Maths – play dough maths
If you have play dough at home that is great but here is a play dough recipe in
case you don’t and would like to make some to complete this task.
You will need
8 tbsp plain flour
2 tbsp table salt
60ml warm water
food colouring
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Method
1. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix
together the water, a few drops of food colouring and the oil.
2. Pour the coloured water into the flour mix and bring together
with a spoon.
3. Dust a work surface with a little flour and turn out the dough.
Knead together for a few minutes to form a smooth, pliable dough.
If you want a more intense colour you can work in a few extra drops
of food colouring.
4. Store in a plastic sandwich bag (squeeze out the air) in the fridge
to keep it fresh.
Art & Design and Science -
Design a boat/ ship that can float on the water. Then have a discussion about
why the boat can float on the water.
Thursday
Phonics – compound words
English – Alphabet mat
Maths – matching amount and numerals
Theme – Frozen, ocean animal rescue
Phonics – compound words
Tap out the different words to make the compound word. Can you find the
correct compound word on the next page?
English -
Many of the children are very good at recognising letters, particularly those in there name. Here is an
alphabet mat to talk through the different letters. You could cut them out and spell their name. You could
just play a game and say letter and point to it. You could turn all over the letters, turn it over and to
extend this write it. This is to develop recognition of letters and sounds.
Maths
Using the images with numerals on below can you cut them out and add the
correct amount of pegs to the pictures.
Theme
Do you have some sea animal creatures or any type of animals or toys which you
could put into water and freeze over night in order to make a frozen ocean
animal rescue? This is for the children to use different tools to smash, or melt
the ice in order to rescue the animals.
Friday
Phonics – Syllable game
English – read and colour
Maths – Number formation
Understanding of the world- Fathers day
Phonics -
Using the sea creature pictures can you clap how many syllables are in the
words. For example, dol-phin (2 syllables) so you would place the lion picture on
the 2 claps picture.
1 syllable
2 syllables
3 syllables
Math’s – positional language
As our theme has been under the sea, can you play the game where you call out an
action e.g. under and your child needs to find somewhere either outside or inside and go
under something. Cut out the cards, mix them up and they could pull one out of a hat or
box and perform the action. They could also use a teddy or toy to put them under or
inside things.
Understanding of the world – Fathers day
It is Fathers day on the 21st of June. Have you collected you fathers day card
kit if you would like one from the Foundation 1 door? If not, you could make your
own card. You don’t have to make it for your father you could make it for
somebody very special in your life.
Can you draw a picture below of somebody who makes you feel loved and special
and discuss how they make you feel special?
This week’s theme: SHIPWRECKED
Curriculum
area
Suggested activity
Science Marvellous materials
Foundation Stage 1 – What happens outside when it rains? Everything gets wet! How do we stop
ourselves from getting wet? We can use an umbrella when it rains and this protects us. Next
time it rains, can you get dressed up and stay dry? What did you use to keep yourself dry? Put a
picture on Tapestry to show us your waterproof clothes.
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Can you investigate which materials are waterproof? What does
waterproof mean? Think about an umbrella. This keeps us dry when it rains – how does it keep
us dry? Can you build a house from lego/duplo/wooden blocks and test a variety of materials to
see if they are waterproof? Watch this video to give you an idea
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSs0ogUUqdM
Year 3 /4 – Once you realise that you are going to be on this island for some time your survival
instincts kick in. From the washed up debris from the shipwreck you have to decide what will be
useful. Think about materials that are waterproof, are insulators and that are reflective. Why
would these be useful on the island? What materials would they be? Can you make a list of
useful materials that you could use on your island?
Year 5 / 6 – What makes a good insulator? Since you’re stranded, you need to make sure you
stay warm. Watch this clip to help you: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zkntsbk Conduct
an investigation using ice. Wrap your ice in cling film before choosing a 2nd material to act as an
insulator to wrap around it to investigate which material keeps the ice frozen the longest. Can
you write a scientific prediction?
