Task 1:

LO: I can recap and revisit my Maths skills.

Below is another table full of Maths skills to revise for 5 minutes a day which you can tick once you’ve completed. You don’t have to complete all of them each day, just do what you can manage.

Sharing items into groups of 2 (extension: writing the division sum.)

Sharing items into groups of 5 (extension: writing the division sum.)

Sharing items into groups of 10 (extension: writing the division sum.)

Recite bonds to 10/20/100.

Know doubles and halves up to 50/100, identify if a number is odd/even.

Properties and names of 3D shapes.

Task 2:

LO: I can use my chosen method to add or subtract.

* - 1 star

Use some objects (pencils, Lego, cubes) to practically add or subtract these sums. If you are feeling confident, you could even do them in your head/using your fingers!

4 + 6 =

7 + 2 =

10 + 5 =

11 + 3 =

18 + 4 =

10 – 9 =

11 – 1 =

18 – 8 =

17 – 9 =

20 – 10 =

** - 2 stars

You are going to complete some larger additions and subtractions by firstly adding/subtracting the 10, and then the units. For example:

27 + 17 =

Firstly, do 27 + 10 = 37.

Then, add the 7 on. 37 + 7 = 44

I have included a number line if you wish to use it to help you, but the end goal is to complete these mentally by firstly looking at the tens and then the units.

23 + 13 =

32 + 17 =

35 - 13 =

28 - 17 =

29 - 14 =

36 + 12 =

37 – 19 =

« Now choose your own three numbers. Use the three different pyramids underneath to put your numbers.

« Try to get a different number in the top brick each time. « Try again for another set of three numbers.

Challenge

« Choose 2-digit numbers to add to each brick at the bottom of the pyramids.

« Think about the best method to add the numbers together. « Remember to try to get a different number in the top brick

each time.

*** - 3 stars

« Write four different digits to make these correct. « How many different number sentences can you

make?

« Can you create a fact family using the addition sums to create subtraction sums too?

For example:

12 + 34 = 46 34 + 12 = 46 46 – 34 = 12 46 – 12 = 34

Literacy

Task 1:

LO: I can write a letter from a character’s perspective.

We have been doing plenty of work using the book ‘Whatever Next!’ If you haven’t listened to it yet, here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nn73STXrPP0

I would like you to use your imagination and write a letter pretending to be the Owl. You are going to write the letter to Baby Bear. The Owl is going to be very thankful that Baby Bear took him to space. Here is what your letter could look like…

Year 1

Dear Baby Bear,

I wanted to say thank you for our trip to space! I loved it so much because we could see all the stars.

I loved flying past the plane and making friends with you.

It was the best day ever!

Love,

Owl

Year 2

Dear Baby Bear,

I wanted to say thank you so much for our incredible trip to space! I loved it so much because we could see all the sparkling stars and the distant planets.

My favourite part was flying past the plane because we could see the shocked passengers inside, however I did worry that we would crash into them! Luckily we didn’t!

When we landed, I was feeling a bit nervous but that didn’t last long because you were such a good friend. I adored our picnic and definitely want to go back again!

Thank you so much, it was the best day ever!

Lots of love,

Owl

P.S You’re my very best friend! What was your favourite part?

Task 2:

LO: I can write or sing my own song.

On the school website you will find the link to a song about ‘Whatever Next!’ called ‘In a Rocket.’ Can you try singing it?

Have you spotted the rhyming words? Just like poems, songs quite often have rhyming words.

Can you make up your own space song with rhyming words? You can use the same tune or make up your own.

You could maybe film yourself singing the song afterwards! I would love to hear them.

Task 3

LO: I can read a non-fiction book.

This week, I would like you to read a non-fiction book from this library: https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/?view=image&query=&type=book&age_group=&level=&level_select=&book_type=Non-fiction&series=#

Non-fiction means that the book is full of facts. Fiction is a made up story.

Afterwards, your adult could ask you questions to check you’ve understood what you’ve read.

Look out for:

• A Contents page • A Glossary • Fact boxes

• Diagrams which are labelled

Topic

Task 1

LO: I can use the internet to research.

We are coming to the end of our space topic now and it has been lots of fun! However there may still be some things you want to find out about.

Follow the link to this website https://spaceplace.nasa.gov/menu/space/ and click on any topic that interests you. You might want to find out about galaxies or black holes, or gravity or satellites. It is completely your choice!

Task 2

LO: I can recap everything I have learnt during our space topic.

We have been learning about space for a whole term so hopefully you now know plenty of facts! I would like you to recap everything you have learnt and show it in one of the following ways:

• Create a Popplet using an iPad and create a mindmap of all the space facts you have learnt.

