Maple Class home learning for Monday 4th May 2020

Spellings – when a word ends with a short vowel followed by a consonant, double the last consonant before adding ‘ed’ (like drop=dropped, trim=trimmed).

Try these, and put into sentences:

Trip, mop, trot, rub, pat

English – look at the Year 2 common exception word list (see attachment). How many of these words can you read? How many can you say in a sentence? Can you use more than 1 word in the same sentence?

Maths – this week our theme will be “puzzles and problems”. Today’s problem to puzzle over is:

I can see 28 ‘arms’ on the beach.

How many children could there be?

How many starfish could there be?

Record all the different combinations. You could draw or write them.

Theme – this week we will be learning all about some of the culture, traditions and language in Japan. Below is a suggested list of activities to choose from, maybe pick one a day to explore.

which language do they speak in Japan?
Can you learn to say “hello”, “goodbye” and “thank you” in Japanese?
Can you count to 10 in Japanese?
Can you explore Japanese writing?
Can you write your name in Japanese?
What is the national sport of Japan? Can you research and practise some of the actions?
What food is traditionally eaten in Japan?
Do people in Japan have any traditional good luck symbols? Find out what a “Maneki Neko” is and draw or make your own.
Remember to celebrate the traditional festival of “Children’s day” on May 5th (Tuesday).

Thank you, Mrs Keeler.
