Hello, Year 2s! Hope you managed to dodge the showers at the weekend.

Look at the baby animals we spotted while walking along the canal at the weekend. Can you name the adult animal and the young?

Week 12: 29 June 2020: Home learning

Hello Year 1!

I hope you have all had a great weekend despite the weather!

Here are today’s tasks:

Spellings

Maths video       Maths task

The video is quite long today, so it may be a good idea to pause me when I’ve finished teaching the first activity. You can then complete that activity on the sheet before watching the rest of the video and completing the second activity.

I advise you to do this on the video but not until the end! Silly me!

Phonics – ue

Let me know you get on! Please continue to send me your learning or anything else you have been up to.

New date for Zoom catch-up: Tuesday at 10am

Hello everyone,

Sorry for another change in date for the meeting. It’s going to be at 10am on Tuesday now.

NEW: If you attended the previous meeting, you can also join this one. Just email to let me know.

Hello everyone!

It’s the end of another week. Thanks very much for all your hard work. Hope you have a super weekend and I’ll see you on Monday (kind of)!

Click here for yesterday’s maths calculations answers.

Today’s learning:

It’s our regular Love of Reading session. Do what you usually do! Or you can mix it up if you like and draw a character from your book or write an interview with a character or sketch a setting or scene from the book or list some facts you’ve learnt if reading a non-fiction text. Or, do something else related to reading!

Click here for the link to the Friday challenges. Remember to try the Year 5 ones for an extra challenge.

The weather should be fine (just a few thunderstorms) for the final Andy Goldsworthy challenges:  Andy Goldsworthy Challenges – Week 4.

Happy Friday, everyone.

Task 2

Revision of money

Here are a few activities. You can choose all the activities or one/two.

The first activity is for you to pretend to go shopping. You need to buy 2/3/4/ items and work out how much you have spent altogether.

An extra challenge would be to work out your change from £1, £2 and £5.

Good luck!

Task 3

Repeat pattern making

When thinking about shape in your designs, don’t just think about the shape of the end product.

Shapes can be used decoratively for a lot of products too.

Tessellation is when shapes fit together in a pattern with no gaps or overlaps.

The following short film gives an explanation of tessellation and shows it working, or not working, with different shapes.

Tessellating Capitals

I know that when doing symmetry we often have a look at CAPITAL LETTERS. We could try tessellating certain ones, deciding on good ones to try and those that would be no good.
A simple one to start with is the letter C – see what has happened when I’ve tried to tessellate them:

Slightly different …

Do you see how they are different?
Now try another one or two for yourself!

Capital F also seems a good one, but maybe it’s a little harder.

I decided to lay two of them down like this:

Then playing about with putting them together I got:

This I was quite happy with, so I thought that having shown you, you could try some for yourself.

Here are some sheets to help if you need them.

Please send us your tessellations.

Click on this link and have a good at the challenges! Challenge 2 is my favourite today.

It’s our Love of Reading session today. I’d like you to sit down with a good book and enjoy reading together. You might share a book or your child may want to read independently. Talk about what you’re reading and ask some questions.

Our final Friday lesson is the about food and nutrition. Click on this link to find out how to construct a balanced and healthy diet.

Have a great weekend everyone 🙂
