This week we are looking at Shadows. Click on the link below to watch the videos from Espresso about ‘shadows’ and ‘opaque, translucent and transparent.’ Once you have watched the videos, you can have a go at carrying out the experiment. Remember to write about the experiment and draw some diagrams of what you did.

Can you make shadows?

What you will need
Torch or other source of light
Paper screen or wall
Objects made of different materials.

What to do
Find out what kind of materials block the light to make a shadow.
Write about the experiment and put your results in a table.
Draw a labelled diagram.

Can you sort the objects into these categories or groups opaque, transparent, translucent?

As an extra activity, you could use your knowledge from your experiment to create a shadow puppet show.

Topic

We are continuing to look at Coastal Regions for our Topic work. I would like you to think about and discuss the names of as many coastal tourist destinations as you can both in the UK and around the world.

Can you find twenty of the major coastal tourist destinations in the UK and around the world and add them to the maps I have attached below for you. You can use the internet to help you find them on your maps and you may like to do some extra reading about the destinations and choose one to create a poster about.

French

Again this is an extra activity like the Art if you would like to have a go at it. The activity is looking at how to say different types of weather in French. Here is a link to a video on Espresso looking at different types of weather:

There is also a useful powerpoint from Twinkl you could have a look at:

Once you have had a look at the video and the powerpoint have a go at this worksheet from Twinkl

Draw the Weather

You could also have a go at creating your own poster in French about different types of weather if you would like to.

Art

I am uploading this as an extra activity for you to have a go at if you would like to. It is looking at making your own animated flip book. I have attached a BBC Bitesize video for you to watch before you have a go at creating your books.

To All our Home Learners

Hi to all our home learning children (some of you might need your parents to read this to you!),

I just wanted to update you on this week and say that we haven’t forgotten you! As part of the government guidance, some children have come back to school. We have had to make lots of plans ready including making sure that there is enough space between the tables and giving everyone their own resources. We have had to use a strict ‘keep left’ policy for the corridors too.

So, I think we have all experienced lots of different emotions this week. I expect you have had lots of different feelings while working and being at home too. We often talk about our feelings in school so I wonder if you might want to use this video and tell someone at home how you are feeling at home.

I am feeling happy that we have have a good week in school and have seen a few of our children. I am also a bit sad that we haven’t started the second part of the summer term seeing all of you. We know that keeping safe is the most important thing we can all do and that this plan is best for now. Keep going with your home learning!

I have also seen this song (Just Sing!) which some of you might like to learn too!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ut5_ZaEAS3s&feature=youtu.be

A prayer to share

Dear God,

Thank you for all the feelings we have and that it is good to talk to others about them.

It is fine to feel sad or scared sometimes

And it’s great to feel happy when we can.

Please help us control our bad feelings and not let them take over us.

Amen

Maths -Friday 5th June

There are no new videos for Friday this week. Instead, I have attached a consolidation packs each for year 3 and year 4. These are reasoning and problems solving.

For year 3 these use the addition and subtraction skills you have been looking at this week and last.  Year-3-Addition-and-Subtraction-pulling it all together

For year 4, these use some of the fraction skills you have looked at both in school and in your home learning this week. Year-4-Fractions – pulling it all together

As usual, we love your feedback and news – it really helps us with planning. If there are any areas of maths you feel you need to go back over, please let us know.
