Today's song choice goes back to the 1970's ... 1971 infact!

 

Rockin' Robin

 

Don't forget to really work those fingers! This song is quite short so you might want to play it twice.

 

Maths - 'Growing 6, 7, 8!'

 

But let's get working out with our song of the week.

 

Jack Hartman - Count to 20 and workout

 

Lesson 3 - Composition of 8

 

Today you are going to be investigating ways to make 8. 

 

Growing 6, 7, 8!

Try the activity below after the lesson. How can you represent 8? 

 

Challenge activity

Visit the Twinkl website to play the 'Press the Button' game.

twinkl go

Enter the code DR2579.

There are different levels of the game start look for 'Number bonds to 5' then try Number bonds to 6, 7 and 8. 

When I loaded it up it was a little slow to load, I think that's because the site is so popular.

Additional maths for Growing 6, 7, 8!

 

Andy's Wild Workouts

 

We have another wild workout today

 

 Andy's Wild Workouts - Under the Sea

 

Which will be your favourite move today?

 

KUW: Polar Bear Facts and Why Don't Polar Bears Feel Cold Experiment

 

We are going to be finding out a bit more about polar bears. There is a video to watch and a PowerPoint to look at. Afterwards you can have a go at drawing a polar bear (you don't have to) but I would like you to try and write one simple fact about polar bears just like you did last week when writing about the egg.

 

Look at the Powerpoint below about Polar Bears and watch the 'All Things Animal TV' episode about polar bears. 

 

Animals for Kids - Polar Bear

 

Have a go at drawing a polar bear using 'How to draw a polar bear' guide below.

 

Think of a fact about polar bears.

 

Hold a sentence with your grown-up using your fact e.g it can swim.

 

Write your fact under your picture.

 

If your child does this confidently they could have a go at another fact. If your child doesn't want to draw the polar bear first that's fine. They can still write their fact. They could use the red book that was in the home learning pack to draw their picture and write their sentence.

 

Why don't polar bears feel cold?

 

To find out why polar bears don't feel cold try the activity below in the files section.

You don't need the toy polar animals that is just to introduce the idea of the activity. It's okay just to talk about them.

 

 

 

Have a lovely day,

 

Mrs Rogers
