Hello there!
Have a terrific Tuesday! Join in with this version of heads shoulders knees and toes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSdeIhmv6v0
Maths:
Rapid recap:
How many quarter turns can I make in a whole turn?
How many half turns can I make in a whole turn?
Yesterday we learnt how to make turns. We used our fraction learning to make quarter, half, three quarter and full turns. Today we are going to link this learning to our understanding of time. We are going to learn two new words: clockwise and anti-clockwise. These words tell us the direction of the turns we make and they are so called because of the way the hands move on a clock. We will be able to understand these words by remembering how we tell the time on a clock.
Watch the following videos to explain the meaning of clockwise and anti-clockwise and how to make turns in these directions:
Clockwise and anti-clockwise

Now complete the Clockwise-and-anticlockwise turns sheet. Practise making clockwise and anti-clockwise turns with the shapes. Follow the instructions to turn the shapes and cut and stick (or draw) the shape in its new position.

(Just do your groups work. If you normally do RWI, you can do the English task as an additional challenge after Speed Sounds)
Mrs Smart’s group
Yesterday we started to think about how to make a habitat. A habitat is a place where something lives. You have researched a pet that you need to “create” the right habitat for. I’d like you to have a go at making a habitat for this pet! Just use what you have available at home (or if you go outside) to show what this habitat must include. Think about areas in your habitat with different textures like water, rocks floor coverings etc. Will you need to include a light or a heater? Have a look at the sheet called Make your own habitat attached for some ideas!
You have 2 days to make your habitat so I hope you have lots of fun making it! At the end of the week we are going to write a set of instructions to show someone else how to create a habitat so think about that while you are making it! Have fun and please send me pictures of your habitats 😊

Topic
Just like plants, humans have ‘parts’ too! Each part of our body has a ‘function’ which means it has a special job. Did you join in with the song at the top? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSdeIhmv6v0
The learning intention today is ‘I know the parts of the human body' Watch this video https://www.bbc.com/bitesize/clips/zsjsbk7
Human bodies come in all shapes and sizes but mostly we all have the same parts. Some people might need extra help to hear, walk or see for example, but we can all live happy, healthy and successful lives!
Your task today is to draw the outline of a human body and label it. If you have paper that is big enough you could draw around a smaller sibling or ask an adult to draw around you (you could stick lots of sheets together!). You can use the blank body attached below or draw your own smaller scale body on a piece of paper or in your book. Add in as much detail as you can:
Arms, knees, legs, ears, mouth, teeth, face, fingers, tummy (stomach), chest, head, neck, toes, feet, hands, elbows, shoulders etc (this activity usually prompts some silliness at school and reproductive organs are drawn. I urge you not to shy away from this natural curiosity about different bodies having different parts! Good luck! But it is not essential at this stage.) If you know any organs add those in too (An organ is a group of different tissues that work together to do a particular job. For example the heart or the brain).
Please also write about what the function of as many parts as you can with a short sentence. E.g. We use our legs for standing, walking and running.
