Home Learning Project Week Beginning 15.06.2020Dear Parent and carer,Please see the information below for activities your child needs to do at home during the current school closure. We will ask the children to bring their work into school when we reopen so that we can celebrate their learning.Please remember to visit your child’s class blog page for links to the recommended websites.

Maths Writing Topic Reading

Day 1 Daily: Practise 2,5 and 10 times table. You can also practise your times tables by using Times Tables Rock Stars.Lesson 1: I can recognise a unit fraction as one equal part of a whole.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z4j83j6

Before we look at unit fractions, watch this KS1 Maths video from Bitesize to remind yourself all about fractions.

What is a fraction?A fraction tells you how many parts of a whole you have. Let's

Day 1: I can use adjectives to describe a woodland habitat.

First think of a woodland habitat you have visited or find one online to describe.

Adjective recap:

An adjective is a word that describes a noun (the name of a thing or a place).

'It was a terrible book.'

The word 'terrible' is an adjective. It tells us what the book (the noun) was like.

'The book she read on holiday was terrible.' or 'She read a terrible book on holiday.'

Day 1: I can find out about woodland habitats.

What is a habitat?

A habitat is where animals and plants live.

Watch this clip below (click on woodland habitat clip):

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zhvmt39What living things lived in the woodland habitat in the clip?

Can you think of any other living things that might live in the woodland habitat and why?

Day 1: I can complete missing parts of the story.Read/listen to ‘The Scarecrows Wedding’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdE-zUSa0QcThe two scarecrows Harry and Betty agreed to get married.

They said it was going to be the _____________________________.

They made a

take a look at some different fractions.

When you divide something into two equal parts, each part is called a half.

When you divide a whole object into four equal parts, each part is called a quarter.

Fractions are shown by having one number on top of another, for example:

You would pronounce this fraction as either 'one quarter' or 'one over four' or 'one out of four.'

The top number is called a numerator. This shows how many parts you have (1 in this example).The bottom number is called a

Adjectives can come before or after a noun.

Try putting adjectives in different places in your sentences to make your writing more interesting. E.g. 'She had a mouldy, smelly, overpriced sandwich.'

If you want to describe a noun in detail, you can use more than one adjective.

First of all you are going to create an adjective poster of all the different adjectives you can think of. Think of how you could describe how big/ small something is, how it feels, what it looks like etc.

Once you have created your adjective poster look and see if there are any adjectives you could use to describe your chosen woodland habitat.

Look at or think of your woodland habitat. Now create an adjective poster for your woodland habitat. You could draw your woodland in the middle or print out a picture of your chosen woodland, stick in the middle and then label your adjectives around

Play the woodland habitat game:

denominator. This shows you how many parts the whole object has been divided into (4 in this example).

What is a unit fraction?A unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the number on the top of the fraction) is 1. The denominator (on the bottom) can be any other whole number.

A good way to remember it is by remembering that unit means 1!

Here are some examples of unit fractions: ½, ¼ and ¹⁄₁₀

We can represent fractions using bar models. Take a look at these two below.

How are they different?

One is divided into three equal parts, or thirds.

The other is divided into four equal parts, or quarters.

it.

Once you have thought of different adjectives, look at whether you can improve these by making them more exciting e.g. you could change big tree to huge green tree.

Finally, use your adjectives to write your own descriptive sentences for your chosen woodland habitat.

How are they the same?They each have 1 of the parts shaded.

In the top bar, 1 of the 3 parts is shaded. This is ⅓.

In the bottom bar, 1 of the 4 parts is shaded. This is ¼.

They both have 1 as the numerator (top number). They are unit fractions (unit means ‘one’).

Top tipRemember when a whole is divided into parts, they must be equal.

Question:I am thinking of a number. One quarter of my number is 6.

What is my number?Will one third of my number be more than or less than 6?

Answer:If ¼ is 6, the whole is four lots of 6. You could work that out as a repeated addition 6 + 6 + 6 + 6 = 24 or a multiplication 6 x 4 = 24.

⅓ of 24 is 8, which is more than 6.Practise:Activity 1For today's first activity, let's get moving! Move along with this Super Movers film featuring 'The Denigineers' Joe Tracini.

Day 2 Daily: Practise 2,5 and 10 times tableLesson 2: I can recognise non-unit fractions.https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z6cbhcw Today you're going to learn about non-unit fractions to follow on from yesterday's lesson on unit fractions.In case you need a quick refresher, watch this 1st Level Maths and Numeracy video from Bitesize to remind yourself all about fractions.

What is a non-unit fraction?A non-unit fraction is a fraction where the numerator (the top number) is greater than 1. The denominator (the bottom number) can be any whole number.

