Dragonfly Class Wednesday 13th May

Good morning all,

I hope you’re having a good week; I’ve been busy doing school work and looking through some of the things we’ve done so far this year – it’s brought lots of smiles to my face! One of my highlights: JELLYBEAN MATHS DAY! I can just see your faces when you walked into class to find hundreds and thousands of jelly beans!

Nicky in the office looked just as delighted and earned herself a treat bag! I can honestly say I haven’t eaten jelly beans since but might treat myself to some next time I’m shopping…! What special day in Dragonfly Class pops up for you?

I hope to be catching up with some of you again this week… watch this space.

Here are Wednesday’s learning activities.

Dragonfly Class Tuesday 5th May

Good morning everyone!

Some of you may be interested in another special event happening this week – it is Deaf Awareness Week. I’ve learned a little bit of sign language but I wonder if it would be a good opportunity for us all to research the British Sign Language Alphabet and gain an important life skill during lockdown… let me know how you get on! There are lots of videos and websites out there to teach yourself.

www.british-sign.co.uk

As a reminder, VE Day celebrations are also happening on Friday 8th May this week. Keep learning about the importance of this day – you could check out these links below to get you started:

British Legion

BBC Class Clips

As a special project this week, continue work on a project or two from the activity menu below. We look forward to seeing what you produce!

VE Day Reading Comprehension (3 levels)

Here are your main learning activities for today:

Reading: Try out the attached reading comprehension activity linking to VE Day. There are three levels (1star = simplest, followed by 2 stars then 3 stars for trickiest).

Science: Many of you carried out your living things investigation around your gardens / homes last week. Some of you even explored microhabitats (special places where little creatures might live, tiny homes and places where everything is right for them, for example, just the right amount of dampness, light and food.)

Today we’re going to think about the seven characteristics of living things. Look at the links below to learn about the seven things living things do:

Website link Living Things

Task: I’d like you to produce a poster this week to show the seven processes of living things or even just pick one and do it in detail. Pictures and colour would be lovely! You might even include some of the vocabulary or phrases from the poem.

There are lots of activities above – remember, you don’t have to do them all and may prefer to do them over the course of your week.

Enjoy!

Dragonfly Class – Thursday 30th April

Good morning all,

It was so lovely to talk to so many of you yesterday (if not your grown ups!) – I laughed a lot and heard about a huge range of activities you have all been up to.

Archie started it off with a super-fun chat telling me all about the rainbow he’s made (photos to follow), plus soapbox building and bike riding. Archie could have chatted all day! Anouk has been very busy comparing pollen with her microscope and Eva has enjoyed a holiday – camping in her garden! Han & Katie have both been busy on their own projects whilst ‘C’ told me all about doing the clap for the NHS. In the meantime, a very-busy Matthew was blaring his house down with his trumpet practise (fantastic!) whilst Lowri was busy thinking what she’s going to put in a lockdown time capsule… Max has found an interesting art award which he is working towards (more details to follow). Izzy has her hands full with her new puppy (who sounds adorable) whilst Sam and Reuben have settled well into their home school routines and are all nicely busy at home. Harry has been learning to cut logs (with grown-ups of course!) and Toby completed his mastery of apostrophes this week!

Thank you to everyone for making me smile – it was lovely to hear your voices and hear your news and updates. Those of you who missed your call, I’ll try again today.

Here are today’s learning activities:

Reading: Design a new front cover for a book you have read during your time at home. What will you change from the current front cover?

Spellings: Access the link below for your year group and learn the set list. You could print the handwriting sheet OR present it in your Homework Pack.

Year 4 Spelling &Handwriting

Challenge: Owl Class have been designing word searches. Can you create some kind of puzzle for your words?

3. Maths: Access White Rose Maths and complete the tasks for Summer Term Week 2, Day 4.

Year 4 inverted commas (speech marks!)

Remember – if you find it too tricky (or easy!) feel free to try the daily lesson from a Year 3 (or Year 5/6) page. This is completely fine to do 🙂
