P2 Week Beginning 8th June 2020: Suggested Learning Activities

Literacy

Phonics/Spelling

This week, we are looking at all of the sounds we have already learned that make the ‘A’ sound. These are ay,

ai and a-e.

ay usually comes at the end of a word, ai usually comes in the middle of a word. a-e (a magic ‘e’) usually

comes towards the end of a word

Some ay words are: day, tray, play, stay, prayer, way

Some ai words are: stair, hair, chair, rain, brain, train, stain

Some a-e words are: cake, came, spade, brake, name, sale

Watch the videos below to help you practise these sounds:

Kids vs Phonics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghd898RDjEM

Alphablocks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROKNNvuGpEo

Wake up, Shake up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCpobgrgReU

Our common words to revisit this week are: said could her before day away always today take gave cold

don’t

You can practise this new sound and common words any way you wish. Remember you have spelling strategies

on Teams and in your home learning packs. I have uploaded some ‘A’ activities onto Teams as well!

Challenge: Have a grown up give you some ‘A’ dictated sentences. Can you use the correct ‘A’ sound?

Extra Challenge: Use a dictionary or look online to see if you can find any more ‘A’ words!

Writing

We are focusing on writing a recount again this week. This is when you write about

something that has already happened. Look at the poster on Teams again to revisit

what is included in a recount.

I would like you to write about your favourite day that you have had in Primary 2.

You should aim to write about who, where, what, why and

when. This should be written in chronological order. This means that you write it in

the order your day happened, i.e. morning, afternoon, evening.

Remember to focus on time words, such as first, next, then, etc.

On Teams, go to Files, Literacy Resources, Writing, Recount to read 2 example recount

texts. This might help you to write your own recount”

Remember to check that you have met the success criteria below by traffic lighting.

Have you

written you

recount in the

order that it

happened?

Have you

used capital

letters?

Have you

used full

stops?

Have you used your

knowledge of sounds

and common words

to help you to spell?

Have you used

time order

words, such as

first, next,

then…

Have you checked over your

work once you have finished

to check spelling and

punctuation?

Numeracy

Information Handling

We are continuing to look at Information Handling this week.

Using your knowledge of tally charts and bar charts, you are going to complete your own mini information

handling project!

Step 1: Choose what data you would like to collect, e.g. family members favourite colours, amount of

different coloured cars in your streets… whatever you would like!

Step 2: Create a tally chart so you can collect your data. Remember you need to include headings and all of

the different options. A blank tally chart is on teams if you wish to use this to record your data.

Step 3: Collect your data or make up your data.

Step 4. Using the data from your tally chart, turn this into a bar chart. You will need a title, a heading along

the x axis and along the y axis, and a scale going up the side. Revisit your work on bar charts from last week

if you need a little reminder!

Step 5: Answer some questions about your data… e.g. which option is most/least popular, what is the

difference between the most and least popular? Etc. There are some questions on Teams you could use too!

(Files, Numeracy Resources, Information Handling, Mini Project).

I’m excited to see how you get on! Remember, if you have any question about this let me know.

Challenge: Make up data to use for your project.

Extra Challenge: Collect your own data to use for your project.

Core Number

This week we are going to practise our subtraction. Remember, when we subtract a number, the answer will

be smaller than the original number.

Have a grown up ask you some subtraction questions. You may wish to use concrete materials or a number

line/100 square to help you. Keep practising until you feel confident doing this. Can you then answer

subtraction calculations using bigger numbers?

These games can help you practise too!

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/subtraction-grids

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/mental-maths-train

Challenge: Practise your subtraction within 20.

Extra Challenge: Practise your subtraction within 50.

Extra Extra Challenge: Practise your subtraction within 100.

There are additional rounding activities on Teams if you wish to do these too!

(Files, Numeracy Activities, Addition and Subtraction, Subtraction)

Health & Wellbeing/ Other Curriculum Areas

Minibeasts

This week we are learning all about Spiders!

Our wonder questions were: What do they eat? What do they drink? Why do you get them inside and

outside? How many spiders are there? Where do they come from? When were they made/discovered? What

is the biggest spider?

• Watch this video all about spiders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTCJwemsQEA

• Can you find any other videos about spiders to watch?

• Can you find any answers to our wonder questions? Maybe you could look on the internet or in a book?

There is a PowerPoint on Teams with some of the answers too!

