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:

Please use TTRS to practice your times tables: https://www.ttrockstars.com/login

You can also use arithmequiz 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 to practice a variety of arithmetic style questions to improve your fluency.

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!

Thank you for your cooperation,

Miss Taylor and Miss Osmond

Science:

This week we will be exploring materials and their properties. How many different materials can you find in your house? Why are different objects made from different materials? Which materials in your house need to conduct heat? Which materials need to be opaque to block out sunlight? Which materials are the most suitable for cooking? Why? You could write a list or make a leaflet about different materials and their properties. Follow the link below to help:
