Tuesday – See if you can design an even bigger shell for the hermit crab and his friends to share. Either add some labels to it or write a few sentences to describe the new design.

Wednesday – In the story, the hermit crab shares his home with his friends. Who do you share your home with? Can you draw a picture of your home and write about who lives in it with you?

Thursday – The bristle worm is really good at looking after the shell and keeping it clean, to make it feel like home for his friends. How do you help take care of your home?

Friday – The rockpool is the habitat where the 3 sea creatures live. Can you research rockpools and find out what other sea creatures like to live there?

Watch the videos and answer the questions in the booklet below. I wonder what it would be like underwater? What do you think? You could even write a description imagining you are under the water. I loved imagining being somewhere else…

As I stepped into the light blue warm ocean I saw lots of magnificent fish. The first fish was orange and black. It reminded me of Nemo from ‘Finding Nemo’. I swam slowly through bright colours and spiky coral. I wondered what I would see next!

Summer Home Learning Week 6

1st June 2020lbridges

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely half term! I can’t believe it’s June already and that it is our final term in Year 1 together. I miss you all very much. This week we are starting a new topic all about ‘Under the Sea’. Over the next 7 weeks we are going to be learning about oceans and all the fantastic creatures that live in them. In addition, we are going to be looking at my favourite country of all that has the world’s largest coral reef system. Can you guess what it is? I’m not telling you yet!

English

This is our book for the week! It is a fantastic story about a fish that loves to tell fibs. Click the link below and have a listen to Tiddler.

Now have a go at these lessons…

L1 – Tiddler the fish regularly makes up stories about why he is late for school. Can you make up your own story for why he was late one day? Draw a storyboard and explain it to an adult.

L2 – Tiddler was busy dreaming up an excuse as to why he was late, and ended up getting caught in a fisherman’s net and going on a real adventure. His class were worried about where he was and thought he might be lost. Can you make a ‘missing’ poster for Tiddler? Remember you need to describe him and get lots of details about where he went missing.

L3 – Think about the moment when Tiddler was caught in the net. How do you think he was feeling, and why? Can you think of a better word than sad?

L4- Tiddler ended up going on a real life adventure the day he was caught in the net. Can you write a diary entry pretending to be Tiddler, detailing what happened that day?

L5- If you could dream up your own adventure, where would you go, and what would you do? Draw a picture of your own adventure and label it.

Phonics
