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

Green group – Use the blank and shaded number sticks to help find different ways of making 20. The final sheet is for those children who would like a challenge!

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.
