Hedgehogs Home Learning – Monday 17th May

Good Morning Hedgehogs 🙂

I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend! It was lovely to speak to some of you and your parents last week. It sounds like you’ve all been busy doing lots of fun activities at home, from gardening to learning to ride your bikes! I’ve had a visit from a chaffinch, it keeps tapping and flying into the window – I think it thinks it’s reflection is another chaffinch! It woke me up at 5am on Saturday morning!

Chaffinch video

It’s beak must be getting a bit sore! If you have any ideas on how to stop it, I’d love to hear them!!

Phonics:

This link will take you to the phonics lessons. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCP_FbjYUP_UtldV2K_-niWw/featured

Reception, your lesson will be uploaded at 10am. Year 1s, your lesson will be uploaded at 10:30am. If you feel like you need a bit of extra practice there is another lesson at 11:00am that focuses on blending sounds. After they have been uploaded the videos are available to view at any time throughout the day.

If you’re struggling to concentrate for the full video, try doing it in sections and have a break between each bit.

English:

We’re going to try something a bit different this week, I hope you like it!

Reception: This week your activities will be focussed on Jack and the Beanstalk. https://www.thenational.academy/reception/english/plant-a-seed-reception-wk5-1 Click ‘Start Lesson’ and then click play on the video. The teacher on the video will give you instructions from there.

Year 1: Your activities will be about information texts – starting with a “Terrifying T-Rex!” https://www.thenational.academy/year-1/english/terrifying-t-rex-year-1-wk5-1 Click ‘Start Lesson’ and then click play on the video. The teacher on the video will give you instructions from there.

Maths:

We are on Summer Term – Week 5 (w/c 18th May). It sounds like a lot of you are enjoying the maths which is great to hear! You’re all super mathematicians!

Reception: Day 1  – Superworm https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/ Have fun creating your own worm patterns (don’t use any real wiggly worms!!).

Year 1: Lesson 1 – Compare Length & Height

Worksheet: L1 – Compare Length & Height

Answers: L1 – Answers Compare Length & Height

You (or an adult) can check your answers after you’ve completed the activity

Extra Activity:

Science: What do plants need to survive? Have a look at this video to see what plants need to grow.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/science-ks1-ks2-ivys-plant-workshop-what-do-plants-need-to-survive/zkw2gwx

See how much you can remember from the video and fill in this sheet about what plants need. What do plants need to survive?

If you want to do some extra work, see if you can make your own science experiment. Put one plant somewhere dark, one plant somewhere light and give them both the same amount of water and see which one grows better – which one do you think will survive?

Can you think of another experiment to test what plants need to survive?

Remember you can complete activities from the activity menu anytime you like.

I hope you have a good week. Remember not to worry if you can’t get through everything, make sure you’re having fun and playing too!

If you would like to share any work with us or your friends you can send it to admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk or if you’re in reception you can share pictures through Tapestry. We love seeing what you get up to, whether that’s the work we set or other fun activities you’re doing with your family!

Hello Hedgehogs.

What a busy week we have all had home learning. I’m sure you have been enjoying doing some or all of the work Miss Horton and I have put on the school website and that you have also done lots of lovely activities that you have chosen yourself too.

Thank you for just having a go and we are so proud of you, however much of this work you squeeze in to a busy day.

Have a good weekend

I thought this golf game looked lots of fun. Can you make one, maybe with even more holes! You can choose which numbers you put above each hole. If you don’t have a golf club, you can use any kind of bat or even a stick, and any little ball will work too. Play the game with your family. Make up the rules of the game and see who wins!

Hedgehogs Home Learning Thursday 14th May

Good morning everyone.

I hope you have had a lovely week so far and that you and your family are all well.

Your tasks for today are below. If you would like to share photographs of what you have done this week please email them to admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk and we will put them on the school website. If you’d rather we didn’t put them on the website please say in your email, but we’d still love to see the photos!

If your child is in Reception, you can also share photos with Miss Horton and I on Tapestry (these won’t be put on the school website).

We love to see what you are all doing, whether this is school work or your own games, projects and activities.

How many elastic bands can you put on a food tin?  You could use different colours and sizes of bands too. I wonder who will have the most?!

Phonics

Reception – today we are learning the ‘er’ sound as in her.

Reception ‘er’ colour activity 14th May

If the ‘er’ sound is a bit tricky, please do this activity all about CVC words instead.

Year 1 – your sound today is ‘or’ for fork that we did last year.

Year 1 ‘or’ colour activity 14th May

Reading

Please log in to Reading Eggs today and use one of the activities of your choice.

Spelling

Use the look, cover, write, check sheet to learn to spell the words with your phonics sound today.

Reception – her, fern, herd, herb, term, farmer OR sun, box, cab, man, bin, rat

Year 1 – fork, morning, corn, cork, torch, thorn.

Look cover write check

English

Reception – Sing the nursery rhyme ‘Incy Wincy Spider’ together. Print out and cut up (or draw) the different parts of the rhyme. Can you put them in the right order? Write a sentence to say what is happening for each picture.

Children in Reception spell using the sounds they know as well as remembering some short, everyday words. So the sentence ‘He climbed up the drain’ might be written as ‘He climd up the drayn’. This is ok, and you don’t need to correct every word. Try to encourage children to spell common words correctly, but other words are brilliant just sounded out!

Incy Wincy Spider 14th May

Hedgehogs Home Learning – 11th May 2020

Good Morning Hedgehogs!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and that you had some fun in the sunshine before all the rain!! I’m sure you all enjoyed celebrating VE Day on Friday, I enjoyed it (especially having some delicious cakes!!). I’ve been busy in the garden this weekend, my beetroots are starting to grow now and so are my sunflowers. My friends and I are having a competition to see whose sunflower will grow the tallest so we have to take pictures and send them to each other – fingers crossed mine wins! Are any of you growing sunflowers? Is your sunflower bigger than mine?

IMG_3356

You’re all doing such a great job working hard at home. Please don’t feel worried if you can’t complete everything. If you are having any problems or finding anything tricky please let me know and I will do my best to help.

Reception: Day 1- The Very Busy Spider  https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/

I’d love to see if anyone attempts making a 3D spiders web (and if you manage to travel through it!)

Year 1: Lesson 1 – Add by Making Ten

Extra Activity:

Science: Classifying and Grouping Plants. Have a look at this video to see how Ivy sorts her plants into groups,

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/science-ks1-ks2-ivys-plant-workshop-classifying-and-grouping-plants/zh9jvk7

She sorts them into four categories:

With seeds:    

1) Flowers

2) Conifers

Without seeds:

3) Ferns

4) Mosses

Can you think of a way you might sort the plants in your garden? For example: the number of petals, the shape of the leaf, the colour of the flower.

I had a go with the plants/trees in my garden and sorted them depending on the colour of their petals. I took pictures of plants and sorted them into a table – you could draw the plants if you like (I’m sure you’re all much better artists than me!). You can use the same groups as I have, or you could choose your own.

Can you put little drops of water in the holes on the top of Lego or Duplo?! You can use an eye drop dropper or a cooking pipette if you have one. Or you can dip your finger in to a cup of water and see if you can aim the droplet that forms on the end of your finger in the hole.
