Monday’s Learning

Reading: Re-listen to our Bookshelf Book ‘The Snail and the Whale’ on your Teams account or watch

the animated video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000cslw/the-snail-and-the-

whale

Writing: Story Map

Maths:

.

Activity

Can you remember when we drew story maps of The Three Little Pigs and

Owl Babies?

Today, we would like you to draw a story map of The Snail and the Whale and use it to re-tell the

story using Makaton. Your map should include:

Drawing and some writing (see examples)

The beginning, middle and end of the story

Makaton signs can be found in Resources. You can also watch a full retelling of the story using

Makaton, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Frlm9eAiXNk

Activity: Choose some of your ideas to write down as sentences. Don’t forget your capital

letters, finger spaces and full stops.

Challenge: Draw a picture of where you imagined the rope might lead to. Can you label your

picture?

Activity

Snails leave silvery trails wherever they go. If you were a snail, where would your trail

have been today?

Activity 1: Make a map of where you have been and talk about position and distance. Did you

go under the table? In front of the TV? Around the settee?

Or, you could plan your map and then follow the map to leave your trail!

Activity

Activity 1: Look at the captions. Point to or underline any digraphs or trigraphs that you know.

(Digraph = two letters that make one sound such as ‘oa’ trigraphs = three letters that makes one

sound such as ‘igh’).

Read the captions. Segment and blend the sounds if you need to, e.g. b-oa-t, boat).

Can you match the captions to the correct picture?

Monday’s Learning Continued

Phonics: This week we are recapping multisyllabic words.

Below are links to two teaching videos you can use this week. You may find it easier to split

the videos over several days.

Tuesday’s Learning

Reading: Read a book - from home, from school or online.

https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/for-home/find-a-book/library-page/

Discuss the meaning of any new words you come across.

Writing: Please watch the video tutorial on Teams before completing this activity.

Maths:

Activity

Today, you are going to plan your own story based on The Snail and the Whale.

Use the questions (and template if you would like) in Resources to plan your story. Take time

to think about each question and talk about your ideas with an adult before writing them

down. You will be using this plan tomorrow, to write your story.

Activity

Activity 1: The Snail and the Whale meet lots of underwater friends on their adventures. Can you

count and record how many of each creature they see? Think really carefully about your number

formation!

Activity 2: Can you complete these addition word problems and write the number sentences? You

may want to use two ten frames to help you. See Resources.

- The snail waves to the starfish and the seahorses. How many creatures does he wave to

altogether?

- The whale says hello to the turtles and the Nemo fish. How many creatures does he say hello

to altogether?

Challenge: Can you make up your own word problem story?


Tuesday’s Learning Continued






Activity

Write each of these words onto slips of paper. Scrunch them up and scatter them around the

room ready to play musical snowballs! Play some music and when the music stops (ask an

adult to do this part for you), pick up a snowball and read out the word. Can you say the

word and clap the correct number of syllables? E.g. snowball would be snow/ball = 2 claps.

Challenge: Choose one or more of the words to put into a sentence.

Manchester lunchbox helper

softest champion seventh

sandwich thundering melting



Wednesday’s Learning

Reading: Listen to Mrs Jones read ‘Zog’ on your Teams account.

Writing:

Activity – Story Writing

Now it’s time to use your story plan to write your own short story! How you write your story is up to you,

you could use your yellow exercise book or create your own book by folding paper.

Take time to plan your sentences and really think about your phonics! You could make this a two-day

project if you would like. If you only planned the animals and what they see, don’t worry about

writing about the problem and solution in your story.

Take a look at Miss Shaw’s example below, first. If you would like to, you can use Miss Shaw’s example

but change it to fit your story plan. For a challenge, try and write your story from scratch!

Think about:

How are you going to start your story? You could use ‘Once upon a time’ or ‘One day’ or ‘This

is a tale about’

How does the small creature get on the large creature’s back? A slug might slither, a ladybird

might fly, a beetle might tiptoe…

Check it:

Read back each sentence after you have read it. Does it make sense?

Have you used capital letters at the start of each new sentence and full stops at the end?

Could you make your sentences even more exciting with adjectives (describing words)?

Can you join any of your sentences together with words like ‘but’ ‘and’ or ‘because’?

Challenge: Can you illustrate your story?

