Afternoon Session - History

As part of our history learning, we need to be able to recognise why certain events are celebrated. Today we are going to think about Guy Fawkes and Bonfire Night.

Watch the video here – Who was Guy Fawkes? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zjkj382/articles/zjsqbdm I have also added a PowerPoint presentation called ‘The Gun Powder Plot' into Showbie.

This afternoon, write some sentences about Guy Fawkes and why Bonfire Night is celebrated today. I have attached a sheet that you can use but you could also write on your own paper, whiteboard or create a mini book – the choice is yours! Try to put your sound sheet somewhere you can see it to help you find the sounds you need when you are writing! I can’t wait to see what you write – send me a photo on Showbie or bring it along to our ‘Celebration of Learning’ on Zoom at 3.00pm.

I’ve also added a rocket craft – just for fun! You might be able to find a kitchen roll or toilet tube and some other craft things to make your own rocket firework. Be creative!

Keep smiling everyone – I am so proud of you as you are working so hard at home!

Best wishes,

Miss Weyman

Wild Art 2020

The RSPB are once again teaming up with the Cameron Bespolka Trust to bring you Wild Art 2020, and this year it’s even bigger! They are on the lookout for talented young artists to enter their exciting competition.

Your task is to create a piece of art inspired by nature – let your imagination run wild! There are two categories to choose from this year:

Real Life: entries using the more traditional approach of paints, pastels, acrylics, pens or pencil.
Go Wild: for those of you who want to ‘go wild’ in every sense of the word. To enter this category, experiment with textiles, sculpture, recycled and eco-friendly materials, collages – anything goes!

You can follow the link to the website to see some of last year’s winning entries: https://www.rspb.org.uk/fun-and-learning/for-kids/rspb-kids-competitions/wild-art/?channel=paidsearch&gclid=CjwKCAjwi_b3BRAGEiwAemPNU0MMSdcGaiBsMQKqmzBUdDtmCxdUtvdCyFmkKL0bNQxlRTCKX6du5BoCgI8QAvD_BwE

Prizes

For each category, the winner of each age group will receive an art gift voucher worth £100. There are also RSPB runner-up prizes for each category and age group too, so plenty of chances to WIN! The winning, runner-up and highly commended artwork will be displayed at The Society of Wildlife Artists Natural Eye exhibition from 28 October to 8 November 2020.

A special Richie Richardson award (and £100 book voucher) will be given for the most accurately drawn animal. The winning and runner-up artwork will also be printed in Wild Times, Wild Explorer or Wingbeat magazine.

Send a picture of your completed artwork to me via Showbie or email and I will enter it for you!

IMPORTANT: When taking a photo of your artwork, please make sure that you use natural lighting. Dark or unnatural lighting can result in distorted image colour/appearance.

Challenge: Use the magic potion sheet (or a plain piece of paper) to design your own magic potion. What will it be like? What will it include? How do you make it? What will it do? Use your imagination!

Maths

Talk with someone at home about the different coins we have in England. Which is the smallest coin in value? Which is the greatest coin in value?

Investigate how many ways you can make 10p, 20p or 50p. What coins can you use to make the amount? If you don’t have this exact coin, what other coins could you add together to make the amount?

Choose the total you are going to work with and draw the coins you would need to make this. You could draw them into a purse/wallet or find real, paper or plastic coins. How many ways can you find to make the amount you have chosen?

For example:

5p can be made using just a 5p coin

But… it could be 1p, 1p, 1p, 1p, 1p

Or even… 2p, 2p, 1p

Just because you have more coins it doesn’t mean you have more money!

‘The Goldfish’ 1925

Look at the picture. What effect does the dark background have? There are lots of fish, how do you think the other fish feel about the goldfish? What makes the goldfish stand-out? What techniques you think Klee might have used to create the goldfish painting?

