Hedgehog Class

Monday

Fitness tables

1. Make a set of 1-9 cards and extra cards for 2, 5 and 10, kept separately
2. Pick a card from each group, say 10 and 6. This is your multiplication question
3. Do 10 star jumps and 6 hops (or whatever numbers are on the cards)
4. Calculate and write down the number sentence for your multiplication question (e.g. 10 x 6 = 60)
5. Try again using new cards, and different exercises. Continue repeating the maths and physical activities for 20 minutes.

Challenge

Try different times tables, by adding a 3 and 4 to the pile with 2,5 and 10.

Tuesday

Practise some subtracting digit numbers. Beware of the red subtractions!! J

75-12=                43-38=

67-23=                 64-19=

49-11=                 92-29=

73-22=                74-26=

68-25=                 65-29=

Below you will find some guidance on what methods the children might use. The red subtracting will need to be completed with bar (tens) and dots (ones) as the children have not learnt to carry over a ten in the column method, see guidance below, please ask for more support if needed.

Wednesday

Pick 2 challenges from the challenge cards in the block below.

Thursday

Sofa, so good ( multiplication)

1. How many people can sit comfortably on your sofa?,Stand up and sit down that many times
2. Imagine you had 5 sofas all the same as your real one. How many people would fit on all five altogether? Stand up and down that many times
3. What about 3 sofas just the same as your real one: how many people could sit on 3 sofas like yours? Stand up and down that many times.
4. Write these calculations into your exercise book eg 5x4=20

Challenge

What if you had 4 sofas just like your real one. How many people could sit on those four sofas?

Friday

Arithmetic Test found in block below (2 choices of test- like you do with Mrs Walden, choose your test, are you going to challenge yourself?)– How many can you answer without support? (Remember guidance below on how the children might choose to answer these.)

Monday

Read the long version of Twinkle Twinkle little star (I know… who knew it existed?) In block below

Are there any words you don’t understand, discuss it with an adult, what does each sentence mean?

Can you read it with a rhythm, practise each line?

Once you fully understand each part, I would like you to add little pictures next to each line to illustrate the poem.

Tuesday

Handwriting –

Write out the short version of Twinkle, twinkle little star, I have added a copy of my handwriting below if you would like to copy straight underneath mine.

Try your best to remember the formation of each letter.

-all letters (except capitals) start on the line

-caterpillar letters (a c o d q g) all start with a c

-tall letters ( l t h b k) all start by going straight up.

-try and join but remember some letters are better left not joined to their next letter…. (r  s  b  p g y)

Wednesday

Look back at the poem from Monday, can you find all of the rhyming pairs?

Pick a colour for each pair and highlight them eg..

Twinkle twinkle little star

How I wonder what you are

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky

After you have found all of the rhyming pairs, I would like you to think of 4 words that rhyme with moon, 4 words that rhyme with sun and 4 words that high.

Thursday

Have a go a writing a new version of Twinkle Twinkle… but not about a star… this time about the moon or the sun.  

Use your rhyming words from yesterday, you can keep sentences the same and just change the end word. Keep it as short as you like or try for a long version if you want. You could make every line rhyme with the first, or try some pairs like the original poem. You can make it as silly as you like, all it needs to do is rhyme J

Share them with me on class dojo!

Example …

Glow, Glow little moon,

How I think you’re like a balloon.

Shine, shine giant sun

How I know that you’re the one

Friday

Spellings – common exception words (these are in the back of your homework books- blue sheet, if not I have put them in the spelling block)

Ask an adult to read out as many common exception words as you would like… how many can we spell correctly?

Use 5 chosen common exception words to write sentences. All sentences much include a conjunction ( and, because, but, so, or).

Art: 

Continuing with your planet that you created last week, are there any living creatures?  You need to create an animal and a ‘person’.  Your animal could be anything (you can put 2 real animals together to create a new one) and your ‘person’ also does not have to be real.  Let your imaginations go.  Remember they must stick to the theme of your planet (if your planet was made of sweets then they must be as well).  You can label your creations. 

Creative writing: 

Write a description of your animal and person that you have found on your planet.  Tell me what they look like, what they do, if they have any powers/weaknesses.  Where do they live on the planet (in craters)?  Remember to use full sentences and try to use the conjunctions:  because, and, but, so.  Don’t forget adjectives! 😊    

Science: 

Design a bug hotel.  Think of the different types of minibeasts that you would like in your hotel and what their habitat needs.  Don’t forget to label your hotel.  

