This document provides a week of home learning activities for a student divided into daily maths and English lessons. The maths lessons include number skills practice like doubling, multiplication facts, and shapes. The English lessons focus on language skills like building sentences, using adjectives, writing alphabetically, and creating a story using each letter of the alphabet. It also includes a science experiment to create rocket mice and an activity listening to a story about worries.

shows that on either side of the line the
shape is symmetrical.
Cut out some squares from some scrap
paper. Can you fold the squares in
different ways so that the fold is on a line
of symmetry.
Cut out a square and draw on all the lines of symmetry. Colour
each segment a different colour to make a rainbow pattern.

Continue doing this until you get to sentence number twenty six that begins with the letter

At the beginning of the week I went on an adventure. Before that I had been
staying at my aunties house. Can you guess where my adventure began?
Down at the bottom of my garden! Every day I have been in my garden but I
had never noticed the strange little door underneath the bushes. ‘For how
long has that been there?’ I asked myself. Going forward quietly I tiptoed up
to the door and knocked on it quietly. Hoping that someone friendly was
going to answer my knocking I stood there wondering. Imagine how surprised
I was when the door was opened by a very small man wearing a little pointy
hat.
