Supermovers (We love these in class!)

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

Watch Seymour Science’s video here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zkvv4wx/articles/zcx3gk7

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

You can find it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zhk9vwx

 

Have a go at writing simple alliteration

Write some sentences about people in our class. Use alliteration!

• Write some sentences about people in our class.

Then… Play some games in Education City.  You could practice telling the time, measuring or naming 2D or 3D shapes!

 

Or… Have a look at the games on Classroom Secrets Kids in the Year 1 area! https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk/category/year-1/year-1-maths/maths-games-year-1-maths/ Choose any of the games on here – you could continue to work on money from last week or revise reading, writing, counting and making numbers to 100.  The free subscription has been extended until the end of term!

STEM Challenge – Build a Cereal Box Marble Run

 

Have you ever wondered what to do with those empty cereal boxes? Follow the simple instructions on the attached sheet to make a cereal box marble run. If you don’t have a spare cereal box, another cardboard box will work just as well!

 

 

 

Challenge

 

Can you make a marble roller coaster, which brings a marble down from a starting height of 1 metre without any drops of longer than 5cm?

 

You could make it a competition with your family – whose marble takes the longest to successfully descend 1 metre?

 

Remember to send me any pictures or videos of your marble runs and roller coasters on Showbie or via email. I look forward to seeing what you produce!

#PinYourThanks

 

 

We know that lots of our families would like to say thank you to others who have helped over the last few months. From the postman who delivered cards that cheered us up, to a neighbour who has done some shopping, to a doctor or nurse, a friend who called for a chat etc.

 

PinYourThanks are inviting you to enter a competition to design a pin badge to say thank you to someone who has helped you (or your wider family) over the last few months.

 

The winning entry will be turned into a real pin badge and sold, alongside other badges designed by national treasures including Ringo Starr and Joe Lycett. Every pin badge sold raises money for NHS Charities Together and Volunteering Matters.

 

Use the attached template to design your badge.

Send me your completed designs on Showbie or via email by Friday, 10^th July 2020 so that I can enter them for you!

Today’s English lesson is reading comprehension. This is a great book – George’s Marvellous Medicine. Some of you might have heard this story before!

 

You can find it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z87fxbk

 

Have a go at some the comprehension tasks – you can discuss them with an adult, you do no need to write down all of the answers.

 

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!
