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!

Yellow and Orange group 15.1.21

Yellow and Orange group word problems 15.1.21

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.

Green group 15.1.21

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.

English 15.1.21

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

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.

Red group 14.1.21 questions and Red Group 14.1.21

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.

Purple Group 14.1.21

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!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vhz5WHr9d6E

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.

Blank UK map

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?

Label the car parts

Owl Class Home Learning 12.1.21

Good morning lovely Owls. Well, we survived our first full day on TEAMS! Let’s go for it again today but in case of technology problems, today’s work is below.

*English – continuing the Oak Academy unit. Using the link below, follow the instructions in the lesson to work through the teaching video and the related activity.

To practise and apply knowledge of letter strings: ough, ear, ou, au, ice including test (thenational.academy)

*Maths – Today, we are looking at fractions of an amount. Take a look at the PowerPoint before completing the worksheets for your year group. Remember that the question sheets are divided into 2 strands :Reasoning and Problem Solving (RPS) and Verbal Fluency (VF) and into 3 levels of difficulty (developing, expected and greater depth. You only need to complete one of the three levels of difficulty for each strand i.e. Year 6 expected RPS and VF. The answers are included at the back of each set for you to mark your work.

Year-5-6-Spring-Block-1-Step-22-PPT

*Reading – Make sure that you are spending at least 15 minutes per day reading for pleasure. Keep a log of the title and pages read in your book.

*Science – Last week, I asked you to look at the work of Carl Linnaeus and his classification system of living things. Hopefully, you thought about how important it is to have a system of classifying livings things and what it would be like without it. Think of it as a filing system that helps with identification or a gigantic family tree.

So today, we are going to look at invertebrates.

Take a look at the following and write down the most interesting fact from either.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zmj8q6f

https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/animals-and-nature/invertebrates/

Looking at the classification system, a wolf spider would fit as follows:

As you can see, a wolf spider is the species name but it also falls into the class of arthropods. This means it has some of the same characteristics as crustaceans like crabs i.e. a hard outside skeleton. Today, I would like you to us the sheets below to find out more about the characteristics of invertebrates. There are 8 different sections but you do not have to complete all 8, you can pick at least 4 of your choice.

ESResource6.3.3Invertebratesharder

*TTRockstars – spend any spare minutes rocking on through those tables.

Complete your work in the exercise books sent home last term and please send photos of what you have done to me at hollis.c@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk or admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk.

Have a great day and I will hopefully see you throughout the day on TEAMS.

Owl Class Home Learning 11.1.21

Good morning Owls. I hope you had a lovely weekend and managed to get out for some fresh air. It was fab to see so many of you on Friday for our first Teams meeting. Hopefully, you are joining our TEAMS meeting at 9.15am this morning; I can’t wait to see you all again. This week, we will be gradually getting to grips with using some of the features of TEAMS and holding 3 daily meetings. We will have a catch up TEAMS meeting at 1pm today to discuss the morning’s work and to go through the afternoon task with a final TEAMS meeting at 2.50pm to say goodbye and see how your day has gone. I have included a suggested timetable for how you could organise your learning below around the meeting and breaktimes.

9.15am TEAMS meeting to introduce the morning’s tasks

Spellings

10.30am Breaktime

11am Maths

12noon Lunch

1pm TEAMS meeting to catch up about the morning tasks and introduce the afternoon task

PE time

Reading time and TT Rockstars

2.50pm TEAMS catch up

In case the technology fails (or the teacher in my case), I am also posting copies of all of the links and resources as usual each day so that if things go wrong with TEAMS or you can’t find something, you know where to look.

So, here is today’s work:

*Spellings – spend some time today continuing to learning your spellings for the week (Miss Horton posted them last Thursday and is planning a spelling test this Thursday on TEAMS). You could use the PowerPoint below to look at the pattern/meanings of words.

Year 5 Handwriting Practice – Cursive

Year 5 spellings PowerPoint

Year 6 Handwriting Practice – Cursive

Year 6 spellings PowerPoint

*English – we will be continuing the unit begun last week on Oak Academy. Using the link below, follow the instructions in the lesson to work through the teaching video and the related activity.

To write the opening paragraph (thenational.academy)

*Maths – Year 6:

Today, we are looking at the four operations and fractions (+-x÷). Take a look at the PowerPoint before completing the worksheets. Remember that the question sheets are divided into 2 strands :Reasoning and Problem Solving (RPS) and Verbal Fluency (VF) and into 3 levels of difficulty (developing, expected and greater depth. You only need to complete one of the three levels of difficulty for each strand i.e. Year 6 expected RPS and VF. The answers are included at the back of each set for you to mark your work.

