Some of you have done this already and they are great! If you haven’t yet, you can have a go at writing your newspaper report or video your news broadcast.

Use your planning you did yesterday to help you remember what to include.

You can use purple mash, a 2do has been set for a newspaper article or use the template emailed or make your own!

You can make this as fun as you want!!

Did you manage to make a simple balance and compare the mass of different objects? If so it would be great to see some pictures of how you got on.

Today follow the link: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/  and click on Week 1. Watch the video for lesson 3: Compare mass, then have a go at the activities.

Wellbeing

During this time, it is really important to make sure we are looking after ourselves and each other. I know how kind you all can be so I thought it would be really good to think about the acts of kindness you do each day. You could do this as a family and record how you are looking after each other on a Kindness Calendar. Let us know how you get on.

Plan a News Report

Plan a news broadcast or a newspaper report to report the enormous beanstalk that appeared overnight in Jack’s garden.

Think about What, Where, How, Why and Who? Can you interview anyone who has seen it and include this?

Use the planning sheet as a guide for what to include.

Here is an example for you to look at.

Remember today is just about planning it and thinking about everything you need to include!

Thank you all so much for your kind and thoughtful message!

You are all fantastic and we miss you all lots too and can’t wait to see you.

Keep up all your amazing work and keep smiling!

A message from Mrs Ledingham…

Well done!

Some fantastic work being completed Class 1, a HUGE Well done to you all!

You have been reading lots of books on epic! and achieved your first reward badge!

You have been completing some fantastic activities on Literacy Planet!

Fantastic retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk to help me get out of my muddle!

And some amazing beanstalk Art work and sculptures!

You have also been doing lots of growing already and other fun activities!

For today only a Key Stage One yellow drop box will be put under the community noticeboard near the school path. It contains a little pot and two types of seeds to get you going with your seed planting and it will be there all day. If you or a member of your family is able to take their daily exercise and collect a pot that would be fab. Also in the drop box will be an exercise book and a new pencil for you to use during summer home school learning.

Maths

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/ Follow the link and click on Week 1. Watch the video for lesson 2: Measure mass, then have a go at the activities. Have a go at making a simple balance at home. Measure the mass of objects using something in the home eg lego bricks.

Help me! I got myself all jumbled up with the story! Can you help me put it back in the correct order and retell it properly?

I have set this as a 2do on Purple mash or you can draw pictures, act it out or retell it to a brother or sister.

Art / DT

Can you create your own beanstalk, it could be 3D or just a drawing or a painting. Use the ideas on the pic collage posted for some inspiration!

Hello! I do hope you all had a lovely Easter and enjoyed the wonderful sunshine – I definitely did! I have been busy in my garden planting lots of seeds and I know some of you have too. If not, I hope you will be able to get some seeds and have a go at planting for our science work.

I will be posting a maths activity each day, which will be using the White Rose maths resources. These will include videos to watch and activities to do. I will also be posting a science activity each week and other activities over the coming weeks including ICT and Geography.

Please keep us posted on how you are doing and send pictures using the Class 1 email. I am also available to answer questions and help with anything I can. I will be checking the email daily so hopefully will get back to you quickly.

Maths

This week we will begin by looking at: Comparing, describing and solving practical problems for mass/weight: [for example, heavy/light, heavier than, lighter than]; capacity and volume [for example, full/empty, more than, less than, half, half full,quarter]

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/ Follow the link and watch the video for lesson 1: introduce weight and mass, then have a go at the activities. Can you find objects around the house and garden and compare them? Which is heavier and which is lighter?

Science

In science over the next few weeks we will be observing how plants grow. I would like you to plant at least 3 seeds; beans or sunflowers are good. Over the next few weeks I would like you to observe what happens and keep a diary of what you see. Once the plants begin to grow, can you use your measuring skills to see how tall it is and record this in your diary? Draw a picture or take a photograph of what you see and label it. Describe what is happening. I have planted some beans – check your email to see my bean diary so far!

Use your 3 seeds to investigate what they need to grow: Plant one seed, place in the light and water regularly. Plant one seed and place in the light but do not water. Plant the last seed, place in the dark and water regularly. Can you predict what will happen? What do you observe? What is the same? What is different? What have you learnt that plants need?

Be patient, it will take a few days for your plants to begin to grow.

Don’t forget to check Purple mash for activities and have fun!

The next 2 weeks will be spent completing tasks and activities based around Jack and the Beanstalk.

Today I would like you to read the story or listen to the story being read to you, following the words, on epic! reading. Then take the quiz answering the questions about the story.

Just search for Jack and the Beanstalk and it is the book by Naomi McMillan.
