I read a book this morning With photos of the past;

Of memories when I was young, And sounds that always last.

There are new videos available from 9:30 every day showing new sounds being taught for set 1, 2 and 3. Please refer to the speeds sounds charts in the back of your child’s planners (pages 108-109) for more information about the different sets. Set 1 - the bouncy vowels and the stretchy and bouncy consonants on the simple sounds chart Set 2 - the stretchy vowels on the simple sounds chart Set 3 – the additional sounds on the complex sounds chart * Please note, any modelling of handwriting in these videos does not follow our pre-cursive scheme.

How is the story similar to the original story of Jack and the Beanstalk? How is it different?

Was Jim scared of the Giant at the start of the story? Why?

At the end of the story, why do you think Jim ran away and chopped the beanstalk down?

Is the Giant good at spelling? Can you mark his letter?

Activity 2:- New writing

Watch video clips 5-9.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/school-radio/english-ks1-jack-and-the-

Tell the next bit of the story to someone in your family, then have a

go at writing it. Try to make it exciting!

Activity 3:- New writing

Finish watching the clips and add an ending to your story. It could be

the same or you could change it in some way.

Activity 4:- Review, edit and improve

Read your story and check that it makes sense. Did you remember full

stops and capital letters? Could you make it better by adding some

adjectives? Look at the ‘Extra Challenge’ column for other ways you

writing even better:

bulging

flabbergasted…

Do you need any question marks

or exclamation marks in your

are they spelt correctly?

Have you chosen the correct

phonics ‘special friends’ to spell

other words?

Maths

Our school has now subscribed to the White Rose Maths scheme.

This week we are learning about weight and mass and then capacity and volume.

Please click here and watch the Week 5, Day 4 Video, which introduces the weight and mass topic. Then

follow the Week 6 lessons.

The worksheets to support all these lessons are on the website. Look for the WRM (White Rose Maths)

pdf documents. There some Mastery Activities for those of you who would like more challenge.

There are also Friday Challenge activities. Have a go at a few of these. Focus on explaining how you found

an answer and why you think it is correct. Is it possible for some challenges to have more than one

correct answer?

Maths

Try these ‘Two Minute Challenge’ activities to practise your mental

recall of different number bonds. Start at Level 1. How many

questions can you answer correctly in two minutes? (You will need to

get your answers marked). Repeat it another day – can you improve

your score? If you score more than 30/40, move up a level.

There are 8 levels at the moment…let us know if you need higher

levels.

Science Looking at Seasonal Change

what you see with the pictures from when we visited in the Autumn.

What is the same? What is different?

Can you identify any of the plants or trees you see there? You could

use these to help you:

Art/DT Get creative and have a go at making your own beanstalk for one of

your toys to climb up. Here’s one idea you could try which uses a

cardboard tube, green card, lolly sticks and cotton wool. Perhaps you

could number the leaves in steps of 2, 5 or 10…

Cooking Here’s a yummy jelly bean cookie recipe for you to try. If you don’t want to use jelly beans, you could try raisins or chocolate chips instead. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/271008/jelly-bean-cookies/

PSHE - Thinking of others Lots of you are doing really well learning at home. For some it’s a very tricky time. Many of us are missing our school friends and teachers. Take some time to think about a message you could send to the rest of your class. Write your message out and perhaps draw a picture too. Don’t forget to add your name! Then email it to Mrs Linkens by Friday 5th June. Please include your name and class. She will put all your messages into a slideshow and share it with your class.

RE - Key question for this half term - Is Shabbat important to Jewish children? Engagement lesson:

Sing along to one of these Days of the

Week songs - 1 or 2

Think about and discuss:

Which day is the most special

for you and why?

What do you do on a Saturday?

Who do you spend it with?

How does it differ from rest of the

week?

Play Charades – take it in turns to act

out something you would usually do

on a Saturday – can your family guess

what it is?

Geography For most of this half term we are going to be thinking about seaside places. This week we’d like you to learn

this vocabulary- beach, cliff, sea,

ocean, coast

Look at photographs from a visit

that your family has made to the

beach, or look at the one we have

saved. Can you use those words to

describe what you see?

Eg) The beach is made from sand

and stones. The cliffs are very

high.

Find the coastline on a map of the

UK. You could colour around it to

show where the sea is.

Challenge:

Can you name the countries within

the UK?

Can you name the capital cities?

PE Athletics skills Practise these rope skipping skills:

Skip on the spot turning the rope forwards – how many skips can you do in a minute?

Can you run and skip? How far can you go in a minute? Practise these skills each day and keep a record of what you achieve – have you improved over the week?
