Good morning Lawley!
I hope you are all well and enjoying taking part in your home learning. I’m really impressed with the effort you are putting in, keep it up!
Here are our home learning activities for today.
Phonics Home Learning
Please join in with the daily live session of Read Write Inc on YouTube, we are covering set 3.
Maths Home Learning
Let’s start our maths lesson off by counting in tens. Please join in with the song, then write down all counting in tens numbers up to 100 forwards and backwards.
Today we are going to continue with our unit on Multiplication and Division. Let’s watch this video for today’s session on multiplication using pictures.
Spr2.1.5 – Multiplication sentences using pictures from White Rose Maths on Vimeo.
Now, let’s complete the worksheet. Remember, if you cannot print the sheet off, please write your answers with the question numbers so we can see your fantastic maths learning.
Cheeky Challenge: Now you have completed our maths lesson, have a go at our mastery, digging deeper question.
English Home Learning
We are going to start our English session by thinking of as many adjectives to describe my animal below. Remember, adjectives are describing words.
Today, we are going to continue with our book, What We’ll Build by Oliver Jeffers. Please start by listening to Miss Wright read this story.
Our focus today is to think and consider what makes a home and how homes can be different. First, look at the slides below.
Please answer the questions, first of all by sharing your ideas with someone in your household, like we do with partner talk. Then write down your answers using full sentences with capital letters, full stops and using your phonics and neat handwriting.
Now, listen to this song, Our House by Crosby, Stills and Nash.
Please now read the slide below, discuss your thoughts, then write your answers down in full sentences.
Cheeky Challenge: Who lives in your home and what is special about your home?
Please remember to complete your daily reading and spelling practise.
Science Home Learning
To start our science lesson today, we are going to play Odd One Out. Look at the photographs of the three homes below:
Write down the similarities and the differences between all three homes. Think about the materials used to make the homes, how the homes have been made and who uses the homes. Is there an odd one out? If so, why or why not?
Today we are going to be looking at floating and sinking. Think about our Bible Story this week, Noah’s Ark. Noah built his Ark for many animals, it was big and heavy, but it still floated in the floods.
How and why do you think Noah’s Ark floated in the flood water?
Today, you are going to carry out your own experiment and let me know your results. First, ask a grown up for a bowl or box of water. Keep it on a flat surface like a table.
Next, I would like you to make a boat out of materials you have at home. For example, you could use:
- foil
- paper
- card
- cling film
- fabric
Just make a rough boat shape, don’t worry about it being exactly like a boat. Look at my example below:
Now, I would like you to make a prediction. Remember, a prediction is having a good, sensible guess at which material you think will float the best. Look at all the materials, feel them and use your senses to make your prediction. I would like your sentence to be:
I predict ………………………… will be the best material to float because …………..
Now, it is experiment time! You are now going to place one of the boats in the water and see which floats and which sinks. Some of the materials may stay afloat for a minute or two, then sink. Observe each boat for five minutes before writing up your results. Why do you think these results have happened?
I would like you to write up your results like we do in class. Have a look at my example below:
Floating or sinking experiment
Remember, to take photographs of your experiment so I can see what fun you are having!
Cheeky Challenge: How do we make sure we carry out our experiments fairly?
Have a great day Lawley. Stay safe and keep in touch.
