To read with an adult;
In 1829 transport mainly took place by road on a horse and cart or carriage, or on rivers or canals. But in October 1829 there was a locomotive competition for the new Liverpool to Manchester Railway. It was won by 'The Stephenson Rocket' (pictured above) invented by George Stephenson along with his son, Robert. This competition known as the Rainhill Trials was an important event in the development of our railways.

Geography
Look at a map of the United Kingdom.
Can you find the capital city of London? What about the cities of Liverpool and Manchester? Is there a canal of river that links these 2 cities?
Are there any other cities or towns on the map that you have heard of or visited?

History - a speaking and listening activity to do with an adult
We have just read about the methods of transport before the Rainhill Trials. What do you think are the problems of travelling using just these methods? (Think about comfort, speed, carrying large loads and how easy it would be to travel on the river / canal.)

Art
This train is being painted to say 'Thank You' to those working in the NHS.
I would like you to design your own message that could be put on the
side of a train. It could be a message that says 'Thank You', a message that tells people to 'Stay Safe' or it could be a message to say 'Hello' to someone you haven't seen for a while.
It does need to be bright and colourful and include an eye-catching picture.

This 'Daily Activities Section' was updated on the 19th April 2020.
The first activities listed are on-going tasks which should be practised on a regular basis (ideally daily). Some of these activities have been updated so please take a look.
Don't forget to include some physical activity in your day.
Look at the list of useful links and websites Mr Dunn has added to 'kidspace' for more ideas and the new BBCBitesizeDaily activities.
Reading
Please continue to read and re-read the school books and others you have at home.
Re-reading a book helps a child to gain confidence, read at a faster, yet steady pace and introduce expression. (For a child to be assessed as a fluent reader they now have to be able to read expressively).
Sharing a book with your child also gives you a chance to discuss the text.
- Can they retell the story?
- Can they describe a character?
- Can they predict what might happen next?
- Do they understand all the vocabulary used?
- Can they think of other words that the author could use instead? For example; if the author used the word sad could they think of words like unhappy or miserable?
- If it is a non-fiction book what information have they learnt?
Tricky Words
The children have been bringing home a selection of 'tricky words' to practise reading at home. We have removed the tub from their book packs and they have a longer list. Please do not try and work on all of these words in one go; a few at a time would be ideal.
If your child has completed the list given why not get in touch.
Phonics
Ms Kalawsky has resourced some phonic based activities which are included in the home learning packs. This includes website links.
Also check out the new Phonics Play Comics. https://www.phonicsplaycomics.co.uk/index.html

Maths
Whilst solving written maths problems is an important part of the curriculum, practical and mental activities hold just as much value.
Here are some ideas of how you can help.
Place Value within 50 or 100
Counting to 50 and counting back from 50. Check that numbers are being pronounced clearly so there is no confusion e.g. fourteen and forty
- Can all numbers spoken be written correctly? ( That means no reversals.) Why not make use of the white board for this task?
- Can your child say what is one more or one less than any given number without the use of a number line or number square to help them?
- If you cover a number on the given number square can they tell you the number covered?
If this can all be completed accurately the next stage is to complete similar tasks but with numbers within 100.
including;

- Counting from any number within 100. e.g can they count fluently from 65 to 81 or backwards from 72 to 54?
Mental Addition - Can they recall all pairs of numbers that total 10? Join in with Dave Godfrey singing 'Farmer Pete' ? - Can they recall all pairs of numbers that total 20? Why not use the pairs to 20 game? - Do they have a quick recall of addition facts for numbers 3 to 9? For example 2 + 3 = 5 / 4 + 1 = 5 / 5 + 0 = 5 3 + 2 = 5 / 1 + 4 = 5 / 0 + 5 = 5 |
|
This section of mental addition continues to be extremely important!
If children can instantly recall addition facts for any single digit then they will achieve success throughout the school no matter what the value is of the numbers they are adding.
Once the children are confident then keep practising adding 2 single digit numbers e.g 4 + 7,
9 + 2, 8 + 9.
Work with the maths cubes or number square if needed before targeting that instant recall.