Here are some examples of non-unit fractions: ⅖, ⁷⁄₁₂ and ¾We can represent fractions using

Day 2: I can understand and identify the features of a non-chronological report.Non-Chronological Report. A non-chronological report is a text which isn't written in time order. They are normally non-fiction texts which give information on a particular subject or event, without referring to the order in which things happen.

Please look at the non-chronological features mat below:

Features of a non-chronological report:Title e.g. Woodland Habitat.Introduction : This could be a short paragraph explaining what the report is about and what people could find out if they read it.

Paragraphs: The information will be organised into paragraphs. You might have a paragraph about trees and a paragraph about the wildlife that lives there.

Day 2: I can create a fact poster about a woodland.

Have a look on these websites and write down anything you find out or find interesting so you can use it to help you make a fact poster about woodland habitats.

https://www.rspb.org.uk/fun-and-learning/for-kids/facts-about-nature/facts-about-habitats/woodlands/

https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/habitats/

https://www.theschoolrun.com/homework-help/forest-and-woodland-habitats

Create a fact poster about woodlands.

Things you might want to include are:

What lives hereWhy is it different to other habitatsWhen is the best place to visit

Day 2: I can answer questions about what I have read.

1. What word does the author (Julia Donaldson) use to describe the snail? Why do you think she used this word?

2. Which part of the story do you like the most? Why?

3. What was the problem in the story?

4. Why do you think the farmer puts a new scarecrow in the field?

5. Who was the villain in the story?

6. Why did he run away?

Make a list of questions that you could ask the characters in the story. How might they reply?

To use some of the resources for the lesson you will need to complete a parent sign up for the ‘Maths with Parents’ page. https://mathswithparents.com/parents/

To start the lesson, you can watch the video ( see what looks like below) that explores how to find half of shape or an amount.

A fraction tells you how many parts of a whole you have. Fractions are shown by having one number on top of another, for example:

Day 3: I can plan a non-chronological report.

Today you are going to plan a non-chronological report about a woodland habitat ( you can use your fact poster to help you).

Remember when you plan it will only be key words and short sentences.

What can you remember about a non-chronological report? What are the features?

Check the mat below for the different features.

If you have a Twinkl account you could use the link below to help you plan your non-chronological report.

Remember the features as you are

Day 3: I can find a woodland habitat and label it.

There are some pictures below if you want to label these ones.

Day 3: I can insert a new section into the story.

Think about all the animals that helped Harry and Betty for their wedding. What did they help with? Can you think of another animal that could help in the story? What could they help with?

Activity:Create a new page for the story, in which a different group of animals contribute something to the scarecrows’ wedding.

There are two parts to a fraction:

The number on top, called

the numerator, shows how many

parts you have (1in this example).

The number on the bottom, called

the denominator, shows how

many parts something has been

divided equally into (2 in this

example).

½ means '1 part of something' that

has been 'divided into 2 equal

parts'.

We call this a half.

If you add two halves together you

get one whole.

½ + ½ = 1

now going to have to use these when you plan.

What is your title going to be? For example, Wonderful Woodland.

What can you write in your introduction? This is letting the reader know a little bit about what the report will include.

What is each paragraph going to be about? What will your subheading be for each one? E.g. Wildlife or Animals.

You can use this template below to help plan your non chronological report. You could lay it out like this or you could create your plan in your own layout e.g. a spider diagram / mind map with each feature followed by key words and ideas.

If you want further explanation on halves have a listen to this fun song from 1st level Maths and Numeracy. Video is on the same Bitesize page.

Top tip:

Remember when a whole is

divided into halves, they must

be equal.

Practise:

Activity 1: Treasure Hunt

Try this fun treasure hunt activity

from Maths with Parents to

explore finding halves of an

amount.

1. Ask your child to collect piles of

different items from around the

house, such as:

building blocks

teddies

shoes

pencils

They will need to collect more than

one of each item.

2. Put the items in a pile and then

challenge your child to share each

pile equally between the two of

you.

Some piles of objects will be

shared out in whole numbers, but

you might have some interesting

conversations about why this isn’t

true for all numbers of things.

Do they notice anything about the

numbers which end up with you

having a different number of items

each?

3. Once your child has shared the

items between you, ask them to

count each item to make sure that

you have half each.

Activity 2: Halving

Try this activity from NRICH to

explore ways of finding half of a

shape.

https://nrich.maths.org/217

The images below show squares

split in half:

You could also draw your own

shapes and show how these could

be split in half.

How might you check that each

was correct?

Can you think of more ways to split

a square into two halves?

You can use a sheet of paper to

work out your answers or a small

white board and a ruler if you have

them.