Read the following link with information about this picture http://www.artchive.com/1925/klee.html

If you have them you could use wax crayons or oil pastels to cover the whole page in a mix of bright colours, then cover the page with black oil pastel so there’s no colour seen. Using a paperclip that has been unravelled, scratch at the page to make a shape and the colour will be revealed. Remember to be safe when using this!

Or you could create a drawing with bright coloured wax crayon or oil pastels, where there are some white bits left. Using a black water colour, brush over the page to create the background – the oil should resist the paint and show up.

If you don’t have any of these, no problem, simply using colouring pencils, felt tips, paints, sharpies, whatever you have that can be used to create colour and away you go. You could even have a go at creating a piece on the following free app on an ipad, https://tayasui.com/sketches/ or on your computer if you have a program for art already on it.

Writing pirate exclamations

Imagine you are a pirate, a captain of a ship or a pirate's parrot.

Draw a picture of each character and include a speech bubble above each of them.

In each speech bubble write a short sentence with what that character is saying. Make sure each sentence includes an exclamation mark.

For example:
Captain: Leave my ship right now!
Pirate: Give me all your treasure!
Pirate's parrot: Give him the treasure!

Your task today is to map your local wildlife. You could do this anywhere - on a walk, in your garden or even looking out of your window.

On paper, ask an adult to help you draw a rough sketch map of the area you are going to explore, and map where you see the wildlife. Think about the key features of the area e.g. river, grass, bird feeder, bushes, trees, flowers, ponds and draw these on to your map first…

Below is an idea of what a sketch map might look like… you do not need to include street names in your map as it is likely to be a smaller area!

As you explore, note down the wildlife that you see and label it! For example, if I saw a dragonfly by the pond, I would mark the pond with an X and draw or write ‘dragonfly’.

I have also attached a 30 days wild bingo sheet incase you would like to try this!

Remember to send some photos to me via Showbie or my email! Or even better, with the help of your parents and your e-safety knowledge, share your creations on Twitter with the hashtag #30DaysWild. Don’t forget to tag us @WalfordSchool so that we can see your amazing work too!

Today’s focus is on birds… Have any birds been visiting the bird feeder you made in our home learning science lesson? I hope that they have – keep an eye out and see if you can find out what type of birds they are!

Design a new species of bird:

1. Think of your favourite birds and what you love about them. If you’re not sure, you could look at some different UK birds using the following website:

https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/birds

2. Create a new species of bird with the features from the favourite birds that you chose, for example, a bird with a robin’s red breast, a kingfisher’s long beak and a mallard’s big webbed toes! You could present it any way you choose - a model, a painting, a picture or even using technology!

3. Give the bird a name. You might like to include some information about it also e.g. what it eats or where it is found.

Creative Afternoon

Today, we are going to focus on the outside games people played in the past. They can still be good fun today!

Enjoy some of the lovely sunshine today and try out some of these ideas:

Hopscotch

I have attached some instructions on how to make your own hop scotch, like the one we have painted on the playground at school. Have a go at creating one in your garden or out on the pavement when you are on your daily walk!

Skipping Games and Rhymes

You might like to have a go at some skipping. This was a very popular past time along time ago and some children still enjoy skipping today.

Here are some videos and songs children used to sing: http://www.bl.uk/playtimes/articles/an-introduction-to-skipping-games and https://www.bl.uk/playtimes/articles/skipping-games

Hide and Seek

Ask somebody at home to have a game of ‘Hide and Seek’ with you! I’m sure you know how to play this game and have played it many times before.

Rewarding Reading - Story time
Enjoy a story! You could read a book from the eBooks available on Oxford Owl. Our class username and password is in your home learning pack.

Today’s English lesson is full stops, capital letters and joining words.

Here is the lesson…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmqtnrd

Imagine you are teaching someone how to be a Monster Sitter. Write a list of equipment a Monster Sitter will need and then write some instructions outlining what they must do.

