Jane Austen
Birthday
Jane Austen was born in the Hampshire village of Steventon on December
16th, 1775.
Family
Jane was the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight—six
boys and two girls. Her closest companion throughout her life was her
elder sister, Cassandra; neither Jane nor Cassandra married.
Childhood
To start with, Jane Austen was educated at home. Then she went to
boarding school; this means she slept at the school. She learnt subjects
such as French. music, drama and sewing.
Why is she famous?
She is famous English writer who published four novels during her lifetime: Sense and Sensibility (1811), Pride and
Prejudice (1813), Mansfield Park (1814), and Emma (1815). Two of her books; Persuasion and Northanger, were
published after her death in 1817. All of her novels have become timeless classics and have remained critical and
popular successes two centuries after her death.
End of life
For the last 18 months of her life, despite her health declining, Austen was busy writing. Sadly, on July 18th 1817 she
died and was buried in Winchester Cathedral. After her death, her authorship was announced to the world by her
brother Henry, as he wished that his sister received the recognition she deserved for the amazing novels she had
written.
There is also a video on Janue Austen’s life- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwD-1rW254g

Florence Nightingale
Childhood and family
Florence Nightingale was born in the city of Florence, in Italy. This is how she got
her name.
She was born on 12th May 1820. She had one older sister named Frances. Her
family were British but were on holiday in Italy when she was born.
Florence’s family had lots of money because her dad was a successful banker. They had 2 houses (one in Hampshire
and one in Derbyshire) and servants. Normally, girls did not go to school or learn subjects at home but Florence’s
dad taught Florence and her sister about lots of subjects.
Training
When Florence Nightingale became an adult, she became a nurse. She wanted to do this because she felt God was
telling her to carry out important work to help those who were suffering. Her family did not want her to be a nurse
because they did not think it was a nice job however Florence still decided this is what she wanted to do. Florence
Nightingale studied to be a nurse in Germany.
Nursing
In 1853, Florence Nightingale became a nurse in London. Later in that year, she went to be a nurse in the Crimean
War. She helped many injured soldiers but also made sure the hospitals were clean. Florence worked so hard and
worked all through the night to make sure the soldiers were OK, taking them things such as water and warm
blankets. The soldiers were very thankful for her kindness.
When Florence Nightingale came back to England after the Crimean War,
she did not want people to know who she was so called herself Mrs Smith.
Florence Nightingale showed that keeping a hospital clean and organised
was very important and meant more patients survived. She wanted nurses
to be trained properly so in 1860 she set up Nightingale Training School in
London.
Awards
In 1883, Florence was given a Royal Red Cross by Queen Victoria for her hard work and service to nursing. Then in
1907 she as the first lady to be given the Order of Merit award by the queen.
End of life
Florence Nightingale died on 13th August 1910 in London.
Remembering Florence Nightingale
Florence is still very important in nursing today. There is an International Red Cross award now called The Florence
Nightingale Medal which is given to nurses for exceptional work. On the 12th May each year there is International
Nurses Day, this is on Florence Nightingale’s birthday. There is also a statue of Florence Nightingale in London.

Task 2: Length and height
Warm up your brains and bodies with: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-length-
height/zdrx92p
Length is how short or long something is. Height is how short or tall something is.
We can use longer, shorter, taller when describing and comparing lengths and heights.
Bramley Church of England Primary
10
We measure length and height in centimetres (cm) and metres (m). To help us measure accurately we can use a
ruler, measuring tape, or a metre stick.
Can you find any of these in your house? If you can’t, you can download and print a ruler from the website.
Tip: Remember when you measure to have the start of your object lined up with the 0 on your measuring tool.
Estimate means a sensible guess. So before you measure, try to guess how long you think it will be in cm. A standard
ruler like we have in school is 30cm, so try to use this information to help you.

Task 3 – What’s your talent? – Upload to Seesaw
We want you to think long and hard about what makes you special and unique. We all have things that we can do
that are really impressive and we want you to share them with us.
You may be able to play the piano or even perform 20 keepy uppys in a row. Maybe you can juggle or even do a
fantastic impersonation of a famous person or cartoon character. You might even be able to sing while standing on
your head. Who knows except you?
Well, we want to know too! So record a video of yourself performing your amazing talent or outstanding skill and
then upload it to Seesaw for us to see.
You never know, the best ones might be shared with everyone in your class at the end of the week!
Have fun.