This will be our last look at the book 'Lost and Found' by Oliver Jeffers.
The story has a very happy ending with the boy and the penguin being reunited and setting off for home.
But what happens next?
Below I have written what I predict could be the next part of the story, could you finish it off for me?
Ideas to help:
Are they going to get there safely?
Who are they going to see in the forest?
What are they going to do?
Write sentences using your own ideas (or ideas magpied from an adult) to complete the story.
When the boy and the penguin got home they immediately started to plan their next adventure.
The next morning, as soon as the sun could be seen shining in the bright sky, they set off on their bikes towards the forest on the edge of town.

Maths
Today we are looking at making equal groups.
Using the 20 cubes in your home learning pack I would like you to investigate how many different ways you can split them into equal groups.
For example:
Can you split them so you can get equal groups of 2? Have you got 10 equal groups of 2?
What about splitting them into equal groups of 3? Can that be done with 20 cubes?
Now carry on your investigation.

We are going to have another look at counting in 10s from 0.
As you count look at the numbers on your number square in your home learning pack.
Talk to an adult:
What is the same about the numbers you say?
What is different about the numbers you say?
Remember the reason we count in 10s is so that we can count groups of 10 objects.
I would like you to count how many sticks are in this picture? How are you going to do it? How many are there?
Adults please feel free to extend this activity by counting a large amount of objects (for example Lego bricks or beads) by gathering them into groups of 10 and then counting the groups.

Did you find out that the Wright brothers were from the United States of America? The U.S.A is one of the countries which is in the continent of North America.
At school Class 1 were studying the different continents of the world. Learning about native animals; traditional art; celebrations; or just general facts.
Could you find out about North America for me? You could pick one of the countries and then choose your own topic of interest.
For example you could choose the U.S.A and make a model of a famous landmark e.g. the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building.
You could choose to find information about a popular sport or sport's personality e.g Ice Hockey or the racing driver Jacques Villeneuve from Canada.

Last time I asked you to measure things at home using non-standard units.Today if you have a ruler or tape measure at home I would like you to measure objects in cm.
You could record in your red books what each objects measures but remember in year 1 we measure to the nearest cm.
Important things to think about:
What do the numbers on the ruler mean?
Where should you place an object to start measuring it?
How does using a ruler help us to compare objects?

Apart from the umbrella what other 6 things do you think they should take with them?
Can you draw your ideas inside the outline of a suitcase? (You could ask an adult to help you with the outline shape.)
Then either label the objects you have drawn or write them down in phrases or sentences.
It would be great if you could include some describing words.
For example: A brightly coloured umbrella.

Last week if you completed the History task you would have found out about Orville and Wilbur Wright.
In 1903 they famously invented, built and flew a powered aeroplane but before that in 1902 they flew a glider.
Today why not have a go at making your own glider taking your idea from this picture or following instructions you find on-line.
(It does involve using a plastic straw but hopefully you still have one in your home learning pack.)

We have some understanding that we can use a ruler and measure the length of relatively small objects using cm.
This Maths task looks at using non-standard units to measure the length of items. (A year 1 objective.)
Using the cubes in your home learning pack I would like you to measure a range of small objects. These could be things like a leaf, a pencil sharpener, a Lego brick.(The cubes are small so your objects will have to be small.)
Can you write down your answers in your red book and then look at the following questions?
What was the shortest object you measured?
What was the longest?
Did you measure 2 things which were the same length?

Playing with water is great fun! Let's turn it into a Maths lesson.
Capacity
Can you show an adult a cup or small bucket with different amounts of water in it? Can you describe the container and the amount by using these words; full, nearly full, empty, nearly empty?
Continue the activity by investigating and comparing the capacity of different containers. This can be done using a measuring jug or a container which you can transfer the liquid in to.
Use the words more or less when comparing.

