Today we will bring all that we have learnt this week together to make our dinosaur posters.  Watch the video link below to see how we can combine all the different parts to make the poster.

Remember to include

• A catch title.
• A diagram with labels.
• Pictures
• Questions and answers.

We will also be looking to see if all the sentences have a capital letter and either a full stop or question mark.  Make sure your poster is presented neatly so formed your letters correctly.

Today we will measure the height of dinosaurs. We use the words tall and short when comparing height.  Watch the video clip below to remind yourself how these words are used.  Then play the interactive game ordering the beanstalks from shortest to tallest. First you will need to measure the height of the dinosaurs.  Which dinosaur is the tallest?  Which dinosaur is the shortest?  Cut out the dinosaurs and order them from tallest to shortest. Now write some facts under the dinosaurs using the language, tallest, taller, shorter, shortest.

For example, the red dinosaur is the tallest.

Remember when we measure the length of an object we use the words long and short.  Watch the video clip below to remind yourself how these words are used.  Then go through the PowerPoint and see if you understand these words.  Today we will measure the length of dinosaurs and compare them using this vocabulary. First you will need to measure the length of the dinosaurs with your ruler. Yesterday we learnt how to use the ruler, if you can’t remember use the video from yesterday to remind yourself.

Which dinosaur is the longest?  Which dinosaur is the shortest?  Cut out the dinosaurs and order them from longest to shortest. Now write some facts under the dinosaurs using the language, longest, longer, shorter, shortest.

For example, the green dinosaur is longer than the yellow dinosaur.

Today we are starting to plan our poster by thinking of questions we want to answer about our dinosaur.  Think of the dinosaur your poster is going to be about. Now think of some questions you have about the dinosaur, for example What does it eat?  Re-watch the bitesize video (link below) to remind yourself how to write a question.  Remember every question needs an answer.  Use the facts you collected yesterday in ICT to answer your questions.  Write the answers to your questions in a sentence.  Watch the short song below, notice how every question has an answer.  The question ends with a question mark and the answer has a full stop.

For example-

What does it eat?

A diplodocus is a herbivore, this means it eats plants.

History

Last week we found out about the famous dinosaur explorer Sue Hendrickson.  Sue was able to find the bones of a T-Rex and put them together.  Using the bones that are discovered we can find out about the dinosaur, what it looked like and what it ate.  Go through the attached PowerPoint and watch the short video below to find out about dinosaur teeth.  Now work like a dinosaur explorer. 

Activity 1:Sort the dinosaur skulls, were they a herbivore or carnivore?

Activity 2: Look at the pictures of dinosaur bones.  Can you identify which dinosaur they are from the bones?

It is really important that the words in a sentence are in the correct order so they make sense.  We always need to say the sentence out loud before writing it so we rehearse all the words we intend to write.  If we don’t do this we may miss out words.  Watch the video link below to see why it is so important that sentences make sense.  Then go through the Powerpoint to see if you can help unjumble the sentences. Now it is your turn, on the sheets below there are a series of questions that are all muddled, can you rearrange the word so that they make sense?  Remember look out for the capital letter and question mark, this will give you a clue to find the starting and ending word.  There are three levels below, complete the level that best suits your child.

Today we will continue to think about measuring, but focus on the height of objects. When we measure the height of something we use the words ‘taller’, ‘tallest’, ‘shorter’ and ‘shortest’. Watch the video link below to remind yourself how we can measure the height of objects using different objects.  Pick different objects from around your home and measure the height of them using objects like, paper clips and Lego bricks.  Use the words tallest, taller, shorter and shortest to compare them.

Teddy is shorter than spider man.

Spiderman is taller than teddy.

Music

Hello! It’s Miss Sanders here. I am going to really miss teaching you over the next few weeks and I know that when I can’t sing it sometimes makes me feel a little bit low, especially at the moment when things are so strange around us. So, for this week’s music activity I would like you to click on the link below and listen to the song ‘It’s OK! Please just say!”

Listen really carefully to the words and think about some of the things that make you happy. Talk to people at home to see if you can find time to try some of them at home over the next few weeks. Then learn some of the lyrics to sing along at home. Start with the chorus and then the rap towards the end.

Remember, that if you are not feeling OK then find someone to talk to. It may just make you feel better.

ICT

At this stage it is about becoming familiar with where the letters are on the keyboard and ensuring the children recognise the capital letter equivalent of the letter they need.

If you have access to a laptop or tablet we would like you to practise writing your name and these words:

cup, fox, quack, zip, plug, with.

If you have time you can explore how to use a capital letter. E.g. Holding the shift key and the letter you need or using caps lock.

This week we have been learning different ways of subtracting. Today, we would like to put our learning into a real life context.  Look at the word problems below, read the problems together and physically act out the problems. Use toys or other objects you have at home (you may not have everything in the pictures). You could even try to write the problem as a number sum if you really want to impress us. We would like you to complete at least 5. 

English

In English today, we would like you to practise using your phonics to spell words.  Look at the pictures attached below.  For each word, say the word, count the number of sounds in each word on your fingers, pinch the sounds then write it.  This is just how we do it in RWI sessions.  If you want to challenge yourself further try to use the word in a sentence.  If you really want to impress us then you may want to add a describing word and the word 'and' in your sentence. You do not need to complete all of the pictures. Choose the level which is most appropriate for your child.
