Houses and Households

 

Happy new year and welcome to Spring Term. Our topic this half is 'Houses and Households'. Our area of learning this term is Humanites. Please find attached the parent overview for this term and the homework.

Welcome to the second half of the Autumn Term. We have lots of lovely things planned to do with the children as we lead up to Christmas. This term we are studying a theme called Colour and Light. We will be finding out all about different famous artists and looking at their different styles of work. Below you can see the overview of things we are hoping to cover and the homework we would like you to complete over the next six weeks.

Week Beginning 12th April

Hello everyone. Welcome back. This half term our theme is Carnivals. We will be taking a trip around the world exploring different countries , cultures and celebrations. This week the children are busy making passports and boarding passes ready for taking a virtual aeroplane ride with our special pilot Captain Garcia. I will be posting the plan for each week on here. Below is attached the half term plan for this theme.

Week Beginning March1

Week Beginning 22nd February

 

Hello everyone.

Please find below a topic overview showing what we plan to do over the next five weeks.

I have also attached a weekly overview showing the things the children will be working on in class this week.

Week Beginning February 8th

Hello everyone. We have almost reached half term and what a busy half term it has been. Thank you for all the work you have done with your children. They have done so well. This week as promised I will not be setting lots of new things. I know many of you have things from the zoo visit you want to do and some are still working on money. I have decided to upload a few more money activities, this time working on giving change from different amounts. I will also upload all the usual RWI work onto Seesaw along with the videos. As a school we have also signed up for the Cardiff City Home learning package which is a day to day set of fun activities to do with sport and well being. These will also be uploaded directly onto Seesaw each day. Please take part in them if you wish to do so.

Many Thanks

Mrs Morgan

Week Beginning Monday 1st February

This week we are continuing with the animal topic but we are looking more at the topic of zoos. On Tuesday we have a special treat for everyone in the Foundation Phase as all the teachers have made videos and planned out a special day – a virtual zoo trip to Chester Zoo. Activities are planned throughout the day on Tuesday to run alongside the virtual visit. Most of the work for next week will be based on zoos and animals.

Literacy

1) RWI  I will upload the usual Read Write Inc video and related group activities directly to Seesaw. Please watch and re-watch the videos so the children are really confident in the sounds they are working on.

2) Dear Zoo by Rod Campbell

 Please watch this story on You Tube or on Seesaw. Think about the different animals the person asks for as a pet. Can you think of four more animals, draw each one and give a reason why you would send it back. There is a sheet in the resources below.

e.g.    I sent for a rhino but it was too sharp so I sent him back.

3)Animal alliteration – Complete the animal alliteration alphabet. Both letters must be the same. Explain to the children that when we use a same sounding letter before the animal it is called alliteration. i.e.  angry alligator, meddling monkey, busy butterfly.  A sheet to complete is in the resources below. If you are unable to print, please just make a list on paper.

4) Would you like to have a job as a zoo keeper? What sorts of things would you need to be able to do? Use the application in the resources attached to apply to be a zoo keeper. Tell them how good you are with animals, how you know what food they need, you don’t mind cleaning up after them, and how much you know about the different animals. If you would like to apply for a keepers  job for a particular animal please say that. You may really love snakes, or big cats! Tell them how hard you would work. There is an outline in the resources but again this can also be written on paper.

Maths - Money

This week I would like us to have a change and look at money. I will save a variety of maths sheets in the resources. I will number them for you. They will become harder as you go along. I would rather start at the very beginning and the children find it easy and work up.  Coin recognition and making amounts will be first before moving on the giving change. There will also be some activities on Seesaw on money. The Topmarks maths website also has games for the children to play to help them recognise coins and make amounts. 

Topic

Following our virtual zoo trip I would like the children:-

  1.  Draw, paint or collage their favourite animals.
  2.   Make an animal mask or an animal puppet.
  3. Design your own zoo. Label the different areas of the zoo. Where will the different animals be. Shop, café etc?
  4. Make a model of their favourite animal from the day.

