Hello, 

I hope you are all well and still smiling. You will be back in school very soon and we cannot wait for you to return. 

I have added some work below for you to keep you busy. It is the same we are doing in class so you will not miss anything. 

Keep safe, keep smiling.

Literacy 

Start the week by writing about your weekend.

What do you do?

Who with? etc. 

Then I would like you to think about Pirates-

(Do not research them just yet, I just want you to think about what you know). 

what do you know about pirates? 

Can you write a list of the things you already know about pirates?

e.g. hunt for treasure

       wear an eye patch

Can you turn your list into sentences? 

e.g. A pirate likes to  sail the seas to hunt for treasure. 

Now it is time for you to investigate. 

What can you find out about pirates? any new and interesting facts? 

Maths

In maths this week we are starting to look at time. 

We will be thinking about the days of the week. Can you sing the days of the week song to your grown up? 

Can you say which days come before or after days your grown up says. 

e.g. What day comes before Sunday? 

       What day comes after  Thursday? 

       What day comes before Wednesday?

       What day comes after Saturday? 

       What day comes before Monday?

We will then be looking at clock faces and finding out where the numbers go, what they are for and what the hands are for. 

We will be making our own paper clock faces. 

Later in the week we  will begin to look at reading and making o'clock times.

Knowledge and Understanding 

We have been talking lots about our rubbish and pollution.

Can you find out about how pollution effects the ocean and the animals that live in the ocean?

Can you make a poster to help people understand? 

Expressive Art and Design

We will be drawing and painting pirates

Have fun, Mrs Martin