French: 

Complete one or two of the Easter egg French colour pages, don’t forget to keep practising the pronunciations of the colours. Can you also remember how to say each number in French? 

(Sheets found in block below)

RE:  

Read through the Easter Journal with an adult, can you answer the questions about the story?  

PowerPoint in block below.  

Monday

Active activity  –

1. Put a set of 1-20 number cards around the room or garden in different places
2. Jump around the activity area and collect a card, then continue and jump to collect the card which when added to the first one will make 20
3. Carry on playing until all 20 cards have been collected and paired up
4. Vary the way you travel each time.
5. (If need be only use 1-10 cards or extend it to finding pairs to 100)

Challenge

Put the cards face down. Can you remember where the pairs of cards are that total 20? Jump to find each pair of cards!

Tuesday

Practise some adding 2 digit numbers. Beware of the red sums!! J

45+12=                43+38=

56+23=                 34+19=

37+11=                 62+29=

46+22=                36+26=

52+25=                 65+29=

Below you will find some guidance on what methods the children might use.

Wednesday

Star Jump maths –

Take a few objects, such as toy bricks, marbles, pebbles etc, and count them. There should be less than 10

Put them in a pile somewhere else

Repeat this twice more, so you have three small piles of a number of objects

Now add the numbers of the three piles together and note it down in a number sentence e.g. 4 +6 + 5 = 15

Do that many star jumps! Repeat with 3 different piles. How many different number sentences can you create?

Challenge

Try adding a bigger pile (more than 10 objects) to a smaller pile, and doing that many star jumps as well!

Thursday

Draw and measure (worksheet to be found in block below)… using a ruler and pencil draw the different length lines according to the worksheet. You do not need to print the sheet, just use the measurements.

Challenge

Can you draw a square with sides of 5cm and a rectangle with the length of 5cm and the width of 3cm?

Friday

Arithmetic Test found in block below – How many can you answer without support? (Remember guidance below on how the children might choose to answer these.)

Monday

Reading Comprehension (please choose from the colours below depending on your child’s reading colour)

Tuesday

Noun hunt.

Can you find 3 nouns beginning with s, 3 nouns beginning with a and 3 nouns beginning with t somewhere around your house? If you are struggling, maybe look in your reading book, some may be in there.

 Remember a noun is an person, place or thing… we try to remember them by saying can I see it, touch it, can I put the or a in front of it? Table…. The table (works) … but skipping… The skipping (doesn’t work).. this rule obviously doesn’t work with all nouns but it can help identify most.)

Wednesday

Handwriting –

Practise your handwriting by picking 3 sentences in your reading book to copy out. Try your best to remember the formation of each letter.

-all letters (except capitals) start on the line

-caterpillar letters (a c o d q g) all start with a c

-tall letters ( l t h b k) all start by going straight up.

-try and join but remember some letters are better left not joined to their next letter…. (r  b  p g y)

Thursday

Adjectives –

Can you find an amazing adjective and use it in 3 completely different sentences? It can be one that you have found in a book, an adult has given you or just one that you have thought of. Repeat this for 2 more adjectives.

Remember an adjective is a word that describes something.

Friday

Spelling test – how many words can you remember (and spell correctly) with the sound zh spelt with s. (See spelling rule below)

Use 3 of your correct spellings to create a silly short story.

(If you can share this with me on class dojo)

Practise your French colours, a worksheet can be found in the block below, you can either use your computer to colour it in, print it off, or create your own version by copying it into your exercise book. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zduapTwsSwA listen to the song to help you with the pronunciations.  

Art

You have discovered a new planet.  Draw a large circle.  Take your pencil for a walk (draw squiggles and curved lines without lifting your pencil up. Fill your planet!).  Then choose 3 colours and colour in the random spaces creating a pattern.     

Creative writing

 Write a brief description of the planet you discovered.  What is it made of?  Does it have a name?  Try and be as creative as you can, remember magpie ideas from other stories (I have just discovered a new planet, it is the most colourful planet you have ever seen.  When I landed on it, it was really squishy.  I bent down and noticed it was made from slime but when I walked the slime let off a beautiful smell (like candy floss).   

Science

What do seeds need to grow?  Investigate what seeds need to grow by growing some seeds in plastic cups and cotton wool.  Make sure some have water, some don't, some have light and some don't.  Then over the next few weeks observe and record how well each one is growing.  

The seedlings can then be planted in your garden or given to a neighbour.  😊
