Home Learning for Children in Otters

We are sorry if you are not able to be with us in school at the moment. Please click on the links below for some activities you could do while you are home, if you are well enough. Please contact the school office if you need help with printing.

History Your task is to find out about Mary Seacole. Below you will find a link to a PowerPoint all about Mary. There are also links to videos to watch here and here which might interest you. Show what you have learned by writing about Mary. You can use the writing frame to help organise your work or you may wish to work without this.

English Your task is to revise when you should use a capital letter in your writing. First read the PowerPoint and then complete one or both of the two worksheets.

Maths Your task is to use your knowledge of counting on in tens, fives and twos to count up the value of a small number of coins. There are two sheets to complete. One of the sheets has a choice of difficulty level.

Children in Need Your task is to read the comprehension sheet and answer the questions.

Reading books

Children in Otters will be encouraged to choose their own reading book. Children will be given the opportunity to change their reading book on Mondays and Thursdays. Children who are reading on white level and beyond may also change their reading book on any day as they come into school on their way to registration. Children will be supported to write the title of their new book in their reading diary. Parents are asked to write a comment and sign in their child's diary when they have read at home. Reading points will be collected every Thursday.

Doodle Maths

Children are encouraged to continue to use Doodle Maths on a regular basis - little and often is best! Stickers will be given to children every Friday who stay in the 'green zone' each week. Please see the inside cover of your child's reading diary for personal login details.

Spelling homework

Spelling homework will be sent home in folders on Fridays. Folders should be returned to school on the test day, on the following Thursday.
