LITERACY

Spelling and Dictation

Remember to check on your new spelling and tricky words this week.

You decide how to learn your words. Choose a different way each day.

Get your grown up to test you on a Friday.

You will find this week’s dictation tasks attached also. Please do what you can. You can spread these activities out across the week if you wish.

Story Time

This week’s story is ‘’Pete the cat – Go Pete Go’ .

Book 20. Pete the Cat Go, Pete, Go! | Children's Stories | Read Aloud | Story Time - YouTube

How many modes of transport were in the story? Did you think that Pete would win the race?

Writing

I have attached a busy transport picture for you to look at. Try and see if you can write 5 sentences about the picture. Remember capital letters, finger spaces, neat writing and full stops.

Pencil Control

There are 2 vehicle pencil control worksheets for you to have a go at. Remember – slow and steady and try to stay on the dots.

NUMERACY

Traffic Survey

Following on from our work on tally marks, lets do our own traffic survey. You should find a safe place to stand (or sit) outside your home and keep a tally of the vehicles which pass by. Your survey should last for 15-20 minutes. You can choose whether you survey the colour of the vehicles passing or which type of vehicle is passing. Both sheets are attached.

Block Diagrams

Can you complete a block diagram to show which vehicle was seen the most? You will find the corresponding sheet attached. It is based on a pretend survey. You should choose a different colour for each vehicle and colour one square for each vehicle in the picture box. You might find it useful to cross out the vehicles as you go.

Which vehicle did you see most of? Which did you see the least?

Left and Right

Firstly, you should practise your left and right. Maybe you could make up your own actions, game or rhyme to help you remember.

Can you sort the vehicles by which direction they are facing? Left or right?

Giving Directions

Make your own town map (or print the one attached). Using a toy car can you travel around the town. Describe your journeys using ‘turn left’ or ‘turn right’.

Travel by Airplane

Have you ever wondered how an aeroplane stays in the sky? This video tells you all about the different parts of an aeroplane and how it gets up into the sky.

How Do Airplanes Work? | Educational Video for Kids by Brain Candy TV - YouTube

Can you try making your own aeroplanes out of paper? There are instructions attached on how to make 2 different paper aeroplanes. Get your grown up to help you make them both. Carry out an experiment – which one flies the furthest? Which one do you like best?

Travel by Car

Can you create your own balloon powered car using the instructions attached? Can you measure how far your car travels? What factors affect how far your car travels? (How much air is inside the balloon, the surface the balloon is on etc).

Travel by Boat

Have you ever wondered how a boat stays afloat? Watch this video that will explain.

Can you make a boat out of tinfoil. How many 1p coins will it be able to hold?

This next video is 20 minutes long (but quite entertaining) The first 3 minutes will show you how to make a tinfoil boat.

Road Safety

As we travel by foot we may need to cross busy roads. Using the ‘Hazard Spotting’ powerpoint, discuss the pictures to help you learn how to spot hazards and choose the best places to cross.

We should choose clothes which help drivers to see us clearly when we are crossing busy roads. Play the game below to find out more.
