Max’s Art Project

We’ve been very impressed in school by the effort Max has made towards an art project during his lockdown time. We’ve already enjoyed his painting earlier in the term, but I thought you would all enjoy seeing the final project that Max has submitted; it is something Max should be very proud of and I know you will all be impressed by this final presentation.

Have a look at the link below which takes you to his work.

Max Arts Award

Congratulations Max for putting such brilliant focus into this and thank you for sharing your journey in art – I’m very proud of you.

A special assembly

Place2Be’s royal patron HRH The Duchess of Cambridge will lead an online assembly for the Oak National Academy today  (Thursday 18 June), during which she will speak about the importance of children’s mental wellbeing.

HRH leading virtual assembly

The theme of The Duchess’ assembly is ‘spread a little kindness’ and it is based on a lesson plan developed by Place2Be which is available on the Mentally Healthy Schools platform.The assembly encourages children to explore ways in which they can show kindness and recognise the benefits of kindness to others.

Oak National Academy is an online classroom providing video lessons and free resources to parents and teachers. It was created in response to the lockdown, supporting teachers educating their pupils remotely, and since its launch has delivered over 12 million lessons to children and young people.

During the assembly, The Duchess will say:

“Talking to someone, whether it’s a friend, family member, or teacher, is something you can do to make yourself feel that little bit better. And you can also play your part in helping others to feel better too, whether offering a friendly ear, or helping someone in need. Small acts of kindness can go such a long way. But as we help others, we mustn’t forget to nurture ourselves, by taking the time to focus on the things that make us feel happy too.”

As part of the assembly, The Duchess joined a video call with students from Waterloo Primary Academy in Blackpool, whose parents have been working on the frontline during the coronavirus pandemic. The children shared photographs they had taken and submitted to The Duchess’s Hold Still photography project, based around one of its central themes, ‘Acts of Kindness,’ and discussed some of the ways they had been spreading kindness themselves in recent weeks.

The assembly will live on the Oak National Academy website on Thursday 18th June.

Maths:  I have the white rose maths links below.  If you would rather, here is a link to some different types of worksheets:

Year 2 Measuring

Year 3 maths

Project:  I hope you enjoyed the cartoon version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.  For today, I want you to do a little research about Midsummer.  I have provided a link to information and I would like you to answer the questions on the sheet.

Summer Solstice

Summer Pudding:  here is a recipe for a traditional English pudding that we eat around this time of year  https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/classic-summer-pudding

See if you can gather some of these ingredients and make your own some time.

Midsummer Traditions:

Did you know that Midsummer is also the celebration of St John the Baptist Day?  Have a look at this short piece of writing about the old English tradition.

England[edit]

In late 14th-century England, John Mirk of Lilleshall AbbeyShropshire, gives the following description: “At first, men and women came to church with candles and other lights and prayed all night long. In the process of time, however, men left such devotion and used songs and dances. The church fathers decided to put a stop to these practices and ordained that people should fast on the evening before,

Fasting is not eating any food – would you like to go without food all day on Saturday?  No, nor would I!

The Solstice means that the sun is out for the longest time – we have the longest day.  Can you list all of the things that you would do in the 16 hours of sunshine that we are going to have on Sunday?

Have a lovely day

Mrs Cooke.

Rabbits Home Learning for 17 June

Good Morning Rabbits

Are you ready for more learning?

Here is a brain-teaser to get you started:  Brain teaser

English:  I have a starter task for you.  Then you can access either Bitesize or Oak Academy for today’s lesson:  Opposites Starter Game

Maths: Please continue with the pages from yesterday’s link.  I have shared it again today:

file:///H:/Home%20Learning%20Week%207/Year%203%20Maths.pdf  (Year 2)

file:///C:/Users/m.cooke/AppData/Local/Packages/Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe/TempState/Downloads/7609.pdf (Year 3)

Project:  I have a short clip for you to watch first of all. This is an animation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Before you watch it, please think of these two questions:

1.:  Where is the first scene set?  Do you know who’s house it is?

2:  The rustics (or workmen) are rehearsing a play – can you find out which characters are in the play?

You might like to see the whole film but it lasts about 20 minutes:

3:  Do you think Oberon and Titania are happy with each other – or cross with each other?

4. What type of character is Puck?

 

I hope you enjoy watching this animation.

Have a great day

Mrs Cooke.
