Phonics

Day 1 https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/ Revise your phase 5 sounds. We have learnt that a suffix is added to the end of a word but this week we will

learn about a prefix. A prefix is added to the beginning of a word to change its meaning.

We are learning to read words containing the prefix –dis. Adding the prefix dis- to a

word makes it negative or the opposite: dislike, disappear, disobey

Practise reading the following words: dislike, disappear, disobey, disconnect, discontinue

Can you put each word into a sentence to show you understand the word. E.g: I dislike cake but I love sweets.

Day 2 Read the diary entry about moving to a new class.

Dear Diary,

Today, we found out who our new teacher is for next year and Miss Dawson and

Mrs Higgins didn’t disappoint us. We are going to have Mrs May! I was really

happy until Holly said that she dislikes Mrs May and will disobey her. I disagree

but now I am feeling worried.

Sam

Highlight all the words containing the prefix –dis.

Play the opposites game. (resource Day 2)

Day 3 Practise spelling these words: dislike, disagree, disappear, disconnect

Prefixes are added to the beginning of a word to give it the opposite (usually

negative) meaning.

Add the prefix –dis to these words to make them opposites.

Draw a picture to go with each word to illustrate.

Like

Agree

Appear

Qualify

Honest

Day 4 Begin by unscrambling these –dis spellings.

dticonnsec, ydibeso, grdisree Remember, the root word is the pure form of a word without any prefixes added. For example, ‘honest’ is the root word for ‘dishonest’.

Use activity sheet (resource day 4) to decide which word fits with the sentence.

Day 5 https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/ Revise your phase 5 sounds.

Complete the day 5 spelling activity.

Day 1

9FZqX1CBqE

Handa’s Hen by Eileen Browne is the

story of Handa’s search for her

Grandmother’s lost hen, Mondi. Set in

a small village in Kenya the story

introduces us to lots of different wild

birds, animals and insects before Mondi

is finally found.

Re-read your story plans from last week. This week we

will be writing our stories but section by section to

make sure we take our time with our writing.

Today we will begin by writing the introduction to the

story. Handa’s story begins…”Handa’s grandma has one

black hen named Mondi. Every morning, Handa gave

Mondi her breakfast.”

You are writing from Mondi’s point of view though so

you will start differently…

“Mondi was a little black hen. She lived with Handa’s

grandma.”

Today you will write up until the point where Mondi

decides to go on her adventure. (Your introduction) The

beginning of your story does not have to be all that long

but the main focus will be on the quality of your writing.

Non-negotiables, exciting language and different

sentence starters. The best stories don’t start every

sentence with “And then”!

Once you have finished your introduction you must

complete your monkey read through and edit and

improve your writing. 😊

Day 2

This will be the longest part of your writing.

Re-read your story plans from last week and your

introduction from yesterday.

Today we will be writing the middle to the story.

Read Handa’s story to help you.

“Handa and Akeyo hunted round the hen house. ‘Look!

Two butterflies’ said Akeyo. But where’s Mondi”…

Remember you story will sound a bit different…

“Mondi decided to leave the hen house. She spotted two

butterflies and followed them.”

Today you will write up until the point where Mondi

finds the place to lay her eggs. (or similar if you have

had different ideas) Once again, the main focus will be

on the quality of your writing rather than the length.

Remember this will be a new paragraph so organise

your work clearly. Non-negotiables, exciting language

and different sentence starters are key.

Once you have finished your writing you must complete

your monkey read through and edit and improve your

writing. 😊

Day 3

Today you will finish your story!

Re-read your story map plans from last week and your

writing from yesterday so you know where you will

need to begin.

Today we will be writing the ending to the story and

your final paragraph.

Read Handa’s story to help you.

“Listen Handa. What’s that? It’s coming from the bush.”

Remember you story will sound a bit different…

“Mondi stayed hidden in the bush with her chicks until

she heard Handa’s voice.”

Write all the way to the end of your plan today,

remembering those non-negotiables.

Day 4 After all that writing, today you get a little bit of a break. All the best stories have beautiful, colourful pictures.

Today you can illustrate your story. Pick 3 parts to your story that you would like to illustrate and draw detailed pictures. Use the pictures from Handa’s story to inspire

you.

These are ‘How to’ videos about drawing chickens… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcJHwaOm7F8

Day 5 We know how to look after chickens because we learnt about them in our first week of this topic.

Handa and her grandma have only ever had one chicken. Use the postcard resource to write a post card

to Handa to advice her on how to look after her new flock of chickens.

This can be an informal post card, as if Handa was your friend but remember to organise your post card well.

Maths

Please note that because we are a mixed year group class, we re-

designed our coverage timetable which means that the home learning

slides on White Rose do not correspond with our timetable this week.

This week in KS1, we’re looking at position and direction.

We have touched on position and direction back in the Autumn term

when we were looking at maps so some children should remember key

aspects…


Lesson 1 – Describing direction.

Quarter, half and three quarter turns.

Use the diagrams to help explain what kind of turns and the distance.

You should remember the fractions of turns from when we looked at fractions of shapes.


If you’re struggling with this task, you could make your own spinner and physically

complete the task (or use a fidget spinner if you have one). Alternatively, you could turn

yourself the right distance.


CHALLENGE.

Write down your own set of instructions using the language: quarter turn, half turn, three

quarter turn, full turn, left and right.


Day 2: Describing turns.

Use this word bank to help you fill in the gaps on the following sheets.


Answers:


Day 3: Describing direction.

There are two options today. If you found Monday and Tuesday’s lessons relatively easy

then have a go at the mastery card activities but if you think you will need a bit more

practice have a go at the first activities.


Mastery activity.


ANSWERS:


DAY 4:

Today you will give directions and follow directions.

Using language forwards, backwards, up, down, left, right, to describe movement in a

straight line, ask a partner to follow your directions.

e.g: Move forwards 2 steps. Turn a half turn left. Move forwards 1 step. Quarter turn

right. Move forward 4 steps. Move backwards 1 step.


Answers:


Day 5: Problem solving. Find all the ways!


Use the grid to make up your own puzzle and instructions.


Answers:

Here are some links to some interactive games linking to position and

direction:
