Good morning Class 2,
I hope you have a great Friday. Be careful on the ice!
Below are some learning activities for today.
English
| Learning Objective/Focus: | Instructions | |
| Main input | Link your instruction writing with your maths activity. Recap writing clear, short instructions. What will your instructions need to include? What will the layout look like? | |
| Activities MUST | Write brief instructions on how to play your fairytale board game. | |
| SHOULD | Write instructions for setting up your board game. What will people need? Include instructions on how to play. | |
| COULD | Create a video instruction guide for your fairytale board game. Remember to use bossy verbs and expression. | |
| Extension Activity Ideas | Design a storage box to support advertising your games to buyers. Think about what you might need to include on the box – what details will buyer want to know? How will you make it interesting to buyers? |
Maths
| Learning Objective/Focus: | Design a board game linked to fairytales | |
| Main input | Discuss making a game with numbered squares where you draw characters from fairytales- troll, wolf, little pig, gingerbread man and so on ( good and bad characters) on some squares but leave some blank with only numbers. Draw squares big enough to write in. | |
| Activities MUST | Use a dice and counters to move around the board. Write instructions on the picture squares to determine your move. Eg You meet a troll, jump back 3 squares. You land on Red Riding Hood, skip forward 2 squares. | |
| SHOULD | Make sure your board game has at least 100 squares. | |
| COULD | Add some number sentences to solve on certain squares. If the player gets the answer correct they move forward 2 spaces, if they get the answer incorrect they miss a turn until they get the answer correct. | |
| Extension Activity Ideas | Make the background colourful- forests, cottages, palaces etc Add some chance cards to the game board. The cards must include a mathematical question which if the player gets correct they receive a reward stated on the card. |
Foundation Subjects
| Subject | Art | |
| Learning Objective/Focus: | Representing differences in the four seasons | |
| Main input | Using an A4 sheet of paper by folding in to quarters, design a poster of the 4 seasons. Remember to include names of the months in each section eg December, January and February in Winter. | |
| Activities MUST | Draw an illustration which corresponds with the season- bare trees and icicles perhaps for Winter. Add key events; Harvest, Christmas, Valentine’s day etc. in the appropriate season. | |
| SHOULD | Make it colourful and think about “hot” and “cold” colours in your design. | |
| COULD | Recite and try to write out the rhyme “ 30 days has September” from memory. Research the rhyme if you are unsure. | |
| Extension Activity Ideas | Create a collage for your favourite season. Write an explanation for why it is your favourite. |
I look forward to playing your board games soon!
