TOPIC- Transition and Changes

The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to start thinking about their new school year and new class and the changes that

happen in life. (Resources can be found at the bottom of the pack)

Transition Superheroes

Superhero Profile –

You are about to become a transition

superhero. Think what your

superhero name would be, your

secret identity (your real name), your

super powers (what subjects /

activities are you good at), your

weaknesses (things you would like to

get better at) and ways that you are

going to change the world (their

hopes and dreams for the future).

Superhero Shield Design –

Every superhero needs a shield.

Create a design to match your

superhero character. Can you think

of pictures to add to the design (to

highlight their strengths / talents /

interests)?

Superhero Outlines –

Take a photo of your head and print a

superhero template. Cut out the

photo and stick it to the body of the

superheroes and then decorate the

Music

Think about how music is always

changing?How do we change musical

sounds?

Watch the video about Dynamics to

hear some loud and soft sounds.

https://safeyoutube.net/w/KvHM

Watch the video about Tempo to

hear some fast and slow beats.

https://safeyoutube.net/w/6wHM

We call these Musical Elements.

Rhythm Maker

Using Chrome Music Lab choose your

own band to play different rhythms.

Click on the dots to add a musical

beat.

The arrow on the right changes the

style of rhythms with a new band

and set of instruments.

Will you choose fast or slow

rhythms?

Saying Farewell

Ending the school year is a time for

you to say farewell to current

teachers and sometimes to

classmates too. Talk with a grown up

about the friendships you have made

this year. Who is important to them

and why? What are they going to

miss most about

their

teacher and

support

staff? Draw

around your

hand on paper

and then

carefully cut it out. On the template,

draw or write a goodbye message

your teacher. On each finger, write

the qualities that this special person

has displayed e.g. kindness, being

helpful, etc.

Setting some goals

Read or listen to the story ‘Giraffes

Can’t Dance’. Talk about how Gerald

the giraffe showed determination

when trying to achieve his goals.

What would you like to achieve next

year, e.g. ‘to improve my handwriting’,

‘count in tens’ or ‘show more kindness

to others’. After this, choose 5

things from the list which you would

like to achieve during your next

school year. Work with a family

member to create a vision board.

This can be done by cutting out

pictures that represent the goals,

pasting onto card and decorating.

PSHE/ Wellbeing

As continue with lock down procedures, we would like to have a focus on the children’s wellbeing and these tasks should help you to focus on that.

Yoga for children

Yoga is a great way to help to improve

our mental wellbeing.

Cosmic Kids Yoga has so many different

stories.

GoNoodle also has some amazing

resources. Try their Bee Breath video,

or any of their stretching videos. They

have a whole category for mindful

videos.

What makes you special?

Think about what

makes you

special. What

makes you

different to

other people?

Ask family members what they

think makes you special. Record the

things that make you special on a

person template.

You could create a collage using cut

out pictures from magazines that

represent the things that make you

special, or, you could draw pictures

to represent the things that make

you special. Talk about the

importance of being unique

together.

Friendship Jar

Think of all the fun and good times

you have previously had with your

friends. Using coloured paper draw

or write down your favourite

friendship memories. You could use

blue paper for future things you

would like to do

together. Use a jam

jar or a plastic bottle

to collect the

memories; you could

even personalise their jar with

decoration.

I am an amazing person!

We are all an amazing person. Have a

think of what makes you amazing.

Look at the sheet below and think of

all the reasons that make you

amazing.

Maths

This section is split into ‘basic skills’ and ‘Main Task’. Please choose a section to complete depending on how confident your child is at maths. If

your child might need an extra boost or reminder of basic skills in maths, then please complete the ‘basic skills’ tasks.

From now on our maths will really focus in on the 4 operations and ensuring that the children’s basic skills are kept going for when they return to school. It

is so important to continue practising number bonds to 10 and 20, counting in their 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s and beginning to learn their 2, 5, and 10 times tables.

Here are some things to keep doing as well as the tasks below:

● Work on Numbots - how many levels can you complete?

● Work on MyMaths- see what we have added this week to continue your learning!

● Play on Hit the Button - focus on number bonds, halves, doubles and times tables. You could also try some of these other activities - The Gingerbread

Man, Place Value Basketball, Mental Maths Game, Placing a number on a number line, Number fact families, Minus Mission

If you are in year 1, start with the basic skills section, but feel free to move on to the main task if you are ready for it!

Basic Skills: Main Tasks: This week we are going to look at measurement. When measuring weight (mass), we

measure in grams (g). When measuring liquid (capacity), we measure in millilitres (mls).

Find 3 objects in your house and think about which one is the heaviest. How

do you know it is the heaviest? Is the biggest one always the heaviest?

If you have scales, use them to weigh it. See if you can read the number if

it is a 2 digit number. If it is 3 digits, read each digit and ask an adult to

help you read the whole number!

Find a selection of objects in your house. How heavy are these objects? Hold 2

objects in your hands (1 in each). Which object is the heavier object? Can you order

them from lightest to heaviest?

Challenge: can you use scales to see how many grams they are. Can you add together

two weights?

Follow a recipe and see if you can measure the ingredients using scales. Make sure

you measure the ingredients correctly otherwise the recipe will not work.

Here is a simple cupcake recipe you could use.

https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/vanilla-cupcakes

Can you make sure that the scales match the number on the recipe?

How many cupcakes will you have left if you eat 1?

Could you share your cupcakes

between you and the person

making them? How many would

you get each?

Follow a recipe and see if you can measure the ingredients using scales. Make sure

you measure the ingredients correctly otherwise the recipe will not work.

Here is a simple cupcake recipe you could use.


Use a timer to help you count the time, or if you want a challenge, try using a clock

to work out what time it will be when your cupcakes are ready!

How can you arrange the cupcakes

to show different number

sentences? For example, these

cupcakes could be showing:

4 + 4 + 4 = 12

3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 12

3 x 4 = 12

4 x 3 = 12

Find different containers around your house. Fill them with water. Which container holds the most water? Which container holds the least amount of water? How many of

one container will it take to fill another container?




Use a measuring jug, look at the lines on the side of the jug. Can you measure different amounts of water so that the jug is empty, nearly empty, half full, nearly full and

full.

Get 3 different sized containers. Use a measuring jug to measure 100mls. Does 100mls look the same in each container? Why?


Maths challenges

Who is correct?