 I will upload onto Seesaw some ideas I have seen which you might like to have a go at. I will also include in the resources some animal colouring sheets and cutting and sticking activities.

As always try to do as much as you can but you can choose the order you do things in and you do not have to do all the different craft activities. There is a variety of additional zoo related activities such as a zoo graph, zoo listening activity in the resources below if you wish to do these.

Week Beginning 25th January

Hello everyone. This week we will be doing lots of activities about recycling. In the book the Tin Forest the old man makes animals out of the rubbish he finds in the dump. Last week I asked you to make an animal out of junk materials. If you havent made one yet, have a go this week. 

Literacy

We are still working on The Tin Forest. Please read the story or watch it on You Tube. Last week I also recorded the story for you. This week I would like you to write a description of the luscious, green forest. I have included a sheet below to give you some pointers to think about. Use the writing checklist to help you.

Think about all of the pictures in the book. Which two are your favourite? Complete the sheet attached using adventurous vocabulary.

I will be sending RWI videos to each group with their weekly work.

 

Environmental work

Id like you to design a poster to try to encourage people to recycle their rubbish more. There is a sheet in the resources to help you and a powerpoint about recycling which may give you some ideas.

Look at recycling scavenger hunt activity sheet. Look at things in your cupboards to try to find these symbols.

Use the pictogram sheet to record the different types of recycling things you can find.

 

My recycling box is a boring black plastic box. How could I make it look nice? Design me a new recycling box.

We also need a new waste paper recycling box for our classroom. Please can you draw me a design for a new one.

Collect your recycling for one week. How many cans, plastic bottles, glass items did you recycle? Make a simple graph of your results.

There is a lovely BBC Bitesize page on Recycling for Foundation Phase children. It is called What should I do with my rubbish? There is a little video to watch and a sorting game to play. 

 

Mathematics

This week we will continue working on time. Lots of you were really good at o clock and half past. I would like you to have a go at quarter to and quarter past, again using the hands of the clock. I have attached resources to help you on this, consolidating last weeks work and including this weeks. Some children may need to keep going over the o clock and half past, some may be ready to move to digital time. Please go at your child's pace and let me know on Seesaw  what you need.

 

There is a colour by numbers sheet in the resources below on recycling.

 

 

WB 18th January The Tin Forest

Hello everyone.. This week we are working from one of my favourite books called The Tin Forest by Helen Ward and Wayne Anderson. I have recorded the story for you in video form but  you can read it also on You Tube and watch an animated version of the story where you can see each picture more closely. This is a lovely book with beautiful pictures which I'm sure you will enjoy.

Literacy - The Tin Forest

Read the story aloud and enjoy the pictures together. Talk about the story and what happens. Talk about the dfferent mechanical animals in the story. Compare the illustrations with the living forest at the end of the book.

 

 Task 1

Once you have read the story and watched the animation I would like you to think about the character of the Old Man in the story. How  do you think he feels at the start of the story? Is he sad, lonely? Why do you think so? What does he do at the dump? What does he dream of?   How does his feelings change as the forest grows? You can  use the sheet titled Character study in the resources to record this piece of writing or if you prefer draw the Old Man on a sheet of paper and record your answers below it.

Task 2

Use the word mat in the resources  to write a description of the Tin Forest at the very end of the story when it is full of life and colour. Try to use as many of the words on the word mat as you can to make your writing powerful.

 

Geogaphy / Environmental work  - What is a rainforest?

 Look at places on the planet where we have rainforests. Use the sheet attached or just use a map of the world to talk about where they are. Use atlases or an Ipad to find out where they are and the continent they are in. Maybe some of the children would like to draw or paint a big rainforest picture with lots of different animals in.

Complete the cut and stick rainforest layers sheet

Complete the rainforest animals sorting sheet

If you are unable to print these off ask the children to draw a rainforest and write in the layers and draw boxes for the animal sorting activity and write the names of the animals in the box.

 

 

 Art/ Creative work

Paint , draw or collage rainforest animals or make model animals of the animals in the Tin Forest using some junk materials. I don't mind what you use to make your animal. Take a photo and send it to me. Write a description about it. There are some rainforest animal colouring sheets in the resources below

 

Mathematics

This week I would like to start on time.

