Dragonfly Class – Wednesday 15th July

Good morning all,

Today we will be holding the Year 6 leavers assembly online; I will say a big “good luck” to our Year 6 from you all! I am sure they are all looking forward to their next step and starting Year 7 – the Purple Bubble in school are looking so grown up!

We’re missing you very much in school this week – it is probably my favourite week of the school year but it is not the same without a class full of Dragonflies! I’d love to hear some of your summer plans? I currently plan to pick up my guitar again (which I haven’t practised in ages) and hopefully get away camping with friends 🤞 fingers crossed the sunshine comes back!

Here’s today’s activities:

  1. SpellingsHere are the word mats for each year group in KS2. This week I’d like you to gain confidence in the Y3/4 one then if you’ve cracked many on this list, start to look at some Year 5/6 words.

In Orange Bubble we are going to make a wordsearch with them!

Hedgehogs Home Learning – Wednesday 15th July

Hello Hedgehogs,

Happy Wednesday! It’s been a very unusual term for us all, I was so looking forward to teaching you all when we started back after the Easter holidays but sadly that couldn’t happen. It’s been lovely to get to know you all through phone calls and pictures you’ve sent in. I can’t wait to meet you all in person after the summer holidays! Reception – you will make brilliant Year 1s and I’m sure you’ll be great role models for our new reception children. Year 1s you will have to pop to say hello and I know you’ll all have so much fun in year 2! Well done for keeping going with the home learning or keeping safe in your bubbles at school – you’ve all been superstars! You need to give your adults at home a big pat on the back and plenty of cuddles too for helping you with your learning – I hope you all manage to have a rest over the next few weeks 🙂

I hope you have a lovely summer holidays!

Rabbits Home Learning for Tuesday 14th July

Good morning Rabbits – are you ready for a bit more work today?

I know that I have not set spellings for this week – would not normally do spelling tests on the last week of term.  Please try to remember the words that you have been learning this term – ready for starting back in September!

Wake Up Task:  A handwriting exercise to get you wide awake.  I have found this piece of writing and think it is very appropriate for the time of year.  Please copy it in your best handwriting and then you can decorate the page.

Though May did bring her deepest grey
And June did bring her gloom,
I woke this morn in a glorious way
To Sunshine in my room.

Quick, get up,
It’s time to rise.
Greet the day.
I started to cry.

For today,
It has begun.
It’s finally here,
The summer sun!

Feel her warmth,
See my garden grow,
Taste the sweetest fruits,
Watch the butterflies flow.

Hear the squirrels chatter
And my orioles swoon
Till the evening comes
With the summer moon.

It seems like I’ve waited
Such a very long time,
Longing for the light of
Your rays of sunshine.

So please stay a while.
Bring your long, lazy days.
I’ll cherish each blue sky
And ride every wave.

Oh, how I love summer
And all of her songs,
Happy summer to all,
And may it be long!

English:  There is another lesson today on bbc bitesize.  www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize.

Maths:  here are the maths pages for your lessons today on Time and Capacity.

Year 2 Lesson-2-Hours-and-days Year 3 Lesson-2-Add-and-subtract-capacity

Reading:  Here is a short piece of text that tells you more about GEODES.

GEODES

There are some tricky words there – CHRYSTALS (you say cris-tals)  QUARTS (you say kwartz)

Diamonds are often made into jewellry – do you know if any of your adult relative have diamonds?  Sometimes you have a diamond ring when you are engaged to be married.

Can you find some pictures (or the real thing) showing different stones and crystals that are in jewels – you could look at the picture of the Koh-i-noor which is the biggest diamond found – it is now in the Queen’s Crown.  See if you can find pictures of Sapphires, Rubies, Emeralds or even Pink Diamonds.

Can you find any other names of precious stones on this wordsearch?
