3. Reading : Read your own book for 20 minutes or so today.

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 1

Image Poetry: Can you create an ‘If I were…’ poem e.g.

If I were a monkey I’d climb the tallest tree

If I were a monkey no hunters would catch me.

If I were a monkey I’d swing from branch to vine.

If I were a monkey I’d be cheeky all the time.    But you could write this better!

 

Other ideas:

  1. Science: Today we are going to think about muscles in the human body.
  • Bitesize Muscles – learn about muscles here
  • How many of your muscles can you name? Perhaps draw around yourself on some old wallpaper and label your body. Carry out research to learn new body parts.

Have a great Tuesday,

Miss Whit 🙂

Rabbits Home Learning for Tuesday 7th July

Good Morning Rabbits

Warm Up Task:  here are some questions for you to think about.  You could write the answers down or just remember them in your head.

  • What is your favourite colour?
  • What is your favourite place?
  • What is your favourite toy?
  • What is your favourite snack?

Can you think of any other questions you might ask someone if you wanted to get to know them?

Maths: Today, there are some maths problems that I would like you to solve.

Maths Tuesday 7th

English:  Yesterday I asked you to write up a persuasive speech that was all about the damage that pollution does to the oceans.  Today, I would like you to think abut how to persuade people to stop using so much plastic waste.

Short Phrases – these are little collections of words that can be instructions or actions.  You can use these as slogans –  Think about the adverts that you see on T.V.

Tescos “Every Little Helps”

MacDonald’s “I’m Lovin’ It”

there are many, many more that you probably know.

I want you to write a short slogan that persuades people to think about how much plastic they are using when they buy things, or go shopping.

You should ideally use about 3 words in your phrase.  These are the most catchy.

STOP PLASTIC POLLUTION!  THINK BEFORE YOU THROW!

Can you make some of your own now?

When you hare happy with your slogans (you need to have about 4)  I would like you to create posters of these.  Use large letters and some images that would persuade people about the danger of plastic in the sea.

Project: Find out what you can about recycling in your area.  Can you make a list of the things that your neighbourhood does to help recycle your household waste?

You might have the following:

  • green bins
  • black bins
  • bottle bins
  • can bins
  • paper bank

What other things can you list that you have in your home?  Do you recycle?

Please watch this clip about the plastic recycling.

I would like you to draw a cycle – the journey that the bottle takes to re-cycle it.  You could use a diagram like this.

cycle

I hope you have a good day – and that you have something to think about!
