Rabbit Class Learning Tasks

Week beginning 29th June 2020

Hello Rabbit Class,

I hope you all enjoyed the hot sunny weather last week and managed to spend lots of time

outside having fun.

This week, in addition to Mathematics, English, and Computing from Mrs Bowen, I have also

included some Art, Design and Technology, and some Geography research for you too. As

usual, there is also a selection of ideas for P.E.

Well done to all of you who have been busy keeping up with your reading. Please remember, a

variety of books to read can also be found at Oxford Owls if you have exhausted your supply

at home. https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk

Have a wonderful week, and I look forward to seeing all your work on seesaw.

Mrs Lontay

Subject Tasks

ENGLISH

To start the week, I have some ‘Safe and Scared’ words from Mrs Wordsmith

for you.

Can you put these into some exciting sentences for me? Please complete at least 5

fantastic sentences showing your understanding of the word meanings.

jittery squeal disguise snuggle

huddle secure harmless

You can find an online dictionary for children at the following site if you need to check the meaning of

any of these words.

MATHS

As it is a few weeks since we practised our individual times tables, I would like you

to work on these today. If you are confident with your 2x, 5x and 10x tables as I

know many of you are, please focus on learning your 3x and 4x tables and beyond.

Fun activities which are tablet friendly too can be found at:

Multiplication

http://www.mental-arithmetic.co.uk/ has online times table activities as well as

worksheets you can download. You can set the criteria as to which times tables

you want to focus on.

ART

Today, I thought it might be fun, if you have the equipment at home, to have a go

at ‘Bubble painting’

You will need: Paint, straws, washing-up liquid and paper.

First decide which paint colours you are going to use

and put about a tablespoon of each colour in a

different cup. Then add a squirt of washing up liquid

to each cup and fill the cup 3/4 full with water and

stir well.

Next use your straws to blow into your mixture to create the bubbles.

Once they are ready to overflow from your cup, place a piece of paper on top

and watch how it prints the bubble pattern onto it.

I am really looking forward to seeing the pictures you make on seesaw.

P.E.

Remember that you need to

complete 30 minutes of

physical activity every day to

help keep your body fit and

healthy.

MATHS

Problem solving – Two Dice

Today, I have another problem for you from NRICH.

Opposite there is a picture of 2 dice. Look carefully - If you

add up the dots on the top, you will get 7.

Can you now find two dice to roll yourself?

Add the numbers that are on the top.

What other totals could you get if you roll the dice again?

COMPUTING

Computing

This week Rabbits we are going to remind ourselves of Internet safety.

Watch the video and have a chat with a grown up about how you keep safe online.

What would you do if you saw something online which made you feel uncomfortable?

Can you create a poster using some of the information in the video?

I will look for them on Seesaw!

Problem solving – Summer Holiday Code Breaker

Can you solve the calculations and use the code breaker to spell

out the summer-themed words?

Please record the words in your maths book.

(You will find an enlarged copy of the worksheet if you scroll

down).

Good luck, code breakers!

GEOGRAPHY

Earlier in the year, we learnt that there are 7 continents and 5 main oceans in the

world, and you constructed some super maps to show where each was. Today, I

thought it might be fun to explore the oceans a bit further. I would like you to do

some research so that you can design me, either a super poster or a fact file full of

ocean facts tomorrow.

For example: Can you discover:

• How much of the Earth’s surface is covered by oceans?

• Which is the biggest/smallest ocean?

• What the lowest point on Earth is called?

• Where is the world’s largest coral reef?

• What is the ‘funny name’ of the jelly fish which live in Arctic?

• Where is the main breeding ground for humpback whales?

These are just some ideas for your research. However, you might choose to

discover other interesting facts about our oceans. It is up to you!

These are some useful websites you could use:

Today, I am going to leave the topic of your writing up to you. You can write

• The correct use of tense

• Exciting vocabulary

I can’t wait to read your work!

We started the week with times tables so I thought we would end the week

Why not make up a new dance

for your family to join in

with?

Why not build a den in

your garden?

Make it really comfy and

it would be a great place

to do some reading.

Simple activities like

gardening are a great

source of exercise too.

Maybe you could help

with some weeding, or

planting or watering.

Play follow the leader:

Take turns to be the leader and make sure

to include exercises like jumping jacks,

kicks, running, star jumps, bunny hops etc.

Cycling is a healthy sport.

Why not go for a bike ride with your family?

Why not try some skipping.

Lots of challenges can be

found on this website with

film clips on how to achieve.
