Monday Play https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/2/flashcards-time-challenge

Learn these letters and sounds:

Phase 2 – h, b. Phase 3 – oi, ear, air.

Phase 4 – all phases.

Practise reading tricky word trucks.

Word work: Find and use adjectives to describe a painting.

Today you are going to learn about

Kandinsky. He used many colours and shapes to describe his feelings. Can you research some more information about him? There are some facts and examples of his work if you scroll down. Also:

Look at his Concentric Circles painting. How do you think Kandinsky was feeling when he painted this? Happy, sad, angry? How do you feel when you look at this painting? Around the painting write some adjectives to describe feelings. Use an online thesaurus to find more interesting adjectives.

Count in 2s

Further learning: Can you find pairs around your house e.g. pairs of socks. Can you

count them in 2s? How many are there?

Wellbeing/Art – Grab some paints (or playdoh, food colouring) and

experiment with colour mixing! We can use colours to make other

colours, like Kandinsky. What are the primary and secondary colours? How

can we mix these to make new colours? Which are ‘warm’ and ‘cool’ colours? How do you change the tint (lighter) or shade (darker)? Do the colours give you different feelings? Make a colour chart. Save your new

paints for tomorrow.

TuesdayPurple Mash – Cloze activities. Put the correct

Art: Create a piece of art work based on Kandinsky.

Remind yourself of what you found out yesterday. Today you are

Count in 5s

English: use phonics and write in sentences.

Use your phonics to describe your art work. Look at the art work you made earlier. Using

letters to make the words.

going to make your own Concentric Circles art piece. Fold up a sheet of paper to make 6-8

squares then unfold. Draw in concentric circles. Use the colours

you made yesterday and try to choose colours that describe how you are feeling right now. If you

don’t have paint, this can be done with colouring pens or pencils. Play

classical Russian music as you create, just like Kandinksy did!

Further learning: Ask your family to hold up their hands (and feet!). How many fingers and toes are there? Remember to count in 5s!

your phonics, can you write sentences to describe what you did, why you chose those

colours and how they make you feel. You could write instructions for another person to

make their own painting. Remember to include capital letters and full-stops.

Wednesday

Year 1 common exception words.

A year one objective is for children to learn to read and spell these

words. Go through the words and tick off

which ones they know (doesn’t have to be done all in one go).

Over the coming weeks, practise words they don't. This could be just one or two per

week. Ideas to help: Put the words on post its on

the wall and take a few seconds each day to

read them. Look for the words in books/on signs/labels

etc. Ask the children to

make the words using playdoh, paint, water brushes, glitter, etc.

English: Research an artist and write an artist study.

Research who Andy Warhol was and what he did. Have a look at some of his art work. What do you think?

Andy Warhol used a lot of repeating patterns. Use stamps (you could make potato stamps!) to make repeating patterns.

Learn to spell them by playing hangman.

Thursday Play sentence substitution. Choose

words which match the letters and sounds you are learning this week:

Phase 2 – h, b. Phase 3 – oi, ear, air. Phase 4 – all phases

https://www.ictgames.com/mobilePage/sentenceSub/index.html

English: Write a plan.

Later you are going to make your own art work based on work by Andy Warhol. Think about what you are going to do, sketch your work and then write a plan.

Think about:Are you going to design a food product or repeating portraits? What/who will it be?What colours will you use? Why?

Friday Spellings: Practise reading then writing the spellings below. Can you write them

without looking?

Handwriting: practise curly caterpillar letters

and the suffix –ly

SPAG: Punctuation.

When do we use capital letters, full-stops, question marks and exclamation marks? Have a go at these activities: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8x6cj6

Then try the game on Purple Mash: Jim

Further learning: When out playing

PSHE – To learn about different emotions. Discuss what we can do when we experience strong emotions.

This week we learnt about Kandinsky who painted with his emotions. How many feelings/emotions can you think of? Write them all down. What make you

takes out the rubbish.

Extension: can you write your own silly sentences using these forms of punctuation?

football, can you use this vocabulary?

happy/sad/angry/excited? Discuss with an adult using these sentence starters e.g. I feel happy when…I feel angry when…

Draw a picture of a strong emotion e.g. anger, sadness, worry. It is okay to sometimes feel this way as this is a normal feeling that we all sometimes have, but we need to learn how to handle these emotions so they don’t control us. What can we do? Talk to someone, write our feelings down, count and breathe slowly are ways we can help ourselves.

Start and finish new sentence openers:When I am worried/angry/sad I can…

There are some virtual tours happening of famous UK iconic attractions - visit the houses of parliament where your child can see where decsions are being made at www.parliament.uk/visiting/virtualtourOr why not visit the tower of London as our summer topic usually focuses on kings and queens and London – www.youvisit.com/tour/meadk

Extra practical ideas: Water play – the warmer weather is a great opportunity to let your child explore filling and emptying different sized and shaped containers

and talking about measuring liquids. Outdoor letter formation – use chalks to write words and letters and your child can trace over them using water and a paintbrush. You can

jazz this up even further by adding glitter to the water! Develop fine motor skills by getting children to thread cheerio’s onto spaghetti or pasta onto string. Use old spray bottle to get children to spray the plants to develop hand strength.

Include your child in chores such as hanging out the wishing – using pegs is great for fine motor development and hand strength.