• Can you create your own spider web? This may be an art activity, or you could create one using string.

• Can you label the main body parts of a spider?

Please see our Teams page for activity sheets which may be used alongside these activities as well as some

additional tasks. (Files, Topics, Minibeasts, Spiders)

Remember these activities are only suggested and are there for you to access as and when you wish.

Health & Wellbeing

In class, we have spent a lot of time discussing why it is important that was talk about how we are feeling and

why we think we are feeling like that. This week, I would like you to try and complete the feelings cloud

below. At the end of each day, discuss with a grown up how you are feeling and why you think you are feeling

like that. Then colour in one of the raindrops to match this feeling.

Week Beginning 1st June 2020: Suggested Learning Activities P2

Literacy

Phonics/Spelling

This week, we are looking at 3 new sounds. These are ff and ll and appear in the middle or at the end of a

word. When there is a double letter sound, we only need to say the sound once and not twice.

Some ff words are: off, cliff, cuff, stiff, different

Some ll words are: well, spill, dull, drill, allow, shallow

Watch the videos below to help you practise these sounds:

Geraldine the Giraffe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0VL4Vn97n0

Mr Thorne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gbG2jyI8600

Our common words this week are: three room long tree will well fell call

You can practise this new sound and common words any way you wish. Remember you have spelling strategies

on Teams and in your home learning packs. I have uploaded some ff, ll activities onto Teams as well!

Challenge: List as many ff and ll words as you can and turn them into a flashcard game.

Extra Challenge: Can you use some ff and ll words in a sentence?

Writing

We are focusing on writing a recount this week. This is when you write about

something that has already happened.

I would like you to write about your favourite day in the past week and draw a

detailed picture to match.

You should aim to write about who, where, what, why and

when. This should be written in chronological order. This means that you write it in

the order your day happened, i.e. morning, afternoon, evening.

I would like you to focus on using time words this week, such as first, then, next,

finally. Remember to use adjectives as well to make your writing exciting!

Scan this QR code for a summary of what you need to include in a recount:

Just like in class, there is a checklist for you to traffic light to check that you have met the success criteria.

Have you

written you

recount in the

order that it

happened?

Have you

used capital

Numeracy


We are continuing to look at Information Handling this week.

This week we are going to focus on revising bar charts. A bar chart is a clear way to display information. We

can use the data collected in a tally chart and turn this into a bar graph.

Challenge: Create your own Bar Chart like the one above. A grown up could give you some data for you to turn

into a bar chart or you could collect this data yourself.

Extra Challenge: Try answering questions about the bar chart you have created. E.g. most/least popular,

difference between…

You could also have a go at the additional activities on Teams to practise creating and interpreting Bar

Charts too. (Files, Numeracy Resources, Information Handling, Bar Charts)

Core Number

We are going to look at rounding a number to the nearest 100 this week. Watch the video lesson I have

uploaded onto Teams. When we are rounding to the nearest 100, we need to look at the tens column, and not

the ones column this time.

Our rhyme is still useful to use to help us to know when to round higher or lower:

0 to 4, lower

5 to 9, up this time

Step 1. Identify the 100s number that is before and after the given number.

Step 2. Look at the number in the tens column.

Step 3. Using the tens column number, say the rhyme above to decide if you need to round lower or higher.

Have someone give you a 3-digit number to round to the nearest 100.

Continue to practise this using Rocket Rounding on Topmarks too!

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/rocket-rounding

Challenge: Can you round a 4-digit number to the nearest 100?

Extra Challenge: Can you use your knowledge of rounding to round a number to the nearest 10 and the

nearest 100?

There are additional rounding activities on Teams if you wish to do these too!

(Files, Numeracy Activities, Rounding)


Minibeasts


After our vote on Chatty Tuesday, we are exploring all things ladybirds this week!

• Watch these videos all about ladybirds:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPUazqh63kE

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLPtPiHFT1o

• Did you know that ladybirds have spots to help to protect themselves from predators? The

spots tell the predators that the ladybird won’t taste nice to eat!

Can you find out any other facts about ladybirds? Maybe you could look on the internet or in a book?

• Create a poster or PowerPoint which includes some of the facts you have been learning about

ladybirds. You might want to create a leaflet that includes the facts learned about butterflies and

bees too.

