Class Hedgehogs Homework
Homework – 11th January 2023
We have been learning about winter over the last couple of weeks in class. Your task this week is to complete at least one of the activities on the sheet in your homework book. You can record your work in your book or on Tapestry. Please let one of us know if you need another sheet.
So many of you are reading daily at home now as well – a big thank you to you all, it is making such a difference to the children’s progress!
Hedgehog Class Homework 16.09.21
Hello Hedgehogs!
I hope that you have all managed to find your homework on Teams this week! Please find your year group below to see your instructions for your homework…
Reception – The Reception children have all been working really hard on learning some sounds in their phonics lessons over the last couple of weeks. To support this new learning, I’d like you to log in to your Reading Eggs account (login details etc. can be found in your green homework books). Please then go on “Fast Phonics” and complete the activities on Peak 1 & 2. Don’t worry about uploading anything to Teams because I can see what you’ve done from my account!
Year 1 – In Science this week, the Year 1 children have been learning all about keeping healthy. Their learning has included healthy eating and why we need to eat and drink, why we need to exercise and what happens to our bodies when we do exercise. We also talked about keeping clean – hand washing, showering/bathing, brushing our teeth etc.
Your task this week is to complete the attached sheet “Dear Alien”. Remember, you don’t need to print this sheet off at home, you can type straight onto the sheet and upload it to Teams or you can copy it all into your green homework books. If you write it into your homework books, please take a photograph of what you have done so that I can see what you’ve done. I will then be printing this work to stick into your science books in school.
Year 2 – The Year 2 children have been working really hard on their knowledge of place value in Maths over the last couple of weeks. We’ve really focused on learning all about tens and ones. It’s been tricky but we’re getting much more confident with it now! To support your learning this week, I’d like you to log in to your MyMaths account (login details etc. can be found in your green homework books). The tasks that I have set for you should come up on your screen. Don’t worry about uploading anything to Teams because I can see what you’ve done from my account!
Please also remember that you should try to read your school reading book at least 4 or 5 times this week and you’ve got your spellings from Mrs Johnson to learn. If you’d like something else to keep you busy, remember that you can log in to your Reading Eggs account any time and work your way through the games on the map.
Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Farmer

From next week I hope to move to TEAMS for all of your lessons, activities, instructions and guidance. Please let us know of you are experiencing difficulty with TEAMS by emailing admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk and we will try to help ready for this change, as activities/worksheets etc will very shortly stop being posted here.
Thank you

Hedgehog Class Online Timetable – Friday
Reading 9AM – Please login to Reading Eggs to complete the challenge for the day.
Morning welcome – TEAMS MEETING AT 9.25AM
Phonics –
RED group – Watch the videos and join in with the songs! See if you can write the letters too.
PURPLE group – Watch and join in with the song to learn the phase 3 tricky words (words you can’t sound out) https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvq9bdm/articles/zr728xs Then have a go at learning to spell them.
GREEN group – Have a go at correcting some of the sentence on the sheets below. Someone has forgotten to use a capital letter at the start and for names, and a full stop at the end! Can you help them?
Full stops and capital letters
ORANGE AND YELLOW group – Play this online game (it’s free and you don’t need to login or sign up, just click on ‘single player’. The polysyllabic words you need to spell are shown on the left of the screen. You need to click on the snowflakes in the correct order to spell each word. https://www.spellzone.com/word_lists/games-11273.htm
Maths –
Yellow and Orange group – Watch the video here https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwv39j6/articles/zx3982p and play the games to refresh your memory about number bonds.
Today I would like you to think of the different ways you can explore and record the same number bond. Have a go at the challenges on the sheet. The answers are provided if you need them.
There are also some word problems that use what you know about number bonds to 20 to find the answer. Don’t forget, you can use pasta, buttons or paper clips as counters to help you work out the answer. If you find this easy, please make up your own number bond word problems to 30 and see if someone at home can solve them. Make sure you know what the answers should be!
Green group – Watch the video here https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwv39j6/articles/zx3982p and play the games to refresh your memory about number bonds.
Then play the number bonds bus game with someone at home. The instructions are on the sheet. Remember, you can stop when you get to your square on the board and use 20 ‘counters’ to help you find the answer. For example if you landed on the number 14, take 14 counters away from your 20 and see how many are left. That is your answer. So it would be 14+6 = 20 or 20-14 = 6.
Purple group – Watch the video all about using number bonds to make 10 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd2zVDrGHoc.
Now use the sheets below to see if you can use what you know about number bonds to solve the problems. You can draw objects and write numbers to help you find the answer for each word problem.
Red group –.Play the numbers quiz and watch the video here https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/znsj96f. The use the sheets below to help you remember numbers to 5.
English – TEAMS MEETING AT 11.00AM
All children – In our story, the animal friends seem to be trapped inside a crocodile’s mouth! You can see a picture of this if you click on the worksheet below.
There were some messages hidden in the creek, and if the animals had found and read them, they might not have got into such danger!
Have a look at the messages under the picture and see if you can read them. Can you draw a picture in your workbook to go with each warning?
Write your own warning notes to the animals telling them what they might need to beware of in a forest. You can type your work on to the worksheet on TEAMS and send it back to me, or write your sentences in your workbook and put a photo on Tapestry for me to see.
AFTERNOON WORK
On a Friday afternoon the children love doing yoga. Please follow the link to our yoga time video from Cosmic Kids Yoga. I hope you enjoy it! https://cosmickids.com/video/yoga-time-jungle-safari/
On a Friday afternoon in class, the children complete any work they haven’t finished during the week. Once everything is finished, they have ‘Golden Time’ as a reward for working hard all week as we have a focus activity for the children to do during this time. So this afternoon I thought it would be lovely for you to have Golden Time, and I have put an activity below that I thought you might like to carry out – making biscuits! I’d love to see a photograph on Tapestry of your finished biscuits please. Biscuit making 15.1.21

