Good morning

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!  We are going to try some Zumba this morning to get us started for the day.

Literacy

This week we are going to focus our literacy tasks based on stories by Julia Donaldson.  She is a favourite in our house.  Have you read any of her books?  Do you have a favourite author?

Once you have listened to the story complete the tasks below.

In the story, the Highway Rat steals from others around him. Can you make a wanted poster for the Highway Rat, listing his name, what he looks like and his crimes?

Can you write a book/story review of the Highway Rat? What did you like/dislike about the story, and why? Is there anything you would have changed about it?

Can you write an apology from the Highway Rat to the other animals that he stole from to say sorry for what he had done and ask for their forgiveness?

Natural object meditation

Hold the object – e.g. a shell, pebble or piece of fruit – in your cupped hands. Is it heavy or light, warm or cool? Is it smooth, bumpy or rough. What colours can you see? Gaze at the patterns, colours and textures in the object and appreciate its beauty.

Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Science

Hello Everyone we have a fresh challenge for you this week. This week we are going to move away from the building challenges and do a bit of a brain teaser.
Did you know that your brain is split up into different areas. For example, the area of your brain that controls movement is different from the area that controls talking and listening. These different areas are linked but certain areas specialise in different activities.
Watch the video clip then draw the table.  The table is really important so make sure you copy it down accurately. Once you have done that, test yourself and see which activities you are good at some will be harder than others.
Once you have done that you need to put someone else to the test. It will be most fun if you have an adult to work with however anyone will do.

Literacy

I hope you enjoyed yesterdays story, today we are going to complete activities based on the story Commotion in the Ocean.  Please listen to the story and then choose 3 activities to complete in your jotter.

Throughout the story, new sea creatures are introduced using short rhyming poems. Can you create your own poem for a sea creature of your choice?

There are many different types of sea creature in the story. Which of the sea creatures is your favourite, and why?

There are facts about each of the sea creatures hidden within the poems. Can you choose a sea creature from the story to research and make a fact file about it?

If you could have one of the sea creatures special features or skills for a day, what would you choose, and why? (for example would you have 8 arms or be able to swim underwater for a really long time?)

See if you can invent your own sea creature and then draw a picture of it. What features would it have? Would it have any special skills?

In the story, Barry saves Puffy from getting hurt. This made him the hero of the story. Can you write or record a news report detailing how Barry rescued Puff.

Can you write a guest list containing all of the sea creatures that Barry should invite to his party?

Good morning

Get your dancing shoes on as we are going to work out with Oti to learn a Jungle Book routine.

On Wednesday you received a letter from Russell the Scarecrow, today I would like you to write an imaginative story about an adventure Russell gets up to on the farm.

Please remember to use capital letters, full stops, joining words and adjectives.  Check over your story once you have finished.

Time for a little music challenge, how many questions can you answer, discuss your answers with an adult.

Muscle group squeeze

Sit on a chair and close your

eyes. Starting at your feet, tense up the muscles in your feet for a count of 5, then release. Tense up your calf muscles for a count of 5, then release. What changes can you notice? Slowly work up your body, tensing up and releasing your muscles as you go. When you are ready open your eyes.

 

Here are a few extra activities you may wish to try at home.

Hope you have a lovely weekend and stay safe!
