Maths

Year 1 – try this to start -  ordering of numbers starting with the largest first: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/daily10 (Level 1, ordering largest first)

Today’s learning is taking away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjUsuKbhqxk

Remember when taking away we can’t do switchers, so use number lines, draw lines and cross them out or count back using your fingers or in your head.

Year 2 – Today you will be looking at numbers and sorting them into odd numbers or even numbers first. When you have done that try the challenge!

Blue group  - remember to count carefully and form numbers correctly. Click on the document to start.

Science

In class we have been investigating melting and freezing. Try this at home with an adult.

Have a look at a piece of bread. What does it look like? What does it smell like? What does it taste like? What does it feel and sound like?

Now what do you think is going to happen when you heat the bread up? Put the bread in the toaster and find out. Now what does it look like, smell like, feel and sound like?

What are the biggest changes? Can this change be undone?

Are there any other foods that you know can be heated and then change? Ask your grownup.

Art

Mackenzie Thorpe is a British artist who is 64 years old. He has painted lots of pictures. Today I would like you to draw or paint a picture of a giraffe in the style of Mackenzie Thorpe.
