Good morning everyone! Hope you are all well.

Let’s start with some exercise with Joe.

Today we will continue to learn about books and catch up with Unicorn and Haggis as Marcus finds out that books can answer questions.

• Watch and listen to the clip below.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9vbkqt/articles/zvgvnrd

• Now read the book, (below the clip), for yourself or with  a family member.
• What type of book is this?
• Is it fiction or non-fiction?
• How do you know?
• Look for the punctuation marks in the book – can you find CAPITAL LETTERS, FULL STOPS, COMMAS, EXCLAMATION MARKS, QUESTION MARKS etc
• Think of all the question words you know:
• WHEN?   WHERE?   WHO?   WHAT?   WHY?    WHICH?
• Ask a family member a question beginning with each word e.g.WHEN is your birthday?   WHERE is your favourite place? etc.

The book ended with another question – “Why do some animals wake up at night and play under the starry skies?”

• Can you think of some animals that like to come out at night?
• Share your ideas with a family member
• These animals are known as Nocturnal
• Let’s find out what this means

• What is your favourite nocturnal animal?
• Why do you like it?
• Tell a family member about it
• Create your own Night and Day animals collage like the one below
• Can you think of any more Night or Day animals to add?

Remember to share your work on the Blog or email it to us to share at assembly!

Good afternoon A1/P1. I hope you are all having a nice day. I’ve got a fun rainbow rain cloud experiment for you to try.
All you need is

– a glass or glass jar

– water

-food colouring

– shaving foam (not gel)

Fill your glass 3/4 full with water then squirt your shaving foam on top to make your cloud. Now you add a few drops of your food colouring and watch your rainbow rain appear!

What colours can you see? Does your rain fall straight down or make patterns?

I hope you have fun making your rain clouds and I look forward to seeing your pictures.

Bonjour les enfants!

Days of the Week 3_06_20

Hello again everyone!

Don’t forget to tune in to Elevenses with David Walliams at 11.00am

http://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/

• Today we will continue with Data Handling
• Data handling means different ways of collecting, organising and displaying information.
• Can you remember any of the ways we sorted information last week?
• We sorted by shape, colour and size
• What ways did you think of to sort the animals in your Education City task?

We can sort information by looking at a picture

• Watch and listen to the clip below

• We can organise this information into a table like the one shown below.

• We can use this information to ask and answer questions:
• What is the most popular animal at the pond?
• What is the least popular animal at the pond?
• How many ducks and frogs are there altogether?
• How many animals are there altogether? etc.

• Now take a look at the picture below

• How many of each shape can you count?
• Use the information to draw and complete a table of your own in your jotter
• Now get a family member to ask you some questions about your table
• To finish off try to think of a way to sort/organise  some of your toys
• Sort them and take a photograph or draw a picture to share with us by email or by posting it on the blog
• You could even make a table to show how you have organised them

Next week we will learn how to use information to construct a pictogram

Good morning boys and girls!

I hope you are well and ready for PE with Joe this morning:

Now it is time for PM writing.  Today we are learning about words and sentences.

Support the children to:

• Read the sentences aloud and identify the sentences that tell who and where.
• Identify the sentences that tell what happened first, then and after that.
• Read the last sentence and find out how the writer felt when the bird flew away.

Now, inside your pack you will find ‘The Bird and the Cat – Activity 4’.

recount_bird_and_cat-activity4

The purpose of this task is to complete sentences by writing the past tense verbs went, woke and was.

First, write in a word to complete each sentence.  Use the word bank at the top to help you.  Remember to read over your work to ensure all your sentences make sense.

Lastly, draw a picture inside the box at the bottom that illustrates one or all of the sentences.  Remember to add detail to make your illustration interesting.

Good afternoon boys and girls!

I hope you are enjoying the lovely weather today!  This afternoon we are going to look at some work from an artist called Elsa Mora:

Elsa Mora’s flower people

Good Afternoon P1 and A1,

This afternoon I have a nice story for you to listen to. It’s called Nighty Night Circus.

After this I would like you to go around the house and find 5 things you would use before going to bed and 5 things you would use when you wake up in the morning.

You could draw a picture or make a picture outside of your favourite time off the day. I can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Remember to post your pictures on twitter so I can see them.

Our twitter is @wlblackburnps

Good afternoon guys!

I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine and keeping well.

Mrs Bryce told me that Superheroes was your theme on Thursday last week and I had a thought, at this time we are all being Superheroes.  We are all staying at home, washing our hands and social distancing. We are saving lives, we are superheroes!

HANDPRINT SUPERHEROES.

This little art activity is very simple all you need is some paint, paper and your hands. Choose which superhero you would like to paint or create your very own. Paint your hand and press it on the paper, wait until it dries and add all your detail. Here are some examples below. I look forward to seeing all your work.

Have Fun!

Maisie.
