Hope you are all set for today’s activities. You maybe starting to have some kind of routine or timetable now and as with the normal school day, remember to include plenty of brain breaks.
Physical activity: Joe Wicks’ live PE lesson is proving popular in our house – hope you are managing to join in too. It’s a great start to the day! Today, why not also try one of the many videos on GoNoodle. I know a particular class favourite is Banana, Banana, Meatball.
Mindfulness activity: Cosmic Kids Yoga have a variety of yoga, mindfulness and relaxation videos to follow online. Let us know which ones you’d recommend to a friend.
Well done to Leon who achieved his next Lexia level yesterday. Just 10/15 minutes a day can help your child to progress in their Lexia learning.
Here are your home learning tasks for today.
Task 1 reading
Reread the fluency text about polar bears from Monday. Today, read it aloud and take account of the punctuation in the text – a short pause for a comma and a longer pause where there is a full stop.
Hopefully you enjoyed the Pobble365 image from yesterday. There are no wrong answers for the questions that were set but it is always good if you can explain your answers by giving reasons based on the text/image. For example, maybe they had got the plane from a museum because it looks old.
Today, we have a poetry text including some of our spelling words this week.
1.Read the poem aloud.
2.Read it again in a different voice. For example, an excited voice or a tired voice.
3.Copy out the words in the poem that follow the ey pattern like your spellings.
4.Think of other words that follow the ey pattern (Spellzone can provide some more if you get a bit stuck).
Challenge: Try and add a third verse following the pattern of the poem and including some ‘ey’ words.
Task 2 maths
Here are your answers from yesterday’s learning. How did you do?
Before you start today’s activity, write out, in digits and words, the numbers from 0 to 20.
Today, we will finish our learning on 2D shapes with a sorting exercise.
1. Using the shapes listed in the word bank, sort them into the correct box.
2.Attempt to draw the shapes too.
Challenge: Complete the question below.
Task 3 Toys now and then
Imagine you have lost one of your toys (go and get it so you have it in front of you).
1.Write a description in sentences to help people find your toy.
2.Think about what adjectives you could include to give more description.
3. Include a picture of your toy too.
Challenge: Look at the adjectives you have used. Can you think of what is the opposite of these adjectives?
Finally, it would be great to see some of your home learning if you want to type it in an email (carolinetaylor@spherefederation.org and jackiefreeman@spherefederation.org) or send it as a photo. Keep working hard, everyone. You’re doing great!
