Good morning all,

And here we are – our final week of term of this very bizarre year! You have all done brilliantly during this time and here in school we can’t wait to have you all back in September – it’s just not the same without each and every one of you.

Here’s today’s activities:

  1. Spellings: Here 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.

 

Year-5-and-6-word-mat

Years-3-And-4-Word-Mat

2. Maths: White Rose Maths links can be found below. I’ve also added a block of work on My Maths for those of you who enjoy it too. Remember to watch the video and learn first!

Rabbits – Home learning for Monday 13th July

Good Morning Rabbits

Gosh – the last week of term!  Good job the sun came out this weekend – it was feeling like Autumn already!

This morning I would like you to do a quick brain teaser to get you awake.  You have to say the colour that you see – not the word that is written!

colour quiz

This next challenge is maths-based – you need to think of what number sentence you could write that would have each of the answers.

What’s the question

English:  I would like you to follow the BBC Bitesize English for this week.  Each day you have new lessons for your yeargroup.  www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize.

Maths:  We will finish the year with the whiterose maths.  Please click on the links below to complete the maths tasks.  Year 2 are reviewing TIME and year 3 are looking at CAPACITY today.

Year 2 Lesson-1-Telling-time-to-5-minutes

Year 3 Lesson-1-Compare-capacity

Year-2-Summer-Week-12

Year-3-Summer-Week-12

Reading:  The following book is called The Bitaba Bird.  If you can access this link and read it yourself or use the audio button to hear it being read to you.

http://www.magickeys.com/books/bitaba/index.html

The last page is a piece of information on GEODES.  Please also read this.

http://www.magickeys.com/books/bitaba/geodes.html

Project:  Today we will look at GEODES – you will be able to look at the pictures and read some key facts about these stones.

https://geology.com/articles/geodes/

I have enlarged one of the pictures for you – could you create your own?  You need to make a shape first, then add colours in different layers.  See how many version you can make.

GEODES

Tomorrow we will begin to learn a little bit more about these strange and magical stones.

Have a lovely day!

Mrs Cooke

Dragonfly Class – Friday 10th July

It’s Friday! Well done for logging in for another week and I hope you have lovely things planned for the weekend 😊Exciting news yesterday to hear recreational sports will be coming back – I’ve got my fingers crossed I’ll be playing netball again soon… What sports do you look forward to getting involved with?

Here are today’s activities:

  1. Spellings: Look at the spelling lists for your year group  and choose 5 to learn. 

Years-3-And-4-Word-Mat

Year-5-and-6-word-mat

2. Maths:

For Friday’s fun challenges, you can spend your time on TT Rockstars or exploring Number Gym.

4. English: ..

 

Writing Challenge!

As we near the end of the term, I’m going to set you a writing challenge each day  to try and produce different types of writing linked to genres we have covered in Dragonflies.

Watch this video:

Rio Olympics

Challenge 5:

Can you create a short story linked to the video… it could involve dialogue between the characters or a cliffhanger ending! Good luck.

Other ideas:

  1. Topic (Ancient Greece – Olympics!)

For a final project have a look at the links below; one shows you examples of Ancient Greek vases – you could carry out your own research to find out more about them.

Can you design your own Greek vase in this style? I’ve attached a template to help you if you need it.

T2-H-4645-Greek-Vase-Olympic-Photo-Pack_ver_1

Have a super weekend, missing you all very much.

Rabbits – Home Learning Friday 10th July

Good Morning Rabbits

I’m in a silly sort of mood today – the last Friday that we will have of this school year!

To wake you all up – here is a VERY SILLY clapping and actions activity – I am picturing you all doing this at home – and looking quite daft!

Well – Did you manage to do it?  Did you look really silly?  I hope you are laughing now.

Spellings:  For your spelling words today – can you please have a go at writing them out in their pairs?  Kneel and Knelt, Feel and Felt etc.  See if you can remember the pair word when you have written the first one.  Calf and ……  Half and …….

Maths:  I am aware of how much ‘screen time’ you are going to have so please do just a few minutes of the maths games before taking a break to do something else – then return to the maths later.

https://mathsframe.co.uk/en/resources/category/22/most-popular

PSHE:  to give you a break from ‘screening’ I have a colouring activity for you.  This is part of our PSHE on keeping you feeling well, relaxed and positive.  You can use any colours – pencils, paint, pen and it is for you to spend as long as you wish colouring the mandala.

colouring mandala

Music:  here is the music link for your lesson today from Mrs Hindson.

I hope you all have a lovely Friday and a wonderful weekend.