You'll need to:

Make sure your instructions are clear by numbering them.
Use capital letters at the start of each sentence and a full stop at the end.
Use multiple conjunctions in your instructions. These can be and, because, if and when. For example: You will need to cook the monster its food because it will be hungry. If you don't cook its food, it will get grumpy.

Maths

Today, we are going continue to work on measuring. Have a look at the video here… https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zbwc92p

Or… Can you find objects around you to measure? You could measure in cubes or centimetres. Use the ruler from your home learning pack – be sure to check you have the correct side by looking for ‘cm’.

Or… Try measuring the dinosaurs with the cubes or lego bricks? (Or something similar that you can find at home). https://bam.files.bbci.co.uk/bam/live/content/znp9d6f/pdf#sa-link_location=blocks&intlink_from_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fbitesize%2Farticles%2Fzbwc92p&intlink_ts=1589827878463-sa

Do you have a message for our war heroes, like Colonel Tom Moore? You could record a video message and Tweet it @WalfordSchool @VE75 or send it us via Showbie or email.

Remember, today is about spending time with your family and having fun. I have attached some optional activities you might like to have a go at over the next few days. There is a counting in 2s and 10s VE Day sheet as well as an addition sheet.

Then have a go at activity 3…

You are going to write two sentences as Pat and two sentences as Cyril.

These questions may help you decide what to write.

You are Cyril. What do you think you would say at the end of the story? Remember, you used to live alone in Lake Park, then you met a new friend Pat who saved your life! Now you live happily together.
You are Pat. What do you think you would say at the end of the story? Remember, you found a new friend Cyril but everybody treated you differently because you were a rat. In the end, you stood up to Slim the dog, saved Cyril’s life and now you live happily together.

Maths

Have a go at the ‘Find my total – 20p’ problem solving sheet.

What items can you buy with 20p? You could use some coins (real or plastic) to help if you have some at home.

After your game you could choose a different way of exploring the number bonds….

You could chalk a part, part whole model outside and put in objects (cars, apples, buttons) and record ways of making 20.

Or… Complete some activities you haven’t yet had a go at in the number bond booklet.

Or… Draw some part, part whole models on paper with 20 as the whole. How many ways can you find of making 20?

Or… Have another game of ‘Go Fish!’ or the “Bonds to 20 Bus Game’.

The aim is to recall the facts for making 20 but if you need resources (counters, buttons, cars) then that is fine!

Today’s English lesson is on long ladder letters!

Here is the lesson… https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z62gcqt

Can you write three sentences about Christopher Columbus using your best handwriting? It is a good idea to start using the smaller lines ready for Year 2 now that we are in the summer term. You can use facts from the video or facts your can remember from our own class ‘Explorers’ topic.

Maths

We are going to continue to work on our recall of facts to 20. Play the ‘Number Bond Bus Game’ with someone at home.

After your game you could choose a different way of exploring the number bonds….

You could chalk a part, part whole model outside and put in objects (cars, apples, buttons) and record ways of making 20.

Or… Complete the make 20 rainbow.

Or… Draw some part, part whole models on paper with 20 as the whole. How many ways can you find of making 20?

Or… Have another game of ‘Go Fish!’

Or… You could have a go at this number bonds to 20 game… https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk/resource/year-1-number-bonds-to-20-matching-game/

The aim is to recall the facts for making 20 but if you need resources (counters, buttons, cars) then that is fine!

You might also like try one of these music ideas from Mrs West…

Class 1

Learn this song “Red White and Blue”. Ask to borrow 2 wooden spoons and use them to tap them along with the children in the video. First sing the song. Then add the taps (you can tap on every colour word or choose the word red, white or blue to tap on). Then add the floor rhythms. Have fun!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=13&v=7U81Wn-5q2o

Listen and dance along to this music from World War 2. Try different actions to keep the pulse.

Create a postcard…

Imagine you've been Antarctica too. Write a postcard explaining what it was like there.

