Maths Task

Today we will continue to look at some more doubling.

Go through the PowerPoint to recap the doubles up to double 10. Then practise doubling by creating symmetrical patterns on a butterfly.

Print off the butterfly template below or draw your own (you will need one butterfly for each doubles fact). Start by painting one spot on one side of the template then fold it over to create the double. Can you child guess how many dots will be on the other side? Write the addition sentence underneath the picture. Now do this for the remaining doubles.

Butterfly Template

TIP: Emphasise how many spots can be seen on each side of the butterfly and make the link that these are the two numbers being added together to create the double.

Science Task

Gummy Bear Science

Use gummy bears in a little science experiment that will help us learn how water behaves.

Saturday Science: Growing Gummy Bears | The Children's Museum of ...

The science behind the growing gummy bears

The water moves from the glass into the gummy bear through the outer “membrane” of the bear. The bear grows, instead of dissolving because the water molecules move into it, swelling it up.

Maths Task

Today we are learning to double numbers up to 10.

When you double something you add together two amounts which are exactly the same.

Here is a set of five toy cars.

If you double this, you need to add another five toy cars.

Ten cars split into two rows of five cars..

So double five is ten. The number sentence would look like this: 5+5=10.

Practise doubling numbers using objects from the home. It is important that you do this systematically to begin with. Give your child 1 biscuit and ask them to double it. How many more would I need? Remind children that doubling means adding the same amount. Help your child to write the number sentence as they double each number.

Look at the number sentences you have created- What do you notice about all of the doubles? Children should recognise that they are all in the 2 times table. Explain that this is because doubling is the same as multiplying by 2.

To conclude the lesson, listen and join in with this doubling song.

Literacy Task

Good morning year 1,

This week’s literacy tasks will be all about bears! Let’s start the day with a cheery song- Listen to ‘The Bare Necessities’ from ‘The Jungle Book’ and try to join in as much as you can.

Discuss some of the words and phrases in the song and their meanings, such as roam, bare necessities, strife, rest at ease, etc.

Draw a picture of Baloo the bear. Watch the clip again, this time pausing to talk about what he looks like, what he likes to eat and things he likes to do. Write some sentences about Baloo, around or underneath his picture. Use ideas from the song and the film clip to help you.

Here is an example: Baloo is a huge grey bear. He likes to eat ants which tickle his tongue. He loves to scratch his back on the trees. He enjoys to relax in the water and float along.

Don’t forget to check your writing for capital letters and full stops!

Challenge: Can you write some sentences using the word ‘and’ to join two ideas? 🤔
