Hello everyone!
It’s the end of another week. Thanks very much for all your hard work. Hope you have a super weekend and I’ll see you on Monday (kind of)!

Today’s learning:
It’s our regular Love of Reading session. Do what you usually do! Or you can mix it up if you like and draw a character from your book or write an interview with a character or sketch a setting or scene from the book or list some facts you’ve learnt if reading a non-fiction text. Or, do something else related to reading!
Click here for the link to the Friday challenges. Remember to try the Year 5 ones for an extra challenge.
The weather should be fine (just a few thunderstorms) for the final Andy Goldsworthy challenges: Andy Goldsworthy Challenges – Week 4.

Happy Friday!
Your first task today is Love of Reading.
Find your favorite book, sit back and enjoy.
Here is a book review for you. Choose your favorite fiction and non fiction books to review.
Task 2
Revision of money
Here are a few activities. You can choose all the activities or one/two.
The first activity is for you to pretend to go shopping. You need to buy 2/3/4/ items and work out how much you have spent altogether.
An extra challenge would be to work out your change from £1, £2 and £5.
Good luck!
Task 3
Repeat pattern making
When thinking about shape in your designs, don’t just think about the shape of the end product.
Shapes can be used decoratively for a lot of products too.
Tessellation is when shapes fit together in a pattern with no gaps or overlaps.
The following short film gives an explanation of tessellation and shows it working, or not working, with different shapes.

Tessellating Capitals
I know that when doing symmetry we often have a look at CAPITAL LETTERS. We could try tessellating certain ones, deciding on good ones to try and those that would be no good.
A simple one to start with is the letter C – see what has happened when I’ve tried to tessellate them:
Slightly different …
Do you see how they are different?
Now try another one or two for yourself!
Capital F also seems a good one, but maybe it’s a little harder.
I decided to lay two of them down like this:
Then playing about with putting them together I got:
This I was quite happy with, so I thought that having shown you, you could try some for yourself.
Here are some sheets to help if you need them.

Please send us your tessellations.

Hello Year One
It’s Friday! That means it’s challenge day.
Click on this link and have a good at the challenges! Challenge 2 is my favourite today.
It’s our Love of Reading session today. I’d like you to sit down with a good book and enjoy reading together. You might share a book or your child may want to read independently. Talk about what you’re reading and ask some questions.
Our final Friday lesson is the about food and nutrition. Click on this link to find out how to construct a balanced and healthy diet.

Have a great weekend everyone 🙂

Let’s start the day with some mindfulness.
Did you guess the animals yesterday?

Task 1
Science
Today we will be…
Identifying different parts of ocean animals and finding out what they are used for.
Have a look at these slides and try to answer the questions as you go. There is a quiz at the end so make sure you are paying attention!
Why not make your own quiz and test someone at home.
Task 2
Reading
LO: I can look for clues.
Task 3
Online safety
As we are all using technology a lot at the moment, it is important to remember how we keep ourselves safe whilst online.
What can you remember about online safety?
Have a go at these activities.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zq3gp4j
I wonder if you could design a poster/ leaflet to tell help younger children understand online safety?
Don’t forget to email your learning if you’d like us to see it.