In year 2 we use both analogue and digital clocks but this week I would just like to revise using an analogue clock, showing the hands. I would like them to watch the powerpoint on o clock which is in the resources below. Then complete the work on o clock. I have put a clock face in the resources below which you could cut out and stick onto a paper plate and use as a clock to help the children if they need it. Some will be on Seesaw but some are included below. Next watch the powerpoint showing half past which is in the resources below, then complete the seesaw pages where you can listen to the song and say the times and then draw the hands on the clocks. I will also upload some extra sheets on both o clock and half past the hour. Next week we will move onto quarter to and quarter past so if the children can see how they need to count in fives around the clock, that would be great.

 

RWI

I know lots of you have been using the Ruth Miskin You Tube to do RWI and I' m pleased with this. I have now recorded RWI videos and will upload them onto Seesaw  These and the related work fro the sounds will be sent direct to the children's seesaw pages as they are in different groups.

 

 

Winter term week 2

Hello everyone this week we are going to be taking part in the RSPB bird survey and finding out all about the different birds which come to our country and into our gardens.

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Class 4. We hope your children have enjoyed their first two weeks in school. We will be giving out reading books on Friday. Please comment on how they read on the Seesaw app. We are not sending Learning Log books home this term. In stead we are setting a number of activities for the children to complete at home. Please photograph their work and email on this account. Below are a  set of six activities. Choose one a week to complete.

Many Thanks

Mrs Morgan

Hello everyone. It has been lovely seeing so many of you this week and catching up on all the things you have been doing. We've had some fun in class and played a lot outside. We have lots of lovely things planned for next week too. Mr Garcia has put two huge pots on our outside area and I will be bringing plants in for us to plant them up. We will also be working in the gardens outside. As you have guessed this week our mini theme is flowers and plants. In class we will be doing observational drawings of flowers and learning the different parts of the flower. At home maybe you can plant some seeds in a pot and learn how to care for them as they grow. Talk about what plants need to grow.

 Can you also paint or draw some flowers too. Van Goch has a famous painting called 'Sunflowers' which you can see in the resources below to draw in the style of. Maybe you could make a cutting and sticking picture of your favourite flowers. You can decide. 

In English we are learning how to write instructions. Write a set of instructions for planting seeds or making a piece of toast. Pretend you are telling an alien how to do these things and your instructions will have to be simple and clear. Resources are attached for all of these below. In the resources the instructions are jumbled up. Try to put them in the correct order. Choose one to do.

We will carry on investigating capacity in class. We had lots of fun using the measuring jugs etc and playing in the soapy water. More of this for this week. We will also be learning how to read the scales on the jugs. Some worksheets are in the resources to do this. Keep looking for items at home such as pop, shampoo, sauce and milk and reading how many ml and L these are.

If you have a garden please can you take some photos of the lovely plants in it and send them to me. Can you find out the names of the flowers and plants you have? Use the plant scavenger hunt sheet in the resources to play a game spotting the different plants in your garden or in your local park.  Maybe you can use the petals off the flowers and leaves to make a picture outdoors like Andy Goldsworthy does. See his art work in the resources below. Don't forget to take a picture ands email it to me.

Hello everyone. Im really looking forward to seeing so many of you back in school this weel. We have lots of lovely things planned to do. This week we are finding out about the lifecycle of the frog. We will be sorting the lifecycle and drawing it out and labelling. We will also be making some collage pictures of the lifecycle to help us remember it. In the resources below is the powerpoint we will be using and a set of display photographs to draw from. There is also a cutting and sticking lifecycle activity to do.

