Maths

Comparing Lengths and Heights

Starter:

Play Duck Shoot. Choose ‘5’ to practise counting in 5s. Count on in 5s from the number by the first duck, and select the right duck that matches the target number at the back.

Questions

You practised comparing lengths and heights a lot yesterday. I saw some great objects used for comparison! Warm-up by completing today’s interactive activity. Please note it only looks at longer/ shorter/ equal, and not taller.

Then, please complete today’s question sheet.

Bonus Challenge

It’s a juicy maths challenge today! It’s quite a puzzle. My top tip would be to write out the children’s names on different small pieces of paper, or post-its.  Then read each child’s piece of information in turn. Explain your thinking out loud, and use what they tell you to order the children.

Good luck! Please feedback how you found this, and whether you needed help.

1 hour

Please send me a picture of your worksheet. I’ll also be able to see your answers on CSK.

English

English – Using the suffixes ‘er’ and ‘est’

First of all, please listen to today’s book.

Then, watch today’s video for an explanation of how we change adjectives when we compare things.  Complete the spoken and written activities.

For the last one, make sure you draw a big picture to show your idea. The sentence stem I give you to use is:

The ______ thing is the world is a _______________.

I can’t wait to see your ideas!

Bonus Challenge

Could you add a second sentence, and use it to show off some of the conjunctions you know, such as ‘and, but, because, so’. For example:

‘The cow wears the crown because she thinks she is the queen of all cows, but really she is just a normal cow.’

Parent note:

Spelling rules such as changing a y into an i when adding the suffix (e.g. smelly – smellier -  smelliest) are in the Year 2 curriculum, but you may encounter this when your child thinks of some examples. In Year 1 we focus on examples where the root work doesn’t change, for example, high – higher – highest.

1 hour

Please send me a picture of your ‘Things that are most in the world’

Reading

Phonics: u alternative pronunciation

Watch today’s video to hear about the different ways the letter ‘u’ can be pronounced. Sadly, there’s no rule for this one. Instead, you just have to try the way you know, then try the other way if it doesn’t make sense.

Your task

1) Play Cheeky Chimps, to practise both ways of sounding out ‘u’.

2) Paperchains

Print today’s words, or ask a grown-up to print out. Read them, and sort them into two groups. Then create two paperchains, one for each way of pronouncing u. Think about which way of reading ‘u’ is more common. I wonder which chain will be longer, and why?

30 mins

You could send  a picture of your paper chains.

Comparing Lengths and Heights

Starter: Alien Addition

Practise your addition skills with a game of Alien Addition. To begin with, set the range at 0-5, and game speed as slow. Fire at the question that matches the answer on the laser! You can always change this if you need something harder.

Input

We are on to a new block of learning. Watch Katie’s video, then complete this Interactive Activity to practise your comparing.

Practical

Following what you saw in the video, find some objects to compare at home. Make sure you line them up so you can compare from the same starting point.

Using full sentences, such as: ‘The pen is shorter than the book’, please use the following words to compare them: longer, shorter, taller, shorter.

Then, can you compare three things, and use the words ‘tallest’ and ‘shortest’.  Watch today’s story time for examples of these kind of sentences.

Bonus Challenge: Can you find…

At home, can you find…

• The shortest person in your family?
• The person with the longest feet?
• An object that is longer than your thumb, but shorter than your foot?
• An object that is taller than your chair, but shorter than your front door?
• An object that is longer than a pencil, but shorter than a shoe?
• An object that is taller than you but shorter than a grown-up you live with.
• Can you find any other objects, and describe them using two comparing words?

1 hour

It’d be great to see what you found for the bonus challenge.

Reading

Phonics: c alternative pronunciation

Watch today’s video to hear about the different ways the letter ‘c’ can be pronounced.

(The golden rule is:

If the letter after the c is a e, i or y, the ‘c’ is read as a ‘s’.)

Your task: Pick a Pair

Print (or ask a grown-up to write out) today’s list of words, and play ‘pick a pair’, as explained in the video.

Bonus Challenge:

This alternative pronunciation is found in a lot of names, including a couple in our class! Can you think of any names were ‘c’ is read as an ‘s’?

Starter: Counting Down from 100!

We need to keep practising counting as well. Today let’s start the half-term with a big one: counting down from 100! The hardest bits are going across tens boundaries, such as 80 to 79. Can you get them all right?

Input

Work through today’s lesson slides: focus on the language we use to describe more and less. ‘Fewer’ and ‘fewest’ can sometimes catch us out!

Compare objects within 50.

Once again, this area should be familiar to you, but we are now working with greater numbers. It’s time for the greedy alligators again!

We revisit the same areas after a short period of time to help you to really get secure and confident in your learning.

Starter:

Let’s give our number bond brains a workout. Let’s play Number Lines Addition again. Set your ‘target number’ as 10 or 20 depending on which number bonds you are working on. If you even find 20 easy, try choosing different numbers within 20: that’s quite a challenge!

Input

Watch today’s video tutorial with Katie. It will help to make or use some practical resources to represent 10s and 1s, like you have previously.

Reasoning Activity

To practise this skill, have a go at this reasoning activity. Aim to ‘be the teacher’ and explain out loud why you think you are right. If can help to use the words ‘I think____ because____’ to help you to explain what you mean. For each question, it’s useful to count what each representation is worth as a first step. ‘Count them’ as we all chant in class!

Game – for two players

Use the attached sheet. If you can, please print them, cut them out and place them face down. Each player picks a card. Decide who has got the greater number, and say this out loud. for example: ‘The straws are worth 36, which is greater than the base 10, which is worth 24. The person with the greater number wins. Record each comparison sentence on the score sheet.

If you are unable to print, you could each pick one on your screen, and say your comparison sentence out loud.  Good luck!

Text Map – Rehearsal

Today, we are going to rehearse, and then write a small part of our blue whale fact-file. I’ve clipped yesterday’s video, so you can practise rehearsing the text map with Mr Lynn first. Remember to use your actions to help you. Some of you sent in some amazing performances yesterday! Rehearsing orally is really useful, and will support you in all your writing.

Writing

We will not be writing down all of this fact-file, but I’d like you to practise using a text map to support your writing. Choose one section to write:

• Use your actions, say your sentence out loud lots of times so you are really familiar with it, then have a go at writing. Use pencil if possible to help you to keep it neat.
• Use the attached word mat to help you, but please try to sound out and remember the sentence yourself: don’t ask your grown-ups how to spell every word!

Tomorrow, we will learn about a different Antarctic animal, and see how to adapt a text map, whilst keeping the same structure.
