Rabbits home learning Tuesday 31st March

Good Morning Rabbits

I hope you had fun making cards yesterday – let me have pictures when you have finished them won’t you?

Today:  English Grammar  these are set on Education City and should keep you busy with fronted adverbials.

Maths:  there are maths tasks on My Maths – these are fractions and division tasks.  Do your best!

Writing:  Can you please take the key words from this week’s spelling list and write up full sentences with each word.

Topic:  I have been seeing some wonderful topic activities that you have been doing.  Remember to take a task from the grid that we made and work on something different today.  You might like to think about the daily act of kindness at this time of year.  Again, keep a note of this in your diary.

I hope you enjoy today’s activities.  I miss you all!  Mrs Cooke

Rabbits step-by-step guide to making an Easter Chick card.

Good morning Rabbits – well it’s the last day of the month today and I thought it was time to get making some cards for Easter.  I hope you practiced some of those key words from the spelling list to avoid making little mistakes.

I have photographed myself making the card in a step-by-step method and also written down the instructions below. Good luck!

Card making:  Take some paper and draw an oval shape.  It needs to be about the size of your hand.  Put your fingers together and draw around the outside of your hand then ‘perfect’ the shape by re-drawing until you have the correct egg-shape.

Draw a zig-zag line towards the top – as if the top of the egg is cracking open.

Colour your egg in any design you like.

Cut the zig-zag lines so that you have two pieces of egg now, cut open as if you have cut the top off a boiled egg.

Now draw a little chick’s head.  A circle and a beak, 2 eyes and yellow fluff or coloured pen/pencil.

Stick the chick at the top of the egg as if it is poking out of its egg.  When you are happy with the position you can then stick the top of the egg onto the chick’s head.

Fold a piece of paper into a card shape, stick the egg and chick onto the card.  The rest is up to you!  I have included photos of the activity for you to follow.

Rabbits Homework set on 6 March 2020

To summarise the work we have been doing on shape, in maths, the children are asked to look at images of artworks made using triangles.  I would like them to create their own shape picture using triangles of different sizes, rectangles and diamond shapes.  Please colour the picture to make it more interesting.  They have been given a slip of paper with the images on – or they can access these on line following

Please also read the reading books and mark the progress in reading diaries.  Please ensure these come to school each morning.  I have set Times Tables Rock Stars practice on-line and these also need to be accessed for homework.

Please remember to bring in the homework before Tuesday of each week.

Ruyton History

The topic this term is all about our local history – we have begun the term with a study of the way houses and streets have changed.  This week we were looking at the origins of the school.  We will be delving deeper into the history of Ruyton and we have our local expert visiting next week to help the children understand why the town is here and how history has shaped us.

I am encouraging anyone in the town to use the walking guide by Yoland Brown to support the children in understanding how the town has changed over time.

Next week we will finish our class book The Wreck of the Zanzibar and will begin reading some more books that are based on diaries which will support the children’s writing.

 

Homework for final week of term.

Please make sure the children have read their reading books and marked down the page number in their reading diaries.  They will get marks on their record to go towards the final prize hamper for the most reading entries in their reading diaries.