• Why not create a tally chart of how many ladybirds you can find each day? You could turn this

information into a bar chart!

• Can you create a healthy snack that looks like a ladybird?


additional tasks. (Files, Topics, Minibeasts, Ladybirds)


Play – Loose Parts

We love playing with all our Loose Parts at school. Loose parts are materials that can become anything

through creating, making and imagining. For examples of some Loose Parts, see the poster below:

I’d like you to explore Loose Parts this week. Can you create a pattern, a picture or even a face? Be super

creative! Remember to share all of your designs with me on Twitter/Teams! Here are some ideas if you need

inspiration:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPUazqh63kEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLPtPiHFT1o

Week Beginning 25th May 2020: Suggested Learning Activities

Literacy

Phonics/Spelling

This week, we are looking at another new sound! Our sound this week is ‘mb’. It is another cheeky sound as it

makes the sound ‘m’. We don’t say the ‘b’ sound at the end, it is silent! This sound usually comes at the end of

a word.

Some mb words are comb, lamb, climb, crumb, dumb

Watch the videos below to help you practise this new sound:

Geraldine the Giraffe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owEViBZZZGc

Mr Thorne: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JxCmo8KHmd4

Nessy: (55 seconds to 1 minute 21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p4hRbPQC2w

Our new common words this week are: green people which another

You can practise this new sound and common words any way you wish, e.g. using the spelling strategy in your

pack, making flashcards. I have uploaded some mb activities onto Teams as well!

Challenge: Why not look in a dictionary book or online to look for more mb words?

Extra Challenge: Can you use some mb words in a sentence? How many mb words can you write in the same

sentence?

Writing

We are continuing to focus on imaginative writing this week. I would love for you to

write a story with the title “If I was a minibeast…”. I would like you to imagine that

you are a minibeast. What would you be? Why? What would you look like? What would

you do? When you are writing an imaginative story, remember it needs to have a clear

beginning, middle and an end. I would like you to focus on using at least 3 adjectives

this week, as well as 1 WOW word. Remember, a WOW word is an amazing word that

we would not normally use in our everyday writing.

Scan this QR code for a short story example:

Listen to this minibeast song as well… it might inspire you!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eajwaH0_2c

Just like in class, there is a checklist for you to traffic light to check that you have met the success criteria.

Has your story

for a beginning,

middle and an

end?

Have you

used capital

letters?

Have you

used full

stops?

Have you used your

knowledge of sounds

and common words


Have you used at

least 3 adjectives?

Challenge: Have you

used a WOW word?

Have you checked over

your work once you have

finished to check

spelling and

punctuation?

Numeracy


This week we are moving on from fractions. I would still like you to continue to practise your halving by

playing hit the button though!

In Primary 1, we looked at tally charts, bar charts and pictographs to record data and information. When we

are collecting information, it is useful to put this into a chart so that it is easy to read and understand. A

tally chart allows us to use tally marks to count how many of whatever it is we are recording. A bar chart is

useful to clearly display the information you have gathered.

This week we are going to focus on revising tally charts. Remember, we use a straight line for each item. 4

straight lines with a diagonal line through is shows you that there are 5 items. Take a look at the poster

below:

Practise using tally marks to represent different numbers. You could do this by using pencils, sticks, straws

or by writing them down. Remember, we can use our knowledge of counting in 5s to count how many items

there are in total.

Challenge: Create your own Tally Chart like the one above. A grown up could give you some data for you to

turn into a tally chart or you could collect this data yourself.

Extra Challenge: Try answering questions about the Tally Chart you have created. E.g. most/least popular,

difference between…

You could also have a go at the additional activities on Teams to practise creating and understanding Tally

Charts too. (Files, Numeracy Resources, Information Handling, Tally Charts)

Core Number

We are continuing to look at rounding a number to the nearest 10 this week. Watch the mini rounding lesson I

uploaded to Teams last week to remind yourself. This rhyme is also useful to use to help us to know when to

round higher or lower:

0 to 4, lower



Step 2. Look at the number in the ones column.

Step 3. Using the ones column number, say the rhyme above to decide if you need to go lower or higher.

Continue to practise using Rocket Rounding on Topmarks.


This week I would like you to use your knowledge of rounding to the nearest 10 to help you to estimate some

2-digit number calculations. You may wish to use a number square to help you. See my video on Teams where I

talk through an example question! Have a grown up give you some of these types of questions to practise.

