This week at my home we have had lots of fun in the garden, the boys have spent hours playing on the slip and slide which is lots of fun. We have also done some school learning and for maths we have used lego bricks to make tens and ones and added them together to make a higher number. We also played bingo with some tricky words to help remember them.

Have a look at some photographs on line or use your imagination to create your own fantasy castle fit for a knight or princess. The links below show different ways you could make a castle but you can let your imagination run riot and use whatever junk you have at home!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=how+to+make+a+castle+out+of+cardboard&amp;rlz=1C1OPRA_en&amp;oq=how+t+make+a+castle&amp;aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0l7.7173j0j9&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_oXG6XrXxDKGU1fAP2sSB4A089\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=how+to+make+a+castle+out+of+cardboard&amp;rlz=1C1OPRA_en&amp;oq=how+t+make+a+castle&amp;aqs=chrome.3.69i57j0l7.7173j0j9&amp;sourceid=chrome&amp;ie=UTF-8#kpvalbx=_oXG6XrXxDKGU1fAP2sSB4A089<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_BfmWyeZU38\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_BfmWyeZU38<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Music<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/donkey.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2601 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/donkey-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/donkey-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/donkey-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.stpeterswaterlooville.co.uk\/year1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/05\/donkey.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Persons with Long Ears<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the violin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VQfgeutobG8\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VQfgeutobG8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is this music sad or happy?<\/p>\n<p>Which kind of animals might have long ears?<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Art<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Art Challenge Famous Landmarks:<\/p>\n<p>For this week\u2019s Art Challenge I would like you produce some art that is linked to a famous landmark.\u00a0\u00a0Your landmark can be natural or man-made.

Stick a kebab skewer into one end of the piece of carrot and break the skewer so that you have only 2 or 3 cm of it sticking out. Try to stand the carrot piece up on the end of the kebab skewer \u2013 you should find this very difficult, if not impossible to do.<\/p>\n<p>Stage 2: Stick a kebab skewer into each side of the carrot so that they point downwards at about 45 degrees. Then stick a marshmallow or other jelly sweet onto the ends of the skewers, as shown in the picture below. Place this on top of a bottle and you should find that it balances.<\/p>\n<p>Get children to investigate what happens when you slide the marshmallows up and down the \u2018arms\u2019 of the sculpture and if you add more marshmallows. Stick an additional two or more kebab skewers into the carrot and challenge children to add at least one item to each skewer and still keep the sculpture balanced.<\/p>\n<p>Questions to ask children: With just central part of the sculpture: why doesn\u2019t this stay balanced? Before showing them stage 2: do you think we can use more kebab skewers and anything else to help it balance? Why do you think it balances like this? What can we change? (position of skewers, items pushed onto the skewers, position of things on skewers) What do you think will happen if we change these things? What do you think we need to do to make sure our sculpture balances?<\/p>\n<p>Going further:<\/p>\n<p>Try making some animal-shaped balancing toys: http:\/\/bit.ly\/AniBalance<\/p>\n<p>Make a balancing butterfly: http:\/\/bit.ly\/BalanceButterfly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We will start this week with some teacher news!!
