Phonics Home Learning

Please join in with the daily live session of Read Write Inc on YouTube.  In Wrekin we are focussing on set 3.

Maths Home Learning

We are going to start our maths session off with counting to 100.  Please join in with our counting song – the counting and actions. 

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 class.  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.