Green, Yellow and Orange groups – Please watch the video here vimeo.com/490879867 and then complete the worksheets. There is also a challenge activity if you’d like to compete it.
Red group –
Start your lesson by watching these number raps! There is one for each number to 5 for you to sing along to today. bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/playlist-number-raps
Then use the worksheet to count the number of objects in each group. How many are there? Can you write the numeral to go with them?
Now compare the sets on the picture cards- which has more objects? Which has fewer objects? There are questions a grown up can read to you about them too. You might also like to make sets of up to 5 objects using things from around the house, and use the question cards for them too.
Purple group – Start your lesson by joining in with the CBEEBIES number raps for number 11 to 20! bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/watch/presenters-number-rap-11.
Then use the challenge cards below to see if you can find the total number of objects in each group. Record your answers using a number sentence. You don’t need to print the challenge cards out and you could use objects you have at home to recreate the numbers in each group to help you find the answer.
English – all children – We are using the story ‘Let’s All Creep Through Crocodile Creek’ by Jonny Lambert for our literacy work for the next few weeks, You can watch and listen to the story being read here,,, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4f830yTT_MI. Don’t worry though, it’s not bedtime!
When Shelley and the other animals were crossing the creek they had to:
- balance on the ‘bridge’
- clamber through the thorns
- swing and jump through the vines
- hop across the creek
Can you show someone at home as you can balance, clamber, swing, jump and hop? Design and build an obstacle course in your house or garden that you can use to balance, clamber, swing, jump and hop to cross an imaginary creek. You might be able to think of other words to describe the movements you make as you pretend to cross crocodile creek too!
Take some photographs of your obstacle course and of you using it and put them on to Tapestry for me to see.
On a piece of paper (or in a workbook) draw a picture of your obstacle course. You can label the different parts and write sentences to tell me about how you use each obstacle to cross the creek. Please put a photo of your work on to Tapestry
AFTERNOON WORK
Reception children On a Thursday afternoon in class, Reception children would have ‘Child Initiated Play’. That means that the children can choose an activity from a range of tasks including those that have been selected and prepared for them. Child initiated play supports children’s development in many ways, including language, mathematical, creative and imaginative learning and developmental skills. It also enables them to learn from first hand experiences, encouraging them to choose how to use their resources and to find and put away the things they want to use.
Your child might have a favourite activity they would like to do at home this afternoon, such as lego, jigsaws, drawing or playing outside. They might also like to make a finger puppet of the characters in our story this week ‘Let’s All Creep Through Crocodile Creek’. A video to show you how you could make a finger puppet is below. Don’t forget to show me what you did on Tapestry!
Year 1 Geography
Watch this video about the UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zyhp34j/articles/z4v3jhv.
What facts and information can you remember about the UK? Make a leaflet to show me what you have found out.
Have you ever been to any of the places in the UK that they visit on the video? Have you been to other places in the UK?
On a map of the UK (one is provided below if you need it), try to find out where the places you have visited are in the UK and mark them on the map. You might even have some photos or information leaflets from your visit. If you do, get them out and have a look through them with someone at home to remember what it was like and what you did there.
Year 1 History
Can you label the different parts of the car? (sheets below) Choose the sheet you would like to use.
Find a picture of a car online that Henry Ford might have driven (such as the Model T Ford). Draw it in your book and label the different parts.
How is it the same or different to the cars we drive today? Do they have the same parts? Why do you think that is?
End of the day optional story – TEAMS 2.30PM

Today we would have been going to Forest School. Today instead, I would like you to take a little bit of time to look at the trees in our area. Go for walk with your adults. What do you notice about the trees? Do they all have leaves or do just some of them have leaves? Take some photos of the trees that you find so that we can look at them again in Spring and compare how they have changed. You can upload the photos to Teams or Tapestry so that we can keep them safe for you and see what you have found.
Join us at 2.30 for an optional end of the day catch up and story time on Teams.
Have a lovely day all and I look forward to seeing you on Teams later!