Challenge: Can you use rounding to the nearest 10 to help you estimate the answers to some 3-digit

calculations, e.g. 123 + 31 = 120 + 30 = 150

Extra Challenge: Use your knowledge of rounding to the nearest 10 to check the answers to some

calculations. Scan the QR code and give the activity sheet a go!



Minibeasts

This week we are going to explore bees! Out on my walks with Benji this week I have seen so many bees flying

around and sitting on flowers… they are everywhere just now!

• Watch these videos all about bees

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta154f5Rp5Y

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1AFjR9F0Xg

• Look through the Powerpoint on Teams called ‘Buzzy Bees’.

• Research information on bees. Where do they live? Why? What do they do? How many different

kinds do you get? Can you find any interesting facts? How do they make honey?

• Learn about the main steps in the life cycle of a bee. There is a PowerPoint to support this on Teams.

• Learn about the different parts of a bee. Can you correctly label a picture of a bee? Can you draw a

bee so that it has all of its correct body parts?

• If you find any bees when you are outside, why not take a picture? I will collect these all together to

display!

• Can you follow a recipe to make something that has honey in it as an ingredient? If you haven’t tasted

honey before, why not give it a try!


additional tasks. (Files, Topics, Minibeasts, Bees)


Art/Health & Wellbeing

This week I would like us to focus on mindfulness line drawings.

You will need a dice for this. If you don’t have a dice, write the numbers 1 to 6 on small pieces of paper to

pick out instead of rolling a dice.

Roll 1 tells you what line to use. It must go from one edge to another.

Roll 2 lets you know what shape to draw. Add 2-3 of this shape shapes in different sizes.

Roll 3 lets you know what kind of texture to draw. Use this texture inside 2 to 3 shapes.

Use different colours to complete your piece of art!

Have a look at my video example on Teams! (Files, Art)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta154f5Rp5Yhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1AFjR9F0Xg

Week Beginning 18th May 2020: Suggested Learning Activities

Literacy

Phonics/Spelling

This week, we are going to begin looking at a new sound! Our sound this week is ‘kn’. It is a cheeky sound as it

makes the sound ‘n’. We don’t say the ‘k’ sound at the start, it is silent!

Some kn words are knock, know, knee, knight, kneel, knew

Watch the videos below to help you practise this new sound:

Geraldine the Giraffe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eP3-PCK8bk0

Meet the Digraphs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unEWfKc3s7c

Nessy: (First 54 seconds only) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p4hRbPQC2w

Our new common words this week are: under were thing know

You can practise this new sound and common words any way you wish, e.g. using the spelling strategy in your

pack, writing them in silly sentences, making flashcards. I have uploaded some kn activities onto Teams as

well!

Challenge: Can you think of any other kn words?

Extra Challenge: Why not look in a dictionary book or online to look for more kn words?

Writing

‘You know that I miss you, wherever you’re at; So I decided to send you a

tiny teacher who’s flat.

I hope that you’ll take care of tiny little me; I think doing things with me

will be the key!’

I would love for you to write about an adventure that we could go on together!

When you are writing an imaginative story, remember it needs to have a

beginning, middle and an end. Usually, the beginning introduces us to the story,

something exciting happens in the middle and the story rounds up and finishes at

the end. Make sure you add in lots of detail and use adjectives and WOW words

to make your story even more interesting!

Scan this QR code for a story example:

Just like in class, there is a checklist for you to check that you have met the success criteria

Has your story

Numeracy

Fractions

We are continuing with fractions this week. We have been working hard to be able to identify the fractions ½

and ¼ and matching these to shapes which have been cut into halves and quarters. This week we are taking

this one step further. We are going to be working out ½ of a number up to 20. So for example, ½ of 10. You

can practise this for finding 10 objects and then splitting these up into 2 equal groups. We know we have to

split them into 2 groups because the number on the bottom is 2.

Please go onto our Teams page for a video of me showing you this worked example!

There are also additional activities to support this on Teams. (Files, Numeracy Resources, Fractions, Finding

half of a quantity) You can also practise your halving on Hit the Button.

https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

Challenge: Numbers up to 30

Extra Challenge: Numbers up to 50

Once you have explored halving a number using concrete materials and you have become familiar with splitting

a number in half, you will be able to see that halving a number it is the opposite of doubling a number! For

example, half of 10 is 5, but double 5 is 10.