• Create a TV show where you share plenty of facts about space. • Create a colourful poster full of all the facts you’ve learnt about space. • You might have your own wonderful idea for how to share your

knowledge!

While doing so, try to think about the following things we have learnt:

• The names of the planets and facts about them (colour, how long their years are, interesting facts)

• Famous astronauts (men, women and animals) • Why there are craters on the Moon • The story of the Moon landing • What craters and meteors are • The Earth’s layers

I can’t wait to see what you have learnt!

Science

LO: I can learn about forces and gravity.

This week you are going to make your very straw rocket to help you learn about forces and gravity.

Forces

A force is a push or a pull. Forces can make objects move or stop, speed them up or slow them down. If you push a toy car it moves, if you push it harder it moves faster. Forces can also make objects change direction or shape.

A lighter object needs less force to move than a heavier object. For example, you could push an empty box easily, but a filled box would be harder, it would need more force to move.

If you give a toy car a push what happens? It speeds up and then slows down. The reason it slows down is because of two forces, air resistance and friction.

Air resistance is air pushing on a moving object which slows it down.

Friction is the force between two objects when you rub them together. Try rubbing your hands together? Do they get hot? You feel the friction between your hands as heat.

Air resistance and friction take time to slow an object down, if you want an object to stop quickly you need to apply further force, for example a brake on a bike.

Gravity

Gravity is the force that pulls objects towards the Earth. It’s the reason we walk on the ground rather than float around.

Gravity also holds Earth and the other planets in their orbits around the Sun.

Did you know?

Gravity also exists on the Moon but it is not as strong as on Earth, which is why astronauts can jump higher on the Moon than on Earth.

Here is an experiment to help you explore forces and gravity!

You will need:

• Wide straw

• Normal Straw

• Sellotape

• Paper

• Card

• Paper clips

• Felt tip pens

What to do:

1. Firstly, cut the wider straw so you have a segment about one third the length of your normal width straw.

2. Then completely seal one end of the wide straw with sellotape so no air can pass through it. Check this by blowing down the straw, does any air escape?

3. After that, draw a picture of a rocket or other space object on a piece of paper and use sellotape (double sided works best) to attach to the wider straw.

4. Next, place the wider straw onto one end of the normal straw and blow!

5. Finally, watch your rocket fly!

Try pointing the straw at different angles and blowing harder/less hard to see how the flight of the rocket changes.

When you blow air down the straw it travels to the end and pushes its way out, taking the rocket straw segment with it as it moves. The harder you blow into the straw the more energy the air has and the further your rocket will fly!

What happens to your straw rocket if you point it straight up? How far does it fly? Does it fly differently if you point it horizontally?

There are two forces acting on the straw rocket. Gravity is pulling it down while the force from you blowing the straw is pushing it forward. These two forces combined give a curved movement. A real rocket needs to overcome the gravitational force downwards.

Extension challenge:

Add some weight to your straw rocket and see if that affects how far it travels, you could use cardboard instead of paper for the rocket or add paper clips!

Welsh

Year 1

This week’s sentence pattern is ‘Sut mae ____?’ This means ‘How is ____?’ You could say ‘Sut mae Sam?’ which means ‘How is Sam?’

You would answer with ‘Mae Sam yn _____’ and say how they are feeling.

Here is some vocabulary about feelings in Welsh.

Year 2

This week’s sentence patterns are ‘Faint ydy dy oed di?’ (How old are you?) and ‘Faint ydy oed ____’ (How old is ____?)

You would answer with ‘Dw i’n ____ oed’ or ‘Mae ____ yn ____ oed.’ Here are some examples:

Question: Faint ydy dy oed di?

Answer: Dw i’n saith oed. (I am seven years old.)

Question: Faint ydy oed Sam?

Answer: Mae Sam yn chwech oed. (Sam is six years old.)

Here is a reminder of the numbers to 20 in Welsh:

PSE

For this activity we are going to be thinking about the word ‘Happiness’.

v What does ‘Happiness’ mean to you?

Happiness means different things to different people and that’s fine as we are all different!

If you haven’t already done so, you could listen to the story called ‘The Jar of Happiness’ that has been read by Mrs Hobbs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbT-H4JFcf8&feature=youtu.be

With your family I’d like you to discuss:

v What happiness feels like to you? (E.g. warm, safe, calm.) v What makes you feel happy?

Often the things that make us happy are small, everyday things rather than large, expensive purchases.

Happiness Activities:

v Use your poetry skills that you developed from last week’s learning pack to create an acrostic poem about happiness.

v Draw the things that make you happy and add words you used to describe how happiness feels to the drawing. You may draw a member of your family or a friend? What do they do or say to make you feel happy?

v Research what makes people happy and think about how you could pass on your happiness to others. It may be that you make a card for a loved one who you haven’t been able to see.
