English (Mr Gum) Maths (Length) Connected Curriculum (all week)

Mon Making predictions

Read ‘English resource 1’ (1 page) which tells

us about Jake the dog in Mr Gum’s garden.

What could Mr Gum do to stop Jake ruining

his garden?

Write down at least 3 different ways Mr

Gum could stop Jake. Try to include lots of

details.

Find a ruler or a tape measure. Make sure it shows

centimetres not inches.

Measure the length of 10 things in your house in

centimetres (e.g. 75cm) or metres and centimetres

(e.g. 1m 32cm). Measure to the nearest centimetre.

Write down your measurements in a chart, ordering

them from smallest to largest. e.g.

Object Length

Battery 5cm

Pencil 9cm

Science (Plants)

Options

1) If possible, set up the seed

investigation in Science

Resource 1. Larger seeds like

broad beans or peas work best

and can be bought in packs in

supermarkets.

2) Find the seeds! Can you find

the seeds in fruits and

vegetables? Can you grow a

plant from them?

* Soak the seeds in water for a

day or two to remove any ‘gunk’

* Leave them to dry out

thoroughly

* Plant them in soil and keep

them watered

3) Flower/bird hunt

Use the flower and bird

identification sheets on the

Blackbird Home Learning page

to try and name flowers and

birds in your local area.

Tue Understanding a text

Read ‘English Resource 2’ (2 pages).

Look at ‘English Resource 3’ and answer the

questions.

Equivalent measures – metres & centimetres

1 metre (m) = 100 centimetres (cm)

Look at Maths Resource 1. Choose one of the 3 sets

of questions (easier, medium or harder) to complete.

If you want a further challenge, do the extension on

the following page. If you are finding it tricky, try

the worksheet on the Home Learning page.

Wed Planning a description

Billy William the Third runs a disgusting

butcher’s shop.

Think of a shop of your own. It doesn’t have

to be disgusting and could even have

magical/fantasy things for sale. Look at

‘English Resource 4’ to help you plan your

ideas. (Don’t write all about it – you will do

that tomorrow.)

Equivalent measures – cm & mm

1 centimetre (cm) = 10 millimetres (mm)

Look at cm & mm on a ruler to help with these.

Look at Maths Resource 2. Choose one of the 3 sets

of questions (easier, medium or harder) to complete.

If you want a further challenge, do the extension on

the following page. If you are finding it tricky, try

the worksheet on the Home Learning page.

Thu Writing a description of a place

Look back at the shop plan you did

yesterday.

Describe your shop by writing a

paragraph about it.

Try to include:

* great vocabulary (words)

* prepositions of place

On the shelves were…

Against one wall was…

In the corner was…

Hanging from the ceiling were…

* lots of details

Find the perimeter

We find the perimeter of a shape by adding up all the

lengths around the shape.

Perimeter = 5 + 5 + 2 + 2 = 14cm

Find some square and rectangular shapes in your

house. Measure the length of each side and add them

together to find the perimeter.

Use column addition to add bigger

numbers together. e.g.

Book 18 + 18 + 12 + 12 = 60cm

R.E. (Sikhism)

What can you remember about

Sikhism? Watch the film to

refresh your memory. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/religious-studies-ks2-what-is-sikhism/zn4h382

Draw a picture of the Golden

Temple. You could copy the picture

on R.E. Resource 1, or if you want a

real challenge, try following one of

the video clips below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_uPxYsTJ5E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9gWmYcegySc

Geography/Art

Make a 3d model of one of the

buildings in your area, or your own

house. Use Google Streetview to

find a picture. You could make the

basic shape from cardboard and use

papier mache to cover it. When it

is dry, you could paint or decorate

it.

To make papier mache, mix water

and PVA glue (or flour) together to

make a runny paste. Then soak

pieces of newspaper or paper in the

paste and put on your model. Leave

to dry thoroughly before painting.

Fri Writing a description of a person

Think about the owner of the shop you

have created. Write a paragraph about

him or her. Think about:

* his/her name

* what he/she looks like

* how long they have owned the shop

* why they like or dislike owning the shop

Extension: What hopes and dreams does

the owner have for the future? Describe

them.

Practise your times tables!

Use TT Rockstars or

3) What does it sell?
