Fact of the day: Magma and lava are two different things! 

Magma is the name given to hot liquid rock inside a volcano. Once it leaves the volcano, it’s known as lava. 

  Morning Journal:  What season is your favourite? Summer, Winter, Autumn or Spring? Mine is summer because I love relaxing down my beach hut with my family.  

 Feelings: What colour are you on this morning?  Miss Davey and I feel on Green today because we have loved speaking and hearing from you lovely bunch this week! 

Guided Reading:    

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmp2mfr 

Watch TV presenter Anita Rani read this extract from 'Daisy and the Trouble with Life' or read this short extract from 'Daisy and the Trouble with Life' 

I don’t know why it’s called “grounded” anyway. If you ask me, if someone says you’re grounded, then it should mean you have to stay on the ground. No hopping and jumping, flying or parachuting. That’s what grounded should mean: staying on the ground. Whether it’s inside ground or out- side ground, it shouldn’t make any difference. As long as you’re on the ground you should be OK. Both my trainers were on the ground in the hallway this morning when Gabby called for me. Gabby is my secret sister. We’re in a secret club – in fact it’s so secret, only me and her are in it. Every Saturday we take it in turns to be club leader and think of things to do. Last week it was my turn to choose, so we dug a mud trap in my back garden. Then we magicked Tiptoes, the cat from next door, into a lion and tried to get him to fall into our trap. But he wouldn’t. He just stayed on Mrs Pike’s wall and refused to come down. That’s the trouble with cats. They only ever want to do cat things, not lion things. 

In the end we had to bang him down with a spade. Gabby hit the wall with the spade handle and I kicked the wall with my trainers. Tiptoes jumped down then all right. He jumped down off the wall on the very first bang. Only not into my garden, into Mrs Pike’s. He never comes into our garden any more. In fact I didn’t see him on the wall for five days after that. Gabby says he must have seen us making the mud trap, and it would have been better if we’d magicked him into a hippopotamus. Hippopotamuses love mud. 

Gabby’s definitely right, so that’s what we were going to try today. A better spell and a bigger trap. Except we can’t now, because I’m not allowed out to play. Thanks to Mum. 

Excuse me a minute. I need to go somewhere again! 

Can you answer these questions?  

1. Look at the beginning of the extract. What does Daisy thinks being grounded means? 

2. Where were Daisy’s trainers? 

3. According to the text, who is Gabby? 

4. What did they dig last Saturday? 

5. What is the cat called? 

6. Did the cat do what Daisy wanted it to? 

7. Which animal does Gabby think they should have magicked the cat into? 

8. What two things are Gabby and Daisy going to try next? 

English:   

If, like Daisy, you had a secret club, what would it be called and what would you do in your secret club?  

We would like you to write a description of your club and explain what you do on a daily basis.  

Who is the club leader? What adventures have you been on?  

We would love for you to write this in first person (I) (Like Daisy has) 

Have fun and be imaginative :)   

Maths:  

  MOS: How many triangles can you see? Miss Davey thinks there are an even amount of triangles, do you agree or disagree? Why? 

Task: This week we have been looking at subtracting!  

Try playing this Subtraction game – Hit the Button! https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button 

On the menu go 

• Number bonds 

• Subtraction within 20 

OR 

On TTRS website, there is a game called Number Bots. It is the same log in for TTRS but this game focusses on number bonds! 

Topic: 

This is another fantastic lesson from BBC Bitesize. Managing emotions! https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmmgrj6 

Naomi Wilkinson has a song and dance routine which looks at the importance of self-belief. This routine can be performed at home and encourages you to get up and moving while you learn. 

In the next video, a group of children describe what they do when they feel angry and how they can calm down. Some of the children describe how their anger feels. A role-play demonstrates some alternatives to letting anger take over. A 'traffic lights' system can help children think through their angry moments. (A bit like our zones of regulation!)  

In the last video, a child explains his feelings after he has been angry. The animation explains why sometimes we lose control. It explains how our thinking brain developed over time and how, when we lived in caves, we needed a fast-acting fight or flight response to danger. The video looks at how our emotional brain can take over sometimes. 

Activity: Identifying feelings worksheet. Using this activity (Attached) children can learn to understand the different emotions they may feel. Get your child to match the activity with the feelings and to explain why they have chosen it. 

You can also design your own feelings booklet (Like we have at school) or our Zones of regulation chart like our one at school! 

Helping at home challenge:   

Today we would love for you to make the beds, you should have had some practise by now, so be sure to make your beds look amazing! 

