Y4 – Maths – Shape – Lesson 10

Art

You guys have been telling me you’re enjoying the art lessons so we’re going to do a few lessons looking at zentangle patterns.

“What’s a zentangle?” I hear you ask. Well, I wasn’t really sure either. Here’s what I found…

The zoomtangle method is an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. We call these patterns, tangles. You create tangles with combinations of dots, lines, simple curves, S-curves and orbs. These simple shapes are the “Elemental Strokes” in all Zentangle art. These patterns are drawn on small pieces of paper called “tiles.” We call them tiles because you can assemble them into mosaics.

There you go. Zentangle away with this very zen and very tangly task…

Y5 Maths – Two-way tables

11 May 2020: Home learning

Hello everyone!

Hope you’ve all had a great weekend! Who’s ready for another week of home learning?

Maths

Today’s we’re going to be learning how to find a half.

Click on this link and find ‘Summer term – Week 2’.

Then,  click on lesson 1. There will be a short video to watch and an activity you can print.

Any problems finding it, please let me know.

Reading

For today’s reading task, follow this link to the Department of Education’s letters and sounds YouTube page.  Please find lesson 7. Lesson 7 teaches the children about the alternative grapheme ‘o’. There will also be a live lesson at 10.30am. Fell free to join in with that one too.

Geography

Today, your task is to draw a map.

Maps help us travel from one location to another. They also help us figure out where we are and how to get to where we want to go.

Make a map of your route to school (if you can remember it!) or a map of walk you have been doing.

Maps often have symbols to show important features. These symbols are then shown in a key. Keys use symbols, colors, or lines to represent important places or landmarks on a map.

Good luck, Year 1

Hello everyone

I hope you have all enjoyed the weekend. Did you celebrate VE Day?

We had a street party. Everyone stayed outside their own houses and we played bingo and took park in  a quiz – great fun!

Here is your fluency text for this week. 

All about Africa
Africa is a continent which is bigger than the United States of America, Canada and India put together. Africa is home to 54 countries and more
than one billion people. In Northern Africa, you can trek through the Sahara desert; it is the largest and driest hot desert in the world. You can
also visit the world’s longest river, The Nile.

Millions of people visit Africa on holiday to see its famous pyramids and go on animal safaris. In Africa, you will find some of the largest mammals on the planet. Among them are the elephant, the giraffe and the world’s fastest land mammal, the cheetah.

Today, you have spelling, reading and maths tasks to complete.

Task 1

Spellings

This week, all the words are homophones or near homophones. A homophone is a word which sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning. They are often, but not always, spelled differently.

We are going to start with three words. There will a few more tomorrow.

their    
they’re

Copy and complete the sentences below. This is a great chance to practise your handwriting too.

Challenge

Create your own pictures (and sentences) to help you remember how to spell these three words. Here are a few ideas.

Task 2

This week, the reading tasks will be based on a new story. We will read a chapter a day and you need to complete the task.

Here is the front cover.

Complete this task by using the front cover only.

LO: I can answer questions. 

1. How many animals are there in the picture?
2. Why is NOT written in capital letters?
3. This book has been written by a teacher. Why do you think he has chosen to write it now? Explain your answer.

Now, listen to Mrs Taylor reading the first chapter.

Mike Forde has published the book titled How to NOT go to school, which navigates issues that children might be experiencing like missing friends and feeling cooped up during the coronavirus pandemic.  The story follows a character of Parsley Mimblewood who never goes to school. Instead, animal lover Parsley spends her time taking care of three goats, three guinea pigs, two dogs, a cat and a stick insect, whilst solving mysteries with Detective Dracula.
