Today I’d like you to start a weather diary. Record what the weather is like when you start your school work, again after dinner and again before you go to bed. Has the weather been the same all day or has it changed? Do this every school day for a week and see what you can find out about the weather where you live.
You might like to use the sheets and do the activities below too, they are all about the weather.
Recording the weather – You could use this sheet to keep your weather diary.
Weather report sheet – You can make your own weather board to use each day
Paper Dolls and Clothes and Weather Cards for paper dolls – Dress the dolls in the right clothes for the right weather.
Rabbits – home learning for Thursday 2nd July
Good morning Rabbits – thank you for sending me some of the lovely work you have been doing. It is great to keep in touch with you while you are home.
I hope you enjoyed the science task and the healthy tasks – it is sometimes good to remind ourselves to take good care of our minds and bodies.
Handwriting – have a go at writing out the spelling words from this week please. This time, make them into a spiral – start with the words in the middle of the page and turn your page around and around to make a spiral of different words.
English: The Little Boat film is still our main inspiration for writing this week. You have done some work on thought bubbles and what the boat might be thinking as it moves along the sea. Today, I would like you to think about the way the boat is slowly broken then slowly re-built. I would like a paragraph (or two) that describes what happens to the boat. You will need time connectives such as “next, then, after that, before long, after a while” and you will then need to write down all the damage that took place. The boat’s sail was torn, the bomb broke the wood and left a hole in the side. Then do the same thing with the sequence of events that re-built the boat.
Maths: Please take a look at the pages from UR Brainy. These rely on you using your logical maths thinking to fill in the numbers and maths operation to solve the maths sentences. You will soon get into the swing of this.
PSHE: we have thought about our bodies, our minds, our skin and today we are thinking about our eyes.
Consider what you do to protect your eyes? Do you do anything? If you wear glasses, you might be protecting them from straining when you read or watch T.V.
Have a look at this clip from youtube.
Your eyes are delicate – they need to be taken seriously!
I would like you to make a drawing of an eye (it can be your eye or someone else’s eye) Here is another clip to help you to help with the drawing.
When you have drawn your eye, can you add a box of information on how you can care for your eyes – use the information in the film to help you.
Have a great day!

Well-Being Wednesday
Well-being Wednesday
Hi 👋🏼 everyone!
I hope you’ve had a fun week!
Lately, I’ve been thinking about all the things that I have not been able to do or missed because of lockdown. So my family and I have created a Jar of hope.
The idea is that every time you think of something you would like to do when the crisis is over, you write it down and put it in the jar.
It could be to visit someone special, go to the seaside or go out for a family meal. It’s up to you.
Therefore, what I would like you to do is write down some things that you are looking forward to and pop them in a special jar or box. You could also ask the other members of your family to write down their ideas too! Then when things are better, you’ll have something to look forward too!
I would as always love to hear your ideas! So please feel free to email me on, viner.l@ruyton.shropshire.sch.uk
Take care 🌈
Mrs Viner

Topic:
Wildlife Wednesday: Get yourself a piece of paper and a pencil. Find a place to sit in the garden (or sit by an open window). If you’re outside pop a mark in the middle of the paper, if you’re by a window pop a mark at the edge of the paper. This mark represents where you’re sat. Close your eyes, be quiet and listen to the naturals sounds around you. Open your eyes and mark it on the paper with something that represents the sound and where it is in relation to you i.e. a bird at the top of their paper to represent a bird in the distance in front of them singing.
I wonder what kinds of noises you’ll hear in your garden…
If you have any problems or any work you’d like to send us to see please contact Nikki in the office and she will forward it onto us. We love seeing what you get up to!
Have a great day!
Miss Horton 🙂

Rabbits Home Learning for Wednesday 1st July
Good Morning Rabbits – Happy Middle of the Week Day!
Today we will continue the writing task based on the short film – Little Boat.
We will have a look at the maths that are set on Bitesize and do some more reading from the short stories that I found on line.
Grammar: Please can you do some short grammar tasks from the attached sheet that I have created. You have to add a time phrase to the sentences:
English: yesterday, you wrote a part of the story and wrote a transition paragraph. Today, you are going to focus on using speech in your story.
I would like you to use the speech bubble sheet (attached) and make some suggestions of what the boat would be thinking as it makes its way through the dark sea, the sea filled with rubbish and then when she gets broken and battered. Think of a few sentences that might express how it feels.
Can you then watch the very short part where the seagulls fly past and mend the sails. Can you write a few sentences to explain what they did – how this helped the boat and what the boat might have thought.
Maths: bbc bitesize has a maths lesson for either year 2 or year 3.
If you prefer, I have included these maths-based challenges that you could do.
PSHE – More ideas for today are to think about how we can keep ourselves staying positive and happy.
Mrs Viner is excellent at giving us ideas for keeping well in our minds. This is another way to do some ‘Self-Care’ to keep you positive.
Write a list:
You need a large piece of paper and a lot of coloured pens or pencils.
You need to write two columns (so draw a line down the middle of the paper)
One one side you are going to write “THINGS I KNOW” and on the other side “THINGS OTHER PEOPLE TELL ME”
In the first column, you are going to list all the things that you KNOW you are good at doing, or you are good at being. You could add anything that is positive and that is something you are aware of for yourself.
In the second column, you are going to write a list of all the things other people tell you that are positive. Your parents will be telling you things all the time about how special you are, how wonderful you are, what lovely hairy you have etc. You need to remember all the lovely things that people say about you – include your friends and me! I have said some good things about all of you too.
Your list should be colourful, LONG and full of positive things about you.
When you finish the list – decorate the page and turn it into a picture by adding a pretty border.
Keep this and keep looking it at it. You might persuade someone else in your family to make one too – Mums and Dads need plenty of encouragement you know!
Have a super day
Mrs Cooke.
