OK, so dear little Grandma lives at the end of the path, does she? Well, I am sure there is a shortcut I can find. Oh, and I need to get rid of this silly straw hat!

I am so tired today. I hope I don’t get woken up by that wolf howling again. I have never heard a noise like it. How will I stay awake all day now?

Story: I am Peace

…and Emily Arrow’s song…

English

A fun game to help with blending for reading

These are called Chatterboxes or Cootie Catchers as they say here…

Children love to make a use these – with your help of course because they are a little tricky!

When you have followed them you can draw and write what you can see HERE…

or HERE!

Or you could play this game…

Maths

Doubling pairs game! (This is also great for your memory! You can be tactical!)

Using the dominoes you made yesterday, cut them in half. (Chat about this as we will be looking at halving next week – two equal parts.) If you didn’t make your dominoes with paper then make them now. Lots of practise is the key!

Place the cards face down at random and mix them up! Take it in turns with your child to take two cards and turn them over. If they are the same amount you can keep them but you must work out the double first! If they are different quantities then turn them back around.

The winner is the person with the most doubles by the end.

If you want another challenge and have a pack of cards use them!

This is a catchy doubling song! Your child will really need to know their doubles to sing it because there are no visual prompts.

Phase 5 – Yes / No Questions
 Tell your child that each strip contains a question.
 Do they know what a question is?
 Do they know what a question mark looks like?
 Tell them that each question can be answered correctly with ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
 After they have read each question ( with your help) ask them to decide whether the correct answer is 

 If they are incorrect, talk about the question. Are they clear about what it is asking?
 Cut the sentences into strips and practise each session in a random order. You could play it as a ‘turn taking’, ‘point scoring’ game.
 You could cut out the prompts above and ask your child to point to the answer to add a different dimension to the game.

Phase 5 – Yes / No Questions (write on strips)

or print and cut out…

Can you carry an elephant on your head?
Would you like to wave a magic wand?
Would you crawl into a thorn bush?

Maths

Make your own doubles grid like this one or print one out.

Roll a dice and double the number.

If you haven’t got a dice then you can make one like this . . .

A standard dice only goes to six but add higher numbers to make it much more challenging! Add 15 in there! Double 15 is 30 etc.

When you have doubled the number on the dice (you can do this by counting the dots twice/ getting objects/ remembering) then find the total on the board and place a counter on it. (You will need two sets of colour counters if you are playing against each other.)

The first person to get four counters in a row is the winner!

Tasks 5

Your child will know this song by Emily Arrow…

Maths

Some doubling word challenges to end the week and consolidate your knowledge!

Ask your child to read these first. Talk about how they could find out the answer. What clues are in the problems? What numbers do they give us? What is it that we need to find out?

A lady bird has 4 spots on one side and 4 on the other. How many spots are on the ladybird?

(We need to find out double 4. Shall we draw the ladybird to help us?)

Collect 9 sticks/ toys. If you had double amount, how many would you have?

(Double 9. We need to find out 9+9.)

Miss Hullin has 6 cakes. Miss Reese has double the amount Miss Hullin has! How many has Miss Reese got?

Draw 8 caterpillars on a leaf. Now 8 more slither on! How many caterpillars should you draw in total?

For another challenge play this online doubling game. Doubling Archery . . .

English

Can you write your own paragraph of the story?

Talk about where Pippety could visit first – it could be anywhere! A river, a rock, a tree, a bridge, a lamppost, a magical toadstool, a fast car . . .

Talk about who he might meet there – a tiny ant, a ferocious dragon, an ugly goblin . . .

Talk about what trick he might do to the character he meets – makes them jump by pulling an ugly face, traps them in a net, pours water onto them.

Now write your own paragraph.

Soon Pippetty came to ______________________ (place) where a ________________________ (character) was sitting. “Now for some fun!” giggled Pippetty and he ________________________(trick).

(You could then explain how the character reacted – just like in the style of the story.)

Remember to use interesting adjectives, ones like we learnt about yesterday!

Maths

Outdoors subtraction – target games!

Write lots of subtraction equations on small pieces of paper and stick them to a wall/ garage door outside.

Children throw a ball/ wet sponge/ shoot with a water gun and the wall, when they land on a subtraction equation they have to answer it using counters/ a number line/ counting backwards etc.

This is a floor version – if you have any chalk!

Play ‘Funky Mummy’ to apply your subtraction knowledge.

Paper Plate Games

Stepping Stones

The goal is to get from the start to the finish by using the paper plates as stepping stones.

Give each player 2 paper plates. Step on the paper plates. Pick one up and move it forward. Continue until you get to the finish line.

Project

3.Hearing

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zqf9wxs

We hear because sound waves travel through the air until they hit the ear drum. The sound waves vibrate the eardrum, which in turn, vibrates the bones of the middle ear. These vibrations are transferred to the cochlea, located in the inner ear. The cochlea translates those vibrations into stimuli that the ocular nerve can send to the brain.

It all starts with sound waves and the eardrum. To demonstrate how sound can actually be a physical force, you can do this simple experiment.

EARDRUM EXPERIMENT

You’ll need:

• plastic wrap
• 20 or so uncooked rice grains
• large bowl
• cookie sheet or metal baking pan

Stretch the plastic wrap over the bowl tightly. This is your eardrum. Place 20 or so rice grains on the tightened plastic wrap. Hold the pan or cookie sheet close to the blow, but not touching. Bang on the pan with your hand or large spoon making a loud noise. Watch the rice. It should jump each time you bang on the pan. The sound waves created should vibrate the plastic wrap making the rice move. Sound can be a physical force.
