Now, write your numbers from zero to one hundred, remembering to make sure your numbers are the correct way round.

In maths today we are going to focus on a Noah’s Ark problem.  Here is a picture of animals and the maths problem for you to solve:

Please solve the maths problem, this is one where you need to have a good think and use your number knowledge.  Good luck and remember to share your answers with me.

Cheeky Challenge: We have 30 children in Lawley.  How many legs are there in total?

English Home Learning

To start our English session, I would like you to think of as many adjectives to describe my picture below (remember adjectives are describing words):

For the next few weeks in English we will be focusing our work on a book by Oliver Jeffers called What We’ll Build.  This is something we are doing as a whole school.  Let’s start by listening to the story, read by Miss Wright.

Our activity today is to make inferences based on a picture, what this means is that you will be answering questions based on looking at a picture, where the answers will be.

Let’s have a look at the page of the book below:

Based on this page, we are now going to have a think and answer the questions below.  Discuss these with someone at home first, see if they agree with you, just like we do in class with partner talk.  Then, write down your answers and share them with me.

Cheeky Challenge: What would you like to build with your hands and why?

Please remember to carry out your daily reading and your daily spellings practise.

RE Home Learning

Over the next two weeks, and as a whole school, we are going to be focussing on the bible story, Noah’s Ark.

Let’s start by listening to this bible story.

Today, we are going to be making characters to perform this bible story.  I would like you to draw the characters, cut them out and use them to tell the story through role play.  You might have other equipment at home to make your characters from, such as lolly pop sticks, craft things, cardboard.  Here are some template ideas, but please be as creative as you can.

Once you have your characters ready, practise and perform your role play.  Ask someone at home to take pictures or record your version of Noah’s Ark.  I cannot wait to see these!

Have a great day, stay safe and keep in touch.

Good morning Lawley, and happy Friday!  I hope you are all well and staying safe and well.  I wanted to say a huge well done to those who have been completing their home learning tasks.  There are still so many of you I have not heard from, please do get in touch.  Well done and thank you to Jamie, Anabel, Indi, Alfie, Hanna, Miti K, Miti T, Kaden, Leyton, Ollie, Sienna, Simon, Odin, Elisa, Alex, Scarlett, Teya, Amelia and Jessie for being in contact and working extremely hard.  Let’s add more names to the list next week!

Maths Home Learning

Today I would like you to start my joining in with our counting in twos song.  Once you have done this, please write your counting in twos numbers up to 50.

Today we are going to continue with our multiplication and division unit by making equal groups.  This is where we make a certain number of groups, with each group containing the same amount. 

For example, I have five pots and each pot contains 3 grapes.  This means I have five equal groups of 3.

Let’s start by watching the video: 

Spr2.1.2 – Make equal groups from White Rose Maths on Vimeo.

Now we have looked at the concept of making equal groups, I would like you all to complete the questions on the following worksheet. Remember, you can write these on a piece of paper.

07.01.21 Worksheet

Cheeky Challenge: Now you have completed the worksheet on making equal groups, have a go at the cheeky challenge below:

English Home Learning

To start with, I would like you all to think of as many words that contain our special friend ‘oy, toy for a boy.’

I was really impressed with the stories I was sent yesterday, you have been working hard!  Today, I would like you to watch the film, The Butterfly Book by Michael Leunig:

What did you enjoy about the video?  How do you think the man felt when the butterflies came out of the book?  How would you feel if a book came alive?

I would now like you to read the description based on the video:

Your activity for today is to write your own description of the video clip.  I want you to think about what you see, how you would feel, and use your senses – what you see, hear, feel, taste and touch.

Remember, you must use:

• capital letters
• full stops
• phonics
• finger spaces
• adjective
• neat handwriting

Cheeky Challenge:  Which book would you like to come alive and why?

Science Home Learning

To start with, I want you to have a think about:

Think about the following questions:

Would you like humans to hibernate?  Why, why not?

In Science we have been learning about animals, including humans.  We have already looked at the lifecycle of a frog, today we are going to be learning about the lifecycle of a butterfly.

Please watch the video below:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/science-ks1-animal-life-cycles/zrg9kmn

Now, I would like to create your own poster showing the lifecycle of a butterfly.  Your poster needs to include the different stages in pictures, with a caption under each picture telling what each stage is.  All information can be found in the video above, or you could carry out your own research.

Have a good day Lawley.  Please remember to send me your work.  Keep in touch and stay safe.

Good morning Lawley!

I hope you are all well and staying safe.  Here is our home learning for today.

Phonics

Please join in with the set 3 phonics session on the Read Write Inc YouTube page.

Maths Home Learning

Let’s start our maths session by counting to 100.  Join in with the song below, then write down numbers from 0 to100 independently.  Remember to make sure your numbers are the correct way round!

Let’s Get Fit | Count to 100 | Count to 100 Song | Counting to 100 | Jack Hartmann – YouTube

This term we are going to be learning about multiplication and division.  We carry this out by sharing things in equal groups.  Today, we are going to concentrate on recognising equal groups.  

What does equal mean?

Yes, well done, equal means the same, so two equal groups would have the same number of items in them.

Let’s watch the learning video together:

Spr2.1.1 – Recognise equal groups from White Rose Maths on Vimeo.

Now you have watched the video, have a go at completing the worksheet.  Do not worry about printing the worksheet out, you can complete this on a piece of paper.

06.01.21 Worksheet

Cheeky Challenge:  Have a go at the two cheeky challenge cards below using your knowledge of recognising equal groups.

English Home Learning

To start with, I would like you to spend 1 minute writing down as words as you can think of that rhyme with ‘make’.

Today, we are going to be writing a story based on a picture.  Can you tell me what i expect to see in all our writing?

Yes well done:

• capital letters
• finger spaces
• full stops
• phonics
• neat handwriting

Today, I would also like you to use adjectives – describing words, these will make your story sound really interesting!

Look at this picture and think about the following questions:

• What do you think will happen to the girl with the red balloon? 
• Where will they go?
• Why has the girl got a red balloon?

Now it is time for you to write your story.  Your story is going to start from the girl getting the red balloon and what happens next.  Please remember to check the list above for the parts you need to include.  Once you have finished, read through your work to make sure you have included everything and it makes sense before you send it me.  I can not wait to read your stories, you all have such great imagination!

Cheeky Challenge: On the wall it says ‘there is always hope.’  What do you think this might mean?

Art Home Learning

Today, I would like you to create a piece of artwork based on your story from English.  The original picture is of a little girl with a red balloon.  Your picture must show me one part of your story.  You need to include detail, take your time, and if possible, use colour.  The picture I have used is by an artist called Banksy, if possible, research Banksy, then create your picture based on his technique.  Send me a picture of your artwork once complete.

We’ve had a great afternoon in Lawley with our Christmas party.  We danced, sang, played games and had lots of food.  We even had a visit from Father Christmas!
