Watch today's video of Mrs Westwood finding number pairs to 10. Can you search your house to find some resources to use to make number pairs to 10? Explore how you could record these, either writing the numbers, drawing lines to represent the amounts etc.

 

Challenge: Can you find the different number pairs for other numbers? For example to make 4 we could have 3 and 1 or 2 and 2. How could you record this? 

English 

Focus -  Can you edit a sentence?

Please watch the video of Miss Gray showing the children a sentence she has written. They should be able to say that it is missing finger spaces, capital letter at the beginning and full stop at the end. If you repeat the sentence a few times so the children can have a go at writing the sentence by sounding out the words. If they find this tricky then have a look back at the video and copy out the sentence.

Please share your sentences on Tapestry.

Challenge – Have a go at writing another sentence by sounding out the words yourself and asking for help with the red words.

Art and Creativity

 

Focus - Can you follow instructions and create a decoration?

 

Miss Gray has filmed a sequence of videos (4) which show the making of a salt dough decoration. Can you follow the videos and have a go at making the dough? At school the children would have been shown how to make the salt dough and then had a go independently of making it themselves. (obviously keeping a close eye on this). It would be great if they could make it and create their own video of themselves doing it!

If you do not have the ingredients please ask your child to draw, paint or create a picture and show it on Tapestry.

Ingredients – 1 cup of plain flour

                         ½ cup of salt

                         Water – small amounts to make a dough

Oven – 150 for about 30 minutes depending on the thickness of the dough. I kept checking to see if it was going hard. (adults only)

Maths

Focus: Can you subitise numbers to 10 and beyond? 

 

Watch the video of Mrs Westwood subitising numbers. This means saying how many there are without needing to count. Can your grown up lay out some objects on the floor and you say how many there are? Lay them out in some common and unusual patterns for you to subitise. 

 

Challenge: Can you write the numbers to represent the amounts?
 

English

Focus: Can you write a sentence?

 

Please watch the video of Miss Gray reading the story 'Stick man'.

Using the printed sheet, if you don't have a printer you can use a piece of paper, can your adult write down the sentence you want to write about the Stick man? Then using scissors, cut up the sentence, just like you would do at school. Your adult then should mix up the words so you can find the right sequence of the sentence again. Don't forget the capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end. Adults, once this has been stuck down again can you please ask the child to copy the sentence focusing on correct letter formation and finger spaces.

Please upload your learning to Tapestry.

 

Challenge - Can you write another sentence?

PSHCE

Focus: Can you recognise ways of making yourself feel better?

 

Watch the story Worried Arthur – The Noisy Night https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oG3VJ-wudA (search on YouTube of the link doesn't work). Each time Arthur feels scared, stop the story and explain what Arthur does to stop himself from feeling scared. Imagine how Arthur must feel after he has spoken to his Dad. At the end of the story where Arthur sees the ‘abominable snowman’, describe what Arthur does to help him feel less worried. Discuss what this means and how this helps him to feel much better. Can you talk about a time when you have shared your worries or concerns with a special person and how this has helped you to feel less worried about something? Can you draw a picture of your special person or upload a video of you explaining your worried time and special person onto Tapestry.
