Today’s task:

Challenge – Watch the Caterpillar shoes story video again. Can you work out how many shoes the Caterpillar had?

Use the table to help you work it out by watching how many shoes he gave to each mini-beast.

Art

Can you design a new pair of shoes for a mini-beast?

Choose which mini-beats you are going to design new shoes for. How many shoes will you need?

Why are those shoes good for that mini-beast? How will they help them?

You can use these templates if you need to or just go for it and design your own!

Who lives in your garden?

Two weeks ago I asked you to have a look at which plants grow in your garden. Today I would like you to go on a hunt and see which minibeast you can find in your garden. Watch the BBC Bitesize video to find out what minibeasts are and then complete the minibeast hunt.

Happy hunting!

Good morning Class 1. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed your VE Day celebrations. We certainly had the perfect weather and your photos look fantastic.

Maths

Number bonds and addition facts are basic facts which are crucial in many aspects of maths. We looked at number bonds and addition facts in many different ways at the beginning of the spring term. The activities this week will recap and build on previous learning. You will see that children need to be able to see addition and subtraction facts in many different ways and representations.

Today follow the link: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/  and click on Summer Term Week 3. Watch the video for lesson 1: Part-whole relationships number bonds, then have a go at the activities.

If you would like extra practice, the BBC Bitesize have created additional videos and activities. Sometimes it is helpful to see the same message presented in a different way. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zh8m6v4

Today’s Reasoning and problem solving. Please remember that it is up to you what you choose to complete and what you feel is appropriate for your child at this moment.


Well Done!

Another fantastic week Class 1! I continue to be amazed at all the wonderful things you are doing. Today there are lots of activities to prepare for a wonderful VE Day celebration. Enjoy, have fun and have a fantastic time!

Thursday 7th May

Lets prepare for the celebration and your own street party!

To celebrate, there were many street parties across the country. Why not have your own ‘street party’ at home with your family. You could do lots of things to make it special:

  • Dress in red, white and blue
  • Make your own bunting to hang up
  • Make posters to show everyone what you are doing
  • Find some 1940s music to play
  • Make poppies to wear
  • Try some wartime recipes to make for your picnic
  • Find out what games children played and have a go at playing them
  • Enjoy an outdoor picnic in your garden, if the weather is good
  • Most of all HAVE FUN!

Make some bunting, colour in some flags and maybe even do some baking of some war time recipes!

Have lots of fun and a wonderful celebration with your families!

Send us lots of pictures!

Looking after ourselves

We all have worries at one time or another they can be about all sorts of things. At the moment when things are very different, worries can become huge! Below is a lovely story about a little boy who worries about all sorts and finds a way to help himself by making worry dolls. Maybe you could make some too.

Here’s a lovely way of helping young children to understand the current situation.
