My house Recap all 2d and 3d shapes, can you remember the names? Can you recall and properties of these shapes? Use the word mats to support.
Once you have discussed the shapes, can you use junk modelling to build a 3d house. Or you can draw rooms in your house using 2d shapes only.
We are family Talk about all the family members in your household. Draw an image of them all and label who they are. Lets practise estimating! How old do you think they are? How tall do you think they are? Write down your estimations and find out the correct answers. How close were you?
Getting out and about safely It is important to leave the house to get some fresh air, a good way to do this is going to the park with your family or friends (keeping a safe distance) and doing some exercise. Do the exercise cards and remember to count the amount. If you are in school you can do this on the field!
Food yummy food During lockdown Mrs Mistry ate lots of cakes, biscuits and yummy treats! It’s now time to eat healthy, complete these fruit addition sums and try each worksheet, they get more trickier!
Now try playing this greedy pig game!

With a ball or rolled up socks roll/throw the object to knock down as many “skittles” you can in 2 rolls/throws. 1 game is made up of 10 turns (2 rolls/throws each turn). Count up your total score and see who wins. Target Throw: Find 5 containers (they can be the same size or different sizes) and roll 5 pairs of socks up. Place the containers in different spaces and give them points based on how difficult they will be. Take a turn to throw the rolled up socks into the containers and count up your points.

Obj: Parents/ carers/ siblings to hide ‘treasure’ around the area for the students to find. Students are required to mark on the map the location of each treasure. Treasure Island: At Home Addition - Pupils to create at least two ‘islands’ in the opposite direction, within the playing area. Objective: Pupils to stand in the middle of the playing area. When instructed, pupils need to run/ move to the correct ‘island’ within a certain time (decided by a family member). Progression: Communication skills - Pupils can instruct their family members to move to the designated ‘island’, making sure they use a clear and appropriate voice level. Land or Sea: Play with members of your family. One person in charge with those playing standing side by side on some form of “line”. Where they are standing is “land” and in front of the line is “sea”. The person in charge calls out “land” or “sea” and players must jump into the right section. Calls get faster and in different orders to try and trick the players. If you get it wrong you lose a life or are out. Steal the Treasure: Play with at least 2 teams (you only need one per team if you like). Each team finds 10 (maybe more) items of “treasure”, these can be anything you like. Treasure is placed in a pile on your “island” and islands are as far apart as you like. There further apart the more fun it will be! The rules of the game are that 1 person from each team needs to run to another island and steal ONE piece of treasure and return it to their island before the next person on their team must go. The game continues for a period of time 2, 3, 5 minutes it is up to you. Whichever team can steal the most treasure the fastest is the winner. You can make it harder by trying to hide where your islands are in the house or garden or awarding different pieces of treasure more points if stolen. Homeschool Olympics There are 10 different events for you to have a go at. In each event you will have the opportunity to win Bronze, Silver or Gold depending on your score. Let’s see how many medals you can win. You can even challenge someone else in your household. If you do not have a measuring tape available, you can count up the distance using a shoe. Let us know how you get on. Event 1 – Plank. Using a floor space try and see how long you can hold the plank position for?
Bronze: 0 – 30 seconds. Silver: 30 – 60 seconds. Gold: 60 seconds plus. Event 2 – Speed Bounce. Using an item at home to make a line on the floor (roll up a t-shirt or a pair of trousers). Using both feet together try to jump over that line as many times as you can in 30 seconds.
Bronze: 0 – 15 seconds Silver: 15 – 30 seconds Gold: 30 plus seconds Event 3 – Long Jump. Stand behind a marked outline with feet slightly apart. A two-foot take-off and landing is used, with swinging of the arms and bending of the knees to provide forward drive. Jump as far as possible, landing on both feet without falling backwards. Three attempts are allowed
Bronze:0 – 0.5 meter. Silver:0.5 – 1.5 meters. Gold: 1.5 plus meters
Event 4 – Throw and catch. Roll up a pair of socks into a ball-like shape. Throw the socks in the air and count how many times you are able to clap your hands and successfully catch the socks.

Bronze: 0 – 10 seconds. Silver: 10 – 30 seconds. Gold: 30 seconds plus.

Once you have the 4 points, get someone to call out the names of those items and see how fast you can touch them and return back to the middle of the compass. Keep calling them and see how many touches you make in 30 seconds.
