Day 3
Hi everyone. I hope you’re all OK and are keeping well. I cannot believe we are already on day 3 of home learning. I hope you’re enjoying the activities and getting on OK with them.

English
Today we are going to pick a character from the story to describe. We have done lots of character descriptions in class so it should be a familiar task.
Recap:
What characters are in the story?
You can choose to describe either Jack or the Giant today.
Think about:
What does they look like?
What are they wearing?
What are they like?
What words will you use? How do you sound them out? Use your robot arms.
What do we need to remember when we are writing?
Like yesterday, if possible, don’t tell your child how to spell words. Get them to use their robot arms (they will know what to do). Get them to sound it out – first say the word. Then what sound does the word start with, what sound can you hear in the middle, what sound can you hear at the end of the word?
Use this phonics mat to help identify sounds needed.

Here is the Character description activity.
Print it off if you like or can. If not just do your writing in your book.

Spellings
I will set spellings on spelling shed each week (fingers crossed it works as Mrs Fisher usually does this for Beech class). I will just be focusing on the Year 1 Common Exception words while we are off. I will set 6 words a week to practice. This week’s words are…

Some you may have had before but it’s good to recap these words. Please try to practice them at home. You could do your own test each week of you would like?
Maths – Length
Today we are going to recap the work we have done on length.
Look through this with your child:
We can use anything to measure, pencils, hands, feet, paperclips, books etc.
Measure different objects in your house. Pick a unit to measure with e.g. pencils. Tell you adult how long or tall something is.
For example the chair is 8 pencils tall.
Phonics
Please look at this pdf for today’s phonics revision.
Well-being Activity for the day
Here are the peer massage pictures the class made up. You could do them at home to support well-being. Your child will show you what to do.
Extra Activities
I have set some ToDo’s on Purple Mash to consolidate Maths from this week and I have put a build a castle activity to link to the work we had done in class. These are optional extra’s so do them if you wish. Spread the tasks out if you wish.
Here are some Jack and the Beanstalk activities to complete if you would like to do some extra bits. Just select one for today. Save another for tomorrow.
Can you build a Jack and the beanstalk scene? Can you build a tall beanstalk?
Get creative! Can you make a Jack and the Beanstalk picture?
Again, email if you have any issues. Please send pictures, if you like, of any work and I would love to have a look – show me your measuring!

Hello Beech Class its Mrs Thomas here! I hope you are enjoying the sunshine as well as doing the home learning tasks. I have just looked at the Peer Massage pictures – it’s really got me wondering what the massage moves are to each of those! Enjoy your day.
Hi Mrs Thomas, hope you are well? Amelia was explaining to me this morning and demonstrated the peer massages on me. I think it’s a great they have been doing it at school and now Amelia can implement it at home on me ?. We have been busy doing lots of work set my Mrs Quinn and enjoying the sun in the garden getting fresh air while self isolating. Take care and stay safe xxx
That is great to hear! Well done Amelia for the hard work. I’m glad you enjoyed the peer massage! Mrs Quinn x
Thanks Mrs Quinn, yes she has been working hard although seems quite tired but we’re grateful for being able to be outside in the garden in the beautiful sun. She’s desperate to play with her friends, but instead she’s stuck with me and Bella while daddy works all day upstairs. Will try and upload pictures and email them to you so you can see what’s she’s been up too. Bought a printer from John Lewis so that will come in handy to print things of that you set. My sister printed lots of stuff work sheets of twinkl so they have been good. Hope your well and stay safe xxx
I know we are lucky to be having such lovely weather. Please do send pictures over. I am planning on doing a blog of them this evening so it would be great to have some of Amelia. It’s great you’ve bought a printer. All the work set has a print free option too. Speak soon Mrs Quinn x
