Week commencing 8th June

6/6/2020

Hi all,
Hope you have had a good week and that you are all well and remaining sane!
Please let me know if you have any issues or if you struggle to understand something, I am always here to help.

Maths – Keep practising your times tables!
The worksheets for White Rose Maths are no longer on the website, so you can find them attached below. You may still wish to watch the videos so please still follow the link.
Year 1 - https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/
Year 2 - https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/
Please start with summer term, week 7, lessons 1-4. Record the answers in your maths book. You don’t necessarily need to write the questions out, unless the adult teaching you wants you to, as it may be easier to mark.
The worksheets are fairly simple so I would suggest doing some work practically. This will help with understanding.
EXTRA (optional) – I have added mastery sheets for both year 1 and year 2, for those of you who find the work easy and want to push yourselves, feel free to have a go.

Literacy –
This week we are going to be looking at the story ‘Dear Zoo’. (All work to be completed in your books, don’t forget capital letters, full stops and finger spaces!)
Please watch the Link: https://youtu.be/Au_3-hDGJjw
Day 1 – WALT write a list, using commas. Follow the link and watch the video:
Watch the clip and look at the front cover. Has anyone ever visited the Zoo before? What animals did you see? Can you describe the animal as much as possible?

Yr1 – Have resource 1A ready. With adult support children cut out each animal as they encounter it and stick in list, one underneath the other. Once this is done match the pictures to the label. Children then write a list of the animals in their book. Model how to separate items in a list using a comma at the end of each sentence and a full stop at the end of the list.
Yr2 – Have resource 1A ready. Children cut out each animal as they encounter it and stick in list, one underneath the other. Once the list is complete, they then write the correct name next to each animal with a. short description of what that animal looks like, for example: the giraffe is yellow and bright orange, with a long neck and thin legs.

Children then write a list of the animals in order using a comma at the end of each sentence and a full stop at the end of the list.

Day2 – WALT understand how to write our address using capital letters.
Each child will need a blank postcard – see resource.
Using resource 2a (if you have one) place the letter in an envelope addressed to child. Show the letter to them, noting (highlight) with them that a capital letter has been used for people and place names.
Open the letter noting the features again and highlighting these. Who has written the letter? Why are they writing? What do we know about the animal now?

Yr1 – On the address side of the postcard children independently write their full name making sure they use a capital letter for part of their name. They then attempt to write their full address which can be copied down for them, making sure they have a capital letter for each part. Practise this first on a scrap bit of paper or a whiteboard if you have one so that you can check spelling and punctuation.
Yr2 -Children say their address to an adult who checks it. They then write their own address practising it first to ensure they produce clear capital letters. After this they then copy it on to their postcard.

Day 3 – WALT write in the past tense. (this is a practise for tomorrows letter)
Adult prepare a bag of objects or photos to suggest activities you like doing. Talk about what you did last week (use past tense). I went on my bike and rode through a muddy puddle. Practise writing a postcard together to a family member or school. Begin with Dear and then pick someone’s name. Start writing a postcard about something you enjoyed and invite children to use your props to remind you of each sentence.

Yr1 – Children to write a postcard, writing several sentences about what they did last week, using past tense. End the postcard with Love from and name.
Yr2 – Children write a postcard using past tense but write a paragraph. Please try to include either because or so to join simple ideas, e.g. I went for a run with mum because I was bored.

Day 4 – WALT write a persuasive letter
Return to ‘Dear Zoo’. Ask children to remind you what animals are in the story. Read the first page and ask children why the author wrote to the zoo: is he asking for something? Saying thank you for something? Or Telling them something?
Explain that they will try and write a letter to the zoo asking for a new pet for our classroom, e.g. Please can you send me a long, stripey snake with sharp fangs and a rattling tail? End with Love from and a name.

Yr1 – Children to write the address at the top right-hand corner (adult support) and Dear at the start. Please write a few sentences about the animal they want and why? They can then draw a picture of the animal they would like below.
Yr2 – Children discuss with an adult what animal they are going to request and why. Rehearse the reasons they will give for requesting this particular animal. Rehearse describing words which can be used to describe the animal. E.g. Dear Zoo. Please will you send me a cute, curious meerkat? I want a meerkat because they look amazing when they are standing up and looking round.

Day 5 – WALT edit and improve a piece of work.
Yr1/2 – to look through their work and correct any punctuation and spelling mistakes and make improvement’s.