Year-5-6-Spring-Block-1-Step-21-PPT

Year-6-Spring-Block-1-Step 21-VF-Four-Rules-with-Fractions

Year-6-Spring-Block-1-Step-21-RPS-Four-Rules-with-Fractions

Maths – Year 5:

Year-5-Spring-Block-2-Step-18-PPT-Multiply-Mixed-Numbers-by-Integers

Year-5-Spring-Block-2-Step-18-RPS-Multiply-Mixed-Numbers-by-Integers

Year-5-Spring-Block-2-Step-18-VF-Multiply-Mixed-Numbers-by-Integers

If either of the above are too tricky, try a bit more practice subtracting fractions using the PowerPoint and sheets below:

Year-4-Spring-Block-3-Step-7-PPT-Subtract-2-Fractions

Year-4-Spring-Block-3-Step-7-RPS-Subtract-2-Fractions

Year-4-Spring-Block-3-Step-7-VF-Subtract-2-Fractions

*Reading – Make sure that you are spending at least 15 minutes per day reading for pleasure. Elevenses with David Walliams is also back, starting with The Boy in the Dress. These are audio clips of his complete stories, a few chapters a day.

*PE – As this afternoon is one of our PE afternoons, I want you to find something active to do. As with the last lockdown, you may have to get a bit creative! So, with that in mind, how about going for a family walk/bike ride, trampolining in the garden, devise a garden circuit and test it out, set yourself some 60 second challenges such as how many star jumps can you do in a minute etc? Also, Joe Wicks is posting new PE with Joe workouts on a Monday, Wednesday and a Friday (live at 9am or catch up on his YouTube channel). Remember that physical exercise and fresh air is as important as schoolwork.

*TTRockstars – spend any spare minutes rocking on through those tables.

Complete your work in the exercise books sent home last term and please send photos of what you have done to me at hollis.c@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk or admin@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk. We are working on ways of you saving your work in TEAMS to save you having to send evidence to us but that is a work in progress so bear with us.

Have a great day and I will hopefully see you throughout the day on TEAMS.

Hedgehog home learning 8th January 2021

Hello Hedgehogs!

Hopefully we will begin today with a TEAMS meeting at 9am so that we can all say hello to one another.

I hope you had a good day yesterday and enjoyed the tasks I set for you. Remember, as long as you are trying your best I will be very pleased! We know that learning at home is very different to learning at home, so try not to worry if you’re not sure or can’t do something. I’m still here to help so please ask your parents to let me know if you’re struggling. All of the activities are there for your parents to support you with, and they can adapt them to suit you and your needs if they would like to.

Please find below your tasks and activities for today. If you need a workbook to do these in please let us know and we will put one out for you to collect from school. You DO NOT need to print the worksheets, all of the activities can be done using the sheets as a guide and then do the work in your book. If you can put some photos on to Tapestry for me to see what you have been doing that would be wonderful!

You can email me on a Thursday and Friday too if you need anything explaining – johnson.s@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk.

Keep safe and see you soon!

Mrs Johnson

English

In our book of the week, we are finding rhyming words and making lists of other words that rhyme with them too.

Can you make a list of words that rhyme? How many words can you think of for each list? They can be real or nonsense words, as long as they rhyme with the first word in the list!

Red group – please do cat, dog and pen on page 1.

Purple Group – please do pages 1 and 3.

Green group – please do pages 2 and 4.

Rhyming words activity

Yellow and Orange Group – You have a rhyming word jigsaw today. You might also like to make a list of other words which rhyme with each piece. Rhyming word jigsaw

Maths

Red Group – Please practice forming your numbers to 5 Numbers to 5 formation

Purple Group – Our work today is all about finding ‘one more’.Play this game using a dice and a coin for a counter. You can make it harder by using two dice and adding dots to each square to create bigger numbers! One More Than Game

History

In history we are going to be finding out about Henry Ford. In your work this week, can you find some pictures of Ford cars? Either draw them or print some out to glue in your workbook. Look at this information about Henry Ford. Afterwards, can you tell an adult something you remember about him and what he did?

Who was Henry Ford

Geography

We are going to be finding out about North America over the next few geography lessons. Using a globe, map or the internet, can you find North America? Where is it? Where is it near? Is it big or small? Have you heard of any of the big cities there, or any famous American people?

Is North America where you live? Can you find England on a map or globe? Make a little booklet to show where you live. You can include the name of your country (UK and England), roughly where abouts you are in that country (i.e Shropshire). Draw a picture of your house and say what the name of the town/village you live in is called. Draw a picture of the people you live with and say who they are. You can use this booklet if you would like to. Where am I on the map

Reading

Choose a lovely book and snuggle up with an adult or your favourite teddy/doll. Share the book together and talk about what happened in the story. Look carefully at the pictures – what is happening in each picture? Can you use them to retell the story in your own words? Choose five words from the story and learn to read them by sounding out, or know if they are tricky words and cannot be sounded out.
