Well done James!

A massive ‘well done’ to James in Hedgehog Class for his brilliant fundraising last weekend.

James set himself a challenge to do a 6 mile bike ride to raise money for Comic Relief. He chose 6 miles because he is 6 years old. That is a long way for most grown ups, never mind someone so young!

Due to James’ determination and great effort, he completed his six mile bike challenge in the lanes around his house last Saturday with his Mum and Dad, and raised an amazing £503. Well done James!

Hedgehog Class Forest School

We had a BRILLIANT time at Forest School this week. We stayed at school for this session and made dens on the school field. We had hot chocolate and biscuits in our dens.

Then we worked in our teams to see if we could use bits of plastic bottle to make water travel without spilling it. It was lots of fun!

Thank you for teaching us Kris.

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.

Purple Group 15.1.21

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
