Welcome to your blended learning 

Week 2 

Week beginning 1st March 2021 

This is your last week of blended learning before school reopens for everyone. We can’t wait to see you all. We will keep updating the blended learning page so that if you are self isolating there will be some lessons for you to do at home.

This week we are looking at New Life and Growing 

There will be two live sessions this week on TEAMS so help the children prepare for coming back to school. Please check times and days on Teams and there is also a tapestry post. 

Our shared reading text is TITCH

Please look on tapestry for this recorded video

These are some comprehension questions for you to answer.

Who is the main character?

Who was bigger than Titch?

Who had a great big bike?

Why couldn’t Titch get up the hill? How do you think he felt? 

What happened to Marys kite? 

What instrument did Mary play? 

What happened to the tiny seed? 

Talk to your grown up about the answers and see if you write a sentence to answer one of the questions. Eg Pete had a great big bike. 

Remember say your sentence, write down the sounds you can hear and use your finger spaces then end your sentence with a full stop. 

There are home work bingo activities linked to “look how I’ve grown” week 2. 

To link in with the story Titch by Pat Hutchins we are looking at the shape space and measure element of maths

Blended Learning Week beginning 8^th February

Chinese New Year: Welcome to a new week! Your final week of home learning before a well-deserved half term holiday! The Chinese New Year of the Ox will begin on 12 February 2021. It will be year 4719 on the Chinese Calendar. Until then, it is still the Year of the Rat which began on 25 January 2020. We hope you really enjoy your week of learning all about the Chinese New Year!

Maths: We are focusing on some more work within 10 this week. We are working on building the children’s knowledge!

Lesson 7 - Exploring one less within 10: https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/exploring-one-less-within-10-cgtk0c

Lesson 8 – Placing numbers within 10 in order:

Number blocks x 2 episodes:

Ten again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Gl9-HG2SpQ

Learn to count up to 10: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y_f7p9CHxI

Other maths activities:

Chinese New Year ordering & sequencing game: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ordering-and-sequencing/chinese-dragon-ordering

* Using your ten frame at home, can you complete an activity where you start with 0 items on there (this can be counters, sweets, blobs of playdough etc), then write down

0+1 = 1 and place an item on your ten frame,

1 + 1 more = 2 and place another on and so on until your ten frame is full! This can then be repeated with the ten frame being full, and working back from 10, so

10 – 0 = 10, 10 – 1 = 9, 9 – 1 = 8 and so on until the final number sentence will say 1 – 1 = 0

This can be extended to incorporate two numbers that go together to make ten! So 1 + 9 = 10 or 6 + 4 = 10.

White Rose Maths: Building 9 & 10, there are five lessons to choose from here.

https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/building-9-10-week-1/

Our text this week is Spider Sandwiches. We have recorded the story and posted it on Tapestry for you all to see. You can also follow this link to a Vimeo of the story. https://nfamilyclub.com/try-this-at-home/spider-sandwiches/

Questions to answer after listening to the story:

1. What is the Monsters name in the story?

2. What kinds of food does he like to eat? Could you make a list of some of these things?

Eg. Slug milkshake 

      Beetle biscuits

3. Which different places does Max visit in the story?

Eg. Space

4. What is Max’s favourite food in the world?

5. If you were to make a spider sandwich with strange sandwich fillings from your cupboard what would you include? Maybe chocolate spread on 2 slices of bread, raisin eyes and twiglet legs. Could you look in your cupboards to see what you could use to make a disgusting “spider sandwich” that you could make and eat? Take a picture and pop it on tapestry for us to see?

The resources that could be used are the ten frame, part whole model, and the number line to 20. You can use anything you like to represent the numbers, for example, pieces of play dough made into balls, pieces of pasta, Lego, coins etc.

Please accept our apologies but the live links from Oak Academy would not copy direct to here for you to be able to click on, therefore please either type the link in below or copy and paste it into a new browser. We are very sorry for this inconvenience. 

Literacy:  this week we are giving you three links for three lessons linked to the Gingerbread Man story. These three lessons are very closely linked together as the children develop their knowledge and understanding of the story and story writing/creating.

