Hedgehogs Home Learning – 21/4/20

Good Morning Hedgehogs 🙂

Hopefully the weather will be as nice today as it was yesterday. I got out into the garden yesterday and have been planting some seeds, so everyone keep your fingers crossed they grow! I’ll keep you updated on how they’re doing, I wonder if any of you have planted any seeds? Maybe you could give me some tips!

Phonics:

Reception: The ‘ch’ sound – Watch the video and then see if you can complete the interactive activity. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zvq9bdm/articles/zjp3pg8

Year 1: Real and Nonsense words for ‘ey’. Have a look at the sheet can you spot which are the real ‘ey’ words and which are the nonsense ‘ey’ words. If you can’t print the sheet off, you could always write a list of the real words in one colour and the nonsense words in another colour.

Real & Nonsense ‘ey’ words

Handwriting:

Reception: Practise writing 2 of the one-armed robot letters. Use the video to help you see what the letters should look like. Can you think of any words that start with these letters? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zgjj6sg/articles/z8qb97h

Year 1:  Please practice writing the following words: was, is, his, has, you. Try doing ‘Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check’ – look at the word, say it out loud, cover it up, have a go at writing it and then check if it is correct. You could get an adult or an older brother/sister to test you! Remember to try and join your letters if you can.

English:

BBC Bitesize are doing live lessons everyday now. I thought it would be a fun to have a go at their English lesson for today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z7hc47h

You get to watch a series of videos and they will give you some activities to complete. The activities today look really interesting! If you enjoy writing your postcard from the magic faraway tree you could think about writing a postcard to someone in your family or a friend to tell them what you’re up to – I’m sure it would really cheer them up!

Maths:

These links should take you to the correct page for each year group. We’re starting from ‘Summer Term – Week 1 w/c 20th April’

Reception: Day 2 – Supertato https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/

If you want to know all about the evil pea in the ‘Supertato’ story, there are a few videos on YouTube of the story being read.

Year 1: Lesson 2 – Make Equal Groupings https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/

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

Extra Activity:

Have a go at one of the activities on the activity menu.

Activity Menu

Remember, if there’s anything you’d like to share then you can send it to school through the school admin address – I’d love to hear from you.

It was lovely to see the plants that Devon saw on her walk – what beautiful pictures! I wonder if any of you can identify what any of the flowers are…

Have a good day – stay safe.

Hedgehogs Home Learning – 20/4/20

Good Morning Hedgehogs!

I hope you had a lovely Easter, and you didn’t eat too much chocolate!

I’m Miss Horton (some of you might remember me when I came to see you and we went to forest school, but it seems like a long time ago now!). I’ll be teaching you while Mrs Farmer has some time off to have her baby. I was really looking forward to seeing you all again and hopefully we’ll be back in the classroom together soon. You might have to bear with me while I get to grips with all the online websites but this work should keep you busy for now!

Exercise:  Make sure you’re doing some exercise to keep your brain and body active! You could try Joe Wicks or Oti Mabuse (from Strictly Come Dancing) does daily dance lessons on her Youtube channel – lots of fun! Remember to try and get some fresh air and enjoy this lovely sunshine.

Phonics: Reception: ‘sh’ Roll and Read  – Roll a dice, see if you can read the words that the number on the dice matches up to on the sheet.

Roll and Read ‘sh’

Year 1: ‘y’ Board Game (you can play this on your own or you can challenge somebody else in your house to play!) – Each player takes it in turns to roll a dice. If you land on a word, read the word. If you say the word correctly, you get a token. When all players have reached the finish the player with the most tokens is the winner.

Board Game and ‘y’ Tokens

Handwriting: Reception: Practise writing 2 of the one-armed robot letters. Use the video to help you see what the letters should look like. Can you think of any words that start with these letters?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zgjj6sg/articles/z8qb97h

Year 1:  Please practice writing the following words: today, of, said, says, are, were. Try doing ‘Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check’ – look at the word, say it out loud, cover it up, have a go at writing it and then check if it is correct. You could get an adult or an older brother/sister to test you!

English: Have a look at these pairs of sentences. Can you think of a way to join them together?

Daisy drew a mouse. Daisy gave him a name

Let’s put the craft things in tins. Let’s put the pencils in pots.

Then the rain had gone. Then the room had gone too.

Soon they were sticking stars on the sofa. Soon they were sticking fishes on the floor. Soon they were sticking monkeys on the fireplace.

E.g. Daisy drew a mouse and gave him a name.

Can you see what word I added and what word I took away? See if you can follow the rules that I used to write out the other sentences. Remember that your sentence should start with a capital letter and end with a full stop. Reception if you are struggling with the reading/writing get and adult to write out the sentences for you and cut them out, you can choose where the word should go to join the sentences together and which word you should cross out.

Maths: These links should take you to the correct page for each year group. We’re starting from ‘Summer Term – Week 1 w/c 20th April’. There is a video/powerpoint for you to watch and then an activity/worksheet to complete. They sometimes give you ideas of some extra things you could do.