Decide who you're writing the postcard to. It could be someone in your family, a friend or even your school teacher.
Make sure all your sentences include a capital letter at the start and the correct punctuation at the end.
Remember to finish your postcard with an ending like 'lots of love' or 'from'.

Maths

We are going to continue to work on our recall of facts to 20. Find someone at home who will play this game with you…

Number bond ‘Go Fish!’

Find your blue 0-20 number cards from your home learning pack (or make some new ones).
Mix up the cards and place them face down so you cannot see the numbers.
Player 1 takes two cards – if they make 20 they keep the pair! If they do not make 20 turn them back over!
Player 2 takes two cards – if they make 20 they keep the pair! If they do not make 20 turn them back over!
Repeat until all the cards are gone!
The winner is the player with the most pairs.

After your game you could choose a different way of exploring the number bonds….

You could chalk a part, part whole model outside and put in objects (cars, apples, buttons) and record ways of making 20.

Or… Draw some part, part whole models on paper with 20 as the whole. How many ways can you find of making 20?

Or… I have attached a number bond to 20 booklet – you do not need to do all of this booklet. Pick and choose from it!

Today’s English lesson is a reading lesson using the book ‘Funny Bones’.

(It is Friday’s lesson but I thought you might enjoy it!)

Can you remember when we read this book in class with Ronnie and I told you I could remember it from when I was little?

Here is the lesson… https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z6djqp3

Using the beginnings of the sentences below, write three sentences to show how they could scare each other

The big skeleton will _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The little skeleton will _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

The dog skeleton will _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Maths

Today’s lesson is on number bonds to 10 and how we can use these to help us find the number bonds to 20. The lesson uses the part-whole model. We have used this model lots in class!

Today you start by playing the number bond song from class about making ten…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-number-bonds-with-martin-dougan/zf6cpg8

Then choose a way of exploring the number bonds…. You could chalk a part, part whole model outside and put in objects (cars, apples, buttons) that make 10 then 20. Can you say the phrase ‘? plus ? equals 10’ and ‘? plus ? equals 20’?

Or… You could use the blue number cards from your home learning pack and make pairs to 10 then 20.

Or… You could have a go at the White Rose sheet asking you to complete the part, part and whole for 10 and 20.

Or… You could have a go at this number bonds to 20 game… https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk/resource/year-1-number-bonds-to-20-matching-game/

Try to spot the link between the bonds for 10 and 20. Can you see what is the same? Can you see what is different? If you can’t remember all the ways of making 10 practice these first before you move onto 20.

COMIC RELIEF: THE 2.6 CHALLENGE

The Virgin Money London Marathon alone, which should have taken place on Sunday 26 April, is the world’s biggest one-day fundraising event. You don’t have to run a full marathon to be a hero fundraiser. On Sunday 26th April 2020, take on a challenge of your choosing based around the numbers 2.6 or 26, and fundraise or donate to support the Big Night In. Charities need our support now more than ever. So, if you can make a donation (big or small), it would mean the world to them. Please remember there is no pressure to donate, it’s completely up to you! You could walk, run or cycle 2.6 miles, juggle for 2.6 minutes, climb your stairs 26 times, or bake 26 cupcakes. The options are endless. Just be sure to follow Government guidelines on exercise and social distancing.

Here are a few ideas to get you thinking:

Running challenge - Walk, run or jog 2.6 miles

Yoga challenge - Strench out and relax by completing 26 minutes of yoga

Dog walk challenge - Take your dog out for a 26 minute walk and get some fresh air

Fitness challenge - Get moving and feel stronger by completing 26 push ups, squats or lunges

Virtual quiz - Host a virtual quiz with 26 questions to stay connected with friends and family

Visit https://www.twopointsixchallenge.co.uk for more ideas!

Take lots of photographs – I can’t wait to see what you have decided to do on Monday!

What does it eat?

What is the habitat it lives in like?
