The Bad-Tempered Ladybird

Watch Mr Clarkson read ‘The Bad-tempered Ladybird’ by Eric Carle

A special message from my teacher:

Hello everyone

We hope you enjoyed the V.E day activities last week and had lots of fun celebrating.

It was great to see the photos of your work that you sent in. Lots of your decorations and party menus looked fantastic. Please keep emailing them in.

We hope your paper aeroplanes were more successful than ours. Miss Timney’s crashed soon after take-off, Mr Clarkson’s got stuck in a tree and Mrs Selkirk couldn’t even fold hers!

Miss ing you all and sending virtual hugs.

Stay safe

Miss Timney, Mr Clarkson and Mrs Selkirk

Dear parents and children,

Please see below the exciting tasks set for this week.

While we have posted a suggested order

(we know some people find this helpful)

But please feel free to pick and choose what you want to do and when you want to do it.

Please remember: your child’s well-being is the most important thing to us. You may find that they are more inspired some days than other. Some days they might do no tasks. Other days they may wish to do more than one.

We also appreciate that many of you are likely to be working and juggling child care.

So our message is simple, do what you can and be kind to yourselves too!

We also value cooking, gardening, cleaning and a wealth of other things you will be doing as families.

If your child would like to share what they have been doing with us please email your photos etc to Snaith.primary2020@gmail.com (you can also email any questions or concerns to the teachers on this)

If you have any other concerns please do contact school on 01405 860452 or on Snaith.primary.eastriding.gov.uk

Activity

Monday

Science

Find out about the life-cycle of a ladybird

(Take a look at the PDF below to help you).

You can record the different stages of the life-cycle in your own words in your school work book (don’t forget to illustrate each stage) or if you have your own idea on how you would like to record the information, go for it!

Tuesday

Maths

Can you tell the time?

* Year 1s: 0’clock and half past the hour

* Year 2s: O’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to

You can get your grown up to grab your wall clock and move the hands round for you or if you have a printer you could use the sheets below.

Wednesday

English

Can you retell the story of the Bad-tempered Ladybird? Don’t worry about having to write about every animal that the ladybird visits. Instead write a beginning, a middle and an end. Take a look at the template below for ideas on what to include in each section.

You can record it in your school work book.

Thursday

Maths

Who does the ladybird meet at each hour?

Can you draw the animals in order and label each one with the time that they met?

You can record your work in your school work book or you can use the page borders below if you have a printer.

Friday

Can you write a book review about ‘The Bad-tempered Ladybird’?

Take a look at the template below for ideas on what to include in our own review. You can record it in your school book but don’t forget to add an illustration of the book cover or the ladybird.

Extra Challenges if desired:

* Could you perform the story for your family? (maybe video call a relative and perform it for them)
