Rabbits – Home learning for 3rd June

Good morning Rabbits

It has been a great start to the week and I hope you are all back into the swing of things at home; mixing a bit of work with a lot of fun!

Handwriting – Please can you write out the spelling words for this week but I would like you to do this in a volcano shape. I suggest that you draw the outline of the volcano on a piece of paper and then add the words to fill the shape of the volcano.

Reading: I have two different reading tasks for you today – year 2 and year 3 but the year 3 task is quite advanced. Good luck!

Year 2 Comprehension June 3rd

Year 3 (advanced) comprehension June 3rd

English: please follow the BBC Bitesize for today.

Maths: please work on the correct year group activity today:

Y3 Lesson 3 – Fractions of a set of objects (1) 2019

Y3 Lesson 3 Answers – Fractions of a set of objects (1) 2019

Y2-Week-6-Worksheets

Project: Today, I have set a more time-consuming challenge which should take you two days. I hope that you have enjoyed learning a little about volcanoes. You will have learned about the various vocabulary that is used, and also made a diagram about the Earth’s insides. Today, I would like you to get crafty again. Your challenge is to make an animation of a volcanic explosion. You can use either drawings, models or pictures but you have to find a way to sequence the images so that they look like an explosion happening.

Drawing Animation: we once made a zeotrope in class – a sequence of drawings that were slightly different each time but when you looked at them quickly, they appeared to be moving. Here is a short clip that shows you how to create an animation using sketches. I don’t think you need to see the whole thing – you will remember about drawing each picture slightly different –

Picture animation: you can use pictures in a sequence, if you are able to find a series of still photos of a volcano eruption, you can sequence them and do the same action of flipping the pages to show the movement.

Model animation: This is a bit more time consuming and tricky – but I think it is also a lot more fun and a wonderful challenge. If you can model a volcano from clay, playdough or other modelling material, you can make the animation using a phone camera. You need to take each picture then move the model a small amount. You can use different coloured clay or play dough for the lava flow and make it drip down the side of the volcano slowly. See what wonders you can create!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Dragonfly Class – Tuesday 2nd June

Morning all,

A quick thank you to Torin & his mum who notified me that they couldn’t find the classwork yesterday – I’m not sure if it was the same for everyone, apologies if so, but once they’d given me a quick heads up their problem was sorted. Please do give us a shout if there are any issues! We had a busy day in school yesterday – it was lovely to see all the teachers and TAs and talk about all of YOU! We very much look forward to your laughter and voices filling the classrooms again. Mrs O says a huge ‘hello’ to each of you too! (She has curly hair and looked very glam!)

Here are your learning activities for today:

Reading: Bitesize had a great activity on the last day of last half term… I know some of you have even been getting the books to continue reading once you’ve completed these tasks! Have a go yourself by following the links:

2. Spellings: Access the link below for your year group and learn the set list. You could print the handwriting sheet OR present it in your Homework Pack.

Year 3 Spellings Week 1

Year 4 Spellings Week 1

Year 5 Spellings Week 1

3. Maths:

White Rose Maths activities can be found below. I suggest you look at the activity sheets first and think about what you already know. Then watch the video which will help you with your understanding. Finally, complete the sheet then mark it but try and work out where any mistakes you made came from using the asnwers.

To access the related video, go to the usual White Rose and find Week 6.

4. English: You have an option this week, depending on what you prefer.

Option 1 : Bitesize (which we frequently use)

Option 2: Oak Academy – Izzy and Max produced some OUTSTANDING poetry from this unit of work before half-term that I have seen.

See the links below.

Option 1: Year 4 Bitesize (brackets) or Year 5 Bitesize

Option 2: Lesson 1 – News Reports

Other ideas for Tuesday:

PE: Do what you can to get in your hour of exercise. I’ll be going for a bike ride today plus a dog walk later 🙂
TT Rockstars: The Inter House Tournament continues – your next match against each house! Play ‘Battle’ to earn your team points.
Geography:

Check out the Geography learning on Bitesize today which is all about weather and climate. This is particularly significant at the moment as we are experiencing such hot, dry weather – I believe May was the driest since 1896! It’s causing a huge amount of difficulties for farmers too; the crops aren’t growing and the soil is desperately dry. As a task, could you present a weather video to teach your viewers what the weather has been like, the current situation and maybe even forecast what it’s going to be like this week? Good luck! (I always wanted to be a weather presenter when I was little!)

Have a great day – remember your suncream and hats!

Miss Whit 🙂

Rabbits – Home learning from 2nd June

Good Morning Rabbits

I hope you are all well and excited about learning today. I am so sorry to those who were unable to open some of the documents. I have attached the word search to the spellings page for today.

