Home learning

pack 5 To support the home learning we have created a

guideline for how much time should be spent on each

activity in the day.

Each day they have a new story to listen to and

engage with.

15 minutes: Listen to story and discuss

30 minutes: Complete the book activity

20 minutes: Maths activity is usually practical,

document the learning in their book or take photos for

EExAT.

30 minutes: Complete activity of the day together or

allow them to complete independently

This is a guideline, if they spend more/less time on

the activity that is fine!

Thank you for your continued support

Harry and the bucketful of Dinosaurs – Listen on Youtube

Harry finds some dusty plastic dinosaurs in Nan's attic. He cleans them, finds

out their names and takes them everywhere - until, one day, the dinosaurs get

lost! The lost property man gets a surprise when Harry proves the dinosaurs

are his by calling them over to him.

Discuss what you may find in an attic, what other toys might there be?

Writing/Reading:

Listen to the story on YouTube. What happened in the story? Where did Harry find the dinosaurs? Can you remember the different names of the dinosaurs?

Draw a picture of the bucket with all the dinosaurs inside it. Can you remember what colours they were? What were they doing in the story?

Write a list of toys you would like to find in the attic and play with. You can draw pictures to support your list.

Maths:

Find 10 of your favourite toys.

Practise using your touch counting to count them.

Can you find different ways to make 10 with your toys?

Use the part part whole method. Remember this is when the two parts make the total e.g. 4 and 6 make 10.

Use the part part whole diagram on the back, or use any containers, plates or boxes to show the two numbers. Write number sentences for these. Can you do this for numbers bigger than 10?

Harry and the Bucketful of Dinosaurs

Activity of the day: Create your own bucket full of toys

Using a box around your house, decorate this to make your very own special bucket like Harry’s. What will your bucket look like? What will the handle be like? What colours will it be?

Decorate your bucket and upload a picture to EExAT.

What will you put into your bucket? Find your favourite toys to go on an adventure with just like Harry.

Please use the part part whole model below to support your maths home

learning. If the circles are too small then please create your own or use

containers/boxes