We hope you have a fabulous day!   

Lots of love

   Fact of the day:    A bolt of lightning is five times hotter than the sun! 

    Morning Journal:  If you were going to be a piece of furniture, what piece of furniture would you be? I would be a bed because I love my bed! It is the comfiest place EVER. 

  Feelings: What colour are you on this morning? I feel a whole range of colours this morning! I’m going to do some yoga this morning to try and focus and get myself onto green J 

 ​​​​​Guided Reading:    

 Today we are going to create a new land in the magic faraway tree! Will you fly? climb? or maybe there will be multiple ways to travel there. Can you act out ways to travel to your new land! 

English:   

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpbbkqt/articles/zf6c47h 

Today we are focussing on describing words (Adjectives!)  

'It was a terrible book.' - The word 'terrible' is an adjective because it tells us what the book (the noun) was like. 

Adjectives can be placed before or after a noun. For example: 'The book she read on holiday was terrible.' or 'She read a terrible book on holiday.' 

You can use more than one adjective if you want to add extra detail. For example: 'She had a mouldy, smelly, overpriced sandwich.' 

When you have a list of adjectives like this, you separate them with commas. 

• Activity 1: A new land at the top of The Magic Faraway Tree 

Do you remember the story of 'The Magic Faraway Tree'? Watch the video to remind yourself. 

In the video, there are lots of different lands at the top of the tree. There was 'The Land of Toys', 'The Land of Topsy-Turvy' and 'The Land of Goodies'. 

What do you think each of these lands were like? 

Write a sentence for each land describing what each one is like (remember to use describing words). 

Once you've written your sentence for each land, think about a new land that you would like to create - you can be really imaginative. 

Choose a name for your land and try to write six sentences to describe what it looks like. Make sure you include describing words (adjectives) in all of your sentences. 

• Activity 2: Becoming an author 

Now that you have created a new land, could you write a mini chapter about what happens in your land? You can even create a character who you meet there. 

• First write the name of your land (that will be the title of your story). 

• You can then write some sentences describing what it is like there (you could use your writing from activity 1, if you'd like). 

• Introduce a new character who lives in the land and explain what they do there. Are they kind or mean? 

Remember to write in full sentences with capital letters and full stops at the end of your sentences. 

    

Maths:  

89	111	76	34
142	100	45	87
133	28	62	11

 

MOS:  

• Choose 4 numbers from the grid. 

• Put them in order from the smallest to the largest. 

• Find a number in between each of these numbers.  

    

Task: Today we will continue recapping our learning of subtracting using the column method.  

Your steps to success:   

• Put your calculation into the correct columns – make sure the whole number is on top!  

• Take away the ones and write the answer underneath in the column.   

• Take away the tens and write the answer underneath in the column.   

•  

Have a go at agreeing or disagreeing with our answers, can you work out where we may have gone wrong? 

I think… 

(Without going into the next ten)    
123 – 12 = 111              89 – 36 = 73            167 – 123 = 144            48 – 12 = 36 

(Going into a 10) 

73 – 25 = 47               92 – 36 = 86                 64 – 27 = 37              134 – 25 = 109

This is another fantastic lesson from BBC Bitesize. We will be learning about the four countries of the UK and their capital cities. 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z42pnrd 

First we would like you to watch the video about Freya’s Uncle Bob and see where he has been! 

 

In the UK, in the Northern Hemisphere, we are very familiar with the four seasons. 

Spring is the start of the year. It is when the temperature increases and things start to grow again after the cold days of winter. 

After spring comes summer. This is usually the warmest season. It is when crops grow and we expect the sunniest weather. 

Then comes autumn and the temperature starts to cool down again. 

Winter is the coldest, darkest time of the year. 

Loch Ness is a very long and deep, natural water-feature in Scotland. It's famous for being the home of the imagined monster, Nessie. 

Watch the Go Jetters Funky Facts animation to find out more. (On website – follow the link above) 

The Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland, attracts thousands of visitors each year as people want to go and see the amazing hexagonal shaped rocks that stretch into the sea. 

Watch the Go Jetters Funky Facts animation to find out more. (On website – follow the link above) 

There is also a fantastic slideshow to see photos of the capital cities of Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, and England! 

World words 

These are some words we use to describe the landscape and waters around us. 

• Cliff - a high area of rocky land with a very steep side. 

• House - a building where people live. 

• Lake or Loch - an area of water surrounded by land. 

• Village - a small group of houses usually found in or near the countryside. 

• Weather - how wet, windy, hot, cloudy or sunny it is. 

