Hello Year One!

It was so lovely to see most of you on Friday during our Zoom sessions!

Like last week we have set all the foundation subjects at the start of the

week for you to select when it works best to do each activity at home. We will keep this attached to each of our

JTKYG everyday.

We will also include our Thoughtful

theme for this week on our foundations page but will include

some more ideas on how you could reflect on this theme tomorrow. Feel free to share any ideas you have

about our Thoughtful theme though!

We have also included some spell-

ings that we would like you to practise this week. These are spellings relevant to our topic so they will come

in handy.

We hope you have a good day!

Last week you learnt the story of The Enormous Turnip and as we mentioned then you will be moving onto adapting this story this week! You may have already had some ideas on how you are going to adapt the main events and characters in your story and you can even storyboard your adaptation like the one in the picture. If

you rather not storyboard your adaptation then you can use the sheet on the next page to adapt the beginning , middle and end. You will then spend the next three days on writing each section of your story. Remem-

ber in the beginning of the The Enormous Turnip we are introduced to our main character, the old grandpa. He plants a turnip seed. We then go into the middle where we are introduced to the problem– the turnip is too big to pull out of the ground on his own! He starts to solve the problem by calling upon a series of friends to help. The

end of the story describes how they all succeed and then celebrate with turnip soup. On the next page and/or on a storyboard we would like you to adapt The Enormous Turnip. We have also included our own adaptation plan

on the next page. So, you will be adapting the following:

1) Your 4/5 characters 2) The seed 3) what the problem is 4) how your characters help and what they may

use to help them 5) describe the solution and the celebration.

Maths

Today we will be halving an amount. Before you do the following activity ask an adult to watch the

short video with you which explains halving and sharing between two equal groups.

Activities: First you will need to gather some objects. You could use counters, coins or anything

you can find! Now it’s time to split your amount in half! To do this we must split our amount into two equal

groups. Remember that equal means the same so when you are halving an amount you need to

carefully share them between the two groups to give you 2 halves. To help us we can draw two circles and

move our objects into the circles one at a time. If you are using slightly bigger objects you could take this

activity outside and use two hoops. Find these amounts: 4, 8, 10, 14, 16.

Now complete the following:

Find 8 objects and split them into two equal groups. I have 8. Half of 8 is ______.

Find 10 objects and split them into two equal groups. I have 10. Half of 10 is ______.

Find 12 objects and split them into two equal groups. I have 12. Half of 12 is ______.

Remember to check your answers carefully! If each half has a different amount you haven’t halved your number correctly.

10 + 2 = 1 ten + 6

ones= 14 = 4 + 18 = _ ten + _ones 19 - 9 =

Flashback 5

Get your maths brain in gear with these 5 starters. Take a look at the strategies you could use on page 4.

Discussion:

Now try some of your

own!

What do you notice

when halving these

following numbers: 3, 7

and 9.

White Rose website

which explains halving

with clear, small steps.

A giant but friendly troll; the

giant troll’s lovely wife; the

happy goat who lives next

door; a whistling bird who

lives in a tree in the garden

and finally a muddy pig who

lives in the farm across the

road.

Solution

Luckily the giant but friendly troll has all his friends to call upon. First he shouts for his wife to get a ladder, when that doesn’t reach the juicy plum the troll calls his friend, the happy goat. The troll stands on the ladder and the goat stands on his shoulders while the troll’s wife keeps the ladder steady. Unfortunately they still cannot reach the juicy plum so they shout for the muddy pig who stands on the goat’s shoulders. They all reach and reach but they still cannot get to the juicy plum! Finally they whistling bird flies over and lands upon the pig’s

head. Together they reach and reach. At last they grab the juicy plum!

This is a great number sentence

to do in your head. Remember

our top tip of putting the largest

number in your head then

counting on.

I have drawn some dienes to

help with this one. Remember

the stick is a tens stick (which is

worth 10) and the ones are the

little squares.

