Rabbits Home Learning for Wednesday 1st July

Good Morning Rabbits – Happy Middle of the Week Day!

Today we will continue the writing task based on the short film – Little Boat.

We will have a look at the maths that are set on Bitesize and do some more reading from the short stories that I found on line.

Grammar:  Please can you do some short grammar tasks from the attached sheet that I have created.  You have to add a time phrase to the sentences:

Grammar Task

English:  yesterday, you wrote a part of the story and wrote a transition paragraph.  Today, you are going to focus on using speech in your story.

I would like you to use the speech bubble sheet (attached) and make some suggestions of what the boat would be thinking as it makes its way through the dark sea, the sea filled with rubbish and then when she gets broken and battered.  Think of a few sentences that might express how it feels.

thought bubbles

Can you then watch the very short part where the seagulls fly past and mend the sails.  Can you write a few sentences to explain what they did – how this helped the boat and what the boat might have thought.

Maths: bbc bitesize has a maths lesson for either year 2 or year 3.

If you prefer, I have included these maths-based challenges that you could do.

outdoor maths game

PSHE – More ideas for today are to think about how we can keep ourselves staying positive and happy.

Mrs Viner is excellent at giving us ideas for keeping well in our minds.  This is another way to do some ‘Self-Care’ to keep you positive.

Write a list:

You need a large piece of paper and a lot of coloured pens or pencils.

You need to write two columns (so draw a line down the middle of the paper)

One one side you are going to write “THINGS I KNOW”  and on the other side “THINGS OTHER PEOPLE TELL ME”

In the first column, you are going to list all the things that you KNOW you are good at doing, or you are good at being.  You could add anything that is positive and that is something you are aware of for yourself.

In the second column, you are going to write a list of all the things other people tell you that are positive.  Your parents will be telling you things all the time about how special you are, how wonderful you are, what lovely hairy you have etc.  You need to remember all the lovely things that people say about you – include your friends and me!  I have said some good things about all of you too.

Your list should be colourful, LONG and full of positive things about you.

When you finish the list – decorate the page and turn it into a picture by adding a pretty border.

Keep this and keep looking it at it.  You might persuade someone else in your family to make one too – Mums and Dads need plenty of encouragement you know!

 

Have a super day

Mrs Cooke.

Topic:

Wildlife Wednesday: Get yourself a piece of paper and a pencil. Find a place to sit in the garden (or sit by an open window). If you’re outside pop a mark in the middle of the paper, if you’re by a window pop a mark at the edge of the paper. This mark represents where you’re sat. Close your eyes, be quiet and listen to the naturals sounds around you. Open your eyes and mark it on the paper with something that represents the sound and where it is in relation to you i.e. a bird at the top of their paper to represent a bird in the distance in front of them singing.

I wonder what kinds of noises you’ll hear in your garden…

If you have any problems or any work you’d like to send us to see please contact Nikki in the office and she will forward it onto us. We love seeing what you get up to!

Have a great day!

Rabbits – Home learning for Tuesday 30th June

Goodness me Rabbits – its the end of June!

How are you?  All well and ready to work today?  You are doing so well sticking with this home learning.  So for today – here are your tasks:

Reading:  I am keen that you all keep on with your reading books – but I have found these lovely stories for you to read – select the level of difficulty that you think you would like to have.  *  **  ***

*  https://www.shortkidstories.com/story/cookie-crumbs/

**  https://www.shortkidstories.com/story/a-full-moon-goes-bananas/

*** https://www.shortkidstories.com/story/hummingbirds/

English:  To continue work from the plan that you made yesterday, we are going to construct the first part of the narrative.

BEGINNING:  you write the following paragraphs:

1:  A description of the boat, and where it is sailing at the start.  You could write this from the boat’s perspective – remember you need to use “I”  if you are doing that.

Add sentences that describe how the boat moves – think about using adjectives and verbs – how it moves might be described by the direction, the motion that it has in the water, or you could think about how the boat might ‘feel’ if it is a character – is it a brave boat?  Is it a curious boat – adventurous?

2:  A narrative of where the boat would like to travel, or where it is likely to travel.  You put this part of the language into future tense “the boat might go to ….. the boat will travel to ….. the boat will be ……”

3:  A third paragraph to transition between the first location of the boat’s journey and what happens next.

PLEASE DON’T DO ANY MORE!  I have a plan for tomorrow which needs you to stop where you are now.

Maths:  BBC Bitesize lesson is set for today.

Maths Games:  I have also found this activity which might be fun if you like doing extra maths.  https://thirdspacelearning.com/blog/fun-maths-games-activities-for-kids/#13-3-best-outdoor-maths-games-and-activities-to-do-at-home-

PSHE – Health

You were thinking about skin and learning about soap yesterday.  Today we are going to do more about health but this is about exercise.

We have been doing Joe Wicks through the holidays and I am also doing this curious kids’ workout now some of the children are back at school – have a look:

For today – I would like you to design a great work out around the house.  You don’t need to stay in one place, but you need to use your home in interesting ways.

For example, climbing up and down stairs is great exercise for your large muscles in your legs and bottom and tummy.

Plumping cushions and pillows is great for your arms.

Sweeping or mopping is excellent for pectoral muscles (in your chest) and your back.

SO … please have a look around your home (and outside) and complete a work out routine that has 9 different exercises.

When you have the exercises planned you need to fill in the chart attached with the details.  You can then share this with your friends!

Exercise Log

I have added my own exercise idea to start you off.

Have fun today.

Mrs Cooke.
