Monday Maths

Explain what we mean by length and height. When might

we need to know the length and height of something? E.g.

how tall someone is. Show a 30cm ruler and measuring

tape if you have one. What sort of objects might we meas-

ure for each measurement tool? Using a 30cm ruler chil-

dren to be given different measurements and they must try

to find objects matching those measurements, for exam-

ple, “find something around 5cm in height” they may bring

back a cup. They then must measure its actual length and

height.

English

Savannah introduction- read fact sheet together

and ask your child to explain what the Savannah

is in their home learning book before going onto

learning about the springbok and completing the

facts.

1) What do they hunt? 2) What are their habitats? 3) 1

interesting fact you liked.

Also follow the link to learn a little about the Savan-

nah.

Topic

P.E.

It might be nice to mark Wimbledon this week

even if you do not own a tennis racket you could

play hand tennis.

Tuesday Maths

Explain that there are 10mm in 1cm and 100cm in a meter.

If the height or length is in between 2 whole cms we need

to count how man cms and mm it is, we then use a deci-

mal point to record this. For example 1.3cm. Measure and

record the measurements (length and height) for a range

of pirate themed pictures.

handwriting (recipe)

`Explain that one popular dessert in South Africa is a

biscuit type treat called rusks. We will then share the

recipe and children to use their best handwriting to

write it up to go in their topic books.

Wednesday Maths

Recap shorter/taller/longer/wider etc. Using addition and

subtraction skills we are going to compare the difference

between two objects length and height. Measure the

length of two objects, how much longer is one object from

the other- you can count on from the shorter object to the

longer length to find the difference (addition) or you can

count back from the longer length to the shorter one

(subtraction). Practise this skill using a range of objects.

Talk about note taking and model using bullet points.

Model turning a note or bullet point into a sentence.

Watch the National Geographic video on the elephant.

Watch it again and this time ask your child to write

down the following facts on their whiteboards in note

form and then write the 3 facts out as full sentences.

1) What do they hunt? 2) What are their habitats? 3) 1

interesting fact you liked.

R.E

See the PowerPoint included on website– continu-

ing our learning of Judaism

Thursday Maths

Discuss and solve the following problem in the example.

English

Read the facts on the giraffe. Ask your child to read

carefully as well as select the answers to the following

before writing them in full sentences.

1) What do they hunt? 2) What are their habitats? 3) 1

interesting fact you liked.

Geography

Go through South Africa PowerPoint before completing fact

file. This week children should also learn how to say hello and

goodbye in Afrikaans and Zulu as well as have a good day in

Zulu. Listen to Hayley’s recording also included on the Power-

Point..

JTKYG– 22nd June 2020

Year One Team

Thoughtful

Bee attitude of the week– bee

strong.

Think of a time when you have had to

be strong inside?

What frightens you?

Do you think you are a strong person

on the inside?

Do you look up to anyone who is

strong on the inside and why?

B

Show me half past 1

50 – 10 = 4 x 2 = 10 ÷ 2 =

Count in 5s from 35 to 100.

Show me 2 o’clock

36 – 10 = 4 x 5 = 15 ÷ 3 = Count in 2s from 12 to 40

Show me quarter to 2

40 – 10 = 3 x 5 = 12 ÷ 6 = Count back in 2s from 20 to 0

Show me quarter past 1

44 – 10 = 2 x 10 = 12 ÷ 4 = Count back in 5s from 50 to 0 Savannah art- select and carefully

stick in the silhouettes of the savan-

nah animals( free to draw some

others) then use either pastels or

paint to a sunset background like in

the example.

Giraffe

Giraffes are the tallest living land animals in the world. An adult male

can grow up to 6 metres tall – which is taller than three adult hu-

mans.

A giraffe’s height is helpful for keeping a look out for predators, such

as lions, hyenas and crocodiles. Their excellent eyesight also helps

to them spot them from far away, too.

Giraffes are herbivores and their long neck and tongues help them to reach leaves up high in

the tree tops that other animals cannot reach.

Giraffes do not need to drink much water as they get most of their water from their leafy meals

so will only drink once every few days.

Female giraffes give birth standing up, which means new-born giraffes drop to the ground from

a large height. But only a few hours later they are able to run with their mothers.

Female giraffes are called cows, male giraffes are called bulls and baby giraffes are called

calves.

Giraffes can run at speeds of up to 34 miles per hour, but if they are running from one of their

predators they can reach a sprint of 60 miles an hour.

Male giraffes fight to see who is strongest. They bang their long heads and neck together to see

who the stronger male is. The fights are not usually dangerous and ends when one admits de-

feat and walks away.

Giraffes can live for around 25 years in the wild.

Elephants

Elephants are the world’s largest land animal. They can reach up to 3m

tall and weigh between 4,000 -7,500kg.

Elephants grow ivory tusks which are like long teeth on their heads. Their tusks

continue to grow their whole life, so enormous tusks are a sign of an old ele-

phant.

Elephants spend up to 18 hours a day eating grass, plants and fruit. They use

their long trunks to smell their food and lift it up into their mouth.

Elephants use sand and mud as sunscreen which they throw over themselves to protect their skin from the hot sun.

A baby elephant is called a calf.

Elephant can hear each other’s calls up to 5 miles away.

The Springbok

Springbok live on open plains, grasslands, scrublands, deserts and semi-arid are-

as.

They can be about 1.5 to 2 metres in length, 71 to 89 centimetres in height and

weigh between 30 and 48 kilograms.

A springbok has reddish-brown hairs on the back, white hairs on the sides of the

body and belly and dark brown horizontal line in the middle. It has a white face and

two brown lines that stretch from the eyes to the corner of the mouth.

They have long, pointed ears, a long neck and a slender body. Lyre-shaped horns can be seen both in

males and females (they are longer and thicker in males).

Springbok are active at dusk and dawn (crepuscular animal).

They are herbivores (plant-eaters). Their diet is based on grass, leaves, flowers, roots and tubers.

Springbok are one of the fastest animals on the planet. They can reach speed of 97 kilometres per hour.

They can often be seen jumping up and down like bouncing balls, stretching their front and rear legs simulta-

neously and bending their heads down. (This is called 'pronking').

Natural enemies of springboks are cheetahs, leopards, hyenas and lions.

A baby springbok is called a calf.

Springbok can survive up to 10 years in the wild.
