TOPIC- Food The project this week aims to provide opportunities for your child to learn more food. Learning may focus on where different foods originate from, what makes a healthy meal, opportunities to cook etc . We have also included some PSHE/ wellbeing activities to have a go at to help you through this difficult time.
Cooking: Find a few
recipes and check if you
have the ingredients at
home and cook a meal or
a treat for your family.
You could think about a
starter, main and
dessert. Can you cook as
a family? Who will do the
measuring?
Healthy lunchbox:
Watch this video to learn
more about eating a
healthy diet.
Can you play this game and
make a healthy lunchbox?
Imagine you were going on
a picnic with your family.
Draw a picture of the food

your picnic.

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
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. Why
not follow along with this video and
give it a go!
Cosmic Kids Yoga is another great
resource for this if you prefer your
yoga through a story!
Wish Jar
I bet there are lots of things you are
missing doing at the moment! When
you are really missing doing
something, write it down and put it in
a jar. This can be a jar of ideas for
things to do once we come out of
lockdown!
Acts of Kindness
Being kind is a fantastic way to make
people around us happy and it can
make ourselves feel good too! See if
you can do something kind every day
this week and, if you want to, you
could record it on this kindness
chart.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is about focusing on
right now and not thinking or
worrying about anything else. See if
you can stop doing anything for one
minute and just listen to what you
hear. Close your eyes if it helps! If
you wanted to, you could write down
all the things you hear, try again
tomorrow and see if you hear the
same things!

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:
Play a game of find the number bond. Using post-it notes or scrap
pieces of paper, write some of the number bonds to 10. Then, get
someone to hide one of each pair around the house and see if you can
find the partners!
Play a game of find the number bond. Using post-it
notes or scrap pieces of paper, write some of the
number bonds to 20. Then, get someone to hide one of
each pair around the house and see if you can find the
partners!
Can you carry on the pattern? Use a part part whole model to help you!
0 + 18 = 18
1 + 17 = 18
2 + 16 = 18
How many different ways can you make the number 18? I’ll start you
off with 3 examples:
18 = 16 + 2 6 x 3 = 18 20 – 2 = 18
Start with any number of ‘pins’ (you could use plastic bottles, plastic cups or anything else you think you could knock over!) and play bowling.
Create subtraction calculations to show how many fell or how many are left.
KS1 Home Learning 8th June 2020
Get an adult to say a 2 digit number for you to write down. Can you get
the tens and ones the right way around? Can you write one more than
that number? One less? Can you draw the tens and ones?
Go out for a walk and for every number plate you see can you…
• Tell an adult the number of 10s and 1s in the 2 digit number?
• Add 10 to the 2 digit number?
• Take 10 away from the 2 digit number?
• Create your own addition or subtraction number sentence using
the number?
• Work out how many more you would need to get to 100?
Ask someone in your house to write down 2 digit numbers on post it
notes or scrap pieces of paper. Can you put them in order? Which is the
biggest? Which is the smallest? Try this with different numbers- see
if you can do numbers up to 100!
Can you work out the answer to
this question?
See if you can write some of
your own problems for someone
in your family to work out the
answers to! Think about things
in your house you could use.
For example:
I have 12 toys and I want to share them with my brother. How many
would we get each?
I drank 6 glasses of water today, my mum drank 4 and my dad drank
8. How many did we drink altogether?
