Dear all<\/p>\n

Here is our home learning for the week including our weekly family science activity and music exploration. We so hope that you enjoy this learning together. May we take this opportunity to say that there is no need to complete all of the learning below! The focus should be on maths, English and reading and then maybe you could choose one other project to do from the home learning ideas? Or more if you want to obviously! Make this time at home enjoyable and treasure the time you are together having fun!<\/p>\n

Remember that you can send us a piece of the children\u2019s work or an activity that they want to share every week on our new class email addresses:<\/p>\n

Turtleclass@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Pufferfishclass@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

We would love to see what the children are getting up to at home! Thank you to all of you who have sent in pictures so far. Keep them coming!<\/p>\n

Just a reminder about the letter that Mr Cunningham sent you last week from the DFE. It will have daily phonics lesson for the children following the letters and sounds programme that we use in school. We hope it is helpful!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to look at Sumdog<\/u> for maths, reading and spelling challenges which will be updated each week. See also mymaths <\/u>for maths challenges.<\/em><\/p>\n

English reading and writing<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this weeks sequence of lessons you will be learning about the story of \u2018St George\u00a0 and the Dragon\u2019<\/em>. You will be doing some phonics focusing on the sound oa (goat), ow (snow)<\/strong> and o-e (bone)<\/strong> as well as some spellings linked to the story. You will be learning all about St George, who he was and learning a bit about the geography of the United Kingdom in the process! As last week you will be committing the story to memory and making a story map. Then you will be developing a character description of a dragon and describing its personality using some great adjectives to describe him\/her. Have fun!<\/p>\n

If it is a bit tricky or moves too fast for your child just focus on the key phonics being taught, or one version of the sound that your child knows e.g. oa<\/strong>, and on verbally retelling the story and writing some simple sentences rather than retelling the whole story. Drawing and labelling the dragon will be a great activity for all to tackle. Do what you feel is right for your child.<\/p>\n

If you have no or poor access to a computer or similar see if you can find out about the story of St George and the Dragon and follow the plan as outlined above. This is a nice sequence of activities that you can do without a computer!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We attach the following link again as it has some useful ideas. See page three. We are sure that you are doing many of them already!<\/p>\n

Science<\/u><\/strong>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This week we are going to think a bit more about where the minibeasts in our environment live \u2013 their habitat. When you have looked outside at minibeasts in your garden or park did you notice anything different about the sorts of places that they live? Were some out in the sunshine while others lived in cold, damp and dark places? Are some up in trees and bushes while others live underground? Did they all live together as a \u2018family\u2019 or are they insects that live on their own? Go and have a look outside and note down any observations you can make about their \u2018habitat\u2019. This little video shows a few different minibeasts in their habitats. The way that the bees and ants live is so clever!<\/p>\n

Topic<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Can you find out about what it was like to live and work in a mediaeval castle? What sorts of jobs did people in a castle do? What is the job of an armorer? Or the apothecary? And what was a cordwainer?! See if someone at home can help you to use the computer to do some research about jobs in a castle and then make a fact file with pictures to show what you have find out about the different jobs.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The video below is quite long and aimed at older children \/ adults but is quite interesting in talking about who and how you become an armourer and with some modern day demonstration of how armour was made. Your adult might like to find some bits in the video that may be interesting to you! It is a bit longwinded!<\/p>\n

Music<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Aquarium<\/u>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Listen carefully to the music.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oCUtOKsmOZ8<\/a><\/p>\n

Can you spot when it gets loud and quiet?<\/p>\n

What might live in the aquarium? What else might you see?Could you create an aquarium in a bowl of water? How might the animals move around?<\/p>\n

Family Science Activity \u2013 Friday 8th<\/sup> May <\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

THE SCIENCE OF OOBLECK<\/strong><\/h2>\n

https:\/\/www.science-sparks.com\/how-to-make-oobleck\/<\/a><\/h2>\n

Did you notice that if you make a ball with oobleck or gloop it feels solid, but if you drop the oobleck on the floor it turns liquid again? The slime is a\u00a0non \u2013 Newtonian fluid<\/strong>\u00a0as it doesn\u2019t flow like liquids normally do.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Fnd-2jetT1w<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cornflour gloop ( oobleck )\u00a0 is made up of molecules arranged in long chains. When the chains are stretched the liquid will flow, but when you force them together they stick together to form a solid.<\/p>\n
