Maths
This week you are going to be looking at an nrich activity. Can you play it with your grown ups?
How do you play?
You will need an adult to play and cards with the numbers 1 to 12 on them.
The aim of the game is to turn over all the cards. You can turn over the cards that match the numbers on the dice.
To play the game, start with the numbers showing on all the cards. The adult rolls the two dice first. They can turn over the cards which are the same as the numbers rolled. For example, if a 4 and a 5 are rolled, they would turn over the 4 and 5 cards. If a double is thrown, their turn ends. They can roll the dice again until they can't turn over any more cards. The cards that are left showing are then added and that is their score.
You then take the dice and turn the cards the right way up again, and then roll the dice in the same way as the adult. You can keep on rolling dice as long as each time you can turn over some new cards. Remember that if a double is thrown, your turn ends. When you can't turn over any more cards, those that are left are added together and that is your score.
The winner is the person with the lower score. It can be played with just one turn each or each player can have a number of turns that you decide at the beginning of the game.
Can you explain your strategy?
What is good about the game? What is not so good? Why?
How could you alter the rules to make it better?
Notes for adults
This game can give children the opportunity to use their number knowledge. Altering the rules will give the children opportunities to explore ideas about what makes a "good" game and to develop winning strategies to play their games.
Easier version: try starting with just the numbers 1 to 6.
Harder version: try inventing new rules, or adding, subtracting or multiplying the scores on the two dice together to find the number to turn over. You could also change the rule which ends the turn when a double is thrown.

Maths
This week we will continue learning about the mass of an object.
Finding the mass of an object using non standard measures and a scale. Can you follow and join in with the video.
Remember the Mass of an object is the weight of it. We can use a measuring scale to see how heavy/ light an object is. Last week you could have used a measuring scale to find the correct weight when baking cookies.
Activity one ) This week you are going to be using your hands to compare how heavy/ light and object is in your home. The first activity sheet below is for you to find objects in your home that you can weigh. On the sheet or in your blue books write a list of what your are weighing. Then pick two of the objects and using your hands, put one object in one hand and the other in the other hand. Which object is the heaviest and which object is the lightest? Write your answers on the sheet or create a table in your book just like the worksheet.
Weighing objects in your house using your hands
Activity 2) Using the words heaviest/ lightest or the same, can you look at the fruit and vegetables on the sheet. Which fruit is the heaviest on the scale? ( the fruit which is touching the table)
Which fruit is the lightest? ( the fruit which is in the air on the scale)
Which fruit is the same? ( both sides of the scale are the same height)
Comparing the weight of the fruit and vegetables.
Activity 3) Can you find these objects around your home? Which object would be the heaviest? Could it be the chair πͺ or is it the glue stick ? Look at the pictures, cut them out or draw them into your book. Label the picture from 1 to 10 with 1 being the lightest and 10 being the heaviest. Ask a grown up to help you.
Cut out the objects and order the pictures from heavy to light
Adding to 10
This will be helpful to learn number bonds to ten . Draw and cut around your hands and use them to help you.
Adding and taking away
Add and take away numbers up to 5, then 10 then 20 . Go higher if you child is happy to do so .
only move on with higher numbers once your children is confident .
Tens and Units
if your child is able to add up to 20 , help them to recognise what the 1 represents .
For example 13 = 1 ten and 3 units .
children could partition the numbers on paper or practically using blocks , etc
Language ππ
This week’s story
This week’s sounds
Continue to learn phase 2 sounds if needed. From last weeks sound check you should be able to see what you need to go over with your child .

https://www.thenational.academy/year-1/maths/to-compare-the-mass-of-two-objects-year-1-wk2-1#slide-2
This week we will be learning about a mass of an object and capacity. The mass of an object is how heavy or light an object is using a measuring scale. Ask your grown up have they got a weighing scales and when would they use it? Can you follow the simple recipe and make something with your family for a garden picnic. 
How to make the cookies πͺ

8) When they are cooked ask your adult to take them out and let them
cool.
9) Put the cool biscuits on a plate and share with your family and don’t forget to take a picture!
Biscuit Problem Solving
You could also make some plain biscuits to use for the problem solving or decorate packet biscuits such as Rich Tea or Digestives
Capacity.
The capacity is how we measure an amount of liquid. We can use bowls, cups, spoons, bottles and measuring jugs. Have you got a beach bucket and spade? If so go and find it as you will need this today. Fill your bucket with cold water. If you fill it to the top it is called full, if your don’t put any into it then it is empty, what if you put some into it that fills it to the middle of the bucket what is it called?
Your challenge.
Can you create a tally chart table to record your results?
How many spoons of water did it take to fill your bucket?
How many jugs of water did it take to fill you bucket?
How many bottles does it take to fill your bucket?
Finally how many bowls of water did it take to fill your bucket?
Now record your findings in your table.
| Object you used to fill the bucket | Amount |
|---|---|
| Jug | |
| Bowl | |
| Spoons | |
| Bottles |
Which object did you use that need the largest amount to fill the bucket?
Which object didn’t take many times to fill the bucket?
Instead of using a bucket can you use something else to fill with water ? Try the experiment again And create a new table to show your results in your blue book.
Year 1 children could have a go at measuring using litres and millilitres. Remember there are 1000 millilitres in a litre so may be start by looking at bottles, containers that hold 1 litre, 500 millilitres.
Literacy
This week can you go over all of phase 2 sounds. Grown-ups can you check which sounds your children knows.
