Good Morning Room 6,

Welcome back to another week of home learning! I’m so proud of you all for the level of engagement over the last few weeks Room 6. I have to admit boys and girls that my favourite topics are Ancient Egypt  and Under the Sea!  There is so much to discover. I have to give a shout out to Sophia who appeared on Lets Go Live with her knitted sea creatures. What a claim to fame Sophia! Could you please share a photo with us? Please share any photos with me of the “makes” you have so cleverly made boys and girls, Mrs Graham and I would love to see them. Below is a photo of Ena’s diorama. She said she wanted to make a bedroom for a mermaid. She did it all by herself and wanted to share it with you.

Mrs Graham has been very busy writing reports for you all as you know and from next week we are going to be sharing the Monday blog again. I’ll keep Studyladder  and Easi-maths updated and give you “Under the Sea” activities, and Mrs graham will plan some literacy, numeracy and fun activities. We will both be here for you to leave comments.

Enjoy your week Room 6,

Mrs Mirner : )

Under the Sea

This week I’d like to focus on some of the wonderful creatures we can find in our oceans.  One of my favourites is the sea turtle.  The National geographic kids website is a great source for facts, information and activities. This week I’d like you to explore the website, go on a sea creature fact finding mission! Below is the direct link to the Sea Turtle page, but down the right, you will find lots of other sea creatures to discover.

Choose a sea creature that interests you and create a fact-file about it. You could do this on paper or using power-point. Include information about where it lives (which zone, where in the world) What does it eat, how does it survive  and what does it look like? Feel free to use other websites or any books you have.

I’ m sure many of you already know that this week Maddie and Gregg are doing programmes about the Science Behind Magic. We are quite excited to watch and  do some of the makes they come up with this week.  Arran and Ena still have lots of Under the Sea makes to complete from last weeks shows too.

ICT

I imagine many of you will be spending more time using a computer keyboard. the BBC dance mat typing programme is really good for improving your typing skills.

For Fun

Ikea have some cool den building ideas! (Sorry grown ups 😬 !!) Our house is covered in dens and caves and various places for teddies and dollies to live and have leisure time. Its fun, but make sure you ask a grown up before you do it!

Don’t forget that BBC bitesize are doing online lessons if you are looking for something to keep you busy indoors.

Don’t forget to stay in touch with us and share photos of your learning!
