As your child’s well being is more important than ever we will be providing 5 suggestions for wellbeing activities each week, based on the NHS idea of “Five to Thrive”. These areas are: They are devastated by what they see and set out to remove all the man made roads, pilons, factories to help clean up all the rubbish.

This is a great thought provoking story which can be enjoyed by children of all ages. The pictures are colourful, bright and friendly. Although published in 1972 the message of pollution and the importance of recycling remains the same and is probably even more relevant today. If they are finding the part part whole difficult try using counting objects instead or carry on reinforcing the tens frame method from yesterday. Sheet– same activity but focusing on numbers within 10. If your child is not ready to relate addition and subtraction yet. Please just focus on finding the addition number sentences to go with each picture, using the rule of commutativity (e.g. 2+3=5 so 3+2=5)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. 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. 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. 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).

Discuss the sentences first and children to write them. Remember capital letters and full stops. ****Please submit this piece to Google Classroom*** For the following session you can use an atlas if you have one or use this online tool: https://kids.britannica.com/kids/browse/atlasDaily Well being: Connect – Post a card to a friend or family member: Ideas for how to make a home made card

Dinsaurs And All That Rubbish is a fantastic colourful and imaginative take on how to teach young children how important it is to look after the Earth. Talk about the difference between dreams we have when we are sleeping and dreams when we are awake, e.g. desires and aims.

Foreman uses unique concepts to bring to life truth about man's destruction of the Earth through industrail development. In the story a man looks into the sky and sees a shining star. He wishes to go and visit this new world in hope to find lushus landscapes willed with wonderful new life forms. Watch ‘ The Dinosaurs and all that Rubbish’ up to ‘Dancing dinosaurs broke up the roads.’ What do you think the dinosaurs would think of how the world looks now? What do you think they will want to do about it? 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?

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. 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.Video– shows the children how to add and subtract using a numberline (if you would like to view the powerpoint used in the video it is here). There are also some question prompts in the corner of the slides for further discussion.