Warm up – here is a crossword puzzle for you – but you have to complete it yourself! Volcanos Crossword Puzzle You will need to look at the vocabulary that I have also provided to work out the answers!

Lava Plume Crater Magma Volcanic Fissure

English: Please see the BBC Bitesize lesson for today and the Education City grammar activity.

Project: To continue with Volcanoes, I have included some more information on how a volcano is formed. Take a look at the powerpoint. 6. Structure of a volcano

Can you now do one of your amazing cartoon-strips for me? I would like 8 squares each showing the sequence of the volcano’s eruption. You can use vibrant colours and you need to explain in one sentence, what is happening in each of the pictures. Remember this is an ACTIVE VOLCANO as it is exploding right now! You could give your volcano a name – something that sounds exciting or from a distant place.

For your reading – I have included a legend of a volcano – they are all around the earth and these legends that I will give you to read each day will show you where on earth they have appeared over the centuries:

Activity idea for everyone from Anouk: Puppetry!

Anouk has sent in a link to a brilliant website which is full of ideas linking to puppetry, in case this interests you.

https://www.beverleypuppetfestival.com/activities

I think the leatherback turtle puppet looks amazing! I’d love to make this, although I have a feeling my skills will begin with the ‘potato monsters’ or ‘playing with food’!

Team Collins South African Marathon!

We received a lovely update from the Collins family over half term that Jamie and Ella’s friends will be amazed to see!

To Jamie and Ella: We are so proud of you for all your achievements below and particularly for thinking about other children in need. You are an inspiration! Thank you for telling us all about it. I wonder what plan you have for June?!?

Here is their update:

“Our family decided for the month of May …we would challenge ourselves to do the South African virtual Comrades Marathon, completing 90km by either walking or cycling.

We were thrilled to see Mrs Viner’s challenge of Harry’s Rainbow run🌈 and dedicated the first sponsored 10 km to Ella and Jamie’s “Harry’s Rainbow run”(see plotted it on our map.🐸🌈)

Thank you so much it was a really positive addition to our personal challenge and was good for the children to feel they were fundraising for a great cause! Jamie said “ I feel proud that I could be active in lockdown and do something good for the Harry Johnson Trust.”
I’ve logged and plotted their progress each week and there is an interactive virtual map. In South Africa this marathon alternates as an uphill race from Durban to Pietermaritzburg and then downhill the following year.
We followed the virtual 2020 route which is a down ‘run’ ( walk/ cycle for us!) from Pietermaritzburg to Durban. Normally it starts at 5.30am and cut off is at 5.30 pm ,thank goodness we had the whole of May!! We are thrilled to announce that Ella and Jamie finished their 90 km target this morning !!! They did a lap of honour around the Roundabout!🙂🌈🚲

The Comrades Marathon should be held on 14th June but has been postponed. We thought it was a good focus for our month of May activity, and our well-being really benefited , through the lockdown, from this too.👍🙂

A message from Jamie and Ella…
“Thank you for your challenge Miss Whitt and Mrs Viner we loved doing it!”
Please see pics of the progress map and pic collage.

What do you need to grow and care for a seed? Collect everything you think you will need from around your house or garden. If you have a packet of seeds you might like to then plant them and look after then every day to see what happens. These posters will help you plant your seeds. How to grow a plant posters

Perhaps you can put one pot on a windowsill, one in a cupboard and one outside. You can even have one that you don’t water and another that has no soil to see if that makes any difference to how it grows. Keep a diary of what you do to care for your seed(s) each day and to note down any changes you see.

Dragonfly Class – Monday 1st June

Good morning Dragonflies!

I hope you’ve had a fab week staying safe in the sunshine. I don’t know about you, but I’ve been outside constantly! I’ve enjoyed some lovely long runs over half-term and on Saturday set myself a challenge of completing a half-marathon (that’s 13.1 miles) which took me 1 hour and 50 minutes in the morning sun. I felt very proud of my achievement so rewarded myself with the biggest ice cream I could find 🙂 We also set on the job of building a fence for my chickens who have been VERY naughty… Ginger has decided she’s a house chicken (constantly found at Briar’s bowl), Road Runner has taken to following Ginger into the house too whilst Shirley & Bassey have taken it upon themselves to dig up my flowers in pots! So they’re having a sturdy but roomy run made at the bottom of the garden. I look forward to hearing some of your updates this week – I’ve no doubt there will be some fun Dragonfly stories to tell!

To start your day, why don’t you check out Newsround and catch up on what’s been happening? I watched SpaceX being launched on Saturday and saw the International Space Station pass over shortly after – did you see it?

Here are your learning activities for today:

Reading: Grab a book and lose yourself for 20 minutes! Then, can you create a picture of one of the characters?
