We are so very much looking forward to seeing some of you in school for an hour soon! Have a lovely week đ
Please remember as you go about completing this home learning that our priority is reading, writing and maths so use your time to complete the tasks set for those. Pick and choose from the other subjects e.g. science, music and art; there is no expectation to complete them all.

Challenge:
Science (2 weeks)
This week, we would like you to plan and complete a fact file on Worms! You can use the internet and books to support your research.
Here are a couple of websites you could use to complete your research:

Family Science Activity â Friday 26th June 2020
Giant Bubbles
https://www.rigb.org/families/experimental/giant-bubbles – watch the video
- Make a home-bubble mixture and wands. Use them to look more closely at the characteristics and behaviour of soap bubbles.
- ExpeRiment with different shapes and sizes of bubbles and see what you can and cannot control about bubbles. Learn how to make giant bubbles and find out why bubbles are usually round.
- Learn how to make giant bubbles and find out why bubbles are usually round.
https://www.rigb.org/docs/giantbubbles_infosheet_0_0.pdf – details on the information sheet.
You will need:
- Good quality washing up liquid
- Water
- Glycerin (optional)
- Plastic tub or other container for bubble mixture
- Measuring jug (optional)
- Various things with holes in them for blowing bubbles with. Watch the video for ideas. Straws, pipe cleaners, paperclips, coat hangers, cookie cutters and cake tins with removable bottoms are all particularly good.
- For giant bubbles: wooden spoons (or other sticks), a couple of metres of string and a small weight you can thread through it, like a metal key ring or nut.
What to do:
A mixture we found that works is 1 litre of water, 100ml of washing up liquid and 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of glycerin. Blow some bubbles!
Put a straw into your bubble solution and try blowing gently into the liquid. You should be able to make a lot of bubbles very quickly. Then dip one end of a straw into the solution, take it out and blow gently through the other end. See if you can control the size of bubble you can blow out of the straw.
Try making bubbles using things with bigger holes, like a paperclip or pipe cleaner bent into a circle. Try poking a dry finger into a bubble, then try the same thing after dipping your finger in bubble solution.
Try making bubbles inside bubbles by poking a straw dipped in bubble solution into an existing bubble and blowing again.
Try out objects with different shaped holes, like cookie cutters or pipe cleaners bent into other shapes. Try objects with really big holes, like a coat hanger or a cake baking tin with its bottom removed. Try making giant bubbles with the special wand we show you how to make in the video.
Going Further:
- You can experiment with your bubble mixture and giant bubble wand to see just how big you can get your bubbles to be. There are lots of different bubble mixture recipes on the internet, just search for âsoap bubble recipeâ.
- You could try making two or three of them and comparing how good the bubbles they make are.
Music
Week 5- The Wolf
Listen to this short piece of music and find a picture of a French horn.
How does this music make you feel?
What kind of character do you think the wolf is?
Can you draw a picture of him?
Religious Education
Our school patronal feast day takes place on Sunday 28th June. In order to prepare for this special time of the year, please choose ONE of the following activities in order to learn more about St. PeterâŚ
- Write a diary entry as St. Peter, when he escaped from prison. Describe how he felt when the Lord sent an angel to free him from the jail that Herod had cruelly locked him up in. How did they get out of the prison?
- Jesus told Peter, âI will give you the keys to the Kingdom of Heavenâ. Design the keys and include as many symbols as you can to represent St. Peter and why he was so special. What would the keys be made of?
- Jesus said to Peter, âYou are a rock, and on this rock I will build my churchâ. Could you paint or decorate a stone or pebble, to show ways in which to build God’s church? (e.g. by spreading love, faith and Good News).
- Create a selection of short prayers to ask for Godâs guidance during the global pandemic. How could we demonstrate the courage, faith and commitment that was demonstrated by St. Peter, as we work to support others?
- Take a look at the St. Peterâs logo on our school website. Can you re-design the crest so it reflects the qualities of St. Peter? (e.g. trust,  hope, responsibility). Why did Jesus say âfeed my lambsâ? How might St. Peter ask us to continue Godâs work on earth?
- Use the internet to research St. Peter â can you make a fact file about our school saint? Which key words might you use as part of your factual information page? Were there any articles about St. Peter that particularly interested or surprised you?
Art
The Great Getaway! TRANSPORT
The title for your art this week is The Great Getaway! TRANSPORT. This can take the form of a drawing, a painting, a sculpture, a collage or anything else that you would like to create. As always, Iâm sure you will impress me with your creativity!
Here are some ideas:
CHALLENGE:Â Design your own vehicle, maybe one that flies and can float on water!
However, if this doesnât appeal to you then you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.
Please email your artwork to me:Â n.pearson@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk
Thank you
Keep creating and keep safe!