Reception: Day 1 – Supertato https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/

If you want to know all about the evil pea in the ‘Supertato’ story, there are a few videos on YouTube of the story being read. I’m looking forward to seeing what you trap and what you use to trap them! Remember to be careful with your measurements.

Year 1: Lesson 1 – Make Doubles https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/

Science: This term we will be looking at plants.

Have a look at this video https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpxnyrd/articles/zw2y34j

What plants can you find outside? Have a look around your garden or even when you’re on your daily walk to see if you can find any of the plants on the sheet below – tick off all the ones you find. Remember the “No pick, No lick!” rule from forest school.

Flower hunt sheet

I hope you enjoy your day!

Miss Horton 🙂

Hedgehogs home learning Friday 3rd April

Happy Friday Hedgehogs!

I’m sure you are looking forwards to Easter, and the next two weeks would have been your ‘Easter holiday’. We won’t be setting any home learning tasks during the holiday period, but you can revisit the tasks you have been set over the last two weeks and carry out any you missed or repeat those that you really enjoyed!

Don’t eat too many chocolate eggs and Easter sweets!

Mrs Johnson

Fine motor skills

Today you can print out or copy the design for making an Easter chick.

Chick 3rd April 2020

Phonics

Please think about the phonics you did yesterday on Education City. You can do it again if you wish before carrying out todays task…

Year 1 – can you put the tricky words from yesterday in to a sentence?

Reception – can you play ‘eye spy’ with a grown up? What sound does the object you can see start with? Can you write the letter to match the sound?

English

Use the photographs you took yesterday to write down the instructions for the task you did. Ask an adult to help you if you aren’t sure – you can write the sentences together perhaps.

Don’t forget to start a new line for each new part of the instruction.

Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter and end it with a full stop.

Use words such as first, then, next, after that, finally, lastly etc to start your sentences.

Maths

Year 1 – your multiplication lesson is set up on MyMaths

Reception – Collect some objects from around your house. Can you make a number line with them? Put 1 object in its own set first, then 2 in the next set, then 3 in the next set, all the way up to 10 and beyond! Can you write the numeral to go with each set of objects? What would happen if you joined two sets together? for example if you joined the set 3 and 1 together, how many would you have altogether?

Reading

Please log on to Reading Eggs to carry out an activity in ‘My Lessons’.

Yoga

Todays yoga is based on the story ‘We’re Going On A Bear Hunt’.

Golden Time

I hope you enjoyed playing a board game together with someone in your house last week. It would be lovely if you made time every Friday afternoon to play a board game with other people in your house please. If you don’t have a board game, I’m sure you can find virtual games to play together online or to print out (www.twinkl.co.uk have some good ones) and you might even have board games for your Xbox or PlayStation!

Support For Families during the closures

Please see the e-mail from Telford and Wrekin Council offering support for people in need.

Shropshire Telford & Wrekin Beam – Phone-based support

Over the last 2 weeks we have been working on how we can continue to provide support for the young people who access our drop-in services.

From 2nd April 2020, Shropshire Telford & Wrekin Beam will be offering a call-back telephone service.

Please note that we are not offering a crisis or instant response service.

The support being offered is purely phone-based.  We cannot provide support via email, text/messaging apps or on video calling platforms.

Accessing call-back support:

Young people can email us at AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk asking for support.  Once they have emailed, an automatic response will ask for some more information.  When this has been completed, a team member will contact them to discuss what help they need, and when the best time would be for a practitioner to call them.

Calls will be booked in with our practitioners within our usual drop-in times.

Accessing support without a call back:

Where a young person does not want to talk but still needs some support, they can still contact us via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.  We can send details of online resources, information and apps which can offer support.

Information for Professionals:

You can signpost any young people who you feel would benefit from knowing more about this offer to our website https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/beam/coronavirus.

You can also pass on the details as to how they get in touch with us.  Please ask the young person to contact us via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.

We won’t be able to contact young people unless the request for contact from our service has come from the young person or their parent/carer.

For all young people who are aged 13 and under, their parent/carer will need to make a request on the young person’s behalf.

As with our face to face drop-ins, the young person should want to engage with us, and be able to do so over the phone.

Information for Parents/carers:

If you feel your child(ren)/young person would benefit from our support, please take a look at our website https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/beam/coronavirus.

For young people aged 13+ please ask them to contact us via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.

For young people who are aged 13 and under, you will need to contact us on their behalf via AskBeam@childrenssociety.org.uk.

As with our face to face drop-ins, the young person should want to engage with us, and be able to do so over the phone.

We will continue to innovate and adapt as we need to. This is an enormous effort from every corner of The Children’s Society to ensure we can continue to offer support to the children and young people we work with.  For more information about how our charity is working at the moment, or to donate to our emergency Coronavirus appeal, please go to our website at https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/
