Hi, everyone. Here are our activities for Tuesday.

Wake Up, Shake Up: Hey, Monkey

Maths

Today we are learning about ‘giving change’. What does this mean? Enjoy watching the Little Juan clip explaining change: Change from 10p

If I buy a sweet for 5p and I only have a 10p coin, how much do I get back? There are two ways of working this out. One way is to subtract 5 from 10, so 10-5=5. The other way is to ‘find the difference’ between 5 and 10 and would involve counting on from 5 until you reach 10.

Yellows for maths: Set yourself up a pretend shop and practise paying for items worth up to 10p. Start with just buying one thing at a time but only having a 10p coin to pay with. Can you work out the change needed? If you are confident, you could practise adding two small amounts together. If the items come to 8p, can you use a 10p coin to pay? Yes! How much change would you get?

Greens and blues for maths: Work out how much the items come to that the children buy and then answer the change questions on the second part of the sheet. Using actual coins may help with this. At the Shops

If printing is a problem, then enjoy lots of practical work adding small prices together to find totals. See if you can work out how much change you may get from a 10p or, for those more confident, a 20p coin. You may enjoy having a go at this online game: pay for it/giving change game

As I’m sure you are aware, this week is mental health week. Do you know what ‘mental health’ means? Have a chat with a grown up about why it is important to feel good in our minds as well as our bodies. Then, have a look at these mindfulness challenge cards and choose one or two to have a go at. If the weather is nice, go for a really good walk and see what you notice around you. Can you hear any birds singing? Can you spot any new plants, such as snowdrops, growing? Is there a breeze? What does it feel like against your skin? senses-mindfulness-challenge-cards

What nursery rhymes do you remember from yesterday? Do you have a favourite nursery rhyme? If so, which one?

Today we will look at a poem about lots of different animals. It’s called, ‘Rumble in the Jungle’. Enjoy reading along with this lovely online version: Rumble in the Jungle – BookTrust

Did you enjoy that? Can you remember which animals appeared in the book? Did you have a favourite? Was there rhyme in this book? Maybe you can look again at one or two of the pages and tell an adult where the rhyming words are.

Now choose one of the verses – maybe it could be the one about a favourite animal – and practise reading it until you are confident. I would like you to be able to recite it without looking if possible, so choose a verse that doesn’t have too many tricky words unless you want a challenge!

Once you can say the poem with only a little bit of help/no help at all, practise putting some actions with it. How does this animal move? What is the animal doing in the verse?

When you are reading the verse, try really hard to use expression and make your ‘performance’ really interesting for the listener. Maybe you could ask other family members to be your audience! You may also like to email it to me so the children at school can enjoy watching it too.

Have a think about how things move. Watch the clip and see if you can come up with some words to describe the movements: pushes and pulls 

Now look around your house. What can you find that moves? Can you find something that:

you need to push

you need to pull

you need to turn

you need to twist?

Can you draw a picture of, or write about, each item that you find? Why do you think that sometimes you would push something rather than pull it? When you turn the object that you’ve described, which way are you turning it? What happens if you turn it the other way?

Phonics/SPaG

First, see how many tricky words you can say: Tricky Word Trucks

Which of the tricky words do you find particularly challenging? How many times can you write this word in 1 minute?

Today we are adding ‘ing’ to verbs. This changes their meaning and when they are happening. For example, I could say that generally children play outside. If they are doing it right now, I would need to say that the children are playing outside. The ‘ing’ that we add is called a suffix.

Follow the link to get to this activity adding ‘ing’ to a verb: adding ‘ing’ suffix You will need to click on ‘adding ing to verbs’. See if you can say what the word will be before clicking to reveal. Choose one of the words with the ‘ing’ ending and put it into a sentence. Remember to use a capital letter and a full stop.

Have a super day, everyone. x
