Wolves week beginning Mon 30th March
Date: 29th Mar 2020 @ 5:32pm
Hello Wolves, hope you had a nice weekend off. This week we have a shape and Easter theme.
Listed below are your activities to chose from for the week, try to complete as many as possible.
Maths
2D 'flat' and 3D 'solid' shapes. Start with 2D shapes for a couple of days, then go onto 3D shapes, looking for the 2D shapes on the faces of the 3D shapes e.g. you can see squares and rectangles on a cuboid.
I have attached a 2D shape file below of pictures to help and pcitures of 3D shapes.
Reception need to name the easier shapes and descibe them e.g. number of sides, corners (square, circle, triangle, rectangle - 2D) (cube, cuboid, cylinder, sphere - 3D). Play games e.g. guess my shape, it has 3 equal straight sides, what is it? Make a repeating pattern of 2D shapes. Make a picture using shapes, count how many rectangles, circles etc you have used. Can you spot any 2D shapes or 3D shapes in your house?
Year 1 need to name and describe the easier 2D and 3D shapes on both files below. To describe a 3D shape, you need to talk about how many faces it has (rather than sides), how many edges (the straight lines where 2 faces join) and how many vertices (pointy corners where faces join). Can you find any of these shapes in your house? Is your roof a trianglular prism? Play a guessing game - I have 6 faces, 12 edges and 8 vertices, what am I? (cube or cuboid). Make a picture using 2D shapes or a model using 3D shapes.
Year 2 need to name and describe all of the shapes on both files below. Play guessing games. If you can print the files off, you can cut the shape pictures out and sort them e.g. number of sides, can they roll? Do they have curved faces? If you have a small mirror, you can test the 2D shapes to see if they have a line of symmetry down the middle, wherre both sides are exactly the same.
Easter
I would like you to choose from the following activities. Upload a photo in Keeping in touch Wolves discussion of anything you make:
1. Make your Easter bonnet or hat and upload a photo of you wearing it close up, or a couple of photos from front and back. Login as a pupil and go to discussions. There is a Bentley Easter bonnets discussion for you to upload your photos to.
2. Listen to the Easter story from Palm Sunday, to The Last Supper, to Jesus' arrest in the Garden of Gethsemene, to Good friday when he dies on the cross, and finally Easter Sunday when he rose again. You could read it in a children's bible, or there is a Powerpoint below, or you will find a simple version on Youtube
Talk to your parents about any questions you have about the story. Draw a picture and write about what you have learned about the Easter story.
3. Make an Easter card for someone with some symbols of Easter on them - cross (Jesus died and rose again), egg (new life), chick (new life).
4. Make Easter biscuits or Easter nests or an Easter cake. For Easter biscuits, use a simple biscuit recipe but add spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg because Jesus' body has spices on it when it was laid in the tomb. Cut them into crosses if you can. For easter nests, melt marg, golden syrup and chocolate and stir in cornflakes, rice crispies or crushed shredded wheat and put in bun cases with chocolate eggs in.
5. Can you make your own Easter wordsearch by drawing a grid and putting the letters of your Easter words in first before filling with other letters, and writing your words underneath to find?
6. Use your measuring skills to measure and draw a cross and cut it out. Decorate it and write a message on and put through someone's letterbox to cheer them up.
7. Make a cross out of lego. What is the biggest cross you can make that won't fall over?
8. Toast your own hot cross bun, with a grown up to help. What will you put on top?
9. Write a prayer about new life and new beginnings. Write it out in your best handwriting and decorate it.
10. Make an Easter garden out of a seed tray or plastic tray. You need to make a tomb and 3 crosses, as in the picture below:
