case you don’t and would like to make some to complete this task.

You will need

8 tbsp plain flour

2 tbsp table salt

60ml warm water

food colouring

1 tbsp vegetable oil

Method

1. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix

together the water, a few drops of food colouring and the oil.

2. Pour the coloured water into the flour mix and bring together

with a spoon.

3. Dust a work surface with a little flour and turn out the dough.

Knead together for a few minutes to form a smooth, pliable dough.

If you want a more intense colour you can work in a few extra drops

of food colouring.

Tap out the different words to make the compound word. Can you find the

correct compound word on the next page?

English -

Many of the children are very good at recognising letters, particularly those in there name. Here is an

alphabet mat to talk through the different letters. You could cut them out and spell their name. You could

just play a game and say letter and point to it. You could turn all over the letters, turn it over and to

extend this write it. This is to develop recognition of letters and sounds.

Maths

Using the images with numerals on below can you cut them out and add the

correct amount of pegs to the pictures.

Theme

Do you have some sea animal creatures or any type of animals or toys which you

could put into water and freeze over night in order to make a frozen ocean

animal rescue? This is for the children to use different tools to smash, or melt

the ice in order to rescue the animals.

Friday

Phonics – Syllable game

Maths – Number formation

Understanding of the world- Fathers day

Phonics -

Using the sea creature pictures can you clap how many syllables are in the

words. For example, dol-phin (2 syllables) so you would place the lion picture on

the 2 claps picture.

1 syllable

2 syllables

3 syllables

Math’s – positional language

As our theme has been under the sea, can you play the game where you call out an

action e.g. under and your child needs to find somewhere either outside or inside and go

under something. Cut out the cards, mix them up and they could pull one out of a hat or

box and perform the action. They could also use a teddy or toy to put them under or

inside things.

Understanding of the world – Fathers day

It is Fathers day on the 21st of June. Have you collected you fathers day card

kit if you would like one from the Foundation 1 door? If not, you could make your

somebody very special in your life.

Can you draw a picture below of somebody who makes you feel loved and special

and discuss how they make you feel special?

This week’s theme: SHIPWRECKED

Curriculum

area

Suggested activity

Science Marvellous materials

Foundation Stage 1 – What happens outside when it rains? Everything gets wet! How do we stop

ourselves from getting wet? We can use an umbrella when it rains and this protects us. Next

time it rains, can you get dressed up and stay dry? What did you use to keep yourself dry? Put a

picture on Tapestry to show us your waterproof clothes.

Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Can you investigate which materials are waterproof? What does

waterproof mean? Think about an umbrella. This keeps us dry when it rains – how does it keep

us dry? Can you build a house from lego/duplo/wooden blocks and test a variety of materials to

see if they are waterproof? Watch this video to give you an idea

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSs0ogUUqdM

Year 3 /4 – Once you realise that you are going to be on this island for some time your survival

instincts kick in. From the washed up debris from the shipwreck you have to decide what will be

useful. Think about materials that are waterproof, are insulators and that are reflective. Why

would these be useful on the island? What materials would they be? Can you make a list of

useful materials that you could use on your island?

Year 5 / 6 – What makes a good insulator? Since you’re stranded, you need to make sure you

stay warm. Watch this clip to help you: https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zkntsbk Conduct

an investigation using ice. Wrap your ice in cling film before choosing a 2nd material to act as an

insulator to wrap around it to investigate which material keeps the ice frozen the longest. Can

you write a scientific prediction?

Design and

Technology

Shelters

Foundation Stage 1 – Can you build a den at your house – it could be in the garden or inside the

house. What have you used to make your den? How many people can fit inside your den? We

would love to see your dens on Tapestry or Twitter.

Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Mission Possible-but Challenging!

Your mission, which you must accept, is to build a shelter for two Lego figures (or similar).

Please post your shelters on twitter! The shelter will be judged as follows:

There are five activities below which link in with our theme of ‘Shipwrecked’ which we’ll continue o look at this

week. Feel free to complete them in any order you choose.

1. It must be able to withstand a 1 Kg weight being placed on the roof. The two figures must

remain protected and undamaged.

2. The two figures must remain dry. This will be judged by placing the two figures on a tissue.

The tissue must remain dry when 200 ml of water is poured over the top of the shelter. (Use

your knowledge of waterproof from Science to help).

3. The shelter and the figures inside must be able to withstand a 30 second blast from a

hairdryer (or similar). Have fun – we can’t wait to see them!

Year 3 /4 – Draw a detailed design for a shelter that you are going to build on your island,

labelling the materials that you are going to use. After you have designed your shelter can you

try to construct a replica of this using materials that you have a home/in your garden? Consider

the different conditions that your shelter will be subjected to on the island (high

temperatures, torrential rainfall or monsoon, gale-force winds).

Year 5 / 6 – Watch this clip and evaluate the shelter which has been made. Would this be an

effective shelter if you’re stranded on an island? Consider ways it could be improved.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVjmn05Ptgs After, try building your own shelter making

sure you include the improvements. You could use materials from inside your house/garden or

materials you gather while out on a walk.

History Great Explorers

Foundation Stage 1 – We can all be Great Explorers. Can you explore your garden or house and

draw three things that you have discovered. Are they new things that you have found? Where did

you find them?

Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Let’s find out about Captain James Cook, the famous explorer! Watch

this film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJnzP0Dp3t8

Tell someone in your family 3 facts that you have learnt or answer these questions: -

1. What was the name of Captain James Cook’s ship?

2. What was the biscuit called that the crew ate?

3. What did Captain James Cook spend most of his time doing on board the ship?

Year 3 - 6 – Christopher Columbus was a famous explorer who sailed across the Atlantic Ocean.

Watch this clip https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/ks2-christopher-

columbus/z7j3hbk Create your own fact file about his explorations – you may want to find out

about how he travelled, where did he explore and where did he discover?

R.E Celebrations- Christenings

Foundation Stage 1 – A Christening is a special celebration for a Christian baby. Can you talk

about a special celebration that you have had in your house – it could be a christening, naming

ceremony, wedding or a birthday. Do you have any photographs of the celebration that you can

look at? What can you see? How did you celebrate? Can you draw a picture of the special

celebration that you have talked about?

Foundation Stage 2 / KS1 – Christenings are a celebration celebrated by Christians. Can you

watch this short clip https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zm87tfr and talk about what you saw.

What did the vicar make with the paper? Can you remember the meaning for the symbols of the

house, book and cross? Download the ‘EYFS and KS1 Christening Powerpoint’ from our Home

Learning page and have a look through it. Can you write a list of the things that are given to, or

done for, the baby at their Christening?

Year 3 /4 – As part of our RE lessons we have looked at Sikhism and Christianity. We have looked

at different celebrations and ceremonies in both religions. Sikhs celebrate the birth of

a child through a naming ceremony called Naam Karan. Can you watch the video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xH89kg1K0RQ

to find out what happens at a naming ceremony and write a short explanation?

Year 5 / 6 – Our focus religion is Islam. Download the ‘RE Naming ceremony’ pdf document from

our Home Learning page for more information. Compare a Christian’s christening to an Islamic

naming ceremony – you can present this in a table or create an information poster.

Relationships

For all year groups: This week we’re thinking about ‘change.’ We would like you to focus on the

changes which you have noticed within your community and how your community has dealt with

them. Try listing or discussing the changes you’ve seen. For example, how a trip to the

supermarket has changed or how your community centre has changed.
