Our fun learning this week…

PE

You can always do Real PE.
PE-Jasmine-
If you fancy taking part in some physical activities at home have a look at ‘Real PE’. The school uses these resources and now the company have offered parents an opportunity to try some of the activities at home during school closures.
It’s really simple:
Log into:
The website address is: home.jasmineactive.com
Parent email: parent@howardprim-1.com
Password: howardprim

Then choose which activity you would like the children to take part in. There are a variety of activities you can do throughout the day if you wish.
If you log onto facebook and join their closed group-you can then post photos of you and the family taking part in these activities. They have weekly competitions with winners announced on their facebook page. There are all sorts of different prizes so have a go!

Writing
We are learning to write instructions. Instructions are used while cooking (recipe), while constructing something ( furniture), while playing a game ( rules for Snake and ladders), giving directions to go somewhere ( map, SATNAV) or while doing something. While writing instructions you need
a title ( How to…)
List of what you need
Method ( How to do it) using a sequence of steps with bullet points/numbering.
You can use time conjunctions – first, next, then, after that, finally at the beginning of your sentence followed by a bossy verb ( imperative – eg. wash, turn, fold…)

Activity: Please write a simple instruction – How to brush your teeth or How to make a sandwich or how to make a birthday card or how to make cookies…
You can choose and post it on class dojo. Enjoy…

Maths
This week our focus is on place value. The first part is about partitionong numbers to tens and ones.
We are identifying 2 digit numbers and partitioning it for eg
12 = 1 ten and 2 ones
12 = 10 + 2

Science
We begin our learning by identifying plants and trees in the local environment.

Activity: You can draw and name some plants and trees you see maybe in your garden or outside when you go for a walk.
