We love reading and now is the perfect time to get stuck into a book. Have a look at our Can You….? Reading Challenges below, and see which ones you can tick off! Send us a photo of you doing one of the reading challenges and we will pop it on our website. We particularly love the idea of reading to someone over the phone or video chat. How many will you tick off?

Science LO: I can name different fruits and vegetables

This half term our focus in Science is looking at eating healthy food and the importance of including 5 portions of fruit and vegetables in our daily diet.

Have a think about the different fruits and vegetables that you have eaten in the last few days. Which are your favourite fruits and vegetables?Now have a go at making an A-Z list of fruit and vegetables in your home learning book. (You’ll see there is a bit of an alphabet theme this week in our learning! A good chance too to sneak in a few alphabet questions such as ‘What letter comes first/last in the alphabet? How many letters in the alphabet? How many vowels/consonants?)

RE LO: To find out about the bible and why it is important to Christians.

Do you have a favourite/special book? Explain that Christians consider the bible to be their special book. Do you have a bible in your house? If you do go and find it and have a look through it, it has a lot of stories inside one book doesn’t it?Have a look together at the PowerPoint . Discuss how Christians use the bible to help them to live a good life.In your home learning book, write a set of rules which you believe would make the world a better place.

Music LO: I can explore rhythm and pitch through a simple song.This half term, we are going to focus on a BBC unit based around fruit and vegetables, which links really well with our Science work. There are lots of fun songs to help develop the children’s understanding of pitch (high and low sounds), keeping a steady beat and a change in tempo (speed). Above all have fun!From this link https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/music-ks1-music-food-fest-index/zhmyf4j

Listen to song no. 1 ‘One tomatoes, two tomatoes’

• Listen to the famous rhyme ‘One Potato, Two Potatoes’ and catch its rhythm. • Face a partner, to say it with ‘tomatoes’ (instead of ‘potatoes’) while counting out the numbers on your fingers. • Turn this into a song, adding rhythmic ‘munches’ afterwards, all making Verse 1. • Go ‘higher up’ to sing Verse 2 about carrots, with ‘crunch’ instead of ‘munch’. • Verse 3 is higher still, with peas going ‘pop’. • Verse 4 (higher again) has a different rhythm for ‘broccoli’ and the extra sound is ‘scrunch’. • Verse 5 is about potatoes, with the sound ‘yum’.

Geography LO: To use key words to describe different places and environments. To use a map to find seaside locations.

This term our key question is: ‘Why DO we like to be beside the seaside?’

What do we know about the seaside? What is the seaside like? What things can

you do at a seaside resort? Why do people visit seaside resorts? What are these people called? Have you visited a seaside resort? Where was this?

Watch the BBC Video:‘A visit to the seaside’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z8mn34j and think about the main features of the seaside.Can we classify the features into human and physical? (Remember our actions Class 2?)Using Google Maps (or a suitable map) look at the location of our school and the local area, then look at the location of the nearest coast. Where do we live? Where is the nearest seaside resort to us?(e.g. Blackpool, Lytham) Have visited this resort? What is it like? Draw/print a picture of that place for your home learning books and add labels and sentences to tell me what special features that place has, where it is and what there is to see and do. You can make this as creative and colourful as you like and add drawing, photos and pictures!

Art LO: To explore the work of J M W Turner

This week we are learning all about the famous artist Joseph Mallord William Turner. Take a look at: https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/explore/who-is/who-jmw-turnerand see what you can find out about him.Play the game:https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/games-quizzes/quiz-turner-turnip-or-turtle for a bit of extra fun.

‘Turner took his sketchbooks, canvases and his paints out with him every day and painted what he saw.’

This week I want you to do just that…take your paints outside and paint what you can see! (If you haven’t got any paints, don’t worry, pencil sketches and/or coloured pencils will work too.) Take a photo and email it to the class address – I would love to see what you have created!

Stay Active This week we would like to launch the ‘Staying Active Alphabet Challenge!’We want to put together a collection of photos that show how we have been staying active…. in all sorts of ways. This week we would like you to focus on any activities that begin with A – H, so for example…

A- aerobics, athleticsB- bouncing, balancing, beanbag throwC- cycling, circuits, cricketD- dancing, dodgeball E-elastics, egg and spoon raceF- football, frisbeeG- gymnastics,H- hula hooping, hopscotch, handstands

You get the idea, we’re sure you will be able to think of lots of other brilliant activities! Take a photo of you doing an activity beginning with any of these letters

and email it to us. I wonder how many you can try out? Can you get your whole family involved? You could take a letter a day or create your own alphabet activities circuit….the aim is to stay active and have fun! Let’s see if we can get through the whole alphabet!

Let’s keep safe, keep happy and carry on learning!

Best Wishes,

Mrs Robinson and Mrs Turner class2@summerseatmethodistprimary.co.uk
