D.T. – Diet, Nutrition and Hygiene.
This week we have looked at different diets and how not everyone needs the same nutrition if they have a different lifestyle or job. Continue this work at home by creating breakfast, lunch, tea, snacks and drinks for either a celebrity or an occupation of your choice.

Value – Generosity
How can someone show generosity without expecting the same in return? Think back to Monday’s assembly and sometimes it’s the act of giving that makes us feel good rather than receiving. Write about a time that you’ve been generous and it made you feel happy.

Home Learning – Wednesday 28th June 2023

This Wednesday afternoon we would like you to complete some of the following tasks.

If you complete a task, you should upload it to your portfolio on your dojo account or you can bring in anything completed on paper into school tomorrow.

Reading:

Can I remind parents and children that we expect three signatures a week from parents in your child’s reading record to show that children have read at home either to a parent, a sibling or independently.

Literacy:

This week we have started exploring portal narratives. Portal narratives often start with someone doing their usual routine or something that seems ‘normal.’ They then get sucked into a portal which takes them to another dimension, time in history or into the future. If you could choose a portal to go through, where would you end up? What would it be like? Draw a picture and annotate using adjectives to describe where you would go if you could go through a portal.

Computing:

Using stop-start animation, create an animation of a character of your choice going through a portal into a new dimension. You could draw your characters and settings or use any toys or figures you already have at home.

Maths:

Jigsaw

We have been looking at self-esteem in Jigsaw and how we see ourselves. Your task this week is to write 5 things you like about yourself. Then, ask someone in your family to write 5 things they like about you. You can then write 5 things you like about someone in your family or someone at school. Make sure you share these with me.

Science

Over the last few weeks we have been exploring different properties of materials, magnetism, floating and sinking and many other properties. Experiment with different objects in your house (please ask an adult before you choose your objects), thinking about the following things:

What is the mass of the object?
Does it float or sink?
Is it magnetic?
How does the object feel?
What does it look like?
Does it absorb water?

Don’t’ forget to show me your work on Dojo or bring it into school!

Reading:

Can I remind parents and children that we expect three signatures a week from parents in your child’s reading record to show that children have read at home either to a parent, a sibling or independently.

On Monday 12th June we launched ‘Read for Good’ on Track My Read. We will be aiming to read 1,000,000 minutes as a school before the end of term. The link below will take you to the login page. Please have a go at adding a book you have read to the Track My Read once you have your login and password: https://trackmyread.org/school/st-pauls-cofe-primary-school-912126

Literacy:

This week we will be completing our formal letters and will begin looking at Tanka poems. A tanka poem is an ancient Japanese form of poetry that is categorised by the number of syllables in each line, totaling 31 syllables. These poems traditionally are about seasons, nature, desires, or feelings, and often include many different types of literary devices, such as personification, metaphors, and similes. Tankas typically present a whole story or picture within the 31 syllables.

We would like you to learn the Tanka below ready for a class poetry slam.

A pool of sunlight

Bathes the stormy evening bay.

A lonely heron

Stands still, a cunning statue,

Waiting for unwary fish.

You could also have a go at writing your own Tanka poem. Or you could rewrite this poem and add images to reflect what the poem is about.

Computing:

This week we would like the children to think about how the things they access on the internet can support but also hinder their well-being and mental health. We often search symptoms of illnesses or concerns online, but how do we know the advice we read is accurate. With this in mind we would like the children to create a piece where they will give advice to other children in their age group around accessing information online to aid health and well-being. Create a mind map, poster or leaflet which should include top tips of how you can use the internet to access trusted sites to support you and include how talking to a professional is advised.

Create a film or animation: The film can be animation or live action. Create a ‘do’s/don’ts’ information film. The films should include top tips of how you can use the internet to access trusted sites to support you and include how talking to a professional is advised.

Something else: Encourage learners to think of other ways to convey information e.g. infographics, memes, audio recordings like songs or radio adverts, displaying tips through gaming content like a Minecraft world or Roblox game! Creativity is key!