The last science task involved looking at objects which could float.
For this next activity I would like you to ask an adult to help you make a paper boat using one of the pieces of paper from your home learning pack. (There are various instructions on YouTube on how to do this depending on your origami skills.) Once made check it floats by placing it in water.
How much weight can be placed in the boat before it sinks?
Use the small maths cubes in your home learning pack and place them one at a time on the boat. Think carefully as you do this. Do you need to place them in the middle of the boat? Do you need to pile them up or do you need to spread them out evenly across the whole boat?
Can you show me by drawing a diagram in your red book how you decided to carry out this investigation? Where did you put the cubes in your boat?
Explain in sentences how many cubes you put and whether the boat stayed afloat. Tell me why you chose to arrange the cubes how you did and if you had done it differently would it have been better or not as good?
Why not finish today's activity by watching Maddie's sinking and floating song from CBBC?

Hopefully you have already checked out the alterations made to the daily mental maths activities. Today's specific task looks at mass.
Choose 2 objects. Which is heavier? Which is lighter?
Can you be a human weighing scale and decide?
When you have made your prediction how can you prove you are right?
If you don't have weighing scales at home just complete the activity as a prediction or have a go at making your own set of balance scales.
With an adults help find different things in your home and decide which are heavier and which are lighter.
Record your answers in your red book in sentences.
The _________________ is heavier / lighter then the __________________.

Read or listen to the book 'Lost and Found' by Oliver Jeffers. There are many different versions on YouTube including this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRAAQ8EWzig.
I would like you to imagine you found a penguin and you need to try and find out where he came from.
Use one of the pieces of A4 paper in your home learning pack and make a 'FOUND' poster. This needs to include the title (you could ask an adult to show you how to do this using bubble writing), a big picture of the penguin and at least 2 sentences. One sentence needs to say where he was found and the other sentence needs to say how they get in touch with you if they know who the penguin belongs to.

Remember the brown envelope in your home learning pack which said don't open until the 3.4.2020? That's today!
Enjoy using the things inside to make an Easter card. Think of a lovely message which you can write inside and give it to someone special.

As Easter approaches now would be the time when we would usually be looking forward to enjoying a 2 week holiday. However with things being a little different at the moment you may still want to continue with some home learning tasks.
The daily practise tasks are still on the website and should continue to be high priority. There are also many activities which are being offered by companies (such a CBBC, and Twinkl) which might suit your own family interests so well worth a few minutes of investigation.
Below I have included a few less formal activities myself which I hope you will enjoy. Remember you can now contact me via e mail if you wish

When you have been counting in fives have you noticed which digits are in the ones column?
Here are some other quick questions to answer to do with counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s.
If I am counting in fives from 0 will i say the number 19? Can you explain your answer?
If I count in tens from 0 and write down the numbers I have said sometimes I need to put a 0 in the ones column. Am I writing them down correctly? Again can explain your answer.
If I want to count the socks in my drawer then I think it is a good idea to count in twos. What do you think and why?
It is really important that you carry on practising counting whether it is in 1s, 2s, 5s or 10s. Why not join in with John Farnworth and his Super Movers routine regularly and take daily opportunities to count wherever you maybe, inside or out?
Remember KEEP COUNTING!

As the week comes to an end it gives us one last opportunity to revisit 'Whatever Next'.
It's a good job Baby Bear knows his address otherwise he might have landed down the wrong chimney! Do you know yours?
I would like you to practise writing your first name. surname and the first 2 lines of your address.
Some of the words will be tricky so use the strategy we use in the classroom - look, read, cover, write, check.
If you need to learn some longer words break them down into small chunks and learn them bit by bit.
D & T
We can't leave the book without returning one last time to the fantastic use of imagination.
Why not turn an empty box into a rocket so one of your toys can travel to
wherever they choose to go?
This could be a big box for a large teddy, a smaller cereal box for a smaller doll or an even smaller box for something like a Lego figure.
If you turn the box inside out and then sellotape it back together it will be easier to decorate. Draw or make a pretend picnic for them to take and also a friend that they may meet along the way.
Geography
Then once you have chosen where you would like the rocket to take them create a map so they know where they are going and more importantly making sure they can find their way home! The map need to show your house and the street where you live. Roads that are near yours plus other landmarks for example the school and the church. If you don't live in Hathern then don't worry just include things near where you are.
And I did say create, so if you don't want to draw a map make it 3D by using
objects for example Lego bricks, tins from the cupboard or even books to represent buildings (just don't forget to label them) thinking carefully about where you
position them.