Design and
Technology
Shelters
Foundation Stage 1 – Can you build a den at your house – it could be in the garden or inside the
house. What have you used to make your den? How many people can fit inside your den? We
would love to see your dens on Tapestry or Twitter.
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Mission Possible-but Challenging!
Your mission, which you must accept, is to build a shelter for two Lego figures (or similar).
Please post your shelters on twitter! The shelter will be judged as follows:
There are five activities below which link in with our theme of ‘Shipwrecked’ which we’ll continue o look at this
week. Feel free to complete them in any order you choose.
1. It must be able to withstand a 1 Kg weight being placed on the roof. The two figures must
remain protected and undamaged.
2. The two figures must remain dry. This will be judged by placing the two figures on a tissue.
The tissue must remain dry when 200 ml of water is poured over the top of the shelter. (Use
your knowledge of waterproof from Science to help).
3. The shelter and the figures inside must be able to withstand a 30 second blast from a
hairdryer (or similar). Have fun – we can’t wait to see them!
Year 3 /4 – Draw a detailed design for a shelter that you are going to build on your island,
labelling the materials that you are going to use. After you have designed your shelter can you
try to construct a replica of this using materials that you have a home/in your garden? Consider
the different conditions that your shelter will be subjected to on the island (high
temperatures, torrential rainfall or monsoon, gale-force winds).
Year 5 / 6 – Watch this clip and evaluate the shelter which has been made. Would this be an
effective shelter if you’re stranded on an island? Consider ways it could be improved.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVjmn05Ptgs After, try building your own shelter making
sure you include the improvements. You could use materials from inside your house/garden or
materials you gather while out on a walk.
History Great Explorers
Foundation Stage 1 – We can all be Great Explorers. Can you explore your garden or house and
draw three things that you have discovered. Are they new things that you have found? Where did
you find them?
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Let’s find out about Captain James Cook, the famous explorer! Watch
this film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJnzP0Dp3t8
Tell someone in your family 3 facts that you have learnt or answer these questions: -
1. What was the name of Captain James Cook’s ship?
2. What was the biscuit called that the crew ate?
3. What did Captain James Cook spend most of his time doing on board the ship?
Year 3 - 6 – Christopher Columbus was a famous explorer who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean.
Watch this clip https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/ks2-christopher-
columbus/z7j3hbk Create your own fact file about his explorations – you may want to find out
about how he travelled, where did he explore and where did he discover?
R.E Celebrations- Christenings
Foundation Stage 1 – A Christening is a special celebration for a Christian baby. Can you talk
about a special celebration that you have had in your house – it could be a christening, naming
ceremony, wedding or a birthday. Do you have any photographs of the celebration that you can
look at? What can you see? How did you celebrate? Can you draw a picture of the special
celebration that you have talked about?
Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Christenings are a celebration celebrated by Christians. Can you
watch this short clip https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zm87tfr and talk about what you saw.
What did the vicar make with the paper? Can you remember the meaning for the symbols of the
house, book and cross? Download the ‘EYFS and KS1 Christening Powerpoint’ from our Home
Learning page and have a look through it. Can you write a list of the things that are given to, or
done for, the baby at their Christening?
Year 3 /4 – As part of our RE lessons we have looked at Sikhism and Christianity. We have looked
at different celebrations and ceremonies in both religions. Sikhs celebrate the birth of
a child through a naming ceremony called Naam Karan. Can you watch the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH89kg1K0RQ
to find out what happens at a naming ceremony and write a short explanation?
Year 5 / 6 – Our focus religion is Islam. Download the ‘RE Naming ceremony’ pdf document from
our Home Learning page for more information. Compare a Christian’s christening to an Islamic
naming ceremony – you can present this in a table or create an information poster.

(PSHCE)
Relationships
For all year groups: This week we’re thinking about ‘change.’ We would like you to focus on the
changes which you have noticed within your community and how your community has dealt with
them. Try listing or discussing the changes you’ve seen. For example, how a trip to the
supermarket has changed or how your community centre has changed.
