Work/Activities for 15th - 17th February and Monday 22nd – 26th February 2021

Hello Everyone

We have decided to put this shorter week and the following week’s work together in the one document. We hope everyone had a lovely weekend and half term is coming!!

Play is always a big part of the Infant experience so keep playing with toys or real life items or create things that are related to the topics we have suggested - set up a shop – Sports Shop/ Toy Shop/ Supermarket etc (see English), build something using lego or bricks, role play using teddies/dolls, etc.

We have included two science experiments this week so just to give you some advance warning. If you wish to participate in these experiments your will need (nothing too difficult to find!!)

Experiment 1 – How water soaks up into plants / leaves

A lettuce leaf, cabbage leaf (longer type) or evergreen leaf or a celery stick or a flower (white works best)

Food colouring (red, green, blue or yellow, anything you have)

Experiment 2 – Make chicken sounds using a plastic cup

A plastic cup

A piece of wool or cotton string

A paper clip

A piece of kitchen roll

Write in the workbooks and you can use blank pieces of paper for anything else that your child wants to do.

Maths

We are looking at the number 9 in our Maths books. Today you are going to make your own number stories for number 9.

Activity

Story of 9 – try these!

· Pat has 4 buns in a bag. Jim has 5 buns. How many buns have they altogether?

· Kim has 7 apples. Mum has 2 apples. How many have they altogether?

· Dad has 10 bananas in a bag. 1 banana fell out! How many bananas are left in the bag?

· Anna has 3 balloons. Tara has 6 balloons. How many balloons have they altogether?

· There are 9 kids at the party. There are 8 buns. How many more buns are needed so everyone has a bun?

Practise making some Number sums for ‘9’. You will need 9 lego pieces or pasta shapes or any other small figurines/beads etc to use as counters.

On a piece of paper draw 2 circles as your empty sets. Divide the 9 lego pieces between the 2 empty sets – we have practised this already last month in January. Can you remember how to do it?

Look at the 2 sets – How many counters are in each set? Can you write the sum that you have made.

E.g. if you have 9 lego pieces in one set and none in the other your sum will be 9+0=9

Activity 3 – On a piece of paper write your number sums for 9.

SESE – Science – Plants / farming

Have you ever wondered how plants get water from their roots all the way to their leaves?

Here are three simple experiments that you can try with things that you may have around the home.

All these experiments need some food colouring. Blue, red, yellow or green all work well.

You can try this experiment with white flowers, cabbage / evergreen leaves or celery

Get some food colouring and put a few drops into a large glass of water. Make it dark so that it is easier to see the colour in the leaf, flower or celery. Whether you are using a celery stick, lettuce/cabbage/other type of leaf make a fresh cut at the bottom of the stem. Place the item into the glass and allow the water to be absorbed in it. The process may take a couple of days so be patient.

If you wish, you could draw a picture on a piece of paper or in your project copy book and write a sentence or two to describe your experiment.

For example:

We used a leaf and some food colouring to show how water is soaked into a plant.

The leaf turned blue.

The flower turned red.

This simple celery experiment shows how coloured water travels up a celery stalk!

You can also try this experiment with some flowers. White ones work very well.

We are looking at the storybook Grrr! By Rob Biddulph.

However we are not reading the story today. Instead we are looking at the ‘front cover’. (See picture on Class Story)

Discussion

· It says on the cover May the best bear win?

What does that mean? What do you think/predict the book is going to be about?

Let’s make a connection!

· If the book is about some sort of competition/contest – have you ever been in a contest/competition? E.g. dance competition, football/rugby/hurling match, sports races.

What competitions do you think the bears in the book might take part in?

Activity 1 Over the Moon Page 83

· Draw pictures of 2 competitions that you think the bears might do.

Maths

Activity 2 – Planet Maths Page 82.

Let’s revise some number stories

· Pam has 6 buns, Tim has 3 buns. How many buns do they have altogether?

Make up three or four of these stories and ask you mum, dad, brother or sister if they know the answer. Take turns asking and answering the questions.

For this activity you will need 9 counters. These can be pencils, lego blocks or pieces of pasta. Nine of anything.

Try this game if you like.

· Put the counters in a cup or bowl.

· Close your eyes and take some counters out of the bowl.

· Count the number of counters in your hand and then decide how many counters are left in the cup or bowl.

For example, if you take out 6 counters then start counting on with your fingers

7 (raise a finger), 8 (raise a finger), 9 (raise a finger),

How many fingers did you raise? 3. There are three counters in the bowl or cup.

Planet Maths Page 82

Activity 1 – Handwriting – All Write Now

· Open your workbook to Page 39 – This week we are looking at the letter ‘E’.

Capital ‘E’ starts with a straight line down. But small ‘e’ starts with a curley line!

Have a sharp pencil before you start! Try to do your best writing and practise making the letters carefully. Don’t forget small letters can only go to the Dotted Line but tall letters can go all the way to the top line.

At the bottom of the page you have to write your own ‘E’ sentence!!

Science experiment

Today we will try a little experiment and try to make a chicken sound using some thing that you may have around the house. You will need:-

A plastic cup, a piece of wool or cotton string, a paper clip and a piece of kitchen roll, a scissors and something pointy to poke a hole in the bottom of the plastic cup.

The video below explains this very well. (There are some other pretty nifty experiments that you may wish to try at the bottom of the page.)

Here are couple of questions that you can discuss with your child afterwards.

1. What types of string or yarn makes the loudest sound? Which ones make the quietest?

2. Does the size of the cup affect the volume of the sound?

3. Try materials other than a paper towel to see if it affects the volume of the sound.
