Maple Class home learning for Monday 15th June 2020
Spellings – when adding a vowel suffix to words ending in an e, drop the e and add the suffix (like live+ed = lived, amaze+ing = amazing). Try these words and put into sentences:
Use+ing= , nice+est=, arrive+al=, store+age=, like+en=
English – this week we will try and improve our drama and story telling skills. Can you act out a well know fairy story for someone at home to guess? Do you need any props to help? Are there any famous sayings you could repeat to help someone guess (e.g. “what big ears you have grandma” – from Little Red Riding Hood).
Maths – this week we are learning about Fractions. Can you explore different ways to find a half today? What does it look like? How would you write it? Can you cut your sandwich in half? Can you share your crisps in half? Can you draw some shapes and fold them in half. Can you make a Lego model that is half one colour and half another? Remember each half must be equal.
Theme – this week we will be thinking about the climate and geography of Mexico. Below is a list of suggestions, pick an activity you are interested in.
– where in the world is Mexico? Find out which continent it is in.
– What is the capital city of Mexico?
– What does Mexico look like? Can you draw the shape of the country and label the capital city?
– Which oceans are near Mexico? Can you label them on your map?
– What does the flag of Mexico look like? Can you make your own Mexican flag? You could use pencils, paint, collage materials, chalks.
– What would you like to learn/find out about Mexico? Write some questions to explore and answer over this half term.
– What is the weather like in Mexico today? Can you research on the internet to find out? Is it warmer or cooler than England? How would you describe the weather in Mexico? How does it compare to the weather at home? What is the temperature in Mexico? Is the temperature in England higher or lower?
– What is the population of Mexico? How many people live there? (How many people live in England?)
– Can you name some rivers in Mexico?