Task 4:
Today you are going to write a biography about the famous person your house team is named after (Nightingale,
Brunel, Ainsley or Austen). A biography is a piece of writing which tells others all about someone’s life.
Use the structure below to help you with this; you could use these subheadings but write it in your home learning
book.
All about ___________________________
When and where they were born:
Picture
Childhood (e.g. family, where they lived, what they did):
Caption:
Adulthood (e.g. family, where they lived, what they did):
Why they are famous?:

Task 5: Mass and weight SEESAW
We use the words mass and weight to talk about how heavy or light something is.
We can use heavy, light, heavier and lighter to describe and compare mass and weight.
At school we might start by using a pan balance to compare the weight or mass of different objects.
A pan balance won’t tell us how much something weighs, but we can tell
which object is heavier as it will make the pan go down. The lighter object is
the one in the higher pan.
Challenge!
Bramley Church of England Primary
14
If we want to know how much something weighs, we can use gram weights in a pan balance. We measure weight in
grams (g) and kilograms (kg).
We put the object we want to weigh on one side and then we fill the other side with gram weights until the pans are
perfectly balanced. This tells us how much the item weighs.
You may also use other types of scales depending on what it is you are trying to weigh.
Watch this video about how they weigh different animals.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z7w7tfr
Now ask your parents if you can use any scales you have at home to weigh items from around your house. What is
the heaviest thing that you can safely weigh on your scales? What is the lightest thing you can find where you can
still find out the weight? You might need an adult to help you read the scales depending on which type you have.
Record your results. Upload a photo of you weighing something on Seesaw.
Item name Weight (g/kg)
Challenge!

Task 6: All about me artwork SEESAW
You will need plain paper, a pencil, a rubber and some colouring pens or pencils.
1) First watch this video and draw your face in pencil in the middle of your page. You can rub out the guidelines
afterwards. You may need to pause this video as you go along.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXlO6ocidiY
2) Make sure you add on important details like eyelashes, eyebrows, hair and any freckles you have on your
face. It might help to keep looking at yourself in a mirror as you draw.
3) Now watch the video on Seesaw. Around the outside of our self-portrait we are going to draw (or you could
cut and stick) small pictures to represent our hobbies, interests and what is important to us.
If you get stuck, here are some things you could think about:
What is your favourite subject?
Are you a member of any clubs?
What is your favourite thing to do when you are not at school?
Do you have any pets?
What is your favourite food?
What is your favourite colour?
What is your favourite book?
Who is your favourite celebrity?
Which sports team do you support?
4) Now upload a photo your finished work to Seesaw!

Task 7:
An autobiography is a piece of writing someone does about their own life. It tells others about things the person
has done during their life, special events and thoughts. Today you are going to write an autobiography about your
own life.
Watch the Seesaw video to find out how to write an autobiography. Then use the structure below to write your
own (you could copy this in to your home learning book). Use the checklist to help you make it interesting. When
you have finished, upload your work to Seesaw.
Checklist
I can write in sentences.
I can use ‘I’ in my sentences.
I can use the past tense correctly (usually –ed).
I can use conjunctions (e.g. and, but, so, because, when, if, which)
I can use expanded noun phrases (e.g. friendly sister)
I can use different sentence openers e.g. In school, At home, When I was ____ , Luckily, Eventually
When I was born
My family

Task 8: Capacity and volume
Warm up your brain and get moving to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-capacity-
volume/zj8njhv
Capacity is the amount of liquid a container can hold and the volume is how much liquid is in the container.
We use the language full, empty, and half full to describe and compare.
Practical Investigation
Find two different containers at home.
Which has the biggest capacity? You can
check this by filling it with mugfuls of
water and counting how many you have to
use to fill it up.
Bramley Church of England Primary
19
When we want to measure volume more accurately we can use measuring jugs and cylinders. You probably have a
measuring jug in your kitchen to help when cooking and scientists use measuring jugs and beakers with experiments.
We measure liquids in millilitres (ml) and litres (l).
Challenge
Sometimes, the scales might not go up in ones, so you have to work out what the scales go up in. You might need to
count in 2’s, 5’s or 10’s to solve these.
Practical investigation!
Bramley Church of England Primary

