English and Language Activities
Honey and Trouble: Thinking about characters in stories
Activity One –
Box up for purpose - In this lesson, we 'box up' our story of 'Honey and Trouble', focusing on how
the monkey feels at different points in the story, and what this tells us about his character.
Activity Two –
Explore how writers create interesting characters - In this lesson, we read a section of our
'Honey and Trouble' story as a writer, thinking of how the woman has been described, using our
writing toolkit, before adding to our monkey adjective list and writing independent sentences.
Activity Three –
Develop character in a story (Part 1) - In this lesson, we use our adjective list, and everything we
have learned from the character writing toolkit, to start writing a description of the monkey,
focusing first on his physical appearance and dress.
Maths Activities
Developing our maths skills of adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers
Remember you can use the 100-square from last week’s learning pack to help you.
Activity One –
Adding two 2-digit numbers - In this lesson we will be identifying which known number bonds will
help us to add two 2-digit numbers and use known facts to derive new addition facts.
If you wish, you can also have a go at the ’Adding two 2-digit numbers’ sheet below.
Activity Two –
Subtracting two 2-digit numbers - In this lesson we will be identifying which known number bonds
will help us subtract a 2-digit number from a 2-digit number.
After this session, if you wish, you can also have a go at the ’Subtracting two 2-digit numbers’ sheet
below.
Activity Three –
Exploring strategies to add three 1-digit numbers - In this lesson, we will be applying our
knowledge of strategies such as number bonds to 10 and 20, doubles and near doubles to add three
1-digit numbers. After this session, if you wish, you can also have a go at the ‘Adding three 1-digit
Numbers’ sheet below.
RE Activities
Come and See – Books
Week 3:
Talk about these books which are used in church and look at the provided images below.
• Altar Missal: the book that contains the prayers the priest uses during Mass.
• Lectionary: the book containing a collection of scripture readings.
• Book of the Gospels: the Gospel stories that are used for the celebration of Mass and
Sacraments.
• Hymn Books: used by the parish family to sing together
The Lectern is the stand from which the Word of God is proclaimed.
Task: Design a simple information leaflet about the books we use at church and describe how and
why these books are used.
Ongoing and online activities
The following activities are further consolidation of skills taught in class and can be completed daily
(10/15 minutes at the most).
Maths Skills Practise
Helicopter Rescue - Have a go at this
game to help you to identify and work
with numbers up to 100.
Measuring in Centimetres - Keep
working hard to learn to use a ruler
accurately.
Shifting Shapes – Can you name the
2D and 3D shapes? The game has a
draggable torch shining on a hidden
shape. You can move the torch to
guess the name of the shape and then
click the 'eye' to see if you were
right.
Abacus Active Learn –
You can continue to use the maths
games on abacus active learn.
Completed games are stored in the
library section for you to revisit.
Children’s usernames are the first
four letters of their first name and
the first four letters of their
surname.

Spelling Practise
Please see your child’s spelling
words sent via dojo message. You
could practice your spellings using
some of the ideas below:
Puzzle maker: Go onto this website,
enter the weekly spellings and then
have fun searching for them in the
puzzle.
Trace, Copy, Recall: Fold a piece of
paper into three columns and label
them trace, copy and recall. Write the
word in the first column and have your
child trace it. Next, get them to copy
the word in the next column by looking
back at the letters. Finally, get them
to fold and hide the first two columns
and practise writing the word in the
final column.
Spelling Word Race: Create two teams
with a player from each team taking
the ‘pen’ at a time. Someone calls out
the word and the two players race to
write the word first.
Phonics Practise
Watch and join in with this
lesson about ‘e-e’ Watch and join in with this
lesson about ‘ie’
Reading Practise
Oxford Owl eBook Library-
This eBook library is free for
parents, you will need to
register and create an account
for your child to access these
books.
Please have a go at the
suggested book title sent via
dojo message.
Topic Learning
Please see the activities on the ‘Dinosaurs Topic Grid’ below and complete one of the activities
during these three days.
Dinosaurs Topic Grid
Write a fact file about 1 or more dinosaurs.
Include: -name of dinosaur - what they eat - size
-what they look like
Create a picture of a dinosaur using collage
materials (for example paper, tissue paper,
straws, buttons, feathers, foil etc)
Draw a dinosaur using 2D shapes. You could
include a list of the shapes you have used. For a
challenge, describe their properties using
mathematical language such as sides and corners.
Find out what herbivore, carnivore and omnivore
means. Sort different dinosaurs into carnivores,
herbivores or omnivores. Put them into a table
headed carnivores/ herbivores / omnivores
listing them underneath.
Create some dinosaur
Maths problems: For example:
If one dinosaur has 4 legs, how many legs will 10
dinosaurs have?
Draw and label a dinosaur’s body parts
(leg, head, tail, horns etc)
Find 5 facts about Mary Anning.
You can decide how to present your work and the
fascinating facts you find.
Draw a picture of a fossil hunter and label the
tools they might take on a trip
(e.g magnifying glass, brush, chisel etc).
Write a list of 5 ‘golden rules’ for living in the
Jurassic Forest. These rules could suggest how
to behave and how to protect/look after the
environment.
Pretend that you have just returned from a
fossil hunt. Can you write about your adventure
as a fossil hunter.
Use ‘JIT’ by logging on to your HwB account and
design and draw your own dinosaur. Can you add
text to write about what it looks like, what it
eats and where it lives.
Make a 3D model of a dinosaur using
construction toys e.g. Lego or junk e.g.
cardboard boxes, bottles and yoghurt pots.
Take a photo to show what you made.
Find out which is the most popular dinosaur in
your house and record the results as a block
graph. You can use ‘JIT chart’ on HwB to help
you record your findings in a block graph.
P4C @ home – Listen to the story of ‘Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish’.
Think about; What does ‘trust’ mean?
Now think about how we are trusted to keep our environment clean i.e. picking up/putting rubbish in
bins, keeping our classroom tidy. Possibly extend into wider global theme of caring for our world.
Create a mind-map or poster to show others what we need to do to care for our environment.
To carry out any of the research activities you can use the Britannica Digital learning tool on HwB.
