Science Home Learning week starting 22nd June

Watch this video ‘shooting sprouts’ it shows seeds germinating.

Click on the link below to watch the video:

http://explorify.wellcome.ac.uk/en/activities/whats-going-on/shooting-sprouts/classroom?view-type=public

Encourage your children to talk about what they see happening. The root appears first from each seed, followed by a shoot and the first leaves.

Activity:

Why not try to germinate some seeds from fruit or vegetables. You could collect a few seeds from some fruit such as a tomato or a melon and make a plant pot by recycling a carton, yoghurt pot or just some rolled-up paper. Make sure you keep any compost moist and that each pot is able to drain water away easily. Keep an eye on your unusual pots and see how long the seeds take to germinate. Remember to take photographs and send them to me if you can!

Good morning!

We are going to focus on adjectives which compare. Watch this short video:

Adjectives are word which describe e.g. red, small, tall.

We are going to look at adding the suffix – er to an adjective e.g. tall-taller.

t-l-52524-year-1-suffix-er-word-mat

 

The suffix is the ending and the main word is called the root word or sometimes the base word.

Can you see the comparative adjectives in red?

Here are some activities for you to download to practise adding the suffix -er.

Finally, I hope that you enjoy listening to this story all about ‘Someone Bigger’!

I hope that you enjoyed the rainforest activities yesterday. Today I would like you to listen to the story ‘Rumble in the Jungle’ by Giles Andreae:

 

The tree frog, spider monkey and boa constrictor are just some of the
animals that can be found living in a rainforest.

Can you list verbs (action
words) to describe how each animal moves. How many can you think of?

Now put these into full sentences. Here is an example:

The cheeky spider monkey swings through the trees.

How many animals can you think of? Can you collect words to describe how each animal moves (verbs)