 

In literacy I would like you to imagine that you are a tadpole and keep a diary of how you change into a frog. Imagine how strange it would be one to wake up with a tail getting smaller and starting to grow legs

 

In maths this week we will be investigating capacity. In the resources below there is  a powerpoint to watch which should remind you about things from last year. Please watch this first. We will be measuring in litres and millilitres and reading scales. At home look at the different liquids you have - squash, pop, bubblebath etc. See how many litres and millitlitres they have in them. Using the sheets investigate practically how much different containers hold.  Play in the washing up bowl with the measuring jugs and learn how to read 100ml  200ml etc right up to 1000ml which is a litre. We will be doing very similar activities using measuring jugs in class.

 

In art I would like you to look at the dot paintings made by Aboriginal people many hundreds of years ago. These are made up of patterns using different coloured dots of paint and are amazing. There are lots of examples on line of this type of artwork. Please can you draw and decorate a dot painting frog for me. There is also an idea for making a model frog out of a toilet roll in the resources below.

I have uploaded some new to do activities on Purple Mash. I would like you to create a frog on  a lily pad picture using the art package.. I also have uploaded a new story to read and answer questions about.

 

 

Good morning Class 4. This week I would like you to get outside, enjoy the lovely sunshine and go on minibeast hunts.  How many mini beasts can you find in your garden? Make a tally of how many you can find over ten minutes either in your garden or the park.  Make a graph of your findings. How many spiders? How many slugs? Draw some of the mini beasts you find. Use an IPad or a phone to take photos and identify them. Choose one minibeast to write a fact file about. 
Choose a minibeast to create an acrostic poem about. Spider slug ant butterfly ... you decide. Use lots of adjectives to describe the bug in your poem. 
I would like you to create your own imaginary minibeast for art. Maybe spiders legs, a bees body, butterfly wings etc. You could make of model of this creature out of junk. 

Think about butterflies and their life cycle. Read the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar to help you. An animated version can be seen on You Tube.Draw the lifecycle of a butterfly and label it. 
There are some new things on Purple Mash all about mini beasts.  

Hello everyone. This week we are continuing the work on the book The Tin Forest. I hope you enjoyed reading the book and watching it on You Tube last week.

Literacy

This week I would like you to look at the colourful forest at the end of the story and write a lovely description of it. Talk about the colours and animals. Think about what the animals are doing. Where are they hiding? Draw a picture of the colourful Tin Forest when you have finished your writing.

Choose one of the animals in the picture eg tiger and write an acrostic poem about that animal. Illustrate your poem.

Choose one of the animals in the story and make a fact file about it. Research where it lives, what it eats etc. Draw maps, picturs of the animals, its young etc  Maybe you could do this as  a poster or a leaflet. Watch the animal fact file powerpoint before you start to help you. This is in the attached resources.

Mathematics

Continue with your work on division. There is a snap game in the resources and some worksheets on division.

Art

Can you design a new rainforest animal. It could have parts of different animals. What colours would it be? What would it eat? Where would it live?

Recycling

As the Tin Forest is about a man who makes things out of rubbish I would like you to make an animal from rubbish which would normally go in your recycling bin. Take a picture of your model and email it to me.

Hello everyone. I hope you are enjoying our theme All About Me. I saw some fabulous cardboard portraits this week. Keep sending them to me on email or Twitter.  I love seeing your work. This week I’d like you to think about your family, and the different people who make up your family. You can paint them or draw them or make cardboard faces like last week of one of your family members. Have fun making a family tree. A sheet to help you and a PowerPoint is in this week’s resources. There is a booklet all about the family available.  You can do some or all of these sheets. Pick the ones you want to do. On Purple Mash you can create a card and an invitation for a family member ie birthday card, or birthday party invitation.

  As part of personal and social work I would like you to think about how amazing you are and how you should be kind to yourself. Sheets to help are in the resources but you can draw these out if you can’t or don’t want to print. In maths I would like you to learn the  2, 5 and 10 times table. There are fun songs on You Tube to help and some activities in the resources. There will be activities on Purple Mash and some games to help you learn your tables.

I would like you to think about what job you would like to do when you are grown up. Write about the job you have chosen. You can make a poster about the job or collect together information, pictures etc to make a fact file on paper or on the computer. 

In science I would like you to focus on sound. I have put some games and activities on Purple Mash for this.

