13 July 2020 : Home learning
Well, I really didn’t think we would be seeing in the final week of summer term 2020 like this. I am really sad to say goodbye to the Year 2 children. I have recorded a message for you : https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cYiXl257at
Children might be spending more time on iPads, tablets and computers over the summer, so our topic activities this week are all about staying safe online.
Weekly spellings :
Y1 : like, slide, nice, home, note, rule, tube, use
Y2 : there, their, here, hear, quite, quiet, see, sea, one, won
Times tables : Choose any times tables and division facts that you want to work on.
Maths
Watch the video about subtracting 2 two digit numbers, with an exchange : https://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cYifbu5w6s
Have a go at these subtractions.
63 – 43 =
94 – 55 =
85 – 16 =
Challenge : What have I done wrong?
54 – 28 =
14 – 8 = 6
50 – 20 = 30
30 + 6 = 36
Reading
Sing along with the song, reading the words as you go or reading them afterwards : https://youtu.be/-nRU5RIDWXU
So long, farewell (from the Sound of Music)
There’s a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery
An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
(Coo-coo, coo-coo)
coo-coo Regretfully they tell us
coo-coo But firmly they compel us
coo-coo To say goodbye
To you
So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you
So long, farewell
Au revoir, auf Wiedersehen
I’d like to stay
And taste my first champagne
Yes?
No!
So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave
A sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye
I’m glad to go
I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float
I fleetly flee, I fly
The sun has gone
To bed and so must I
So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Reading
Watch the clip about mindfulness : https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/47243692
Read and follow the instructions about how to be mindful on paper :
Mindful Movement on Paper
Have you ever put pen to paper without having any particular idea in mind of what you want to draw? This is sometimes called ‘taking your pen for a walk’. Put your pen or pencil anywhere on a piece of paper and focus on your breathing as you move your pen around. There is no right or wrong way of doing this and you are not trying to create a specific image. After a little while, stop and see where your pen has travelled. Notice the shapes you have made. You can use different colours to fill in the shapes you have created – your very own mindfulness colouring design! Mindfulness activities can help us to feel calm, happy and relaxed.

Happy Friday!
Y5/6 maths
Click on the link above for today’s starter.
Your learning today is about subtracting decimals with different decimal places.
Reading
It’s Friday and today I would like you to chill, relax and enjoy reading. It could be your own book, magazine, online article or anything else you find interesting to read.
Can you summarise (in writing or verbally) to someone in your household what you’ve read today?
Grammar
Perfect your parenthesis by completing this activity.
It’s Friday!!
Maths
In this lesson, we will be building on our knowledge of scales for mass by introducing capacity and millilitres and litres.
Reading
For today’s reading session it is Love of reading.
In class, we’d usually have a Love of Reading session each week where we read something that we love. Adults use the time to read with children.
Today, I’d like you to…
● Get really comfy: wear some thick socks, a dressing gown or wooly jumper. Sit somewhere soft and relaxing.
● Turn all electronic devices off: TVs, radios, computers, phones, tablets, etc.
● Spend some quality time reading with each other. Read aloud, take it in turns, put on voices for characters, re-read things to improve how you’re reading them.
● Talk about what you’re reading. Which are the best bits? Why? Does it remind you of other things you’ve read or watched? Do you know anything about parts of it from other knowledge that you have? What do you think of the characters? What will happen next? Why do you think that?
Spanish
In this lesson, we will recap our previous learning in Spanish and then learn how to answer the question ¿Dónde vives? and saying where we live in Spanish. For this lesson, you will need a pen and pencil and some paper, as well as another person or a cuddly toy to have a conversation with!

Read the description about the sports day race.
An egg and spoon race is a sporting event. Each person in the race must place an egg or ball on a spoon. If it falls off, you must stop and put the egg back on the spoon. The winner is the first to cross the finish line.
Think of your own race and write simple description of how to do it.
Challenge : Draw and label a picture of your race.
Topic
Make an obstacle course in your house or garden. Have a go at completing it a few times. See if you can get better each time. Make sure you put everything back where you got it from when you have finished!

Good morning!
Reading
Have you ever fancied being a detective? Every time you infer something that you have read, you are being a reading detective. Today, your reading task is a “Whodunnit” story. Whodunnits are a story where the reader acts as a detective to find clues and solve the crime. When you have read the text, you need to complete a deductions sheet much like a real detective. You’ll need to think carefully about each of the suspect’s alibis. Finally, bring all of the clues together to make a deduction about who committed the crime. I’ll post the answers tomorrow.
Again, there are three different possibly challenge levels. Choose the challenge that you think is right for you.
1 star – story and deductions page.
2 star – story and deductions page.
3 star – story and deductions page.
Maths
Today, we are continuing our learning about mass here with Oak National Academy. In this lesson, we will begin to add and subtract mass, including regrouping the values. We will use the partitioning strategy as a process to add or subtract the mixed-units (kg and g).
