zoom lesson-9.15

News Writing

Please copy the date the adult writes.  Then draw a picture of something you have done, your family, what you got for Christmas, your favorite toy or story.  It is up to you.

Then can you use your phonic skills to write about your picture.  Write down all the phonemes/sounds you can here. 

So if you wanted to write park-you might hear p and k.

We practiced a sentence together, working out the phonemes we needed to write.  Sometimes we needed a digraph such as ss and oo, which is two letters to make one sound and we also needed to use some keywords.

Have a go at writing your sentence by yourself as much as you can.

11.00 zoom lesson

Mrs Kirby talked about how we can measure things to see which is the tallest and which is the shortest.

She found three objects in the classroom to compare.  We have to remember to make sure we are measuring them from the same starting point.

She then put them in size order and talked about which one is short, shorter, shortest and tall, taller, tallest.

Can you have a look around your home and find some objects to put into size order?

Put one set from shortest to tallest and then another set from tallest to shortest.

1.30 zoom lesson

We read together our new Talk4Writing story called 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff' with some of our special actions.

Please have a go at the text and actions of the story so we can all join in together next time.

Can you make a picture of a goat using your hand print or by drawing around your hand?

If your grown up joins in you could make your goats different sizes.

Here are some photos to show you how to create your goat pictures.

There are some video clips here to help you.

11.00 zoom lesson

We talked about the measuring we did yesterday and how we were trying to find out which object was the tallest or shortest.

Today we are going to make a bridge and then choose something like a spoon, a car or a brick (non-standard measurement) to measure how long our bridge was.

Then we are going to make the bridge longer and measure it again.

Mrs Kirby used a brick to measure her bridge and then made it longer and measured it again.

What can you make your bridge out of and what will you use to measure how long your bridge is?

Can you now make your bridge longer and then measure it again?

This morning we have been learning and practicing spellings of some of our keywords.

We looked at, said, covered and wrote each word so we could learn how to write them by ourselves.

Look/Say/Cover/Write.

Please practice spelling these words as we will be working on them again next week.

11.00 zoom meeting

Time

We looked at a clock and talked about how the big hand moves around the clock each minute and moves 60 times to make 1 hour and then changes to the next o'clock time.

The little hand tells us which hour it is.

We looked at 9 o'clock, 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock and talked about what sort of things we would be doing at those times.

9 o'clock-arriving at school

12 o'clock-having lunch

3 o'clock-getting ready to go home.

Then we drew in a square by each time what we would be doing.

Task-Can you draw a square for each time and then draw what you think the Three Billy Goats would be doing at each time.

Maybe they were going trip trap over the bridge, maybe the troll was being mean and green or maybe the goats were eating lots of juicy green grass.

Well done to everyone in Mercury Class.

Thank you all for working so hard this week, for joining our zoom sessions and for putting your work onto Seesaw.

You have all done an amazing job!

Have a great weekend and see you on Monday.

News Writing

Ask your grown up to write the date for you to copy.

Then choose a picture to draw.  You can draw yourself, you and your family, you and your friends, your pet, your house.  It is up to you.

Then think about what you want to write about your picture.

 Together we practiced writing the sentence:

                                                My car is green.

Think about the sounds/phonemes you can hear in the word you are trying to spell and then write down all the letters you can hear.

Have a go by yourself as much as you can.

Below is an example of some independent writing.

11.00 zoom lesson-Positional Language

We drew a picture of a scene like the one below and chose a small toy to use on the picture.

We then listened very carefully and placed our small toy in the correct place on the picture.

-in the pond.

-next to the flowers.

-in front of the tree.

-on the swing.

-under the pond

-on top of the tree.

-next to a fish.

-under the swing.

-in front of the flowers

The task is then for you to draw a picture of a setting where the 'Three Billy Goats Gruff' would live with maybe a river, a bridge, flowers, a tree and then place the troll and the three goats onto your picture and then write a label about where they are

-'on top, under, next to, in front of'.

1.30 zoom lesson

Storytelling

We recited our story of 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff' together with the actions.

We then shared ideas and changed the characters and some of the events in our story.

Mrs Kirby used post its to show the changes on the story map.  We had some good ideas of have a story about three fluffy dogs on the sea in a boat and a mean, green shark who was trying to stop them getting some delicious, fresh dog food, but in the end the shark was caught and put in the bin.

The task was to create and draw pictures of a story map for this new version of the story.

Please find here our new version of the story

THE THREE FLUFFY DOGS

Tuesday 12th January

Please find below recordings of the phonics and handwriting we did this morning.

Please can you draw a picture of something that begins with a 'c' and then write a label for it.

Make sure when you write your label the c starts with a whoosh.

11.00 zoom lesson

We recited our new story of 'The Three Fluffy Dogs' using the key phrases and actions from the story using the story map.

Mrs Kirby then drew a story map of another story she made up about three trains that wanted to go through a tunnel to a more exciting and interesting track, but the Rock Monster was trying to stop them and then in the end the big train crashed through the tunnel and the Rock Monster to get all three trains to the new exciting track.

Can you make up your own story map? Think of your own characters, somewhere they want to get to, a new character trying to stop them and a new ending of how they get to live 'happily ever after'.  Choose any characters you want.

When you have drawn the story map, try to write your own labels as well.

1.30 zoom lesson-Estimating and counting

Mrs Kirby estimated (guessed) how many spoons she could pick up in one hand. 

She then picked up the spoons with one hand and counted how many she actually picked up.

Mrs Kirby made some marks on her chart to show how many she estimated and then how many she counted.  Write the number next to your marks if you can.

Mrs Kirby then did the same with some toy animals and with some pasta.

Remember to count your objects carefully and accurately to get the correct amount.

How good are you at estimating? 

When you counted your objects how close were you to your guesses?

The children can give their Ideas for changing the first sentence of the poem by changing the day.

We changed the day in the first sentence.  We tried using different times of the day: 'Once upon a misty morning', 'Once upon a stormy night.'

Or maybe special times of the year; 'Once upon a Halloween', 'Once upon a Christmas Eve.'

Task-Create  and sail a flower shaped, colourful paper boat.

WHAT YOU NEED:

• Regular Printer Paper
• Markers or Crayons
• Container filled with 1-2 inches of Water (To make it more fun, I add blue food coloring to the water.)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.) Print the free Blooming Puddle Paper Flowers Printable above.

2.) Colour the paper flowers with crayons or markers. If you use markers, make sure to let the paper dry completely before doing this activity.

3.) Cut the flowers out around the black outline.

4.) Fold the flower petals into the center. Do not crease the petals tightly, just loosely fold the petals or they will not open well.

5.) Gently place each flower into the water and watch it bloom! We like to do ours one at a time so we can admire the blooming process.

The paper absorbs the water which causes the petals to “bloom” (open.) Each petal opens one at a time, just like a real flower.

Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose.

Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his nose,

So, he flipped it and he flopped it And the fly flew away.

Powder puffs and curly whiskers,

Powder puffs and curly whiskers,

Powder puffs and curly whiskers,

So, he swished it and he swashed it And the fly flew away.

Next verses: Little Peter Rabbit had a fly upon his paw….
