Curriculum

Or perhaps it is a children's picture book in which dinosaurs rise up from beneath the earth to sweep up and dispose of all the rubbish that humanity has produced and the ruins of our industrial society. Then, since dinosaurs are apparently keen gardeners, they turn our plant into a lush paradise, that is somewhat implausibly suitable for both people and dinosaurs to enjoy in harmony, with neither people being eaten nor Sauropod eggs for breakfast in my memory there was an extensive series of pictures showing dinosaurs sweeping rubbish into volcanoes, ripping out motorways like so much old carpet, however upon re-inspection it proved that my imagination had substantially embellished the original in my memory. Spelling Seeds have been designed to complement Writing Roots by providing weekly, contextualised sequences of sessions for the teaching of spelling that include open-ended investigations and opportunities to practise and apply within meaningful and purposeful contexts, linked (where relevant) to other areas of the curriculum and a suggestion of how to extend the investigation into home learning. The book begins with the lines: “A man stood on a hill and looked at a star. All he thought about, dreamed about, was the star.” It follows a businessman who will do anything to travel to space, even if he has to destroy his own planet to get there. When he finally reaches the faraway star – a barren planet with “no trees, no flowers, and not a blade of grass” – he starts to think that maybe Earth wasn’t that bad in the first place. Hello! We have written a introduction letter to explain the format of the blog and to try and help you navigate it. Please do take the time to read through this before looking at the blog as we hope that it will help make it easier to navigate what is clearly a low of new information!

Sheet – Use the number lines on the worksheet and make up a ‘first, then, now story’ The first story has been done as an example. Houses Sheet– The numbers in the roofs of the houses are effectively part part whole models. Do draw the lines between the parts and the whole if this helps your child. Use these numbers to fill in the fact families.Again, as was said yesterday this can be a difficult concept so do use counting objects and 2 tens frames to support them if needed. Video– This is a lesson on related facts and fact families. In this lesson, they will work practically to find links between the addition and subtraction sentences. They will represent this on ten frames using small objects. They should recognise that addition and subtraction are inverse operations. (if you would like to view the powerpoint used in the video it is here).

Kindly the Dinosaur explains to the man that the Earth belongs to everyone and in turn everyone is responsible for looking after it. dinosaurs with the intricacy of puppetry one would expect from a marionette.

Phonics sheet here– Complete the sheet using some of the sounds looked at this week, wh ph ir and tch. At the bottom, complete the phoneme spotter. Essentially it is like that classic documentary One Million Years BC, but with better dinosaurs, more rubbish and without Raquel Welsh, or indeed anybody else in furry underwear. Let Me Learn Discuss how you learned to make a jam sandwich. Was it listening to instructions, watching someone else, doing it yourself or a mix? Do they know how they like to learn?Introduce a map of UK or show in an Atlas. Start with the UK then show the countries that make up the UK. Point out that Scotland and Wales are attached but Ireland is an island. Then ask where do we live? Find Bristol on the map together. Ask children if they know the capital of the UK and find London together. Watch the whole story now from beginning to end, ready for some more work about this book next week. For the following session you can use an atlas if you have one or use this online tool: https://kids.britannica.com/kids/browse/atlas
