Week 12: 30 June 2020: Home learning
Hello, everyone. How did you get on with yesterday’s learning?
Today, as it would be Being happy and healthy week, choose a physical activity to start your day. You could save the others to do throughout the week when you need a brain break.
Here are the answers from yesterday’s learning.
Lesson 1 Being healthy
We’re having a break today from our current science learning about animals for a healthy eating/design technology lesson.
1.Remind yourself of how we cut foods using the bridge and claw techniques.
2. Read these example recipes – rainbow fruit skewers, fruit kebab and fabulous fruit salad.
3. Depending on what ingredients you have at home, use this planning sheet to design and make your own fruit kebab or fruit salad.
4. Enjoy your healthy dish!
Lesson 2 reading
Today’s lesson is all about healthy teeth.
Click here (KS1 lesson) to read about Tilly the Tooth (with an optional science experiment).
Lesson 3 maths
1.Click here for today’s lesson. The answers for today are here.
2.Select the measurement section on Karate Cats.
3.Finally, if you’ve any fruit left, you could put your measurement skills to the test and have a go at this smoothie recipe.
Week 12: 29 June 2020: Home learning

Happy Friday!
Your first task today is Love of Reading.
Find your favorite book, sit back and enjoy.
Here is a book review for you. Choose your favorite fiction and non fiction books to review.
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.

Hello everyone!
Hope you have had a good week! Thanks very much for all your hard work.
It is my last week posting the Year 2 learning as Mrs Taylor and Mrs Freeman will be back setting you your three tasks from Monday! I’ve really enjoyed being back in Year 2 for a few weeks. Thank you!
Okay, here are the answers from yesterday’s learning:
Y2 – Reading – Thursday – ANSWERS
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.
For maths, we’re doing the BBC challenges again. Remember to have a go at the Year 3 ones if you want a further challenge!
Finally, it’s another week of Andy Goldsworthy’s natural art challenges. Andy Goldsworthy Challenges – Week 3
If the weather’s bad, you can do some observational drawing of something natural: a banana, some flowers, a turnip, your brother. It is up to you! If you fancy doing something different, have a look at these arty videos for some inspiration.
