Year 2 Home Learning Challenges - Thursday 2nd April

We are nearing the end of another busy week, and of course, the Easter break. Keep up the superb work Year 2 - you are all making me burst with pride.

Reading

Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading tabs in the ‘How to help your child’ section.

Complete the reading comprehension attached below:

English

Using the plan you created on Monday, write your problem/dilemma. Remember, this is the really exciting part of your chapter. Use super adjectives to describe the disguise and even try to use adverbs - silently, Stanley waited in the picture frame.

Grammar focus for the problem/dilemma - include commas to make a list. This would fit perfectly when describing the disguise - for example, Stanley was wearing a big, blonde curly wig, a stripy gown and was holding a cuddly teddy under his right arm.

Year 3 Thursday 2nd April Learning from Home

Good morning everyone. We hope that you are ready to learn.

Have you spotted a theme in the pictures we have used this week? What can you see growing in your garden or in other people’s gardens when you are going for a walk. Can you name any of the flowers that you can see? My favourite ones are daffodils. They always look so happy.

You are probably getting into a great routine by now and learning from home is hopefully not so strange. Remember to keep helping around the house and doing things that make others smile. Remember be generous and grateful.

Reading

Lots of lovely reading again today please. Don’t forget to quiz if you have finished a book. There’s lots of super scores coming through to us. Keep thinking carefully and making sure that you answer the quiz questions correctly. Well done everyone. Cooper Crab learning points for all those who get 100% on a quiz.

Sumdog/IXL

Don’t forget these challenges. Play some of the games on Sumdog (Had any burgers lately?) and have a go at some of the units on addition and subtraction on IXL.

Maths

Roll a dice three times and make a 3 digit number. Write it down. Roll the dice twice again and either add it to the first number or subtract it. Make sure that you line up the columns carefully. Check whether you have to exchange and make sure that you do this carefully. (Make sure that you take the bottom number from the top number when subtracting - BE CAREFUL!!!)

(To generate numbers if you don’t have any dice check out Monday’s Home Learning blog)

English

Today I would like you to have a look at this non chronological report about Italy, read it carefully.

In each paragraph there are some errors—can you spot what they are? In your home learning book write down what you notice.

Art

It’s Thursday again so check out Year 3’s art page and do the challenge that Mrs Curtis has set you. Have fun and don’t forget to send us some pictures.

Year 3 Wednesday 1st April 2020

Really sorry there have been no photos of today’s learning from home posted on our class blog and also that we have not replied to any of your emails, the Lancashire website has been down today and we have not been able to access our emails to get your photos. Hopefully it will be up and running again soon and we will be able to post all of the photos that have not been posted today.

We hope that you have had a lovely day of learning and we look forward to seeing all of your photos as soon as we can.

Keep smiling and doing all of those helpful jobs around the home.

Take care and stay safe.

Hi everyone. We are back!!!

Here are the photos from today’s learning at home. I have to say you are all becoming so creative and talented in the kitchen. I just wish you all did take away service. I love the look of all those ice lollies. (What happened to the sunshine?????)

Reception home learning for Wednesday 1st April

1. PE with Joe Wicks—Start your day with a fun workout (https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1/videos )

2. Phonics: Please continue to practise one of those tricky sounds that you identified last week.

For the rest of this week I would like you to focus on recognising the tricky words: I, the, to and me.

There are many fun activities that you could do to help your child to build their familiarity with these tricky words such as:

· Creating a bingo board using these words along with other 3/4 letter words. This could be a fun and competitive game for the family.

· Reading and spotting these words in stories

· Practise writing these words in fun ways: Using squeezy bottles of water outside, to write the words on the floor painting the words, gluing and sticking objects over the written word, icing biscuits and adding choc chips to spell out the words.

· Play the game 4 corners either inside or outside (always a fun game but it does need a few participants).

· Creating the words using Lego.

· Using your Purple mash login and creating a tricky word picture using 2Paint.

3. Sum Dog: Today we have a new challenge to complete, comparing numbers to 10. This challenge will be available to use until Friday.

4. Home reading: I have been busy trying to find some suitable home reading books that you can access online. It seems as though Oxford Owl have released many free online reading books. You will need to sign up here: https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/

and then follow this link:

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/?view=image&query=&type=book&age_group=&level=rwi+phonics+green&level_select=rwi+phonics+green&book_type=&series=#

This should take you to the Green level reading books that match to our Read Write Inc scheme in school. Please start reading the Green books to re-build your child’s confidence when blending sounds. Following the green books you can move onto the purple books and then moving onto pink. Any difficulties just email me.. I hope this works it will be a great way to keep the children reading books at the correct level!

