Wednesday 20th May
Hello Class One,
Remember it is our Google meeting today at 10am! Remember to come dressed in your superhero costume!
This week our learning is around the story of Superworm! We will have some activities themed around worms, minibeasts and superheros!
Has anyone done anything to make a difference this week? Maybe you could create a superhero card or letter and post it to someone? Bake superhero cakes for a neighbour? Create superhero smile stones for others to enjoy? How will you make a difference this week?
Remember;
‘Super powers should always be used to help others.’
‘A hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people. ‘
‘Superheroes, you don't give up; you don't surrender. I think that's what makes a superhero.’
Fly like eagles this week Class One!

Remember to do what you can (2 hours is plenty- this doesn’t need to be all in one go!) and to learn lots more through your own play too.
Watch the story of Superworm here
Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jnk3XApKBg Make predictions and talk about the main events, characters and setting as you watch it together. What do you think of the characters? Why? How would you save Superworm? What would you say to the evil Lizard? What do you think of Superworms friends? What if they didn’t help?
Literacy-sequence the story and think of a new part of the story!
Nursery and Reception
Can you use the pictures below to sequence the story. If you are unable to print them, talk about the pictures together. What happened first? Next? After? Then?
Can you retell the story using story language?
Once upon a time…
One day..
Suddenly…
They all lived..
When you have sequenced the story I would like you to use your creativity and think about what Superworm did next after he was saved. Who did he help next? What did he help them with? Can you draw the next thing Superworm did to help? Reception can you also write about what Superworm did next.
Maybe he could wiggle deep underground and dig a new tunnel for a creature?
Or could he be Superworm the spy and secretly peek over a tall wall to see what is happening?
Could he become a bridge for his friends to cross a deep, cold river and escape a bad character? How could he help Little Red Riding Hood or the Three Little Pigs?

Letter formation practice for Nursery and Reception
I have recorded a letter formation video for you to help you develop your letter formation at home. It’s quite long so you may want to just practice a few letters at a time. I hope it helps! When you open the link, it can be slow loading. Wait a while and it should start to work.

Maths
All Nursery and Reception children can have a go at completing some of the day 3 and 4 Superworm themed maths challenges over the next two days.
Here is the link. Click on Summer term- Week 5 (w/c 18th May) and all of the activities for the week will be there. https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/early-years/
Other play based maths activities for Nursery to work on throughout the week
-
Counting skills- Draw, make or print off some worms (up to 5, then 10 and extend the number further if your child is confident). Hide them, use a timer of 1 minute and hunt for them in the garden. Then encourage your child to line them up and then touch count them accurately. How many did you find in 1 minute? Can you make a matching number label together? Then swap over to see how many mum or dad can find. Can you compare who found more/the most/less/the least?
-
Recording through marks, pictures and numbers- Go on a worm/bug hunt and record through marks (tallies), pictures (draw the bugs) and numbers (write the total amount as a number) on paper.

-
Order numbers 0-20, then count and draw the matching amount of mini beasts for each number e.g draw 4 ladybirds, 10 spiders and 19 bees. It will be a minibeast number line!
-
Doubling-create some worms using string or drawings, place an amount of up to 10 worms on a plate, double it and add the same amount to another plate, how many do you have in total? Double…. is….
-
Sharing- make playdough worms and food. Use 2, then 4,6,8,10 pieces of food for the worms, share them fairly between the two worms. What if there were 5 pieces of food to share? What if there were 3 or 4 worms? How would you share a whole apple between 2 worms? Can you draw a picture to show what you would do to share the apple?
-
Adding and subtracting using lots of practical resources and drawings where you can. Use number stories to help with adding and subtracting e.g One spider had 2 flies and the other had 4 flies, how many altogether? Make the spiders and flies to help set up and solve this. Look at recording as a number sentence together 2 + 4 =
A spider had 5 flies and then it ate 3, how many does it have now? Make or draw a spider, give it 5 flies, subtract the 3 (cross them out/take them). Look at recording as a number sentence together 5 - 3 =
-
1 more and 1 less- create some worms using string or drawings, place an amount into a picture of a garden/underground. What if there was one more worm? 1 less? 2 more? 2 less?
