If you are unable to print the activities, packs are available every Monday to collect from the office. Please let the office know if you would like to start collecting these.

Friday 5th February

It's Dress to Express day! Don't forget to choose an outfit today to express yourself. 

What a great week it has been. Children at school and home have been working really hard- parents YOU ARE NEARLY AT HALF TERM, well done :) It's lovely hearing about the work that you've been doing at home- whether that's by email or phone call and it's great to hear how you have been accessing the work on here. 

 

Subject Task and Online Resources       CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH WEEK;     Don.t forget your daily acts of kindness,
Maths

Please start your Maths learning with some quick mental arithmetic. If you have access to a PC/tablet, this should be using the 'daily 10' activity (see link) Please focus on level 1 or level 2- the idea is that your children are able to solve these problems quickly and fluently not for them to need a lot of support.  

Daily 10 - Mental Maths Challenge - Topmarks 

Warm your brain up by joining in with this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Sob3PyvvTQ  

Today we will be solving division calculations mentally. For this you will need your fingers (because fingers are very handy). Watch Miss Ellgood demonstrate how we mentally solve division calculations and then have a go at solving some on the activity below.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYICBRXwUEc&t=4ss Remember we use the term ‘shared by’ as well as ‘divided by’ to help children understand what it actually involves. 

To finish the week test your division knowledge on ‘Hit the Button’ and choose to divide by 2,3, 5 or 10..

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zx882hv/articles/zsqnfg8 

Learn how camels are adapted to their habitat. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zchxpv4 

Due to the human's actions causing global warming, deserts are getting even hotter which is making it hard for animals to survive.  

 

Look at the fact files about the desert animals: scorpion, tortoise, camel and rattlesnake. Complete the fact table answering the questions on the activity below- 

What do they weigh? 

How long/tall are they? 

What do they eat? 

Write an interesting fact about the animal.  

RE

What would it be like if no one cared for our world or us? 

Listen to the song “Thinking of a world without any flowers”   

Think about what the words mean. 

Reflect on all of the things that make a world a beautiful place and the importance of everyone looking after it. 

Draw a picture to illustrate if you wish.

Miss Ellgood enjoyed seeing some of you on Zoom yesterday! If you haven't joined a session before why not give it a go next Wednesday? There is no obligation to talk, you can just listen. If you wish to join for the first time make sure you have filled out the Zoom form so that we can email you the pass code. 

Please be aware that although we are setting a full day of work each day, we do not want you to feel overwhelmed.

*The pond 

*The trees

PE

As it is mental health week, try warming up to a song of your choice- dancing is a great way to express yourself! Alternatively you could warm up to 'Uptown Funk' - this is a song that always makes me feel good and a dance that I enjoyed making up as a way of expressing myself. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0gG8YNJ8eU&t=13s

This week we are going to continue to complete the activities from this circuit below- you may have already started recording your results which is great!  You should spend just one minute (60 seconds) on each activity. 

Target aim (throw something into a hoop/ a different target...be creative!) See how many you get in. 

*Sit ups 

*Catches (beanbag/ball or whatever you have access to) this could be how many catches you can do by yourself or with someone else.  

*Shuttle runs (see how many times you can run from one marker to another (this can be done in a small space). Don’t forget to ‘pivot’ when you are turning. 

Just like last week, record how many you did of each (see optional table to record on below). Take a look at your results. What have you improved in over the last 5 weeks? What could you improve at? 

At the end of the session make sure you cool down. This slows down breathing and your heart rate as well as returns your muscles to their normal length to avoid stiffness and sire muscles the next day.  Use these videos for your cool down.

Music

As it is Children’s Mental Health Week this week,  I thought it would be good to remind ourselves of the song ‘It’s OK! Just say’. Sing or sign along depending on where you are and really listen to the message that the words are telling you. Remember, to talk to someone if you are not feeling OK.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaIuIhsN44Y

 I also have a new song for you to learn. First of all, click on the link below to warm up your bodies and voices. Make you sure you have clicked on the tab ‘Find the Pulse’ and have fun following the actions.

Now, click on this link to listen to the chorus and follow the words. When you are confident have a go at joining in.

https://charanga.com/resources/36874-learn-to-sing-the-song-bringing-us-together

This week is going to be a bit noisy! We will be thinking about how you can turn objects around the house into musical instruments! You will need a saucepan and 2 wooden spoons. If you can’t use these, find anything around the house that you can turn into a drum. Remember to check with your grown-ups first!

Maths

Please start your Maths learning with some quick mental arithmetic. If you have access to a PC/tablet, this should be using the 'daily 10' activity (see link) Please focus on level 1 or level 2- the idea is that your children are able to solve these problems quickly and fluently not for them to need a lot of support.  

Daily 10 - Mental Maths Challenge - Topmarks 

 

Today we will be looking at odd and even numbers. Please take a look at the powerpoint below (or watch the video and listen to Miss Ellgood going through it.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYICBRXwUEc

We can find out if a number is odd or even by sharing the amount by 2. If the amount can be shared into pairs then it is even, if it can’t then it is odd. The other way we can see if a number is even is if it has 0,2,4,6,8 units. 

Get some counters (or make some) and share these amounts into pairs to see if they are odd or even: 

7,1,15,4,3,20,6,13 

Now have a go at these questions from the powerpoint: 

 

Question 1: If you add an even number and an even number together, what type of number do you get? 

Question 1: If you add an odd number and an odd number together, what type of number do you get? 

Question 1: If you add an odd number and an even number, what do you get? 

 

Have a go at this fun odd and even game to end your lesson https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/coconut-odd-or-even

  Where in the World? 

Recapping on all of the different regions we have been learning about, our locality, oceans, the polar regions and the deserts which would be your favourite place to be? 

Would you want to be a fish living in our beautiful oceans? Or would that be too scary?  Would you want to live in a place where it is always hot?     

Choose your favourite place and write some sentences telling us why you would want to live there. 

 

 

Mental Health Week

Mental health week circle time activity.

Remember it is always good to talk no matter who you are, grown ups can join in with this activity too.

Here are some ideas you can try with your group to help children express themselves: Circle time Sitting in a circle (or online if children are not physically in the same space), or with other family members. everyone takes a turn sharing something with the group. Warm up with simple ideas, like asking children to share their likes, dislikes and something about themselves. For example, go around the circle saying: 

 

My favourite colour is...  

If I had an hour of free time then I would...  

When I am older, I would like to...  

One food I don’t like is...  

Something you might not know about me is... 

How do you like to express yourself?

 

Next, ask the children/child  to imagine they got stuck on an island for a day (don’t worry, a ship comes to rescue you).

Take turns or ask for volunteers to answer the following questions:( Everyone is encouraged to be supportive and attentive when others share.) 

 What music would you like to hear playing?  

What food would you like to find on the island?  

How would you spend the day?  

If you had art materials with you,  what would they be and what would you make? 

What would be your something special you would take with you and why?

 

Draw a picture to illustrate your ideas if you wish.
