Monday 6th July

Hello Class One,

This week our learning is around the story of The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet! We will have some activities themed around the story, dinosaurs and space!

There are some other The Dinosaur that Pooped books to read together. Why not read some more this week too! Which story is your favourite? Why? Which parts make you laugh? Why?

If you would like to try out some fun science experiments this week Tim Peake has launched some home learning activities for you to try out. Here is the full story https://www.borntoengineer.com/tim-peak-launches-stem-learnings-free-home-learning-support.

I hope you have a super week learning around the story and I can’t wait to see your amazing learning! Please send me a photo and a message about the things you have been learning and getting up to at home.

Parents remember to do what you can (2 hours throughout the day is plenty- this doesn’t need to be all in one go!) Continue to learn lots more through your own play too.

Watch the animated story of The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet here

Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5R24J0A-Cg Make predictions and talk about the main events, characters and setting as you watch it together. What would you do if you were bored? What would you take on the day out? How are they behaving at the museum? How should they behave? Did they mean to send the rocket off? Why did it happen? How can we stop the dinosaur? Why is Danny sad? How could they get home? What did you think of the story?

Literacy-

Nursery and Reception

Danny and Dinosaur were not ready for their space adventure and didn't take anything with them. What would you take with you on a space adventure? Why? Can you draw and write a list of the things you would take into space with you?

Nursery can you draw the things you would take with you? Can you label them with the initial sound or more sounds you can hear in the word? For example what sounds can you hear in teddy? Drink? Camera? Your parents can help you with some of the sounds and you can take it in turns to write some of the sounds in the words. Tell your parents all about what you would take with you. They can write down what you said or maybe you could have a go at writing some more words about what you would take too.

Reception can you independently use your phonics to write aq list of all of the things that you would take with you to space. Then can you write some sentences to telling me all about what you would take into space with you. Remember to use your phonics to spell and use the sentence check list to help you remember to include spaces, capital letters and full stops! Here is an example and some sentence starters to help you.

I need my soft teddy. I will take my big lunch box. I need my camera.

I will take...because….

I need….

What would you take into space?

Continue to practice your letter formation

I have recorded a letter formation video for you to help you develop your letter formation at home. It’s quite long so you may want to just practice a few letters at a time. I hope it helps! When you open the link, it can be slow loading. Wait a while and it should start to work.

It is super to hear about how this is helping lots of you with your letter formation!

Phonics and reading

Please look back at the phonics blog on the class one school closure blog for lots of phonics resources and ideas. Here is a list of websites and resources to support phonics learning at home. Nursery can try the phase 1 and 2 games and activities. Reception can try the phase 2, 3 and 4 activities. Please try and read a little each day.

All Nursery and Reception children can have a go at completing some of the day 1 and 2 The Dinosaur that Pooped a Planet themed maths challenges over the next two days. You can pick a few of the activities to try out on here.

Here is the link. Click on Summer term- Week 11 (w/c 6th July) and all of the activities for the week will be there. https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/

Forming numbers

I have recorded a video to help you develop your number formation.

https://www.showme.com/sh?h=A4gog1A

Numberblocks

These are a super way to learn and develop your maths skills. There are lots of episodes available on the iplayer. You could use a whiteboard or paper and join in with each episode by drawing the amounts or writing the number. Maybe you could make some numberblocks cakes, constructions or play dough creations too?

Other play based maths activities for Nursery to work on throughout the week

Counting skills- draw some stars and planets together. Can you count how many stars and planets there are and then create a number label? What if there was one more? One less?

Order numbers 0-5 and then up to 10, then count and draw the matching amount of stars. Can you count out 10 stars to match the number 10 or 5 stars to match the number 5.

Other play based maths activities for Reception to work on throughout the week

Order numbers 0-20, then count and draw the matching amount of stars or planets. Can you count out 20 stars to match the number 20 or 5 planets to match the number 5.
Adding and subtracting using lots of practical resources (use pictures/toy rockets, stars and planets) and drawings where you can. Use number stories to help with adding and subtracting e.g there were 2 stars and 4 planets, how many altogether? Make/draw/get the amounts to help set up and solve this. Look at recording as a number sentence together 2 + 4 = Continue to make your own number addition and subtraction stories.

Learn the Makaton for Dinosaur and listen to the story Dinosaur Roar with Makaton too!

Role play

Build and set up your own rocket for your own space adventure! All you need is a washing basket, a box or a space that can be turned into a rocket! Use cardboard and paper to create a control pad with all the buttons you need to control the rocket.

Remember to pack your bag using the list that you have written so that you don’t forget anything. Get into your space suit and the countdown 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 BLAST OFF!!! Off we go. What can you see out of the window? Where are we going to explore?

Watch a rocket launch here! Can you join in with the count down? How would you feel if you were sat on a rocket waiting to go into space?
