Maths – symmetry

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/ztpyr82

Use a mirror (if you have one – don’t worry if not) to look round your house for any line of symmetry. Think about what shapes could be folded in half without any overlap. Would each half be a mirror image of itself? eg a window, a table. Take photos, draw them or write a list.

Challenge

Draw a butterfly. Complete the pattern on one half first and then try to copy the pattern on the other half to create a symmetrical pattern.

Reading

Read the farewell letters from each teacher.

Dear 1,2V

I cannot believe we will not get to say a proper goodbye to each other. I hope you are all safe and happy and looking forward to the summer holidays. We will see each other when we all get back to school, even if we are in different classes. Miss you!

Love Mrs Latham

 

Dear 2KN

I am sad that you’re leaving year two but I’m so glad I got to teach you all. We have had so much fun together and I am proud of each and every one of you. Keep being you.

From

Miss Lowry & Mrs Lake

 

Dear 1K

It may not be the end of year we expected but it has been a pleasure to teach you all. I hope you all have a wonderful and well earned break over the summer holidays. I’m looking forward to seeing you all once we return to school.

From Miss Parling

 

Dear 1,2

You will always hold a special place in my heart because you are my first class. I cannot believe that we will not get to say a proper goodbye to each other. It’s time to enjoy the summer holidays! I’m looking forward to seeing you all when we return to school.

Love Miss Harker

Maths : time

Think about how long it takes you to do an activity.

Look at the clock when you start and when you finish and work out how much time has gone past. Which activities take the longest amount of time? What activities are quick? Record some of your activities and how long they take in your home learning book.

How many star jumps can you do in 1 minute? Use this to estimate how many you could do in 10 minutes!

Think about what time you do certain activities during the day. What time do you have lunch, go to bed, watch the television? You could make a diary of your day.

Practice reading both analogue and digital clocks.

Reading

Read the different ways of saying goodbye in different languages. Can you find any more?

Talk about the message in the video.

Well, we really didn’t think we would be seeing in the final week of summer term 2020 like this. We are all really sad that we couldn’t say goodbye to our classes like we usually do… with a ‘beach party’, extra-long Wake Up Shake Up sessions, games, movies and having fun with our friends. Each teacher has recorded a message for their class to say goodbye and that we will see you again in September, just not in our classes. We have also made you a poster with all your names on so you have something to remember us by!

Reading

So long, farewell (from the Sound of Music)

There’s a sad sort of clanging
From the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple, too
And up in the nursery

An absurd little bird
Is popping out to say coo-coo
(Coo-coo, coo-coo)

coo-coo Regretfully they tell us
coo-coo But firmly they compel us
coo-coo To say goodbye
To you

So long, farewell
Auf wiedersehen, goodnight
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight
So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, adieu
Adieu, adieu
To you and you and you
So long, farewell
Au revoir, auf Wiedersehen
I’d like to stay
And taste my first champagne
Yes?
No!

So long, farewell
Auf Wiedersehen, goodbye
I leave and heave
A sigh and say goodbye
Goodbye
I’m glad to go
I cannot tell a lie
I flit, I float
I fleetly flee, I fly
The sun has gone
To bed and so must I
So long, farewell
auf Wiedersehen, goodbye

Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
