Home learning for 7.1.21

Hi everyone,

Hopefully you have got on well with home schooling today. Here are the activities for tomorrow. Please don’t worry about adapting the ideas given or making your own sheets. It is also fine to do things practically if printing is tricky.

Please continue to practise your spellings. It will also be beneficial to go through your sounds. You could use the flashcards on Phonics Play (username: pps1; password: apple) for this: flashcards phonics

Wake Up, Shake Up: Hey Monkey

Maths: Recap the coins that we looked at yesterday using real life examples (1p, 2p, 5p and 10p. Introduce the 20p. What colour is it? How many sides does it have? Go back over how many 1p coins are the same as a 2p piece, a 5p piece and a 10p piece. How many 1p coins are the same as a 20p coin?  How about the number of 2p coins that are the same as a 10p? How many 2p coins would be the same as a 20p?

Yellows: Use 1p and 2p coins to pay for things in a pretend shop, using items in your house. If you are feeling confident, try just using 2p coins to pay for things costing 8p, 10p or 12p.

Greens: Try the first two sheets on this file: how-much-do-the-ice-creams-cost-activity-sheets Feel free to try the third sheet if confident! Remember to look carefully at the value of each coin as you add them!

Blues: Have a go at sheets 3 and 4 on this file. When you are filling the jars with your own choices, see if you can use coins other than 1ps. What combinations of coins can you use to make this amount? how-much-money-is-in-my-jar-british-money-differentiated-activity-sheets

Reading Skills

Read or watch ‘Superworm’ by Julia Donaldson. Does this story have all the ingredients of a typical Julia Donaldson book? (Does it rhyme? Does it have animals in it? Is there some fantasy?) Can you think of any other Julia Donaldson books that have heroes in them?

PE

The children who are at school have Crossbar on a Thursday afternoon. Have fun with this PE routine: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b03g6vqf

You may have to adapt some of the movements if you have a lack of space! You may decide to go for a walk instead. Remember to wrap up warm!

Have a lovely day everyone,
