| Literacy Activity – A map making treasure hunt!
Make a map of a room, the inside of your house, or your garden. Write the names next to the different objects and areas on your map so that people can see where to go- you might even want to write sentences as clues for example; ‘On top of the desk’. You might want to add x marks and hide your favourite toys or other items for your grown-ups to find! Your map might look a little something like this…

| Maths Activity – comparing size
Choose from the following activities- (you might even want to try a few over the next few weeks!): • Find your dolls, teddies, play figures etc. Line them up from the tallest to the shortest.
•Use a spoon as a measuring device. Go around and see if things are the same size, shorter or longer than the spoon. • Why not make a paper chain. Talk about this getting, longer, the more you add. You could measure it. You could also count the links together? • Who is the tallest in your house? Who is the shortest and who is in the middle? • Can you make a list or a collection of teeny, tiny things? What other words describe small? • Which things are larger than e.g. a cow? Could it be a bus, a whale, a house, a car etc? Make a list or draw things. • Make long and short play dough worms and snakes.
Important vocabulary: Long, longer, shorter, short, wide, narrow, big, little, huge, immense, giant, minute, tiny, teeny, same, taller…. Can you think of any more size words? Did you enjoy these challenge ideas? They were taken from another excellent, free ‘Learning at home’ pack by TTS. |

Week 7 Home Learning Pictures
It has been another busy week for everyone in F2. We’re so proud of how well everyone is adapting to this change to routine and continuing to do so with such positivity. Please continue to keep in touch as we love to hear from you (scholesf2@spherefederation.org).
We’re very impressed at seeing and hearing about all the additional skills you are learning during this time. Such as riding a bike, cartwheeling, sewing, designing tree houses, caring for plants, fruit and vegetables in your allotments/gardens and we’re seeing lots of creative tasks too. All of these additional activities support you child’s Characteristics of Effective Learning (CoEL). There are 3 CoEL:
- playing and exploring – children investigate and experience things, and ‘have a go’;
- active learning – children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties, and enjoy achievements; and
- creating and thinking critically – children have and develop their own ideas, make links between ideas, and develop strategies for doing things.
The focus of the CoEL is on how children learn rather than what they learn i.e. process over outcome. Underpinning the CoEL is the understanding that during their earliest years, children form attitudes about learning that will last a lifetime. This will support them to become creative, and adventurous learners throughout their lives.
Professor Myers challenges you!

Literacy
Story of the week: What the ladybird heard by Julia Donaldson
Can you design a wanted poster for the baddies – Lanky Len and Hefty Hugh?
Extra ideas for at home
Can you make your own farm? It could be on the floor, a table top or in a tray. You could get a big piece of paper and draw out the landscape. What crops will you have? Different cloths, e.g. a clean duster could be a field. Will there be a farm house? You could make this from an old box, such as a shoe box. Where will the cows and horses go? Does the farm need fences to keep the animals safe? A little pond could be made from a circular, small tub, perhaps a margarine tub. This is where the ducks might like to be. What’s a baby duck called?
You may have some toy farm animals but if not you could create your own. Draw and cut them out. Imagine a cotton wool sheep or a pom pom sheep. What patterns do cows have? What is a group of cows called?
When you have created your farm act out stories together. What might happen if someone leaves the gate open? Perhaps you can go looking for the hen’s eggs in the straw (chopped up old newspaper).