Activity 1: There are lots of fun ways to practise map-reading skills. 

Here are a few you could try online at the bottom part of the link (Practise) https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z42pnrd 

Name the country 

Label each country on this map of the UK - see sheet attached.

Activity 2: 

Play Pirate Bunnies: World Adventures 

Are you ready for an adventure? Hop on Captain Carrot’s ship and explore the UK and the rest of the world with the Pirate Bunnies! You can earn treasure by completing quests. 

(If you cannot access these actvitys online, I have attached a sheet incase!)  

Helping at home challenge : Today we would love for you to help clear up from breakfast, lunch or dinner. This could be clearing the table, washing up or drying up! 

 We hope you have a great day!

Fact of the day:  Cashew nuts grow on a Cashew apple! 

Morning Journal:  Something a little different today. I saw this on Facebook and thought this was great! You know how much Miss Keam and I love Disney! 

 Feelings: Miss Davey is feeling on green today. I made a chocolate cornflake cakes last night with some Easter chocolate so I am looking forward to one with a cup of tea a little later on!  

 Guided Reading:   

For the rest of this week we will be looking at ‘The Magic Faraway Tree’ If you have not read it before, what do you think it will be about? If you have read it before, what was your favourite part and why? 

  English:  

Today we are going to look at question marks in our writing!  

This lesson is from BBC Bitesize, they have some fantastic resources to help you!  

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z7b72sg 

• First watch the short video clip on questions marks.  

• Activity 1: The Magic Faraway Tree  

We are going to watch a clip about 'The Magic Faraway Tree'. In the story there are four children called Joe, Beth, Franny and Rick. They love going to the Magic Faraway Tree because they always have so much fun there. 

Write a question for each of the four children asking them something about the tree. You can do this verbally or you can write it down. 

Use words like: what, did, does, have and where to start your questions. Don't forget your question marks. (?) 

• Activity 2: Writing a diary 

What can you remember about The Magic Faraway Tree? Imagine you have been on an adventure there and you want to write a diary entry about it. 

You can watch the video again and make some notes about the things you want to include in your diary. 

Your diary entry will need to include: 

• a greeting like 'Dear Diary' or 'To Diary' 

• a description of the tree (what it looked like, how it felt to be there) 

• who you met (what were their names and what did they look like) 

• what questions you asked whilst there (remember to include question marks) 

• information about what you did and how you felt 

• a closing like 'Got to go now' or 'time for me to go' 

Have fun!   

Maths: Today we will be subtracting using the column method.  

MOS: Count how many steps it takes you to get from one place to another in your house! I have just walked from my front door to my kitchen and it took me 17, I thought it would be less! I then walked to my bedroom which took 13 (so far I am on 30 steps!) 

 Task: Today we will be recapping our learning of subtracting using the column method. Today we will be going into the tens. 

Your steps to success:  

• Put your calculation into the correct columns – make sure the whole number is on top!  

• Take away the ones and write the answer underneath in the column.  

• Take away the tens and write the answer underneath in the column.  

 

 

Have a try with these calculations :)

Without going into the tens…	With going into the next tens…
67 – 23 =  89 – 34 =  63 – 21 =  54 – 33 =  99 – 26 =	73 – 25 =  84 – 36 =  91 – 34 =  62 – 45 =  56 – 39 =

 

Music: For Music today, we would love for you to have a go at signing ‘Somewhere over the rainbow’. Myself and Miss Keam loved learning ‘You are my sunshine’ we hope you did too 😊 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffnq0FphCUI

Fact of the day:  Ostriches can run faster than horses, and male ostriches can roar like lions.  

Morning Journal:  What has been your favourite thing you have done during your time at home and why?  

My favourite thing I have done, whilst I have been at home,  is walking along the quiet seafront and clapping every Thursday for all the heroes out there keeping us safe!  

Feelings: Miss Davey is feeling on green today. I made a chocolate cornflake cakes last night with some Easter chocolate so I am looking forward to one with a cup of tea a little later on! 

Guided Reading:  Apollo was also a Greek god of poetry. Let’s do some poetry activities together! Start by sharing this poem with someone at home. OR you can listen to Kit reading his poem by putting this address into the internet: 

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

We would like you talk about the poem and write your ideas down.  

English: Writing your own Magic Box poem!  

This box is magic, which means you can put anything in it! 

Start by writing a list of your favourite things, people or places.  

Now, using Kit Wright’s starter line, ‘I will put in my box,’ organise your nine ideas into three verses. 

