English
Look at the book and spot the breeds of dogs in the book. Consider other types of breeds of dogs that might be friends with Hairy Maclary. You may have a family dog that hasn’t been mentioned but if not, have a look online at different types. Watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKG89O05K5A . Pause and discuss each breed focusing on new vocabulary.
Ask - which dogs were your favourites and why? Choose a few. Next give them a name e.g. Patty poodle or Pete the pug. Write the names of the chosen dogs down using capital letters for names.
Discuss, using the information from the video what they might be like. Encourage real and made up personality traits drawing from the original character ideas. Write some sentences about your new dogs, e.g. Patty the Poodle is fluffy and likes to doodle. Pete the pug is all happy and smug. Note: The sentences do not have to rhyme but encourage the children to use the word ‘and’ to join ideas, e.g. Tiny Terry is loyal and friendly.
Check for capital letters for names and at the start of the sentence, as well as full stops at the end.
Reading
If you are yet to get your child on Epic Reading, its not too late to do so. Please email me on e.lane@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. I highly recommend you take advantage of this super resource.
Maths
Grown ups please go to the following website: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/ . Today I would like you to do Lesson 5 Step 4, Make Arrays, with your child. There is a short video for you to watch and discuss together. Please pause the video and give your child time to explain their reasoning to you. Following on from this, there is some questions for your child to answer.
If you have a cupcake tray, could you use this to make an array? Maybe you could even do some baking? Mmmm!
Enjoy!
Miss Lane
