Easter Homework/Activities

I hope that you all have a super Easter! Below are some activities to do over the next 2 weeks. Remember to upload what you have been up to onto Tapestry or you can email me (sbunniss1@stanton.derbyshire.sch.uk). HAPPY EASTER!

Reading
Read 3 of your own books from home and choose 3 of the reading homework activities already in your reading record to complete.

Extreme reading challenge

Read one of the books in an unusual place and send me a photo (this can be done through Tapestry or sent to my email).

Topic

Decorate an egg as a character from a story. Send me a photo (this can be done through Tapestry or sent to my email).

Choose your favourite story and make a story sack. This might include:
- Your own version of the book (have a go at making your own book or copy the book that you have chosen. Draw the pictures and ask a grown up to write the words or you could type them on your computer).
- Stick puppets
- A game (pairs, snap, a snakes and ladders style game – see if your grown ups can help you make one that you can play together).
- Some facts about the story e.g. if you chose the Gruffalo you might write facts about woodland creatures.

Other ideas

I have come across some other useful websites where you will find other Easter activities :)

Week Commencing: 30/03/2020

I hope you have all had a good week and have stayed safe and well. It has been lovely to see so many of you engaging with Mrs Bourne and I on Tapestry. It is a great platform for us to see what you have been learning at home and I have been adding observations regularly with tips and ideas of things you can be doing/learning whilst you are at home. If anyone is having problems with it please email me (my email is sbunniss1@stanton.derbyshire.sch.uk) and I will do all I can to help. If you are unable to use Tapestry please drop me an email with any work etc. that you have been doing at home :) This Week's work is set out below.

Maths:

Please complete the following two tasks during the week.

Begin subtraction. Subtract 2 single-digit number using objects. For example 9 - 5 = ? count out 9 objects, physically take away 5 from the pile and put them somewhere else and then count how many you have left.
Continue practising number recognition with numbers to 20, counting forwards and backwards to and from 20. Ask your parents to hide number cards around your house or garden. Shout out what number you have found as your find them and then see if you can put them all in order to make a number line. Put photos of your number hunt on Tapestry.

English

Create a profile for your own dragon .
give it a name
tell me what it looks like (what colour is it? Does it have horn? Has it got a long tail? Etc.)
where does it live?
what does it eat?
Purple Mash 2 Do – Castle captions.
Practise your phonics – we have learned all of the letters of the alphabet plus qu, ch, th, ng, ai, ee. (if you can use these sounds confidently when reading and writing try learning the igh sound – information on the actions etc is on an observation on Tapestry entitled Phonics).

Topic

Choose one of the activities from our list of things to complete in order to graduate knight school (picture below from last week). Put some photos on Tapestry for us to see how your Knight training is going.

I have also found an additional website that may be useful.

https://hungrylittleminds.campaign.gov.uk/#3

This website has been recommended and highlighted with activities for children to do with parents at home. It also has a very useful list of aps suitable for children that may be helpful for those of you whom have access to tablets or iPads.