Core Number

We are going to begin looking at rounding a number to the nearest 10. We use rounding when we want to

estimate a number as it gives us numbers that are easy to use.

We need to remember this rhyme to help us:

0 to 4, lower


Watch the following videos to learn about rounding.

Miss Daly’s mini rounding lesson video is uploaded onto Teams – please watch.

Rounding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMdck80SHnw


Step 2. Look at the number in the ones column.

Step 3. Using the ones column number, say the rhyme above to decide if you need to go lower or higher.

Have someone give you a number between 0 and 100 for you to practise rounding.

Rocket Rounding on TopMarks is a great way to practise rounding too.


There are additional activity sheets on Teams if you wish to do them too. (Files, Numeracy Files, Rounding)

Challenge: Can you round a 3-digit number to the nearest 10?

Extra Challenge: Can you round a 4-digit number to the nearest 10?

or you could write them down.(I have also uploaded

these onto Teams: Files, Literacy Resources, Reading)

Challenge: Share a picture Twitter/Teams of you

reading somewhere unusual!

Phonics/Common words

Choose at least 5 common words from our list that you

need to practise. Use some of the spelling strategies

in your pack to help you do so. (These are also on

Teams: Files, Literacy Resources, Spelling)

Numeracy

Fractions

We are continuing to look at fractions this week.

Remind yourselves about halves and quarters using the

Fractions help sheet and PowerPoint on Teams.

(Files, Numeracy Resources, Fractions).

Continue to explore halves and quarters in real life.

Can you see anything that is split into halves and

quarters in your garden or out on your walk?

I’ve uploaded a Stained Glass Window fractions

colouring sheet onto Teams (Files, Numeracy

Resources, Fractions). See how you get on!

Core Number – Number bonds

Practise your numbers bonds to 5, to 10, to 20 and if

you feel confident doing these and would like a

challenge try number bonds to 100. This will be a

useful strategy to use when completing addition

calculations.

You may wish to make a pairs game, flashcards, or play

Hit the Button! (QR code for Hit the Button on Teams:

Files, Numeracy Resources, Core Number)

I have uploaded a list of number bonds to 5, 10,

20 and 100 onto Teams in the folder above too!

HWB/other curricular areas

Topic – Minibeasts

• Have a look at the minibeast word mat I have

uploaded onto Twitter and Teams. Which

minibeasts have you seen before?

• Go on a minibeast hunt in your garden or when

you are out a walk. What minibeasts can you

find? Create a list of the minibeasts you have

found and where you found them about. There

is a table on Teams for you to record this if

you wish! Did you find them in the grass, under

a rock, on a plant or in the sky? This will allow

us to begin to investigate where different

minibeasts live.

I have uploaded a minibeast checklist, and a minibeast

tally chart you may wish to use during your hunt too!

(Teams: Files, Topics, Minibeasts)

Health & Wellbeing

As part of our Human Body topic we had spoken about

having a taste test in class with different fruit and

vegetables that we hadn’t eaten before. Why not try a

new food? Tweet me your taste test and let me know

what you think! You might surprise yourself.

Week Beginning 4th May 2020: Suggested Learning Activities – P2

Literacy

Writing

Help a grown up make a meal. Write down the

instructions to tell me how you made it, just like we

have done in class!

Remember, we need:

- a title, E.g. How to….

- what you will need, E.g. your ingredients/utensils

- number your steps

Use the self-assessment grid uploaded onto Teams to

make sure you have included these things, as well as

checking you have used the correct punctuation.

(Files, Literacy resources, writing, instructions self-

assessment)


Choose a sound that you find a little tricky.

Write as many words as you can that include

that sound. Practise these sound words any way

you like!

E.g, create a roll and read mat for them,

dictated sentences, create flashcards, create

a pairs game or use the spelling strategies in

your packs/on Teams.

(A list of our sounds and sound words are on

our Teams page under Files, Literacy

Resources, Spelling, Sound word list)

Numeracy

Fractions

We are going to begin exploring fractions. I would like

you to explore halves and quarters this week. Have a

look at the Fractions help sheet and PowerPoint on

Teams first (Files, Numeracy Resources, Fractions).

Explore halves and quarters. Can you cut a cake into

halves? A pizza into quarters? Can you fold paper in

halves and quarters? What shapes can be split into

halves and quarters?

