You could use this time to take a walk/bike ride as your daily exercise.  

9:30-10:00 

Phonics 

Your child should start their phonics session by watching a video which introduces a new sound. The video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7fbLgY2oA_cFCIg9GdxtQ?fbclid=IwAR2zPh6YahiI_fOxLD_ikMQES-EWj_l_6L8MYTCYYUYMBv-1DePkw5_7--E.  

If the link doesn't work try clicking on this link https://www.ruthmiskin.com/en/find-out-more/help-during-school-closure/ and then click on either the YouTube link or the Facebook link on the first line.  

The videos are only streamed at certain times of the day and are set depending. The times are:  

• Set 1 Speed Sounds at 9.30am  

• Set 2 Speed Sounds at 10.00am  

• Set 3 Speed Sounds at 10.30am  

(It may be better to do mental maths and problem solving first and come back to phonics, if your video is at a later time) 

In terms of the reading section of the phonics lesson, Oxford Owl are making all the phonics books available online as ebooks. Here is the link https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/reading-schemes-oxford-levels/read-write-inc-phonics-guide/  

Once you’ve clicked on the link then click on ebooks and then you need to register but it is completely free. Once registered you can then open all the ebooks and choose the correct banded level for your child.  

This means you do not need to look at the RWI books on the school website and we will not be adding any further books there.   

Guided reading:  

If your child is not in a phonics group and instead does guided reading, please find newly uploaded texts on the Butterflies home learning page here: https://www.sealprimary.com/page/?title=Home+Learning&pid=470, please find today’s timetable and the text will be there.  

10:00-10:15 

Mental maths  

Play this game using the ‘in between 1 to 50’ setting: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/learning-to-count/helicopter-rescue  

If 1 to 50 is too tricky, try 1 to 30.  

10:15 – 10:30 

Problem solving and reasoning  

Lo: to show my understanding of halving.  

10:30 – 11:00 

Breaktime/snacktime 

11:00 – 12:00 

English AYOC 

LO: to write a description of an observation. 

SC1: I can describe the features of a diary.  

SC2: I can write about an event in chronological order.  

SC3: I can use adjectives to describe what is happening.  

We have had a think about diary writing and what we need to include.  

Today we are going to write a description of what happens to plants as they grow, as this is what we will be doing for our plant diary when we plant our own plants.  

Here are some videos of plants growing: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w77zPAtVTuI - bean  

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMK-BKUYM0s - spinach  

Task 

Choose one of the videos to write about. What is happening to the plant? It would be great to use our adjectives (describing words) to help us explain what is happening.  

Write 5 sentences to describe what is happening to the plant throughout the video (you may need to pause the video to write what has happened, as they are quite fast). 

Challenge: can you stop the video halfway through and predict what will happen next?  

12:00- 1:15 

Lunch 

1:15-1:30 

Cursive handwriting practise 

1:30- 2:30 

Maths - weight and mass 

LO: to solve problems on weight and mass 

SC1: I can accurately state if an item is heavier or lighter. 

SC2: I can read scales. 

SC3: I can solve problems using weight.  

We have been looking at measurement. Let’s have another look at weight and mass. These are different ways of measuring how heavy or light something is.  

Fun fact – your weight can change if you are in space! Whereas mass always stays the same, no matter what planet you are on or where in the world/galaxy you are! 

We can use scales to measure weight and mass. What was the heaviest object you weighed yesterday? What was the lightest? 

Sometimes you can get scales that are used to compare weights. They look like this.  

If one side is lower than the other, it means that object is heavier. In the picture the oranges are heavier, as there are three oranges but only two apples. 

If they are at the same level, if they are balanced, they weigh the same amount. In the picture, the one apple and the one orange weigh the same. 

We can use these kinds of scales to judge how much something weighs with another object. In the picture below, we can see the brown box weighs the same amount as 4 bricks.  

See if you can solve some word problems using weight.  

Easier 

Medium – there are some harder questions, but please look at these first before you move to the harder one.  

You can finish here – or try these ones. 

Harder - challenge and extension 

2:30-2:50 

Research time  

We have been learning about plants … on Monday you made a mind map with questions you may have. Use this time to find out the answers. Ask an adult, use a computer or phone to use Google or even send an email to one of us to ask! 

Ideas to start your research: 

Why are bees important for flowers? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CxCTyxRFh0&t=74s 

Why are bees awesome? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9zZ48jJZyk 

What is pollination? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zy3r1zlC_IU