If you have already now mastered counting objects in twos have a look on the number square and see if you can see a pattern?
Although it is fantastic that you have worked so hard, keep practising, as this skill helps to promote the learning of times tables which you will tackle in year 2.
So ready to count in fives? Once again remember the numbers should also have a visual representation - how lucky that we have our hands!
Check out BBC Super Movers KS 1 and join John Farnworth as he takes you through his counting routine.

I hope you manage to have a little time outdoors today with an adult. During this time I would like you to play an adjective game. Remember an adjective is used to describe something.
If an adult points to and names something (for example a path, plant, tree or a stone) you need to then think of an adjective to describe it.
You could challenge an adult to do the same.
No writing today so enjoy expanding your vocabulary by chatting and having time in the fresh air.

Have you been practising your counting forwards and backwards within 50?
If you have, that is fantastic, keep up the good work!
This task is to count in twos up to 20. It is really important that you understand the representation as you say each number so I would like you to use the cubes from your learning pack. As you count, move 2 cubes at a time until all the cubes are counted.
Can you ask an adult to set you a task of counting other objects in twos? Examples could be cutlery in a drawer, buttons on a remote control or pictures drawn on the whiteboard, anything that can be counted, but in twos.

Let's link our writing today to our Science work on senses.
I would like you to imagine that you have arrived in Antarctica with Baby Bear. Use your senses to describe what it is like. What can you see, hear, smell, feel and maybe even taste.
Don't forget to write in sentences using capital letters and full stops; spell using the phonemes you know; best handwriting and lots of imagination!
It would be great if you could include a picture of you and Baby Bear with the penguins.

Maths How did you get on with making your clock? Can you now show me 9 o'clock?
Developing that learning further, children in year 1 are asked to read and show the time 'to the half past' on a clock. This is a little trickier but keep practising with the adults in your home and you will soon get the hang of it! If you find watching a video helps then here is an example but there are lots of others out there. |

Did you enjoy making your sandwich? I want you to imagine that Baby Bear has asked you to take a trip with him to the continent of Antarctica to see his friends the penguins. There is not much room in his cardboard box plane but he has said you can take 5 things with you? Write down and draw pictures showing what you would take and why you have chosen those things. |

We are going to continue with exploring our senses by doing activities linked to sight and touch.
Sight - KIM'S GAME
With an adult collect various things from around the house and lay them out on a table, tray, plate or similar.
Look at them for a minute and then close your eyes and ask someone to take away one item (make sure you can't see what they have taken). Can you say what is missing? You can turn this into a game involving all the people in your home. You can make this harder by having more items.
A variation on this game would be took look at the things for a minute and then cover them all with a towel. Can you remember everything that is under the towel?
Touch - I CAN FEEL
In your red book I would like you to write down the answers to the following activity.
Going around your home or your garden I would like you to find separate things that could be described using the following adjectives; bumpy, smooth, soft, hard, small, furry, squishy and rough.

In your home learning pack there is a clock to make. Once you have made it, can you tell and show the time to the o'clock? This means being able to show the hands on the clock to say 4 o'clock, 6 o'clock etc. Get an adult to set similar times so you can develop your knowledge of telling the time 'to the o'clock'.
Then don't forget your mental and practical maths tasks.

Spend some time today writing down the different things you can smell.
If you get the chance why not go outside and with adult permission pick leaves and / or flowers. Put them into a pot, add a little water and stir well. You have made a perfume! But does it have a pleasant or unpleasant smell?
Sit quietly for 5 minutes (inside or outside). Write down all the things you can hear.
