Home Learning - Monday 23rd March

Hi Rowan Class,

I hope that you all had a lovely weekend and that you are all happy and healthy - wasn't it great to see the sun out?

I hope you have all had a chance to have a little peek at your home learning packs - the activities are there for you to use whenever you like, remember to record anything you do in your orange books (feel free to decorate these!). Also, if you click on the Parents tab and then Learning at home on our school website, there are some fabulous ideas. My children at home are going to be doing a PE lesson with Joe Wicks and then a Read, Write Inc lesson online! 

So here are your activities for Monday. 

I would highly recommend that the Read, Write Inc sessions online become part of your regular routine. The link is https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ 

Children who are currently reading Red, Green or Purple books would benefit from the Set 1 Speed Sounds Session.

Those reading Pink or Orange books would benefit from the Set 2 Speed Sounds Session (they could also watch the session for Set 1 as a recap).

And those reading Yellow, Blue or Grey books would benefit from the Set 3 Speed Sounds Session (they could also watch the session for Set 2 as a recap).







For another Literacy task you could try out using commas when writing a list. 
Here's a little video to explain when we use commas in a list. 

Now try these activities below - or you could try writing your own list (maybe a shopping list or a list to describe the animals you might find in a zoo). 

For Maths - try this activity using your number cards from your learning pack (you might need to make some symbol cards too like +, - and =).

Then, try making yourself a number line from 0 to 50! Get creative but make sure your numbers are formed correctly and are in the right order. You can keep it for future maths activities and use it to practise counting in steps of 2, 5 and 10.

For a topic activity - Remember how Samuel Pepys buried all his favourite things to protect them from the fire in London in 1666? Well, write a list of the things that are precious to you. What would you bury to keep it safe? You can either write a list using bullet points or practise writing your list using commas. Remember that the last two things on your list have 'and' between them, not a comma.Perhaps you would prefer to draw your precious things instead and have a go at labelling them?

These are just suggestions for the day. Sorry if it seems too much or too little. We are all finding our way through this strange situation.

Have fun in the sun too! See you again soon!

Mrs Good