A shape has to be split into 2 equal parts to be split

into halves, and 4 equal parts to be split into

quarters.

Core Number Practise your addition and subtraction within 100.

Make flashcards with some calculations written

on them or have a grown up ask you some

questions. Use the number square included in your

pack to help you (copy of this is also on Teams –

Topic This year we have all loved learning through our different

Topics. So far, we have explored the Rainforest, Egypt

and the Human Body. Look out for tweets and posts on

Teams asking you to vote for our next topic, which will be

either Minibeasts or Dinosaurs! I’ve picked these 2 topics

to choose from based on all your questions and

discussions last term. Once our topic has been chosen, I’d

like you to ask any wonder questions you may have about

the topic! You might want to write down some of

these too.

Art

Look out of your window and draw a picture of

what you can see! We have spent lots of time in

class practising our detailed drawing. Don’t

forget to share your drawings with me on

Twitter or Teams!

Week Beginning 27th April 2020: Suggested Learning Activities P2

Literacy

Reading

Draw a detailed image of the main character in the

text you are reading. Write a few sentences to

describe the main character, ensuring you use some

describing words. Remember to check your sentences

to make sure:

1. They make sense.

2. You have used a capital letter, finger spaces and a

full stop.

3. You have used our common words and sounds to help

with spelling.


Fill in the blank ‘Roll and Read’ template in your

home learning pack with common words or words

containing a sound you find tricky. Play this game

with someone in your household. You might need

to teach them how to play first!

I have uploaded a blank ‘Roll and Read’ template

to our Teams page, as well as a few that are

already filled in for some sounds. Go to Files,

Literacy Resources then Roll and Read mats.

Numeracy

Topic Maths

Look at a clock at various points during the day and

practise telling the time. Can you write this as an

analogue time and as a digital time?

Core Number

Practise the 2 times table. You could create

flash cards, a pairs game, go onto the Topmarks

website, songs on YouTube etc.

Remember when you multiply a number by 2 you

just double it! E.g. 3 x 2 = 6, which is the same

as double 3.

Once you feel confident with the 2 times table,

practise the 10 times table!

When you multiply by 10, the ones digit moves

into the tens column. E.g. 5 x 10 = 50, so the 5

moves from being in the ones place to the tens

place, and so you need to include a 0 in the ones

place instead of leaving it blank (see below).

Human Body IDL Context

Discuss the 5 senses – hearing, sight, taste, touch,

smell. Can you state why each one of our senses is

important? Can you give an example of when we would

use each of the senses?

Health & Wellbeing

We have been discussing lots of different

emotions in class. We have focused on emotion

words and also what different emotions look

like. Write down as many emotion words as you

can think of. Select one and act out the emotion

for someone in your household and see if they

can guess what it is. Take it in turns to act out

and guess the emotions.

Week Beginning 20th April 2020: Suggested Learning Activities P2

Literacy

Writing – Holiday Snapshot

Choose your favourite day or moment from your Easter

holidays. Draw a detailed picture of this holiday

snapshot, and then write some sentences to describe

your day/moment. Remember to use a capital letter,

finger spaces and a full stop.

Challenge yourself to use some WOW words!

Common Words

You may wish to cut out the common word flashcards and

create an ‘I know it’ ‘I don’t know it’ pile. How quickly can

you say each pile? Can you beat your time?

Choose a few words from the ‘I don’t know it’ pile to

practise over the course of the week.

Numeracy

Topic Maths - Measure

Explore capacity. Estimate and then measure how much

water different objects will hold. E.g. How many cups

does it take to fill up the kettle? How many cups does it

take to fill up the sink? Write down your findings.

Mental agility

Go on a number hunt around your environment. Note down

the numbers that you find. Can you partition these

numbers into hundreds, tens, ones. E.g. 425 is 4

hundreds, 2 tens, 5 ones. Additionally you could split the

number up, e.g. 400 + 20 + 5.


Science: Floating and Sinking Experiment

In a sink or bath, experiment to see what objects around

the house can float and which can sink. Predict what you

think will happen will each object. Were you correct?

Why do you think this?

Human Body IDL Topic

Over this week, create your own mini project about all

our learning on the Human Body. This could be a poster,

PowerPoint, video, presentation… be as creative as you

like! How many facts can you remember?
