Maple Class

Maple Class home learning for Tuesday 19th May 2020

Spellings – before adding ‘er’ and ‘est’ to words ending in a consonant, followed by a ‘y’, change the ‘y’ to an ‘i’ (like lazy=lazier, lovely=loveliest). Try these words, and put into sentences:

Sandy, happy, curly, crazy, fancy, dry

English – today we will think about full stops. Can you explain to someone else when we use full stops? Be a full stop detective and see how many you can find. Look back through your home learning book. Have you put all the full stops in the right place? If you’ve missed some, add them in now. 

Maths – today can you identify left and right? Can you point to the left and the right? Can you put your favourite soft toy to your right? Can you jump to your left? Look at the true/false photo? Is the bug to the right of the turkey? Can you design your own true or false question with a grid picture? 

Theme – this week you will be in charge of your own learning about Japan. Below are some suggestions, but feel free to come up with your own ideas:

  • Did you write some questions about things you wanted to know about Japan in week 1? Have you answered them? If not, complete some research to find out. 
  • Research what animals are native to Japan. Have you seen any of them before? Draw and label some pictures. 
  • Make a presentation of everything you’ve learnt about Japan. It could be in the form of a poster, leaflet or you could tell someone else all you know. Maybe write a letter to a friend or family member to tell them, or make a call, FaceTime, Skype. 
  • Karaoke originated in Japan – why not hold a karaoke party with your family and sing along to your favourite songs. 
  • Write your own quiz about Japan.
  • Compare living in Japan to living in England. What would be the same? What would be different? 
  • Would you like to visit Japan. Tell someone else why or why not? 
  • Look at some of the other classes previous suggested activities on Japan – is there a craft activity you would like to try? 

I can’t wait to see how you round up your research and learning on Japan. Please email me or post on the Maple class facebook posts with what you’ve been up to. 

Thank you, Mrs Keeler.
