Words and Your Heart by Kate Jane Neal

We have a wonderful story in school called 'Words and your heart' by Kate Jane Neal. Watch the video of Mrs Czech reading this story. We hope you enjoy it!

The words you use are so important and really do make a difference to how people feel. We believe this is part of the needs of humans.

Your challenge... Can you write words or a sentence in each of the speech bubbles? What would say to someone if they were going to give up? What would you say to someone to encourage them to keep going? What would you say to someone to make them giggle? What would say to someone to make them grin, laugh out loud and roll around?

You could print off the sheet and write in the speech bubbles or draw your own pictures and speech bubbles?

*Kate Jane Neal is a Cornish author. You may want to research and find out more about her too!

What do animals need to survive?

Watch the video. Can you find out the basic needs of animals. You may also want to complete the quiz to test your knowledge.

Animals%20need%20air%2C%20water%2C%20shelter%20and%20food%20to%20survive.

Hibernating

Some animals hibernate in the winter. Choose one animal that hibernates.

Why do some animals hibernate? Where do they hibernate?

Think! What if humans hibernated? - What would it be like to sleep for months? What would you miss if you slept all winter?

Present your research in any way that you want.

How do we look after pets?

Choose any animal you would like to keep as a pet. Be adventurous! How would you look after it's basic needs? Could you keep a cow in your bedroom? Would a badger be happy in a cage? Would you take a crocodile for a walk?

Can you produce an information sheet explaining how you would look after the pet's basic needs to ensure it survived?

Incredible Me - Week 5

This week will be focused on the life cycle of animals, understanding that animals, including humans, have offspring which grow into adults.

Can you help an adult to make a healthy meal? This could be breakfast, lunch, tea or even a healthy snack! We would love to see photos of your creations!

Science: How does soap work?

Discuss with your child the importance of washing, in particular their hands. Ask them: Why do we wash our hands? What do we use to wash our hands? Is it important to wash your hands before eating? Why?

Have a go at this experiment!

You will need: a bowl, some water, a sprinkle of black pepper or another spice and liquid hand soap.

Fill the bowl with some water and sprinkle your pepper/spice on to the surface. (It should float). Dip your finger into the centre of the spice and watch what happens.

Dry your finger and dip it into some liquid hand soap. Dip your soapy finger into the centre of the spice of water and watch what happens this time. Did you notice a difference?

Don’t forget to take photos to show what happens each time you put your finger into the bowl.

Record your results in any way you choose.

Music

Follow the link to listen to a song about handwashing:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9VjeIWLnEg&safe=active

Art: Personal Hygiene

Talk with your child about personal hygiene; what does it mean? What does it include? (Brushing teeth, bathing/showering regularly, washing hands, wearing clean clothes, minimising the spread of germs where we can).

Create an informative poster to show how we can all look after ourselves when thinking about our personal hygiene.

Computing

Follow this link to watch the BBC Bitesize video: What do humans need to stay healthy?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zgtr82p

Discuss with your child what they have seen in the short clip. Ask them to think about what they do to try and stay healthy. Support your child to sequence their day. You could present this as a sequence of pictures, a diary of your day or in any other way you choose. After, talk through what you notice about the day. Did you do any exercise? What healthy foods did you eat? What good hygiene practices do you have?

Incredible Me!

Welcome to our new topic, titled 'Incredible Me!'

This topic will be focused on... YOU! We are all different and that's what makes us special and unique.

We will also be exploring many science areas and answering questions, such as:

How can we keep healthy and hygienic?

What are our basic needs to survive?

How do we and other animals change and grow?

Like 'Camelford Explorers', we will set different challenges each week. Please continue to email photographs and videos of any completed challenges, so we can put together a weekly showcase to celebrate your home learning.

Please also remember to keep reading. Oxford Owl has a wide range of free ebooks. You can also arrange to swap your reading books and collect some more from school. Please email year1_2@camelford.cornwall.sch.uk if you would like to arrange for this to happen.

Please see below for Week 1 Challenges...

What's incredible about you?

We are all special and no-one is exactly like you! What makes you incredible? You choose how to present your work. You might choose to write a list, make a poster or even write a story.

If you have any questions or queries relating to any of the tasks and activities, please just email us on our joint Year 1/2 email (year1_2@camelford.cornwall.sch.uk). You may want to know what level your child is for reading, what RWI stage they are on, what their Times Table Rock Stars/Numbots logins are… We are more than happy to help in whichever way we can.

Each week we will set:

Home Learning Challenges related to ‘Camelford Explorers’.
Maths activities from White Rose/BBC Bitesize. There will be 5 activities for the week. Each activity has a short video to show you how to support your child and complete the activity.

Our Community, Our World - Camelford Explorers

Week 6 – Seaside Towns in the UK

Recap on what you have been learning these last few weeks: What do you know about the seaside? What is the seaside like? What things can you do at a seaside resort? Why do people visit seaside resorts? What are these people called? Where have you visited that was at the seaside?

As this is our last week of Camelford Explorers, we would like you to choose your own seaside town in the UK to research.

To give you some ideas, watch the BBC Video: ‘Barnaby Bear - A visit to the seaside’ https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z8mn34j.

Barnaby Bear visited Poole which is one of the busiest harbours in the world. You could choose to research Poole and investigate the different types of boats that enter Poole Harbour. What type of boats would have bought goods to the warehouses? What cargo did they carry? Poole is also a tourist town, so you could produce a brochure to encourage people to the area, showing them what is available to do in Poole.

Or, maybe you and your family have a favourite seaside resort that you like to visit. You could choose to study Weston-super-Mare, Blackpool or Brighton, anywhere on the coast. It’s up to you!

Good luck Camelford Explorers! We can’t wait to see your final project work.

Computing and Mapping

Computing

Remember you know how to use Google Earth now, so find your seaside town and then zoom in to see what human and physical features it has.

Mapping

Use your new mapping skills to draw a map of your seaside town, with symbols and a key.

English

You could write an interesting fact file, create an informative brochure or make an eye-catching poster about your seaside town.

Art

Create a seaside scene including the key features you have found. Use a range of collage materials. Do you need to add a pier, harbour or lighthouse for your chosen seaside resort?

Science

Do all daisies have the same number of petals?

Have fun answering this question and record your results in any way that you choose!

We look forward to seeing the results!

*Please also continue your observations!

Week 5 - Seaside Towns in Cornwall

Have you heard of St. Ives? This week, we would like you to research St. Ives or you could choose your own favourite seaside town in Cornwall.

What sort of area do you think St. Ives is? How do you know? (Discuss the fact it is on the coast in Cornwall, on the southernmost tip of England and the fact it is in a bay.) What things do you think you might see if you visited St. Ives? What things might be man-made? What might be natural?

Watch the video clip ‘Visit Cornwall’s Guide to St. Ives Bay’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dksyH4JmfKE

or take a look at ‘Visit Cornwall’ videos on YouTube for other seaside towns. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdONN1MGn8mluSGDhszZguw

Ask your child to describe St. Ives: What attractions are there? What do you think the weather is like? Why do you think tourists visit St. Ives? Do you think you would like to visit? Why? What would you choose to do?