*** Keep saving some toilet roll tubes, cereal boxes, bottle lids etc. ready for Friday’s learning challenge.***

Year 2 Home Learning Challenges - Wednesday 1st April

Good morning Year 2! My goodness, I can’t quite believe that we are here at the start of a brand new month. I hope you are up and ready for the new day ahead. Yesterday, I started my day once again with Joe’s PE session. Well done to those who are managing to complete this every morning, it’s unbelievably tiring!

Phonics

Reading

Continue reading and quizzing on books using the Accelerated Reading tabs in the ‘How to help your child’ section.

English

Using the plan you created on Monday, write the build up of your chapter. Don’t forget all of those super verbs and adjectives to keep your chapter interesting and exciting. For example - using shouted instead of said, or gloomy instead of sad.

Grammar focus for the build up:

Use compound sentences in your chapter using ‘so’ and ‘or’ - Flat Stanley heard Mr Dart chatting in the lift so he came up with an idea. Stanley could go to the museum and help Mr Dart or he could stay at home and do nothing.

Happy April Fool’s Day!

English - Writing your Dragon Slayer Story

Today it is time to write the dilemma. What does the Dragon Slayer DO to show he is in a dilemma? Why is he in a dilemma? Write this paragraph including some speech-dialogue and show the reader how he feels. You can still use extended noun phrases to describe the little baby dragon. Aaaah!

Maths

Today we re going to learn another new skill - multiplying a two digit number by a one digit number using THE EXTENDED METHOD. It is really important that you do this just as I teach you, rather than skipping to the next step.

New Sum Dog challenge set today Practising x and divide.

there is a Purple mash time 2 do - if you have time!

Daily Reading

I hope you have a really good book you are enjoying like me! Don’t forget to quiz!

Year 3 Wednesday 1st April Learning from Home

Good Morning everyone, and welcome to another day of learning from home.

Put a smile on your face, a sparkle in your eyes and let’s get working! Have fun!

Did you know that April 1st is known as April Fools’ Day? Can you find out anything about what it is about? You could even have a bit of fun with this. (Kind fun of course - keep everyone happy!!!) Let us know what you get up to.

This morning we would like you to:

Read

Can you find a factual book on the free ebooks today? Choose an insect book or a plant book, it could help you with your Science today. Have a read and then take a quiz. Think carefully when quizzing - try to make sure you answer the questions carefully and try to get 100%. You can do it!

Sumdog

Try out the challenges. Have you played all of the different games yet or do you have a favourite? Why not try playing a different one - it might even become your new favourite!!!

Maths

Roll a dice three times and make a 3 digit number. Write it down. Roll just one dice again and either add it to the first number or subtract it. Make sure that you line up the columns carefully. Check whether you have to exchange and make sure that you do this carefully. (Make sure that you take the bottom number from the top number when subtracting - BE CAREFUL!!!)

(If you don’t have a dice check how to generate numbers on line from Monday’s home learning blog)

English

Part 1 - Today I would like you to check and correct any spelling mistakes in your Italy work from yesterday so that your notes are all ready to use for later in the week.

Part 2 - Please spend some time practising your spellings for this week too

famous guide promise favourite possible continue

What about getting a pot of water and a paintbrush and writing them on the garden flags or writing them in chalk?

Science

This week’s Science is all about careful observation. You don’t need to write anything down unless you want to. Just make sure that you are observing carefully and talking about what you have seen. Reading (from books or finding out on the internet) is also an important aid in this week’s Science lesson.

Look out for signs of spring when you are outside - what do you notice? Can you see the changes that are taking place? Talk to your grown up about the changes that you can see. Keep looking every day to see if you can see anything different happening. (Keep a log of these if you want)

Make sure that you are using your senses to help you. What can you smell, hear and feel too? (Don’t go around tasting unless your grown up says it is okay).

Have you noticed anything about the days just recently? Look what time the sun comes up and goes down on the weather app. Check this out every day for a few days - what do you notice?

With all the sunshine we have had lately there are lots of lovely flowers beginning to grow. Look out for them in the garden or when you are out on a walk. How many can you identify and name? Have you read any amazing facts about these in the books you have read this week? If not why not look up some of these on the internet and see what you can find out about them.

With so many flowers around, there are many more insects. I’ve seen bumble bees, butterflies, beetles, woodlice, ants and midges in my garden. Which insects can you spot? Again can you find out any amazing facts about them?

You could even draw a picture of any flowers or insects you see if you want.

Some of you have been planting in the garden. Maybe you could plant some seeds and watch them grow over the coming weeks. You could take photos as things begin to grow.

Have fun!

Year 2's second week of home learning

Good afternoon Year 2.

I hope that you all had a restful weekend and had a great start to the new week yesterday.

Here are more snapshots of your superb learning from home. I have also included some photographs of my mischievous puppy Winston exploring the house - see if you can spot him.

Stay safe.