You can then finish by playing the

fractions level on ‘Karate Cats’

maths game.Day 4 Daily: Practise 2,5 and 10 times

tableLesson 4: I can find a quarter of a shape or an amount.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zfx6dp3

To start today's lesson, watch this

video from Maths with Parents

that explores how to find a half and

a quarter of a shape or an amount.

We have been learning about

fractions all this week. Some

important facts to remember.

A fraction tells you how many parts

of a whole you have. Fractions are

shown by having one number on

top of another, for example:

Day 4: I can write a non-chronological report about a woodland habitat.

You are now going to write your own non-chronological report about a woodland habitat. You will need your adjective mat to help you describe the appearance and your fact poster to help you with different information for your report.

The first thing you need for your report is your title for example ‘Wonderful Woodland’ or ‘Woodland Habitat’.

You then have to look at your different subheadings and see which one you want to use first. If you are using the subheading ‘Appearance’ you would then use your adjectives to describe the different things that can be found in a woodland habitat.

Each subheading you write about will have it’s own paragraph:

A paragraph is a section of writing consisting of one or more sentences

Day 4: Write a non-chronological report on woodlands (see writing section).

Use your plan and poster to help you write your information page on a woodland.

Day 4: I can find the rhyming words in the story.

Find the rhyming words in the story and use them to make your own rhyming dictionary.

See example below:

Some rhyming words from the story were hours and flowers. Now I can think of some more words and add them to my rhyming dictionary.

HoursFlowersPowersTowersShowers

There are two parts to a fraction:

The number on top, called the

numerator, shows how many parts

you have (1 in this example).

The number on the bottom, called

the denominator, shows how many

parts something has been divided

equally into (4 in this example).

¼ means '1 part of something' that

has been 'divided into 4 equal

parts'.

We call this a quarter.

If you add four quarters together

you get one whole.

¼ + ¼ + ¼ + ¼ = 1

grouped together and discussing one main subject. New paragraphs are either signalled by an indent (where the text starts some way into the line) or by leaving a line blank.

Make sure you check the features of a non-chronological report throughout to make sure you have got them all.

You could also draw a picture of your woodland habitat and label it or write a caption for it in your non-chronological report.

Make sure you have lots of key vocabulary included. This could be different key words you have found when researching your woodland habitat.

You could use the template below to help you write your non-chronological report on a woodland habitat.

Top Tip:

Remember when a whole is

divided into quarters, they must be

equal.

Activity 1:

Teddy Bears Picnic

Find your four favourite teddies or

toys. They are going to have a

teddy bears' picnic!

You will need some items for the

teddies to share, for example:

20 grapes

12 raisins

4 plates

1 chocolate bar

4 glasses

1 bottle of water

1 pizza

The teddies want to share

everything equally.

Can you make sure that each teddy

gets a fair share of the picnic?

Day 5: I can edit my non-chronological report.

Look through your non-chronological report and check the things below:

Check your adjective mat, have you used all your adjectives? Are they interesting? Could you make them better?

Look at your list of features and make sure have included all of them in your report.

Also, check you have used capital letters and full stops correctly. If you have written a ‘did you know fun fact’ make sure you have included a question mark.

When you are describing your woodland habitat make sure you are

Day 5: I can draw and label my own woodland.

You have researched all about woodlands and wrote your own non-chronological report on them as well as label what you could see in a woodland picture. Now you can draw your own woodland and label the things in your woodland.Don’t forget to add in any animals or insects to your woodland picture.

Day 5: I can complete activities linked to the Gruffalo.

Activity 1:Word search

You can complete this interactive word search online.

some of the keywords used to describe where something is, as well as a grid exercise filled with football items and a practical lesson in making quarter and half turns.

using expanded noun phrases e.g. the huge green tree.

Put simply, expanded noun phrases are made up of one noun and at least one adjective. If more than one adjective is used to describe the noun, they are usually separated by a comma.

If more than one adjective is used to describe the noun, they are usually separated by a comma. Some examples of expanded noun phrases would be: "the tall, strong man", "the cheesy pizza" or "the small, cosy village".

Activity 2:Match it up!

Now use the keywords from today's lesson about position and direction with items around your home. Find objects in your house and write some sentences. E.g. the teddy is in the middle of the bed.

Activity 1Take this fun quiz to test yourself on identifying the position of different football related objects on a grid.

Try it again at the end of today’s lesson to see if your understanding has improved.

Activity 2:There are two levels of activity sheet for you to try - start with the easier one before trying the slightly harder one.

At each level you will need to

locate pieces of football kit using your understanding of the key words for describing position and direction.
