W/C 04 May 2020: F1 Home Learning
This week we will be thinking about the story Supertato by Sue Henndra.
Here are some activities that you can try that are linked to the story.
How many different ways do we eat potato?
Talk about this with your child eg mashed potato, chips, jacket potato, crisps.
Make your own Supertato or super vegetable – Draw on the eyes with a marker and add a paper cape with sellotape. Send us a picture via the email we would love to see your creations.
Have a try at vegetable printing or drawing your favourite vegetable.
What colour is it? What shape is it?
Sorting carrots –Which are long, which are short? Can you put them in order from shortest to longest? Use the words long, longest, short and shortest with your child. How many carrots have you got? Count carefully pointing to each carrot as you go.
Evil Pea – If you have frozen peas in your freezer have a look at them in their frozen state. Feel them, what do they feel like? Watch them defrost. How long does it take? Does it defrost more quickly in different places around your house? Use the words “frozen” and “melting” with your child.
Make a sign – tell evil pea to stop being unkind. Ask your child what they want it to say and write this for them. They can add pictures of evil pea and maybe a STOP sign.
Let us know how you get on, by replying to the email address [email protected]
We would love to hear about what you have been doing and are happy to answer any of your questions too.
Have fun!
Home Learning
Well done to Hannah, who I think beat Mr Mills at the shoe lace challenge last week!
Hannah also gave me feedback from the music task. This is what she said about her favourite song:
“My favourite song is Roar by Katie Perry. I like this because if anyone is mean I remember it and I feel better immediately. It also helps me learn, so I can keep going.”
It’s Friday!
HELLO FOUNDATION!
It’s Friday again and another week of home learning is completed. Well done! I hope that you’re all remaining happy and healthy at home.
We hope you are enjoying the new home learning videos. You are all doing so well! We love reading the emails and seeing what you’ve been up to.
Teddy Diary Continued
Miss Marsden is trying to do a lot more cooking during ‘lockdown’. She has bought two new cooking books. On Tuesday, she made a pasta dish. She definitely added too many chilli flakes – it was too spicy! On Wednesday, we had chicken fajitas – they were delicious! Here I am helping Miss Marsden with the cooking! Cooking is a great maths activity. Why not help your adult cook tea at home.
We made some wobbly strawberry jelly!
This week, Miss Marsden has been doing lots of exercise. She goes running every other day and does hula hooping sessions. They hula hooping sessions are great fun!
Tonight, we are having a movie night. Look at all of my popcorn!
Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
Pride and Presentation
It’s great to see pictures of the home learning you’re doing at home. Here is some Y6 maths learning Mya has been doing. I’m so impressed that Mya hasn’t let her standards slip with her pride and presentation- well done!
01 May 2020 : Friday extra maths challenges

Year 1 : https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zhmbrj6
Year 2 : https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zh23gwx
Story Time!
Hello Foundation! It’s Mrs Marsden again. Today I am going to read, ‘Room on the Broom’ written by Julia Donaldson. Can you think of any other Julia Donaldson books?
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I’ll begin…
Here are a few questions and things to talk about after you’ve listened to the story.
- What made the witch wail and the cat spit?
- Why does the witch need more room on her broom?
- Why did the broom break?
- How did the witch feel when the dragon appeared?
- What objects did the animals through into the cauldron?
Did you enjoy listening to the story?
Activity
Design a new broom for the witch and the animals.
See you next Friday for another story!
Storytime: Pog by Lynn Lee
If you fancy listening to me reading the story of Pog, the little monster who was afraid of children, click on the link. It’s my first time at videoing me reading a book, so I hope it’s ok! We are all learning new things in lockdown!
Writing challenge
Thank you to Sofia, who emailed me her writing challenge that Mr Roundtree set last week. The challenge was to write an article for parents and carers to read, and offer top tips and other guidance to support parents and carers with their child’s home learning.

Keep up your amazing work Foundation!
Have a lovely weekend in the sunshine!
