Good afternoon everyone. I have 2 tasks for you to try this afternoon. First up is using technology – I would like you to use a device and research facts about space travel – Genius Gems I would like 10 facts and everyone else could aim for 15.

Next up is science: this is a little experiment that is going to help us find out about gravity – do you know what gravity is and what it does? Have a go at making your very own parachute. https://www.science-sparks.com/gravity-and-air-resistance/

If you can, send your pictures to either Miss Hamill or myself or upload them to Twitter.

Have a lovely afternoon everyone!

I would like everyone to continue with their Kindness Journals this week. I was so happy to receive some lovely pictures of kind acts that some of you had completed throughout last week.

We definitely have the kindest children in our class and that makes me very proud :)!

As well as your journal, today I would like you to get comfortable with your family, and if possible watch Wall-E. Build a blanket den, get some juice, get cosy and watch a Space related movie. I will be doing the same with my family. You can find Wall-E on Disney+, Amazon Movies and Sky.

I hope you all had a wonderful day.

Moving onto a new area of revision this week…subtraction.

To get everyone warmed up, I would like you all to access TopMarks and play BLASTOFF…focus on counting back to work on your subtraction.

Then, I would like the;

1. Triangles to challenge a parent or sibling to a subtraction from 50 competition. Keep scores!
2. Squares to challenge a parent or sibling to a subtraction from 30 competition. Keep scores!
3. Circles to challenge a parent or sibling to a subtraction from 20 competition. Keep scores!

I hope you all win! Enjoy.

Literacy time!

Today, I would like all groups to have a look at their new spelling words and work with an adult at home to investigate the meaning of each word.

I would then like everyone to pyramid write each word, followed by another spelling activity of your choice.

THEN…

Masterminds – Write 3 sentences choosing a word for each.

Bright Sparks – Write 3 sentences choosing a word for each.

Genius Gems – Draw a picture and write one sentence explaining what is happening using your new spelling words.

Hello everyone! We have made it through another week of home learning and well done for all of your hard work.

To finish off the week I thought we could learn about Buddhism through RME. Watch the video below.

Then see if you can share some facts with a partner:

• What is Buddhism?
• Who was Buddha?
• What was Buddha’s life like before?
• How did he become Buddha?
• Where does Buddhism originate from?

Have a lovely weekend everyone and stay safe!
