Maple Class

Maple Class home learning for Friday 15th May 2020.

Spellings – when adding ly to words which end in y, change the y to an i before adding the ly (like happy=happily, easy=easily). Try these words, and put into sentences:

Hungry, weary, heavy, day, angry, necessary 

English – visit Purple Mash – English – SPAG – Grammar – Grammar Games – Flying High – Word splits game. Can you sort the individual words into the correct boxes (nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs)? Can you do it again and beat your time (see the time counting down at the bottom of the screen)? Can you beat the time it takes someone in your family to complete the game?

Maths – today I would like you to have a try at the multiplication and division challenge cards (see photos). Do as many as you can, or maybe write some of your own. 

Theme – this week we will be learning all about some Japanese arts and crafts. Below is a suggested list of activities to choose from, maybe pick one a day to explore. 

  • Can you follow the instructions carefully to make an origami model? Visit www.redtedart.com/easy-origami-for-kids  and pick a design that interests you. 
  • Can you draw, paint or collage a Japanese blossom tree? 
  • Can you make a Japanese Zen garden? A Japanese Zen garden is traditionally a rock garden made up of just rocks and sand, although plants may be used. Patterns are made in the sand to represent rippling water. To make your own miniature garden you will need:
  • A small box (we used a chocolate box)
  • Sand (playpit sand is perfect) or fine gravel
  • Pebbles
  • A fork 
  • Fill your box halfway to the rim with sand. Use your fork to draw a pattern in the sand. Arrange your pebbles. (Fine gravel can be used instead of sand).
  • Can you craft a Samurai sword and helmet? Visit www.activityvillage.co.uk/samurai-sword-craft 
  • Can you cut out and fold the Japanese paper dolls? Go to free-paper-dolls.com and search “Japanese paper dolls”. 
  • Can you make Godzilla, following the instructions and recycling a toilet roll tube? Visit www.dltk-kids.com/world/japan/mgodzilla.htm 
  • Can you learn and perform the song “My Fish Kite”? Visit www.childfun.com/themes/world/japan 

Remember to post something you are proud of in the sharing assembly post, I love to see what you’ve been doing. 
Take care, Mrs Keeler.
