Effective infection protection and control There are important actions that children and young people, their parents and those who work with them can take during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, to help prevent the spread of the virus. In all education, childcare and social care settings, preventing the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) involves dealing with direct transmission (for instance, when in close contact with those sneezing and coughing) and indirect transmission (via touching contaminated surfaces). A range of approaches and actions should be employed to do this. These can be seen as a hierarchy of controls that, when implemented, creates an inherently safer system, where the risk of transmission of infection is substantially reduced. These include:

We hope you are all keeping well. Here are some new activities you can do at home with your child in addition to those already on our support your child page. For previous activities please click here |

The first book we’ve been learning about is Billy’s Bucket by Kes Gray and Garry Parsons.
Listen to this amazing retelling of the story.

Imagine you are looking into your own bucket, just like Billy.
Draw a circle on a piece of paper and use your imagination to fill it with sea creatures.
Watch these live videos from the Aquarium of the Pacific. Think about the different sea creatures you can see. http://www.aquariumofpacific.org/exhibits/webcams/webcam_blue_cavern http://www.aquariumofpacific.org/exhibits/webcams/webcam_tropical_reef http://www.aquariumofpacific.org/exhibits/webcams/webcam_sea_jellies http://www.aquariumofpacific.org/exhibits/webcams/webcam_shark_lagoon

Try finding half of different numbers to ten. Share the objects between two plates, make sure that both plates have the same number of objects. Can you share all the numbers to ten equally between two? Why can’t you share some numbers equally between two?

Summer Scrapbook
Why don’t you keep a scrapbook of all the things you do over the summer holidays. You can stick in photos, draw pictures, write sentences and stick in things you find when you’re out and about. Your teacher would love you to share your scrapbook with them in September. |

Can you draw a picture of your classroom or something from school and write an independent sentence about how it is different or similar to a Victorian school. Remember to use a capital letter and a full stop. |
Mathematics
This is a great opportunity to learn to tell the time to o’clock and half past.
Watch this video introducing you to an analogue clock.
If you don’t have a clock at home to practise telling the time on, you can use this interactive clock instead.
Why don’t you try making your own teaching clock to help you practise?
Use a paper plate or draw around a plate on a piece of card and cut it out.
Use your clock to solve problems involving time. Here are some examples to get you started.

Maths - number bonds of 20Find all the ways of making 20 by adding two numbers. Here are a few to get you started. 0 + 20 = 20 1 + 19 = 20 2 + 18 = 20 3 + 17 = 20 |
Maths - 8 fact familiesNow choose one of the number bonds and write the four addition and four subtraction calculations using the three numbers. Remember to check they make sense! Can you use a bar model or a part whole model to represent the calculation? |
Computing - typing skillsHave a go at level 1 on Dance Mat Typing. Listen carefully and persevere! |
Science – seasonsWatch this video about the four seasons. |
|
Can you make your own season’s wheel? Think about the weather and temperature during each season. Remember, it can be sunny or rainy in any of the four seasons. What clothes would you expect to wear throughout the year?
|
|
Watch this video and then have a go at the activity. Finally test yourself on everything you have learned by having a go at the seasons quiz! |
Over the summer…Something children always find tricky is saying the alphabet but starting from different letters. This is something you could practise over the summer holidays. k, l, m, n… r, s, t, u…

Roald Dahl- The Twits
Mr and Mrs Twit love to play horrible tricks on each other!
|
|
|
Try thinking of your own disgusting trick for Mr or Mrs Twit. Draw a picture of the trick and then write a few sentences or a short story about what happens. Remember to think about who is going to read your story. Make it exciting and use interesting vocabulary!
If you have enjoyed learning about Roald Dahl and his fabulous stories, you can listen to James and the Giant Peach being read by some famous faces on the Roald Dahl HQ YouTube page.

Mathematics
This is a great opportunity to learn to tell the time to o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. Make sure you are really secure on these before learning to tell the time to five minutes.
If you don’t have a clock at home to practise telling the time on, you can use this interactive clock instead.
Why don’t you try making your own teaching clock to help you practise?
Use a paper plate or draw around a plate on a piece of card and cut it out.
Ask your grown-up to challenge you with some more time problems. Think about what time you do things throughout the day. What will you be doing in half an hour? What were you doing an hour ago? |
Science – animals, habitats and food chains
Follow these links to find out about animals, their habitats and food chains.
Look for different wild animals when you are in your garden, at the park or on the beach. Think about how these animals fit into a food chain. What do these animals eat? Is there an animal that eats them?
Have a look at these habitats.What kind of animals do you think you would find living in them? Can you be a scientist and think about the characteristics of these habitats? Are they hot or cold? Are they wet or dry? What kind of plants grow in them? Are they sunny or shady? Are they windy or sheltered?
|
A little extra… |
|
The children in school have been having a go at skipping with a rope… and finding it really tricky! See if you can practise using a skipping rope at home. This is great exercise and using these muscles will even help with writing! |