The Gingerbread Man -

Understanding the conversation of 8 - 

https://classroom.thenational.academy/lessons/understanding-the-conservation-of-number-within-8-chgp8t

Number blocks series 2, episode 8 is all about number 8.  Can you ask your child to count 8 objects? Can they tell you what one more and one less than 8 is? Can they show you using objects and add one or take one away? Can you play a matching game with different images of 8 on pieces of paper and if they turn two over that match, they keep that pair! Images of 8 could be the digit, 8 lines, 8 stars, 8 dots all spaced out differently. 

Using 8 objects ask your child to split them into two groups and make number sentences. Ask them to say the number sentence as they are doing this, eg 1 add 7 more equals 8 and also showing them that 7 add 1 more is also equal to 8. Help your child record these number sentences either using dots to show the amounts or by writing the numbers. 

We use white rose maths to support our teaching in school -

please go to white rose home learning early years Alive in 5 week 2. This is some consolidation work of composition of numbers to 5. You can also apply this knowledge to larger numbers with your child.

Shared Reading - Please search on Youtube for 'Cbeebies Bedtime story Aliens love underpants'. Here are some questions you can ask your child based on this text and are the same type of questions we would ask during a reading session in school, you could pause the video at different points. We hope you enjoy this rhyming story! 

Q1 - What noises does the spaceship's radar make? (A - bleeps and blinks)

Q2 - Which underpants do they like best of all? (A - Granny's spotted bloomers)

Q3 - Whose underpants do they use as a super whizzy slide? (A - Grandad's woolly long johns)

Literacy:  The Gingerbread Man -  Lesson 1 - To listen to and join in with a story (thenational.academy) 

Story time: Whatever next by Jill Murphy -  Whatever Next | Kids Books Read Aloud - YouTube

RWI: Review the sounds from your set 1 sound mat. Can your child say the sound of every letter of special friends (two letters that make just one sound, for eg, sh)? We have included a photo of the set 2 sound mat that the children have been learning in school before the Christmas holidays. Please could you review these sounds also?

Word cards/key rings. It will be important that your child continues to read these words. The final aim is to be reading these on sight but if they are finding this tricky then they can say the sounds of the word out loud (fred talk) or silently to themselves (fred in their head) and then blend the sounds together to read the word. They may need your help to do this blending with some words that they aren't familiar with.

To find out more about how we teach reading and writing through Read Write Inc and to help with daily phonics and reading activities  then please search for Ruth Miskin Training on facebook or go to the link www.ruthmiskin.com. This will give you a daily schedule of lessons available at 9.30 each day which will recap sounds, green words and tricky red words as well as reading and writing sentences.

Maths:  Number 6 - Consolidation of counting to 6 (thenational.academy)

Number blocks episodes can be found on BBC iPlayer or You Tube. We use these in school to support children in learning mathematical concepts.  

Number 6, series 2, episode 1 will support learning about number 6. Can you use objects with your child to find different ways to make 6? Try and focus on splitting the objects into two different groups so that they can see that the two group (two parts) are equal to 6. 

Series 2, episode 9 has a focus on number doubling. Double 3 is 6. Can your child represent this using their fingers, dice, objects and spots? Can they write the number sentence 3 + 3= 6? Work through the number doubles of 1,2 3 4 5 and 6 with your child.

Literacy:  The Gingerbread Man -  Lesson 2 - To map and speak the story (thenational.academy)

Maths:  Number 7 - Recognising and counting numbers within 7 (thenational.academy)

Number blocks number 7, series 2, episode is all about number 7. Can you ask your child to count 7 objects? Can they tell you what one more and one less than 7 is? Can they show you using objects and add one or take one away? You could write numbers on paper and ask your child to order them. As they are doing this, say "one more than one is two, one more than two is three."

Using 7 objects ask your child to split them into two groups and make number sentences. Ask them to say the number sentence as they are doing this, eg 5 add 2 more equals 7 or 3 add 4 make 7. Help your child record these number sentences either using dots to show the amounts or by writing the numbers. 

Series 3, episode 13 helps children understand that numbers past 5 are made up of 5 and a bit. This helps children learn their number bonds. Eg 7 is made of 5 and 2 more, 5 add 2 is equal to 7.
