01 May: Home learning

Thursday 30 April 2020

It’s Friday, the first day of May and the last learning day of the week.

Today, why not combine your physical activity with your mindfulness activity by doing one of the Cosmic Yoga sessions.

Here are your new learning tasks for today.

Task 1 reading

Firstly, here are the answers to the Captain Tom questions from yesterday.

Today’s learning

We’ll start today’s learning with the spelling test. Here’s a reminder of this week’s words. What was the spelling rule? Yes – drop the y for an i. This week, I have recorded the test so get your pencil and paper ready. Click here when you are ready. Remember your neatest handwriting. You could warm up by drawing lazy eight shapes around your eyes, on your hand or on your adult’s back.

For our reading task today, it’s back to the Venus flytrap fluency text to check your understanding.

1.Reread the fluency text – hopefully this time you will be a bit more fluent. Remember to pause at the punctuation like in my reading.

2. Complete the activity here.

Task 2 maths

It’s times table test day and it would be good to start to include some division questions in the test if your child is ready for that. Start the division questions based on the ten times table first of all such as 100 shared by 10, 20 divided by 10.

Today’s learning

The lesson today is all about measuring longer lengths and heights using metres. This follows on from yesterday’s learning (White Rose home learning – Summer Term Week 1 lesson 3) so if you didn’t complete it yesterday, do that lesson first.

1.Start your maths learning by joining in with this length and height Super Movers song.

2. Complete the White Rose lesson and activity sheet – Summer Term Week 1 lesson 4 and check your answers.

Challenge: At the moment, if you do have to go out, the current social distancing recommendation is two metres. Can you measure this out? If you can, what does it compare to in your house? This video gives some suggestions.

Task 3: RE – Ramadan

Our final task of the week is an RE task. Some of our friends in school are one week into the month of Ramadan but what is Ramadan?

1. Look at the information and watch the videos on this Newsround page.

2.What did you learn about Ramadan?

3.What surprised you about Ramadan?

4.Why is Ramadan different this year?

5. Finally, think of a question you would like to ask someone taking part in Ramadan.

If you are taking part in Ramadan at home at the moment, we would love to hear what this involves for you and your family.

Optional extra activity

Finally, we know we’ve got some budding artists in the class so why not try a draw along session led by children’s illustrator, Rob Biddulph.

Have a great weekend – stay safe and stay connected! We’ll be back on Monday.