Missing you all lots,

Miss Woodend

Hi Year 4! Tuesday 31st March

Betty and Jinxy cat say hello and tell you they are being quite well-behaved (apart from 1 mouse and a couple of spiders)

I have put the latest lovely learning pictures below. I have also been on looking at reading targets this morning. So far this term, these children have met their targets:

Lily A, Faye, Lorna-Jane, Victor, Elise, Sophie, Fin. Well done children - I have set you new targets! Hope I haven’t missed anyone!

A lot of you are nearly there. Don’t forget you can quiz from home and there’s lots of good books you can actually read on screen in Accelerated reader"

Year 3 Tuesday 31st March Photos from your Learning at Home

Thank you to all of you who are sending us photos of your learning from home. We love to see them and hope that you are all having fun.

We’re loving the pictures of your French ice lollies. They look sooooo delicious.

We’re also loving the photos of the meals that you are helping to prepare. Well done for helping around the house - make sure that you help to tidy the kitchen afterwards.

Keep sending us your photos please.

Reception home learning for Tuesday 31st March

1. PE with Joe Wicks—Start your day with a fun workout (https://www.youtube.com/user/thebodycoach1/videos )

2. Phonics: Please continue to practise one of those tricky sounds that you identified last week.

Don’t forget to practise this weeks “To do” on Purple mash. The children need to read the word and choose either ‘m’ or ‘n’ to complete the word, by dragging the letter into place. Today is the last day for this challenge to be completed.

(Remember: Purple mash logins are on Reception’s home page under the tab, “Websites to use whilst learning at home”)

3. PE: We were so fortunate with the weather last week, I loved seeing all of the photos with the children learning outside having lots of fun! Football was a great hit so I would like you to continue to practise this today (weather permitting).

4. Sum Dog: Today is the last day to complete this weeks first challenge. If you’ve already had a go don’t forget that you can keep practising this skill, seeing if you can better your score.

5. 30 Day Lego challenge: A couple of our friends have started on the Lego challenge already, let’s all take part!

*** Please save some toilet roll tubes, cereal boxes, bottle lids etc. These will be needed for Friday’s learning challenge. I thought that it would be fun to use our creativity to create a new friend/monster/robot. And then to send me a picture of your creation that I can upload onto the end of week blog.***

Miss Bassett.

Year 3 Tuesday 31st March 2020 Learning from Home

Good morning everyone. We hope that you are all well and ready to learn.

Have you checked out the weekly challenges? There’s a lovely one to go with your French work this week. (Tasty too!)

Reading

Read in a quiet space and don’t forget to quiz if you are ready to. Send us a picture of you reading so that we can share it. (Tomorrow your science will involve insects and plants, so maybe have a look at the e-books and find a suitable one). Don’t forget to quiz.

Sumdog

Which challenges can you nail today? Have you tried playing against anyone yet?

Maths - using column addition and subtraction

Roll a dice twice and make a 2 digit number. Write it down. Roll the dice twice again and either add this number to the first number or subtract one from the other (make sure that you start with the greatest number and subtract the lower number) Make sure that you line up the columns carefully. Check whether you have to exchange and make sure that you do this carefully. (Make sure that you take the bottom number from the top number when subtracting - BE CAREFUL!!!) (If you don’t have dice check out yesterday’s home learning for how to generate numbers on line).

English

Today, I would like you to start doing some research into the country of Italy, as we will be writing our non chronological report about it later in the week.

Part 1

Use the internet or any books you have at home to read about Italy. As you are reading I would  like you to write notes, today we are writing only notes rather than full sentences.

i.e Capital—Rome

As well as practising the skill of reading and taking notes I would like the children to practise listening and taking notes.

Part 2

Parents—with part of the information you have found pick a paragraph to read aloud to your child. Please read a sentence at a time to your child and allow them some time to write down some notes from what they have heard.

Parents please make sure that you think carefully about search terms you are typing into the search engine, so that children see the appropriate kind of information about Italy rather than what may be happening there right now.

Please research these areas and write notes in sections on your page in your home learning book

• Where is Italy? Which continent is it in? Which countries surround it? Which oceans surround it?

• Food

• Weather

• Landmarks and physical features - rivers, mountains, volcanoes etc

• Religion

• National celebrations

Then write down one really interesting fact that you found out today (it doesn’t have to be about any of these areas I have given ) —remember in note form.

French

Since we normally do French on a Tuesday and today is Tuesday, here is some French for you to do.

We would like you to watch the You Tube clip “J’aime les fruits” — click the button and learn the names of the different fruits. Sing–a–long with the song and learn the names as you sing.

You could also watch the first part of You Tube video on vocabulary to learn the names of more fruit and veg too.

Can you either print off the sheets here and match the names to the pictures? (if you have a printer) or you could draw yourself some pictures of fruit and vegetables (just like on the sheet) and write the names in French underneath. Make sure that you copy carefully.

If there’s any fruit or vegetables on the sheet that weren’t on the videos then maybe you could investigate what they are on the internet. Have fun!
