Home Learning

Dove Pippin

Week beginning 18th May 2020

Well done for all the amazing Supertato creations and stories last

week! Thank you for your continued support and updates, we really

do love seeing all the different things you all get up to on Tapestry.

As always, these activities are ideas to continue learning over this

week and there are no expectations. We would encourage a bit of

reading, writing, maths and some physical activity each day if you

can. Do what you can when you can. Mostly importantly have fun,

take care and stay safe

This week we have linked our learning grid with the Key Stage 1

learning grid and we have a ‘Stem Special’ focus. Stem stands for

science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Here are some ideas for continuing your learning at home:

Sharing Stories

If you have a copy of one of the

‘If I Built a…’ stories at home at home, it would

be lovely to share this together to support this

week’s STEM learning.

Here are a couple stories to listen to online:

Hop Scotch

Create your own hop scotch and

complete it. Can you use

numbers 1-20 and change the

different starting points? (e.g

7-15 or 12-19) Can you count

backwards? Why not make

another one and add some

twirls, skips or jumps!

Engineer Design

Can you design and draw your

own playground? What would you

have? Rollercoasters? Swimming

pools? Water slides? Robot Ice

Cream Makers? Bouncy Castles?

Can you have a go at making your

playground using recycled items,

cellotape and paper?

Can you label or explain your

design to an adult?

Engineering Bridge Challenge

Can you build a bridge? Using only paper, card,

string and sticky tape, can you build a bridge of at

least 30cms that can support the weight of a toy

car or figure? What about the weight of a tin of

beans?

Wish Jar

If you have an empty jar at home, can you and your

family members write two wishes each for when the

lockdown is over? They can be anything you like such

as things you would like to do, people you would like to

see/visit or places you would like to go.

After, you could even decorate your wish jar!

Ice Experiment

Put some toys in a bowl or cup of water and

freeze them overnight. How are you going to save

the toys? Explore the ice and the changes

throughout the day. Can you explain the changes

that are happening to an adult? What might

happen if you add salt to the ice?

Subtraction Chilli Challenges

Which of these number sentences can you

calculate? You might use objects, towers, sweets

or a numberline to help you work them out or you

might even count backwards in your head. Can

you think of your own number sentences?

Mug Brownies

If you have a microwave you could try making a

mug brownie. The simple brownie recipe and

method link is below. Can you help to weigh out

the ingredients? Can you give your brownies

marks out of 10?

your own ice lollies!

Writing Instructions

Can you write three instruction sentences for the

method you used? Don’t forget to use finger spaces

between words and use your sound mats.

Bottle Bowling

Recycle some old plastic bottles or cups and use them

to make an indoor or outdoor bowling lane. Give each

bottle a different number value and see if you can

recognise the numbers you knock over. Can you add

the scores together to see which family member can

score the highest?

Can you include the teen numbers?

R.E - Creation

Christians believe that God created the world and

everything in it in seven days. On the fourth day they

believe God created the sun to go in the sky during the day

time and the moon and stars to go in the sky at night time.

Can you draw a picture of day four and label it?

Egg Drop - Eggsperiment Challenge

This an eggmazing egg drop challenge for you to

show off your ingenuity design skills. Can you

design and make a package out of household items

that will keep an egg from breaking when it is

dropped from 3 meters in the air. You can use

different materials to project the egg and make

a package strong enough to withstand the fall.

Good Luck! Some helpful ideas are attached.

Laser Quest Maze

Can you create your own DIY Laser maze? You could

use string, wool or ribbon like you might see in a spy

film. Challenge your family to get through the maze

without touching any of the ‘lasers’. Who is the

sneakiest? Now… how can you make it harder?

Stick Model

When you go out for your daily exercise, collect lots

of sticks and twigs and see what you can create!

Texture Hunt

different textures? Can you find things which are

smooth, rough, soft, squishy, bumpy, hard, sticky

and cold.

Can you explain the textures and different

materials to an adult or make a video?

with your body. What different noises can you make?

the letters in your name? You can use the

alphabet workout list attached for some ideas or

doubling 3,2,5,7 and 6. Can you write the number

sentence to match the mirror doubles?