Task 9:
In this task, you will need to speak to members of your family or the people you live with about themselves and
their lives. It could be members of your family who live in a different house who you can call (check with an adult
first). It is great to find out about the people we live with and our families and what people have done in their
lives. Today you should speak to at least one member of your household or family and find out some new and
interesting things about them.
Can you find out five new things about the people you speak to? Does anything amaze you?
Ideas for questions:
• What is your biggest achievement?
• What did you want to be when you were younger?
• What jobs have you had?
• Have you ever competed at anything?
• Have you ever lived in another place or country? What was it like there?
• Where were you born?

• What was your home like when you were a child?
• What was your school like?
• What toys did you have when you were a child and what games did you like to play?
• Have you ever had any pets?

Task 10:
Over the past few months, we have been living through a lockdown which has never happened before. Due to
this, it is likely that people in the future will be interested by what has been happening and what people did
during these times. We are going to bury a time capsule in school in September which will be full of your
lockdown memories and also pictures of what the school has looked like during this time. This time capsule will
stay underground for many years to come and then discovered by children and adults in the future.
Today, we would like you to write and/or draw some of your memories and feelings from the last few months. You
might also wish to attach a photograph. If you do not wish to include your name, that is absolutely OK.
Remember this work is for someone else to read so please make it neat, make sure your writing makes sense and
show them how interesting your writing can be e.g. conjunctions, expanded noun phrases, different sentence
openers. You can either write it by hand or make it on the computer.
Once you have finished, please email your work to [email protected] or, if you are in Year 2, bring it in
to school when you are in the marquee.
Things you may wish to include. You may have more ideas too:
Your name and age
Who you have spent lockdown with
Your favourite thing to do during lockdown
Any new hobbies you have or things you had never done before e.g. zoom
Things you have missed
Things which have been strange
How you have done your school work
Sentence openers Conjunctions Adjectives
In March, Each day, My favourite thing to do has been My least favourite thing to do has been, At home, In the shops, Outside, To learn I have been, Now, Strangely, Unfortunately
and but so because when which if
lonely happy fun sad boring enjoyable sunny hot rainy cold

Task 11: Money
Warm up your brain and body with: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-money/zht4nrd
When we talk about money we use the language: coins, notes, pence, p, pounds, bronze, copper, silver, gold.
Can you say how much each coin is worth?
Match the note to the correct label.
Bramley Church of England Primary
23
When you are adding coins to find a total, it is sometimes useful to use your knowledge of counting in 2’s, 5’s and
10’s too.

Task 12:
Watch the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ck4Bk6SKO7o
In the clip, Dumbledore explains to Harry that the magical mirror will show whoever looks into it whatever they
wish for most of all.
Have a think about your future and what would make you the happiest you could be. Draw in the mirror below,
what you think you would see if you looked into the mirror.
Bramley Church of England Primary
25
Task 13:
In this learning pack, you have thought about aspirational people (people who have done amazing things) and
about your life now. Today we would like you to think about what you would like to do and achieve in the future.
You should write sentences and draw pictures to show us about your aspirations.
Upload your finished work to Seesaw.
Things you may want to think about:
• If you would like to learn to drive.
• If you would like to go to university.
• Your dream job.
• If you would like a family.
• Where you would like to live.
• Where you would like to visit.
• If you would like to go travelling.

In your writing, try to use ‘because’ or ‘so’ to give reasons for your aspirations. Also try to start your sentences in
different ways, not just ‘I’.
Example sentences
In the future, I would like to learn to drive so I can travel around the country easily to visit my friends and other
places.
I would like to visit the Amazon Rainforest because I would love to see all the animals there.
My dream is to run the marathon because I enjoy running and it would be a massive thing to achieve. I would also
be able to raise money for charity.

Task 14: Time SEESAW
Warm up your brains and bodies to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/ks1-maths-telling-the-time/zk4t8xs
When we are working on telling the time, we should be using language like:
Before, after, morning, afternoon, evening, first, next, today, yesterday, tomorrow, days, weeks, months, date, seconds, minutes, hours, hands, faster, slower, earlier,
later.
Complete the months of the year
Bramley Church of England Primary
