Last Week's Star Learners!

Monday

Maths

Today we are learning about perimeter. There is a great lesson here to recap what is perimeter, and in this lesson you will look at measuring perimeter. There are also activities and PowerPoints on Teams, for you to complete.

English

Today I’d like you to read from the beginning of the book, up to “…fought and argued noisily. All the time.

Whilst you are reading, be thinking carefully about the characters of Rose and Jack. Afterwards, in Teams you will find your activities.

Topic (R.E.)

In R.E. today we will be thinking about Lent and how people give of themselves. Start by reading the story of this man, Andrew Parker (you will find it in Teams).

After you’ve read the story, answer these questions:

How do you feel about Andrew?

How did Andrew give himself for others?

Do you know anyone who gives themselves for others, perhaps in small but important ways? What do they do?

Why do you think people are brave and give themselves to others?

In today’s live lesson, you will talk about some Saints who gave of themselves. You will need to draw them and describe what they did.

 

Tuesday

Maths

We are continuing with perimeter, please check the slides in Teams, there there is a lesson here – which is very helpful.

Afterwards, you have some activities to complete in Teams.

English

Please read Slide 7 to Slide 15 looking at the descriptions of the Tunnel.

Writing

Use the senses sheet in Teams to describe the inside of the tunnel from the story.

Topic (Science)

What would happen if we didn’t have a skeleton? Invite children to share their ideas. • Go through the information on the slides explaining that without a skeleton we would be a mess of skin, muscle and organs on the floor! The skeleton supports the body and keeps everything in the right place. It also protects some of our internal organs. Can you think of any organs that are protected by our skeleton? Go through the answers on the slides (brain, lungs, heart, spinal cord). • Some animals do not have a skeleton inside their bodies. These animals are called invertebrates. Can you think of any invertebrates? How do they move and protect themselves? Children to think, pair, share their ideas. Go through the examples on the slides of a lobster, snail and worm. • Tell children that today they will be researching some different invertebrates to find out how they are supported and protected without a skeleton.

STUDY the hidden images in the forest – what can you see?

DRAW and describe – what can Rose see in the mysterious wood?

SHOW what Rose was thinking and feeling when she saw Jack as a stone statue (thought bubbles)

 

Think about the ending – they smile at each other. What is Jack now thinking/feeling about his sister?

Topic (Geography)

Geography – Volcanoes Lesson 2

STUDY Volcano slides/powerpoint

Show children images of volcanoes that are erupting. Ask your class what they see in the pictures and what happens. • Ask children to discuss what happens when a volcano erupts. • Explain to your class how the Earth is made. Discuss the layers of the Earth and where magma (lava) comes from. • Explain to your children how a volcano erupts. Discuss the process involved and show the diagram on the slide. • Discuss with your class the different types of eruptions and show diagrams to explain these. • Talk with your children about the harmful substances that escape when a volcano erupts. • Explain to your class that people live in areas where volcanoes are. Ask your class how their lives would be affected when a volcano erupts. • Show an image of a town near a volcano and discuss the issues the people of this town may face if the volcano erupted. How would they survive the eruption? What would they need to do?

Following Boris Johnson’s 8pm announcement we now know that as of midnight tonight the country has entered a new period of Lockdown, a Lockdown that includes the closure of school. 

School will be open for the children of Key Workers and for pupils who are deemed vulnerable. All pupils will be provided with work in order for them to keep learning. 

Tonight’s announcement was very short notice for you as parents and also for us as a Staff. Tomorrow, by 11am there will be three tasks on the school website for each Class to complete as their Tuesday learning. However, School will be closed to ALL pupils tomorrow. 

 

Staff, however, will be in school preparing for the rest of the Lockdown. Through tomorrow we will prepare school to make it safe for Key worker pupils and vulnerable children to return. 

We will send out a form for you to apply for a place in the Keyworker Bubbles and we will let you know more about how children will be learning remotely. We will do our very best to re-open to Key Worker children and vulnerable pupils by Wednesday. 

I am aware of how difficult this is for you all, School closing creates a multitude of problems for everyone but data surrounding this awful disease dictates that this is a necessary step. As ever, the safety and health of everyone must be a priority. 

Thank you for your continued support and we will be in frequent contact over the next few days. 

Many thanks

Claire Halstead
