Red Area Weekly Learning Project – Monday 6th July 2020

LONDON – OUR CAPITAL CITY

WEEKLY HOME LEARNING

Over the week, please try to complete at least 3 ‘starter’ and 3 ‘Main’ tasks for English and Maths. Please complete a daily fitness task and at least 2 other challenges by Friday.

MAIN ENGLISH TASKS MAIN MATHS TASKS

MAIN READING TASKS MAIN WRITING TASKS This week we are going to revise finding fractions of amounts and numbers. See Resource 6 for a fraction wall to support you with finding fractions of amounts. You will need some small objects to help too (counters/pasta/lego etc).

Task 1 – Reading for pleasure As well as reading books of your choice for pleasure at home, this week we would like you to read The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse (See PDF on school closure website page) Task 2 – VIPERS After reading The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse: Infer: How do you think the main character was feeling at each stage of the story? Draw a picture of them and write their thoughts in a thought bubble. Explain: Do you like the ending of the story or would you change it? Why/why not? Write or draw a picture of an alternative ending for the story. Please upload a photo of this task to Google Classroom. Summarise: Design your own front cover for the story. What picture will you draw on the cover to excite your reader but will not give away how the story ends? Task 3 – Comprehension After reading the Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, answer the reading comprehension questions (Resource 3).

Listen to the story: Katie in London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmrNxvC9bb4

Task 1 What sort of character is the lion? How do you know? Use Resource 1 to write adjectives and phrases to describe him. Things to do with his appearance should go on the outside of his body and things to do with his personality should go on the inside. Task 2 In the story Katie and Jack travel with the lion to many different London landmarks. Can you draw a story map to show the events of the story in order? See Resource 2 for an example of a story map. Task 3 Using your story map from Task 2, can you retell the story in your own words?

PICK AND MIX – FOUNDATION SUBJECT TASKS PE/Fitness: London was host for the 2012 Olympic games. Choose a few of your favourite sports to play with your family. The London Marathon takes place every year where runners have to run 26 miles around the city. You could have a go at running the daily mile for a week this week. PE with Joe Wicks – search on YouTube Cosmic Kids Yoga – search on YouTube Just Dance – search on YouTube

DT: Use junk materials and craft supplies to create your own London landmark.

Art: Create a piece of art based on the London skyline. You could use chalk pastels:

You could use pencil crayons/felt tips:

You could use paint and silhouettes:

Geography/History Use the London Underground map and accompanying question (Resource 5). Did you know that the London Underground was the world’s first underground rail system and was opened in January 1863! Here is a video of how it developed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pMX7EkAhoA Today the London Underground (often known as the ‘Tube’) handles up to 5 million passenger journeys a day! Have a discussion at home about how the London Underground map works and what the different colours mean. Now try looking for the different stations and routes in the questions. You could challenge someone at home to find some other stations and routes.

History: Our current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II lives in London at Buckingham Palace. She is 93 years old and is now a mother, grandmother and great grandmother. Find out about their family tree here https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23272491 Can you draw a simple family tree for Queen Elizabeth II? Including: Queen Elizabeth II Prince Philip Prince Charles Diana Camilla William and Catherine Harry and Meghan George, Charlotte, Louis and Archie

Geography: Watch the video https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/geography-ks1-ks2-transport-travel-and-landmarks-of-london/zhttscw Ask an adult to help you find the different landmarks and places they have visited on a map. Draw your own simple sketch map showing some different landmarks and the River Thames. See Resource 5 below for ideas.

Music Listen to this clip about London https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8jkU-s5BM0c The end of the video has some key vocabulary – can you name the famous landmark linked to London? Now try writing your own London Landmark song or rap to perform. London is famous for its ‘West End’ where there are lots of theatres and performances. You could turn your living room into a theatre to perform your song/rap to an audience.

Year 1 – you need to be able to find unit fractions (1/2 and 1/4) of an amount.

Year 2 – you need to be able to find unit fractions (1/2 1/3 and 1/4) of an amount and non-unit fractions (2/3 3/3 2/4 3/4 4/4) of an amount.

Example question –

Find ¼ of 8

Step 1: What is the whole?

8 is our whole number so

we need to place 8 counters

on the whole section on the

fraction wall.

Step 2: We are finding quarters

so we need to move each

counter systematically to the

quarter sections of the wall.

After sharing – check that there

is the same amount of counters

in each section. If there is not,

you need to repeat this step.

Step 3: We wanted to know

what ¼ of 8 is. Check how

many counters are now in 1

of our ¼ sections.

Answer: ¼ of 8 = 2

Year 2 – you may have

questions where you need

to find non-unit fractions so

you would need to check

how many counters in more

than one section.

EG

2/4 of 8 = 4

3/4 of 8 = 6

4/4 of 8 = 8