On Purple Mash, as usual, I have a serial story and activities and some paint activities to do as well.

Do as many as you can and send pictures of  some of your lovely work on email for me to see.

I hope you all had a lovely Easter. I have planned out the next few weeks of work for the children. The theme is A Portrait of Me. A complete overview is attached but I will give weekly suggestions and resources to help you. I will also add some things on Purple Mash each week. Please don't feel you have to do everything. Do as much as is possible. Im not sure if everyone has access to a printer so some ides can just be copied out onto sheets.

 

Firstly ask the children to make a rainbow about themselves. either using the sheet in the resources or drawing their own.

Please can the children then look on the internet at portraits of people so they understand what we mean about a portrait being a head and shoulders picture. Then  use a mirror and draw themselves paying attention to the position of nose, eyes,mouth etc. They can use coloured pencils, paints or felt pens to complete their own self portait. Look at portaits of Picasso as they are very unusual. From this using scrap cardboard cut out a Picassso style face. Paint when all is dry. Look at the pictures in the resource bank for the idea. They will look great.

 

Written activity - children to write a description on themselves using lots of adjectives - we say two before the noun for example  long, blonde hair, big, wide eyes. If they want to they can also write in a similar way about their Picasso cardboard face.

 

Our senses - Talk to the children about the five senses. If you can go into the garden find an example of using each sense in the garden, if not,do this around the house. What can we see, hear, smell, touch and taste?Use the sheet to record onto or make your own if you arent able to print. There are two sheets and activities in the resources to help.

 

For mathematics play games using full turns and half  turns and quarter turns. What will I be facing if i turn...?

 

 

 

Well done everyone who has been on Purple Mash. I have seen your work. Some great scores on the quizzes.  I have added more activities today. Lots are based on Easter. There are some art activities and some writing ones too.  The second chapter of the story is also uploaded along with the activities. 
If you can get outside this week maybe you can collect some things from your garden such as different leaves and twigs and make a picture like we do in class. Take a photo and post it on Twitter or save it to your folder of work for me to see when we are back in school. Have lots of Easter fun. 


mrs 

I have seen lots of really lovely things on Twitter this week which would be really helpful to you and the children will love.  Take a look at the following websites 

worldofdavidwalliams.com.  David reads every day at 11 am one of his stories

 

themathsfactor.com.  This is free at the moment and has lots of great maths games and puzzles

 

audible. Has hundreds of children’s books to listen to free of charge 

 

 

literacyshedplus.com. Again lots of literacy based activities and stories 

 

 

 

This term we were going to be looking at inventions such as the telephone. Television, computers, washing machines etc. please help your children find out about who invented these things and when it happened. Ask them to draw me pictures of the first versions of the invention. Keep in a folder for me to see. Please can they also design a house for the future with all things they would like to have in to make  their lives easier clearly labeled. 
In maths this half term we were to learn how to tell time using analogue and digital forms. O’clock half past quarter to and quarter past the hour . Also halves and quarters of shapes in different things.  We also were going to learn the 2, 5 and 10 times table. I hope this helps everyone. Contact me on my webpage if you need anything
Keep safe all and we will all see each other soon.

Many Thanks

Mrs Morgan

Houses through the Ages Overview for parents

During this Spring half term Class 4 will continue to study Homes Through the Ages. We will be looking at Tudor homes, Victorian homes and modern houses. We will, in particular, be looking at inventions which have become common in every household such as TVs, telephones and washing machines and finding out about the people who invented them . We will be looking at how the homes changed over time when we visit St Ffagan's Museum in Cardiff. We will also be looking at houses of the future, thinking about how we can be eco friendly and living a more sustainable lifestyle. The children can plan their homes for the future with this in mind. In science we will be doing lots of work on materials. We will look at what houses are made of and how suitable the materials are for the purpose ie waterproofing etc. Each Monday the children will have a visit from UpBeat Music to learn Samba drumming. The new homework task sheet will be found in their learning log book.  Many thanks for the fabulous projects including  Tudor houses last half term.

Welcome to Class 4!
