Dear Parents and Carers,

Hello!

As most of you know, because your teacher is now back in school teaching, I (Miss Charlesworth) have been given the job of setting your home learning activities. Hopefully, I won’t make many changes to it and I will make sure to keep it fun and easy for you to follow. Also, your teacher will continue to check the work you send them and you can still contact them if you need to.

I just wanted to keep you updated with some changes that have been agreed with Mr Harris and the other teachers who are currently setting home learning.  
 

From Monday (8.6.20), your literacy and maths work will be uploaded onto your class page daily. I will upload the tasks for each day the evening before (For example, Mondays work will be uploaded on Sunday evening etc.) so that you can prepare it in advance if necessary.

Also, I will also be adding some additional work for maths to either support or extend the learning in case you have been finding the work too challenging or not challenging enough.

Finally, for topic I will be uploading a lesson each week for you to complete which will be the same as they are doing in school. Alongside this, I will upload an additional selection of activities weekly, linked to that week’s topic lessons.

As you know, you are not expected to complete all of the work I upload, you can choose how much you feel you are able to do. Please keep uploading your work to your class teacher in the way you usually do and don't hesitate to get in touch with them with any questions you have.
 

Keep working hard and enjoy yourself!

Miss Charlesworth

Home Learning - Week 1 - Week Commencing 1.6.20

Keep sending Mrs Roe and Mrs Brookes the work you are completing at home as they love to see what you're getting up to. 
 

Phonics
Follow the link to Ruth Miskin's phonics videos.
All the sets of sounds are resetting at half term which is fine for the children to go over sounds they have already learnt. Here is the link: https://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/find-out-more/parents/
 

Literacy
Read the story Farmer Duck and follow this talk for writing sequence each day. 

History Topic

This term our new topic is 'Invasions and Battles'. 
To start off, this week you have a quick question sheet to check what you may already know. When we do these in school we don't do any teaching beforehand. We read the questions to the children and then allow them to write down their answer without any prompts. It's a nice to look back on this at the end of the topic to see how much the children learned throughout the term. 

Another little task for this topic that you can start doing is collecting materials such as cardboard boxes(different sizes), toilet roll tubes, paper, pens and any other items you think might be useful for creating a 3D building (I'm not letting slip what type of building just yet). We will be doing this in a few weeks time so you have plenty of time to collect things. 

Materials

We looked round the classroom and found objects made out of wood, metal, plastic and glass.

Which objects are transparent and which are opaque? We sorted them but decided some pictures needed to be changed. Can you guess which ones?

Today we used number cards to find out patterns in number sentences. What can you guess you see? We looked at the biggest numbers and which numbers swapped around. 

Christmas DT project

We have used our DT skills to make a Christmas stocking with felt and wool. We sewed our designs together and sold them at the Christmas Fayre. 

Remembrance Day

Today we used our DT skills to sew our own poppy to wear. We learnt all about why we war poppies and observed a 2 minutes silence. 

Art

We started this half term with a focus on art and a specific artist Clarice Cliff. We looked at her designs and copied them using paint, pen and crayon. We also made our own clay paints and designed a pattern in the style of Clarice Cliff and painted onto them. 

Maths

Our Maths topic has focused on grouping, counting and putting numbers in order. We grouped children, objects and pictures. We have also used different equipment to help us with our counting. 

Roald Dahl Day 2019

We celebrated Roald Dahl Day 2019 by dressing up as our favourite character from a Roald Dahl book or in his favourite colour yellow. There were some amazing costumes. We had creative day making a 'Giant Peach,' the BFG's ears and patterns of Willy Wonka's sweets.
