Personal Timeline

Create a personal timeline of at least 6 important events in your

life. You can use photos, drawings or words eg. When I was a

baby, when I began crawling, when I was a toddler, when I

went to kinder, when I started school and when I began year 1.

Visual Art: I can

experiment with

a variety of

textures in my

artwork.

Hello all you wonderful artists, in week 5 we are exploring

texture. Last week you had a choice of several activities using

line. This week we are using texture.

Texture is the way something looks and feels. We can feel

texture when we touch something. We can see texture with our

eyes. Rough, smooth, bumpy and soft are all types of textures.

Bark has a rough texture, silk has a soft texture. Different

textures are all around us. Last year we made a texture chart of

different textiles/fabrics and threads. Watch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS18Ea8Hc38

Choose any of the three activities.

Activity 1.

Go on a texture hunt in your house and see how many you can

find. Draw the textures using the chart below and list one or two

things that have that texture. Print from the resource page. If you

don’t have a printer use this as a guide. You might need more

than one sheet of paper to write each down.

Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDVS9XSqt90

Activity 2.

Using a coloured pencil or crayon on A4 white copy paper

take a rubbing from interesting textures inside and outside the

house. A dark colour or red are best. Use two sheets. Put the

object down, paper over and rub. Hold the paper tight.

Watch again.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tS18Ea8Hc38 See my

example.

Extension: Cut your rubbings up and glue them into a picture

on white copy paper. See my example.

Activity 3.

Make a collage

Step 1. Collect different textures of paper including of recycled

cardboard.

Step 2. Glue them into a design with a glue stick or pva.

Step 3. Find some different textures from the kitchen (rice,

pasta, herbs) you don’t need a lot. Ask your parent first. 4. Glue

these onto your design using a glue stick or pva. See my

example.

Have lots of fun experimenting with textures.

Keep your work I can’t wait to see it when back at school.

My Family

In Prep, you started to learn the words for your own family

members. These words are used for familiar people in casual

settings. Watch the Prep vocabulary video to revise and

practise these family words. I know you’re in Year 1 now!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlRFS-sk5Ko

Your Family

This year, you will be learning the more polite, formal words that

are used when describing someone else’s family members.

We’re going to start with a story called “Ojiichan’s Gift”. The

word “ojiichan” or “ojiisan” means grandfather. Listen to the

story read by Miss Breadon here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0TE1XvY0-k&t=5s

Do you have an ojiisan? What are some of the special things

you do together?

Activities:

*Make a card or small gift for your “ojiisan” if you have one. If

not, make one for your “obaasan” (grandmother) or another

elderly person in your life. If you can’t make something, then

give them a virtual hug over the phone or online and tell them

about the new words you have learnt.

*Have a go at making a mini Zen garden. The Japanese DIY

Zen Garden & Coloured Salt Instructions are in the Resources

section of Home Learning. Add rocks, pebbles, leaves and

other things from around the house to decorate your Zen

garden and use a fork or twig to create line patterns in the

sand or salt. Do you feel calm and relaxed when you’re raking?

Miss Breadon would love to see a picture of your Zen garden!

Let your teacher know

Bonus activity – if you’re really keen!

*Look up “onigiri” on Google. What are they and how do you

make them? You might like to try a simple recipe for your lunch

or dinner. Here is one suggestion but there are many online,

choose one that looks yummy:

Wellbeing:

I can name and

feelings.

Watch the video together:

https://youtu.be/-HQIg3ZwAs0

We all get angry and frustrated from time to time. This is normal

and totally ok. The problem with being angry is sometimes it

can make us lose control of our actions. It can make us say or

do things that we really don’t want to.

Can you think of a time when this happened to you?

What are some things you can do to calm down? Make a list

together. When you are finished children can decorate the list

and you can display it at home.

Ideas include; Take a deep breath, move away, take a

break/time out, count to 10, ask for a hug, scream into a pillow,

hit a pillow, ask for help.

Phonics

I can

understand

using a plural ‘s’

means there is

more than 1

item

Tune in:

Watch this video about Regular Plural Nouns

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

A noun names an object, person or place.

When a noun is singular, it means there is one of them. When a

noun is plural it means there is more than one.

Task:

- Read a good fit book.

- Read it through again and look for any words that are

plural - that have a plural ‘s’ on the end

- Like dog / dogs

- Make a table like the one above of the plural words you

find. Include some pictures.

- Can you think of a few more to add to your table?

Too easy? Try this extra challenge task!

Some nouns have an ‘es’ on the end to make them plural.

★ Can you list some?

fox/foxes and wish/wishes

Not all words ending with an S are plural - only if it means more

than one.