We love a missing number

problem! Now, for this one,

remember that addition (+) and

subtraction (-) are friends and you

can use subtraction for this one to

help you work out what the missing

number is. I will use the part-part

whole model to help you see this

with another example:

For this one you can also

use your place value skills by

thinking about the tens and

ones places.

Here are some strategies which may help you tackle the Flashback 5 maths starter today.

Year One foundation lessons 27th

April 2020

Science

Hopefully by now you have all planted a seed and

will be monitoring its growth, recording the pro-

gress of what you see each week. This week we

would like you to focus on the life cycle of a plant

which always begins with either a seed or bulb.

Inside the seed or bulb is a tiny plant which can

only grow from the seed through a process called

germination. Germination can only happen when

the conditions are just right. Lots of you told us

during our Zoom session that plants need warmth,

water, sunlight, and nutrients to grow and survive.

Germination is when the plant breaks out from the

seed and begins to grow. You will see this pro-

cess in the pictures you need to order below

but also if you watch the video from BBC

Bitesize by clicking this link. Germination can

only occur when there is enough nutrients, usually

in the soil, warmth, light and just enough water.

This process takes a different amount of time de-

pending on the seed and plant. Usually though, if

the conditions are right you will be seeing signs of

growth in a few days!

Task: Please watch the above video and after that

we would like you to either cut out and order the

pictures in the sheet below or draw these out in

the correct order. Then, using time linking words

like ‘then’ and ‘next’ can you write one sentence

describing what is happening in each picture. For

example, “First the seed is carried either by a hu-

man, animal, or the wind then it falls to the

ground.”

Extra challenge: Seeds can move from one place to another either by being carried by an

animal/insect, human or the wind. Which seeds can you find outside and how do you

think these seeds travel from its plant to a new location?

R.E.

This week we would like you to think about our amazing

world again. Who do you think should help God to look after

our world? How can children help him to do this? What

about remembering to switch off lights, helping with recy-

cling at your house or even reusing cool t-shirts that your

older brother or sister or cousin has grown out of?

Now watch this film which tells you about the 3 R’s. https://

youtu.be/OasbYWF4_S8

Then write 3 ways you can help to save our world in your

Home Learning book.

Next week we will make a poster encouraging people to re-

cycle.

P.E.

Use cones or tins of food as markers. Spread them out

evenly in a long row. From your starting point, run and touch

the first cone and then back to the start. Run to the second

cone and back to the start. Run to the third cone and back to

the start. Continue like this until you have touched the last

cone in the row.

Ask your adult to time you.

See if you can get faster every day!

Art

This week we’d like you to create your own ‘blossom tree’. To cre-

ate your branches you could do some ‘straw blowing’ of brown

paint or use your crayons to draw them.

Using about 5 cotton buds grouped together, dip these into your

pink paint and dab it onto the branches. This should create a

‘stippled’ effect. Do you remember what two colours can be mixed

to make pink?

You could also roll small bits of soft paper into balls to create

‘blossom’ and stick these on.

You could also print using a piece

of bubble wrap or a bit of broccoli.

Go and get creative!

Music

Have you seen the blossom fluttering down from the trees

this week? I wonder if you can see any

from your window?

This week we are going to listen to a piece of music and

use our bodies and imaginations to move as if we were

blossom petals twirling high and low as they drift on the

breeze.

You can use last weeks rain makers (a container with dried

rice inside) to create the sound of the breeze. How could

you play them differently to create a soft, flowing noise?

Perhaps try rolling the container?

Here is the music which can be found on YouTube or

Spotify: Blossom on the Breeze by The Relaxing Piano

Crew. How could you describe the music? What instru-

ment is being played?

Enjoy using your imaginations and moving to the music!

Thoughtful:

This week our themes are: Knowing yourself; Being yourself; Loving yourself.

The colour of the week is grey and the word of the week is ‘believe’

of a plant:
