| Maths |
This week in Maths we are learning to count in twos! The clip below takes you to Scratch Garden on You Tube – Counting by Twos.
What do you notice when you count in twos? How many jumps do you do each time?
Lots of things around your house are in twos…..a pair of socks is 2 socks for example. What else can you find? Can you make a twos poster?
I know that one of our favourite things to do in Maths lessons was to see how far we could count to. I wonder if you can get to 100 by counting in twos? Start at the top of the page and see how far you can get. Ask a grown up or older brother or sister to check your journey to 50. I wonder if counting by twos to 100 would get the dog in Scratch Garden to the moon? Here is how to start 2 4 6 8 10 12 ……… how high can you go?
The number line below has some missing numbers. Can you work out which ones are missing?

| Topic | What are the different parts of a plant?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zpxnyrd/articles/z3wpsbk
Watch this video and find out about the different parts of the plants and why they are important.
Now draw a plant of your own. Maybe you could find out in your garden or house. Then label the parts of the plant that you see. For each part of the plant write a short explanation of what this part does and why it is important for the plant.
Challenge: Take the quiz in the link above and see how many questions you can get right!

Physical Challenge:
(Spelling)
Look at the picture bellow. Each letter of the alphabet is a different action for you to do. Try spelling your name, the days of the week, the months of the year, tricky words or even try spelling your teachers’ name! What’s the longest word you can spell?
After you have spelt a few different words notice how you feel. How does your body feel? Put your hand on your heart, what is happening? Take some deep and slow breaths for a few minutes. Notice what has happened to your body and heart now. What is different?
Remember it is important to keep moving and get your heart beating fast to keep your body healthy and strong. |
Art: Drawing a butterfly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIAiglTFgLk Watch this video on YouTube to learn how to draw a butterfly. Listen carefully to the instructions that they give. Remember if you go wrong or you are not happy with your drawing don’t give up. You can always try again. Practice makes perfect!
Remember when we drew rabbits together at school? Use some of the different patterns and shapes to give your butterfly different textures. Think about how your butterfly might feel. When colouring in the butterfly remember to use real colours of a butterfly. Maybe look at the picture bellow. These are all butterflies to be looking out for at this time of year in England. |
