Monday Maths
Explain what we mean by length and height. When might
we need to know the length and height of something? E.g.
how tall someone is. Show a 30cm ruler and measuring
tape if you have one. What sort of objects might we meas-
ure for each measurement tool? Using a 30cm ruler chil-
dren to be given different measurements and they must try
to find objects matching those measurements, for exam-
ple, “find something around 5cm in height” they may bring
back a cup. They then must measure its actual length and
height.
English
Savannah introduction- read fact sheet together
and ask your child to explain what the Savannah
is in their home learning book before going onto
learning about the springbok and completing the
facts.
1) What do they hunt? 2) What are their habitats? 3) 1
interesting fact you liked.
Also follow the link to learn a little about the Savan-
nah.
Topic
P.E.
It might be nice to mark Wimbledon this week
even if you do not own a tennis racket you could
play hand tennis.
Tuesday Maths
Explain that there are 10mm in 1cm and 100cm in a meter.
If the height or length is in between 2 whole cms we need
to count how man cms and mm it is, we then use a deci-
mal point to record this. For example 1.3cm. Measure and
record the measurements (length and height) for a range
of pirate themed pictures.
handwriting (recipe)
`Explain that one popular dessert in South Africa is a
biscuit type treat called rusks. We will then share the
recipe and children to use their best handwriting to
write it up to go in their topic books.

Wednesday Maths
Recap shorter/taller/longer/wider etc. Using addition and
subtraction skills we are going to compare the difference
between two objects length and height. Measure the
length of two objects, how much longer is one object from
the other- you can count on from the shorter object to the
longer length to find the difference (addition) or you can
count back from the longer length to the shorter one
(subtraction). Practise this skill using a range of objects.
Talk about note taking and model using bullet points.
Model turning a note or bullet point into a sentence.
Watch the National Geographic video on the elephant.
Watch it again and this time ask your child to write
down the following facts on their whiteboards in note
form and then write the 3 facts out as full sentences.
1) What do they hunt? 2) What are their habitats? 3) 1
interesting fact you liked.
R.E
See the PowerPoint included on website– continu-
ing our learning of Judaism
Thursday Maths
Discuss and solve the following problem in the example.
English
Read the facts on the giraffe. Ask your child to read
carefully as well as select the answers to the following
before writing them in full sentences.
1) What do they hunt? 2) What are their habitats? 3) 1
interesting fact you liked.
Geography
Go through South Africa PowerPoint before completing fact
file. This week children should also learn how to say hello and
goodbye in Afrikaans and Zulu as well as have a good day in
Zulu. Listen to Hayley’s recording also included on the Power-
Point..
JTKYG– 22nd June 2020

Year One Team
Thoughtful
Bee attitude of the week– bee
strong.
Think of a time when you have had to
be strong inside?
What frightens you?
Do you think you are a strong person
on the inside?
Do you look up to anyone who is
strong on the inside and why?
B
Show me half past 1
50 – 10 = 4 x 2 = 10 ÷ 2 =
Count in 5s from 35 to 100.
Show me 2 o’clock
36 – 10 = 4 x 5 = 15 ÷ 3 = Count in 2s from 12 to 40
Show me quarter to 2
40 – 10 = 3 x 5 = 12 ÷ 6 = Count back in 2s from 20 to 0
Show me quarter past 1
44 – 10 = 2 x 10 = 12 ÷ 4 = Count back in 5s from 50 to 0 Savannah art- select and carefully
stick in the silhouettes of the savan-
nah animals( free to draw some
others) then use either pastels or
paint to a sunset background like in
the example.

Giraffe
Giraffes are the tallest living land animals in the world. An adult male
can grow up to 6 metres tall – which is taller than three adult hu-
mans.
A giraffe’s height is helpful for keeping a look out for predators, such
as lions, hyenas and crocodiles. Their excellent eyesight also helps
to them spot them from far away, too.
Giraffes are herbivores and their long neck and tongues help them to reach leaves up high in
the tree tops that other animals cannot reach.
Giraffes do not need to drink much water as they get most of their water from their leafy meals
so will only drink once every few days.
Female giraffes give birth standing up, which means new-born giraffes drop to the ground from
a large height. But only a few hours later they are able to run with their mothers.
Female giraffes are called cows, male giraffes are called bulls and baby giraffes are called
calves.
Giraffes can run at speeds of up to 34 miles per hour, but if they are running from one of their
predators they can reach a sprint of 60 miles an hour.
Male giraffes fight to see who is strongest. They bang their long heads and neck together to see
who the stronger male is. The fights are not usually dangerous and ends when one admits de-
feat and walks away.
Giraffes can live for around 25 years in the wild.
Elephants
Elephants are the world’s largest land animal. They can reach up to 3m
tall and weigh between 4,000 -7,500kg.
Elephants grow ivory tusks which are like long teeth on their heads. Their tusks
continue to grow their whole life, so enormous tusks are a sign of an old ele-
phant.
Elephants spend up to 18 hours a day eating grass, plants and fruit. They use
their long trunks to smell their food and lift it up into their mouth.
Elephants use sand and mud as sunscreen which they throw over themselves to protect their skin from the hot sun.
A baby elephant is called a calf.
Elephant can hear each other’s calls up to 5 miles away.
The Springbok
Springbok live on open plains, grasslands, scrublands, deserts and semi-arid are-
as.
They can be about 1.5 to 2 metres in length, 71 to 89 centimetres in height and
weigh between 30 and 48 kilograms.
A springbok has reddish-brown hairs on the back, white hairs on the sides of the
body and belly and dark brown horizontal line in the middle. It has a white face and
two brown lines that stretch from the eyes to the corner of the mouth.
They have long, pointed ears, a long neck and a slender body. Lyre-shaped horns can be seen both in
males and females (they are longer and thicker in males).
Springbok are active at dusk and dawn (crepuscular animal).
They are herbivores (plant-eaters). Their diet is based on grass, leaves, flowers, roots and tubers.
Springbok are one of the fastest animals on the planet. They can reach speed of 97 kilometres per hour.
They can often be seen jumping up and down like bouncing balls, stretching their front and rear legs simulta-
neously and bending their heads down. (This is called 'pronking').
Natural enemies of springboks are cheetahs, leopards, hyenas and lions.
A baby springbok is called a calf.
Springbok can survive up to 10 years in the wild.
