English (Science link for this unit) KEY TASK:

We’re continuing our unit of work on Poetry this week!

LO: To write a poem based on ‘The Sound Collector’ by Roger

McGough.

The Sound Collector comes to Dandeville

Start each line with a CAPITAL LETTER

Spell words with –ing correctly

Use neat handwriting

Use wow words (adjectives/powerful verbs –ing words)

Challenge: Can you make your 2nd and 4th line rhyme in each

verse?

If you want more… remember BBC Bitesize will be putting

daily learning onto their website at https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize

There are daily English lessons there if you would prefer to do those activities – go to:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/tags/zjpqqp3/year-1-lessons/1

BBC iPlayer and the Red Button service will also host Bitesize Daily – 20 minute shows for all ages!

Over 2 days - Read Christopher Nibble story. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YS1rRl7m6g In the opening pages of the book we are introduced to the town of Dandeville and the lives of its guinea pig population. The main pastime, it would seem, is munching and nibbling – already two wonderfully sounding words. Generate a storm of ideas about the sounds they might hear walking through the town’s streets. Perhaps the clinking of glasses as they sip dandelion juice in the warm sun, the slurping of dandelion soup from the local restaurant, the crunching of dandelion cookies

Using Sound Collector poem as a model, create your own poem together – take a couple of days to write your poem.

A visitor entered Dandeville Along the daisy track He put every sound that he could hear Into a large green sack

...and off you head into a super list poem of all those sounds you have collected together.

Day.

celebrating and

why it is an

important day?

It is 75 years

since the first

VE Day.

Go through the

PowerPoint on

the blog to find

out more.

Art Using pencil, charcoal or

chalk, create observational sketches of plants – both

pot plants and plants in the garden.

Look carefully at the shapes that create the leaves

and encourage

simple sketches.

Geography Comparing our country to another

country – Ghana! Show the photos on the blog of life in

Ghana and the UK. Using two or three examples, discuss the photos,

focussing on specific features in each, and ask

your child to decide which country they think each comes from. If you’ve

printed them, place them on the table under headings of Ghana or UK.

If not printed, just discuss them. Ensure your child gives appropriate

justification for their choices and encourage

them to note the similarities in the photos as well as what tells them

apart. Continue the activity with the rest of the photos.

RE Where do you like to go that is special

to you? Discuss where they like to go

to be quiet, to feel peaceful. How do they feel when they are in their

special places? What do they think about? Ask your child to

picture their special place and to remind themselves why they like

being there so much. Draw, paint or write about

their special place, explaining to a grown up why it is so special and

important to them.

Music Can you learn our National Anthem?

God save the queen.

Computing IT around us – Where have we seen IT in the world

around us? Would you be likely to find IT at the shops, in a forest, in

offices, and at a beach? Sort these images of IT into where you’d likely find them:

Next write a sentence or two about the

images. They should describe where the IT is

found, what it is used for, and how it operates. Challenge – can you think of a job where IT may not be used? (Hint – most jobs will use

some form of IT, even if it’s just a telephone)