The Gorilla and the Ant

This is a tale about an ant who hopped

onto the back of a hairy gorilla because

he wanted to see the world! They set off

on an adventure. They saw leafy trees

and rocky mountains and hungry

crocodiles. One day the gorilla got stuck

in a vine! The ant thought about what

to do. He nibbled the vine so that the

gorilla was free!

Maths: Wednesday, Thursday and Friday’s Maths activities will be based on the book Zog and will

use videos from White Rose Maths, which we will post the links to in your Learning from Home

pack and on Twitter. Please watch Mrs Jones reading the story on your Teams account, if you

haven’t already.






Activity

Activity 1: Look at Summer Term - Week 9 W/C 22nd June, Day 1. Watch the video and

complete the pattern challenges https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/

Activity 2: Draw a large snail shell on a piece of paper by drawing a spiral. Use a cotton

bud or your little finger and some paint (or felt tips) and carefully dot around your snail shell.

Can you experiment with different patterns? You can make the shell as inventive as you like

as long as you can explain your pattern!

Activity

On your Teams account is a PowerPoint presentation with a game for you to play with an

older sibling or adult. All the instructions and things you will need to play the game are on

the PowerPoint.

Good luck!

Thursday’s Learning

Reading: Read a book - from home, from school or online. Skim through the book first and try to spot

any tricky words that you recognise.


Writing: We would like the children to reflect on their Reception experience and get their opinion on

what they like doing, what they have learned over the year and what they would like their

new teacher to know about them. Please complete the Pupil Profile in Resources with your

child. This is something that we usually do in school and it can be filled in using pictures with

captions or sentences. If you are completing this at home, please ask your child what they

feel they are best at in English and Maths and what they find tricky for the ‘Strengths and Next

Steps’ sections. Don’t worry if you are not clear about what they are – have a go and your

teacher can fill them in in more detail if necessary.

Please make sure you upload a photo of the completed Profile to Tapestry.

Maths:

Phonics: Play tricky word trucks: Phonics Play – Resources – Tricky Word Trucks – Phase 3, 4 or 5

depending on which set you have been practising or need further practise on:

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/4/tricky-word-trucks

Activity

Activity 1: Look at Summer Term - Week 9 W/C 22nd June, Day 2. Watch the video and complete

the challenges: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/. It would be helpful to

have two ten frames to complete these challenges – see Resources.

Activity 2: In the video, it asks you to make a reward. We would like you to combine at least 3

different shapes for your reward.

- What shapes have you used?

- How many sides do your shapes have?

- How many corners do your shapes have?


https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/4/tricky-word-trucks


Friday’s Learning

Reading: Read a book - from home, from school or online.


As you are reading, discuss emotions. “How is this character feeling?” “Why do you think

that?” Look for clues in the story to back up your answers, e.g. you might know the dog is

happy because his tail is wagging or the boy is excited because it is his birthday…

Writing: Capital letter formation

Please watch the video tutorial on Teams. You may want to practise three letters today and

three letters tomorrow.

Activity

The letters shown are from the Long Legged Giraffe family. Please practise using your handwriting

book, completing one line of each letter. Take your time and do your best for each one. Tick which

one you think looks the most like the example above.

L - Start at the top, come down and go across.

I - Start at the top, come down. Lift. Across at the top. Lift. Across at the bottom.

T - Start at the top, come down. Lift. Across at the top.

U - Start at the top, come down. Curve back up.

J - Start at the top, come down. Curve to the left. Lift. Across at the top.

Y - Slope down, slope back up. Lift. Come down from the point.


Maths:

Phonics:

Phonics answers: market / chicken / handstand / poison / wicked (they all have 2 syllables, so 2 claps).

Activity

Activity 1: Please watch the video at Summer Term - Week 9 W/C 22nd June, Day 3 and complete

the tasks: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/

It would be helpful to have two ten frames to complete these challenges – see Resources.

Activity 2: We would like you to complete your own flying lessons! Choose a few flying routes

around your house. Using a timer (stopwatch on a phone or use an online version), time how long

it takes you to complete each flying route (full seconds only please!) Then discuss:

- Which route took you the longest time?

- Which route took you the shortest time?

Challenge: Can you order your routes from shortest to longest?

Activity

Activity 1: Can you write a label for each of these pictures? Clap out the syllables when you have

written the word. (Answers at the bottom of the page.)
