Maths
Brain workout – tell me….is a quarter a half and then half again?  

Try it with a square piece of paper – make half and half again to see if you get 4 equal parts! 

Today is the last part of our learning on Fractions for a while. We are finding quarters of an amount today (part 2).  

Just as you found halves of an amount by sharing it into 2 groups, when you find quarters you need to make sure you share into 4 equal groups!  

Now go to https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/ 

Open up Summer Term Week 2 and go to Lesson 3 finding quarter (part 2) 

Play the video and complete Flashback 4 (week 3 day 3) first and then you can have a go at the activity – see below attached.

How many ways can you find quarters at home?

Mrs Smart’s group  

We have been looking at the well-known story about a little boy’s lost toy dog –Dogger by Shirley Hughes and we have planned our own story on this theme.  

Today you are going to start writing your story!  

Remember to make your story interesting to read and USE YOUR PLAN! 

Start at the beginning – this is where you set the scene and introduce your characters. Answer the questions, who, where, when, why? 

The middle – this is where the action is! Your character discovers they have lost their toy! Discuss feelings, what they do and what happens and who is involved. Use lots of powerful verbs, adjectives and adverbs. 

The end – this is where you need to solve your problem and say how the toy is found! Again remember to put lots of description of feelings and emotion to make your story interesting.  

Have fun writing – I can’t wait to see them!

Topic 

Todays learning intention is ‘I know that animals are carnivores, herbivores or omnivores’. 

You may remember these terms from Reception when you were learning about dinosaurs. Yesterday we grouped animals according to their similarities and features. Today we are going to learn that we can group animals according to what they eat! 

Here is a song to help you remember https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yrikH2QEFA  

Carnivores eat mainly meat.  (carne means flesh in Latin) This includes insects and all animals. Some examples of carnivores are; felines (lions, tigers and all cats), birds of prey (eagles, hawks, owls etc), sharks, frogs and spiders. 

Omnivores (omni means all in Latin) eat meat and plants. Examples are; most humans, some bears, racoon, most primates (apes and monkeys), pigs, seagulls (who will try to eat anything) and other birds. 

Herbivores (herba means grass in Latin) eat mainly plants. This includes leaves, grass, flowers, seeds, roots, fruits, bark, pollen and much more! Some examples of herbivores are; horses, deer, rabbits, cows, bees, sheep and grasshoppers. 

Teeth 
Often, teeth can be a giveaway as to what category an animal fits. This isn't always the case, but herbivores more typically have flatter teeth for grinding up vegetation (plants), while carnivores will have sharp teeth for tearing up meat. Many omnivores will have some combination of the two, allowing for easier eating and digestion of their food sources 

I would like you to draw a Venn diagram (this looks like two circles just overlapping the middle. See example saved below) in your book or on a piece of paper. Label one circle carnivore and the other herbivore. The small middle section, where the circles overlap, is the omnivore section. This is because they eat meat and plants.Write down as many animals in the correct sections as you can think of. Try to use the correct spellings. You can do a bit of research on the Internet or in encyclopaedias if you have one at home too if you run out of ideas. If you have pictures or small toys then you could use those to short too.  

Click the link below. This game tests your knowledge of which animals are carnivores, herbivores or omnivores, give it a go!
