Week beginning ?, 2022

 

Monday

 

Wellbeing/Physical Activity

Learning Intention:

We are learning to identify calming strategies so we can calm ourselves down

 

Task:

Log in to ClickView and watch Calming my Body and Brain.

Try the strategies the video suggests, Japanese hand holding, shake to relax and squeeze and release.

Which one was your favourite strategy? Why?

How did it make your body feel?

When could you use these strategies?

During the week, if you feel like you are in the red or yellow zone try using one of these strategies to calm your body down.

        

 

 

 

(15 minutes)

 

Reading & Viewing

Learning Intention:

We are learning to identify our favourite part of stories so we understand what we read

 

Task:

Log in to Story Box here and listen to the story We All Sleep.

Think of your favourite part of the story and why. Draw a picture of this in your workbook.

Show someone at your house your drawing and tell them why this is your favourite part. 

(10 minutes)

 

 

Writing

Learning Intention:

We are learning to talk about something that has happened so we can write a recount

Task:

In the story We All Sleep, the characters fall asleep under the stars.

Set up a campsite. This could be in your living room, bedroom or backyard. You may want the campsite to be big enough for you or it could be for your teddies.

Look at the pictures below for some ideas.

 

 

Think about some of the things you need on the campsite. For example, shelter like a teepee, fort or tent, snacks and warmth. You might want to read some of your favourite stories while you’re camping or sing some songs.

After you or your teddies have been camping, talk to someone in your family about what you did while you were camping.

(20 minutes+)

 

Maths

Daily Fluency Game:

Play Go Fish using a pack of cards. You need to try and collect as many pairs as possible.

1. Give each player five cards. All remaining cards are placed face down in a draw pile.
2. On your turn, ask a player for a specific number card to make a pair with a card you already have in your hand
   (remember you are trying to collect pairs of cards), for example ‘Do you have a 5?’
3. If the player you ask has any cards with that number, they must give you the card.
4. If the person you ask doesn’t have the card you asked for, they say, “Go fish.”
5. You then draw the top card from the draw pile.

Go Fish continues until either someone has no cards left in their hand or the draw pile runs out.

The winner is the player who then has the most pairs.

 

(10 minutes each day)

Learning Intention:

We are learning about numbers 0-20 so we can count

 

Task:

Choose a number between 10-20 and make collections of this amount.

Try to arrange items differently. For example, make 10 as a group of 5 and 5 or 6 and 4 (see below).

 

       

How many different ways can you find to make each number?

(15 minutes)

Tuesday

 

Wellbeing/Physical Activity

Learning Intention:

We are learning to identify calming strategies so we can calm ourselves down

 

Task:

Practise the following 2 breathing strategies (5 minutes each day).

  
  

Six Sides of Breathing: Imagine you are drawing a hexagon with your finger in the air using the hexagon image below to help you.
As you draw over the first side of the hexagon, take a deep breath in, feeling your shoulders rise as the air fills you.

Hold your breath for a moment as you trace over the next side. Slowly breathe out as you trace the third side of the hexagon.

Continue tracing around the bottom three sides of the hexagon as you complete another deep breath.

Continue The Six Sides of Breathing cycle until you feel calm and relaxed.

Lazy 8 Breathing: Imagine you are tracing the Lazy 8 with your finger starting at the star and taking a deep breath in.

As you cross over to the other side of the Lazy 8, slowly let your breath out. Continue breathing around the Lazy 8 until you have a calm body and mind.

 

At the end of the week, discuss with a family member which breathing strategy you prefer.

Science

Learning Intention:

We are learning about what living things need to survive

 

Tasks:

Living things all need to breathe. Some living things breathe air.

Stand in a quiet place in your house.

Close your eyes and listen to your breathing.

Think about if your breath is fast or slow or if it is hard or easy to breath.

Draw a table like the one below, in the ‘before’ column draw a picture of yourself  and label your picture with things you noticed that your breath was doing.

Now, choose an exercise to complete inside your house or outside.

You may want to go for a run, jump on your trampoline or do some skipping.

You might have another exercise you like!

While you are exercising and when you are finished think about what your breath was doing. Think if it was fast or slow or if it is hard or easy to breathe.

Draw a picture of yourself and label your picture with things you noticed that your breath or body was doing in the ‘after’ section.

Wednesday

 

Wellbeing/Physical Activity

Talk to a family member about how it feels when you read or have been told something that you know is incorrect.

Do you feel mad, frustrated or annoyed?

How does your body feel?

Are you in the yellow or red zone?

Now, practise a strategy you have learnt to use when you feel this way (e.g. count to 5, take deep breaths, think of something positive to say, go for a walk etc.)

(10 minutes)

 

Reading & Viewing

Learning Intention:

We are learning to monitor our reading by rereading a sentence

 

Task:

Before reading: What do you think is happening in this picture? Can you describe what this picture is about?

During reading: When you get to a tricky word, make the sound of the first letter and think what the unknown word could be. Have a go at reading the tricky word and think, ‘does it look right?’ and ‘does it make sense?’
Check the tricky word by clicking the ‘read to me’ function. Go back to the start of the sentence and reread for fluency.

After reading: Think about how rereading helped understand what you were reading.

Look at the example below and try to use this strategy when completing your independent reading with your bug club books.

                         

(10+ minutes)

 

 

Writing

Learning Intention:

We are learning to talk about something that has happened so we can write a recount
