click on this link and have a good at this week’s maths challenges! There are three challenges this week and they all link to this week’s learning. Good luck!
It’s our Love of Reading session today. I’d like you to sit down with a good book and enjoy reading together. You might share a book or your child may want to read independently. Talk about what you’re reading and ask some questions.
Our final Friday lesson is about dinosaurs! Click on this link and enjoy this fun lesson.
Have a great weekend everyone 🙂
Week 12: Home learning: 03 July 2020
Happy Friday!
Today, all your tasks are linked to reading. I hope you enjoy them.
Task 1
Reading and exploring poetry
Task 2
Who can remember the story of George’s Marvellous Medicine? 
We read the book earlier in the year. What can you remember about the characters?
Using the book George’s Marvellous Medicine you are going to learn how to summarise information from an extract and write a description inspired by Roald Dahl.
There are 3 activities to choose from.
Activity 3 looks great! Here are some templates to help you if needed.

Week 12: 03 July 2020: Home learning
THE DEADLINE IS TODAY! Message your class mates and ask them if they’ve done theirs!
Here’s another reminder about the extra task I’d like you to do this week. It’s completely optional but it’d be amazing if we could get everyone in Moortown’s class of 2020 to take part!
I’d like you to film a short clip of yourself:
- describing a favourite memory from primary school
- explaining why it’s awesome to be you
- saying what you want to be when you grow up
Send your videos (they can be separate but no longer than 30 – 60 seconds) to my email address:
jenwilson@spherefederation.org
Maths – LO: mean average
You know the drill – click here.
Click here for task one and here for task two.
Challenges
- look for keywords in the question
- find the right page/section
- read around the information
- write down your answer
- check it makes sense
Science – LO: How do we produce energy?
Use this video to learn about non-renewable and renewable energy and consider the pros and cons of fossil fuels. You will need a piece of paper, a pencil and your brain – get ready to pause the video and complete the tasks within it.
After you’ve watched the video, you need to persuade me whether or not to use fossil fuels, using the advantages and disadvantages you’ve just learnt. You could:
- make a poster
- write a speech
- create a presentation
- write a poem/song
As always, send in your learning from home!

Week 12: 01 July 2020: Home learning
Can you believe that we are in week 12 of home learning!
It is simply amazing how well everyone has adapted to this.

Have a go at this morning challenge to warm up your brains.
You have the usual 3 tasks to complete today.

Maths
Every now and then we will revisit some previous learning. Today, we are going to look at place value.

Task 3
Let’s think about your transition to Year 3.
Before our Zoom meeting, we would like you to complete the attached booklet. If you aren’t able to print it out then you can write down all your favorite facts about being in Year 2.
T-P-003-Year-2-Write-Up-Booklet
We are hoping to get a message from your new teacher to show you during our meeting.
Then, choose one of these activities to complete ready for Year 3. The resources are all based on a superhero theme and include written and art activities that can be added to your classroom as a display. Here are some suggestions about how to use them:
- Superhero Profile – Ask children to complete this activity sheet. It asks them for a superhero name, their secret identity (their real name), their super powers (what subjects / activities they are good at), their weaknesses (things they would like to get better at) and ways that they are going to change the world (their hopes and dreams for the future).
- Superhero Shield Design – Challenge pupils to create a design to match their superhero character. Can they think of appropriate images to add to the design (to highlight their strengths / talents / interests)?
- Or, you can design your own Year 3 super hero.
Finally, here’s a short story for you to enjoy at the end of your learning.
