If your child is isolating from school due to Covid 19 but they are well enough to work, here is their work for the week ahead.
English - this story unit is called The Magic Paintbrush and covers two weeks of work. Just start from Lesson 1 when your child has to isolate. The unit covers listening and responding to a story, retelling a story, using ‘ed’ for the past tense, boxing up the main details/points in a story, amking a story plan and goes on the get the children to do their own story writing. https://classroom.thenational.academy/units/the-magic-paintbrush-mood-1d98
Maths - this two week unit is all about numbers to 10 and covers the areas we will be doing in class. The unit covers numbers to 10, 20, number bonds, doubling and representing numbers to 10 and then 20. It using tens frames, which the children are familiar with in class. To help counting you can use counters, if you have them or pieces of pasta! Anything will do. Just follow the unit from the beginning when your child starts their isolation. Start with Lesson 3 as this is where the focus on NUMBER BONDS STARTS. https://classroom.thenational.academy/units/numbers-to-10-526c
These are our afternoon subjects - I have added in the days that we do this subject, so you can organise yourself in the same manner - but feel free to organise your afternoons how best suits you!
MONDAY RE - this half term is all about Mary and the birth of the baby Jesus. We will learn all about Mary, why she is so special and why God chose her. We will learn the Hail Mary prayer, the story of the visitation of the Angel Gabriel to Mary’s house and write our own prayer to Mary. I have added a BBC video of the Christmas story - with the focus just being on the first part to begin with when it talks about Mary and the Angel Gabriel - along with a selection of activities ranging from writing your own Mary prayer, learning the Hail Mary and making a Mary stain glass window.

TUESDAY -Science - this unit is all about the Animal Kingdom and how animals can be separated into different groups, depending on their characters. This unit is a six week unit, meaning one lesson per week and can be started from lesson 1 when your child has to isolate. We have science once a week, on Tuesday, so just need to do one of these lessons! https://classroom.thenational.academy/units/the-animal-kingdom-3cfa
WEDNESDAY - PSHE - this unit for the half term is all about Me, you and us! The tpic covers why we are all special, looks at what makes us the same and different to the people around us. This unit celebrates what makes us the same but importantly recognises what is different about each us and celebrates our difference too as they are what makes us each an individual. Start at lesson 1 if your child is off, but as the sessions are only short, you could look at a few if you have time!

THURSDAY - Art - This half term we are going to focus on how a series of different artists use colour in their work to portray what they see and their feelings towards their study. Our unit is called Colour Chaos. In this unit we will examine the work of Mondrian, Klee, Delaunary, Kandinsky and Pollack and look at how they used colour, space and shape to create their works of art.
Today’s lesson we focus on how Mark Rothko used colour mixing to produce his abstract work. I would like the children to experiment with this style and colours to create their own ’colour mixing’ work in the style of Rothko. The children will need some paints, a brush, water pot, paper and something to mix their paint colours in. There is an activity sheet for this lesson for those children who may find planning on their own picture a bit tricky - I have added it, but I would rather see the children’s own creations. Have fun and Mrs V and I look forward to seeing the results!

FRIDAY - Topic - this unit is all about our local area, looking at maps, learning how to read keys and finding out as much as we can about the area we live in. It would be lovely if the children could find out some information about Blackpool, or the street that they live on. If this is a bit tricky with you working, or you need a little video for the children to watch and an activity to do - I have added an Oak Academy unit on Local Areas, settlements and finding out about where you live. I would start with LESSON 7 as these are the most relevant to our topic and local study skills such as keys and finding human and physical features.
