Literacy

• Make up some new book titles which include alliteration, e.g. The Perilous Postman, Annoying Aunties, Groovy Grandad. Could you write a story based on one of these book titles?
• Granny’s door makes a ‘Clunk’ sound as it is closed. Can you think of other words that describe a sound (e.g. oink, bang, swish)?

Maths

• In Chapter 5 there is a timetable for ‘granny’s hectic life’. Could you create a new, more exciting, timetable with lots of different activities at various times each day? Could you make up some questions for others to answer about your timetable (e.g. How long does a particular activity last?).

Art

• Design an advert for one of Raj’s special offers.
• Draw a picture which shows what granny’s box of diamonds and jewellery looks like.

GROWTH MINDSET FOCUS

At the moment, you might be feeling a bit down in the dumps or feeling like you can’t achieve something.

YOU are capable of anything as long as you believe in yourself and keep trying.

I hope you enjoyed watching the Dojo videos from last week. Did you manage to reflect on the key messages of these videos that may have expanded your growth mindset?

Complete the activity below about Success.

What do you want to become success at?

 Stay positive everyone and look after your mental health.

Also, Hollie has a weekly family learning challenge set on the ‘handy links from home’ tab.

Topic – The Rainforest

Remember to check out the grid of activities for you to do on the rainforest. So head over and check it out. 🙂

Miss Taylor is looking forward to reading your research tasks on the Rainforest. When we return to school we will spend time sharing our learning on the Rainforest

In Term 4 we will be working on a Science topic learning about sound. As an introduction to this new topic use the log on details below to get on to the Tig Tag website.

Click on the what is sound link below to open up activities.

What is Sound?  <—- click

Once we understand more about sound a big part of our learning will be researching how animals use sound to communicate. I felt this fitted in really well with our Rainforest topic and I think it will be a really interesting topic for us to learn about.