My box is fashioned from ice and gold and steel,  

with stars on the lid and secrets in the corners. 

 Its hinges are the toe joints of dinosaurs. 

Think about:  

• What is your box made of? Kit Wright’s is made of ice and gold and steel.  

• What is on or in your box? Kit Wright’s has stars on the lid and secrets in the corners.  

• What else can you add? Kit Wright has added that its hinges are the toe joints of dinosaurs. Use your imagination. You can choose anything you like! 

Now it’s time to write the final verse of your magic-box poem. 

Have fun! 

Maths: Today we will be subtracting using the column method. 

MOS: What numbers can you find around the house? What is the biggest number you can find? The biggest number I found was 21, take a look!  

Task: Today we will be recapping our learning of subtracting using the column method. Today we won’t be going into the tens, we will do that tomorrow 😊 

Your steps to success: 

• Put your calculation into the correct columns – make sure the whole number is on top! 

• Take away the ones and write the answer underneath in the column. 

• Take away the tens and write the answer underneath in the column. 

Let’s play strike it out! Use the column method for subtraction to help you! Can you work out which is the extra answer?! 

45 – 22 =               56 – 34 =                 87 – 23 =                  99 – 31 =                56 – 21 =

35                       68                 44                      64                23                    22

  

PE: We would like you to do a bit of dancing today! Remember to do a little warm up before, like jogging on the spot to warm those muscles up!  

https://youtu.be/eughyYPoExk 

Helping at home challenge : Today we would love for you to do some hoovering (Miss Keam’s favourite job!) I like to sing whilst hoovering. Have a go! 

We hope you have a great day!

Monday 20th April:  

Morning Team Sky and Team Ocean! We are missing you lots today!   

Playlist:  https://youtu.be/pIgZ7gMze7A  

Wham! Were an English pop music duo consisting of George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley, formed in Bushey in 1981.They became one of the most commercially successful pop acts of the 1980s, selling more than 30 million certified records worldwide from 1982 to 1986. 

Fact of the day:  The tallest man in this world was Robert Wadlow, who was 8’11” tall! (WOW!) 

Morning Journal:  What is your favourite film and why? I love Frozen – because it reminds me how much love I have for my sister.  

Feelings: Miss Keam is feeling calm today and ready for a new week! During the day I sometimes feel sad (On Blue) because I miss year 2 so much! But I am happy we are all still healthy and safe. How do you all feel today? 

Guided Reading: Can you answer these questions based on the story ‘The Myth of Pandora’s Box’? Remember to read back through the story to help you!  

▪ How did Pandora change the world forever?  

▪ When is the story set?  

▪ Who was in charge of the Ancient Greeks?  

▪ What kind of character was Pandora?  

▪ Who was Prometheus?  

▪ What is the evil that comes out of the box compared to?  

▪ Why do you think hope is a butterfly in the story?  

▪ Do you like the ending of the story? Explain your answer. 

English:   

The title of this myth has a special punctuation mark in it, called an apostrophe. Can you find the apostrophe? 

Pandora’s box 

An apostrophe looks like this  and it is used to show that something belongs to someone. Pandora’s box = the box belonging to Pandora. 

We would like you to read these examples and then write your own examples. Don’t forget the apostrophes!  

Challenge: When you have finished your examples, we would like you to write a short alternative version of Pandora’s box. It could be called ‘Amber’s box’ and inside it could be full of bright and beautiful rainbows, that spread happiness, kindness and love throughout the world. Use your imagination! What would be in your box?  

Maths: Today we will be looking at subtracting on an empty number line! 

MOS: Play I am thinking of a number! Remember ask questions like ‘How many tens does the number have?’, ‘is it an odd or even number?’, ‘is it in the 10 times table?’  

Task: Today we will be recapping our learning of subtracting on an empty number line. Your steps to success are: 

 

• Partition your smallest part into tens and ones 

• Draw your empty number line 

• Write your biggest part on the right hand side 

• Jump back your tens, label your answers 

• Jump back your ones, label your answers 

• Write the answer in the calculation. 

 

Values: Good to be me! 

We know how important it is to be unique and how amazing each and every one of you are! 

We would like you to create a self-portrait of yourself and within your picture/drawing we would like you to include all the amazing things about yourself. It could look like this, it’s completely up to you! 

 Helping at home challenge  

Today we would love for you to help with the dusting! Remember things can be very fragile, so you will need to be gentle and watch carefully at what the grown-ups do!  

We hope you have a lovely day!  

Lots of love  

Miss Davey and Miss Keam
