Hello everyone! Just to reiterate – it is not a requirement to complete all of the tasks listed. We have said that you should complete the Guided Reading, English and Maths activities over the week and work on anything else in addition if you wish\/can. Please don’t feel that by saying this we are devaluing home learning or that it is not important. It is crucial to set time aside some to do school work. Again, don\u2019t feel restricted by these activities either; if your child is motivated to do other reading, writing or Maths that is better centered on their interests, feel free to do these instead.
\nHere is this week’s home learning…<\/p>\n

Topic:<\/strong>
\nFind the year you were born, what Chinese animal are you? How about members of your family? Can you research what this means?
\nAccording to Chinese legends, what traits do people born in these years have? Does this sound like you? Record your thoughts as creatively as you\u2019d like.
\nFeeling creative? Make your own Chinese dragon using the link below.

English:<\/strong>
\nUse the image below and the word mat to write a description of the dragon. Try to include powerful adjectives, similes and fronted adverbials (to show where, why or how).<\/p>\n

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

For example: Glaring red eyes stared down and its wide cavernous nostrils flared. His huge hulk of a scaly green body slowly moved up and down with each furious breath. Without warning colossal explosions of flames erupted from its mouth, shooting wildly in all directions, like a ferocious, erupting volcano.<\/p>\n

Guided reading:<\/strong>
\nRead the following Chinese fairy tale wither on your own or with a grown up. Talk about the story and make sure you understand it. Here are some comprehension questions for you to discuss and respond to:
\n1, What are the four Dragons that lived in the Eastern Sea?
\n2. What did the four Dragons see while they were playing hide-and-seek in the cloud?
\n3. Based on the fairy tale, who can give rain to the people on earth?
\n4. How did Jade Emperor respond to the Dragons request?
\n5. What happened the next day? Did it rain?
\n6. What was the Long Dragon\u2019s idea about making rain?
\n7. What did Jade Emperor do when he learned that the Four Dragons made rain without his permission?
\n8. What did the Four Dragons become in the end?<\/p>\n

CHALLENGE: Think about fairy tales that you know (Little Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the three bears, Hansel and Gretel etc) How is that fairy tale similar or different to the Chinese fairy tale?

Spelling<\/strong>
\nBelow is a range of homophones. Can you use a dictionary or the internet to find the different definitions for each of these words?<\/p>\n

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

Can you now write\/ draw these homophones in a way that will help you remember? For example-<\/p>\n

Maths<\/strong>
\nBelow is a lesson to help you revise your angle work from the last couple of weeks.

\nCan you remember when we learnt about perpendicular lines? Here is a reminder:

Science<\/strong>
\nHopefully from the BBC Bitesize videos from last week\u2019s home learning, you found out that forces are pushes and pulls which act on objects. This week we are going to be investigating one of the forces in closer detail. Friction is a force which resists movement between two objects. It slows things down and tries to stop them moving.
\nOur investigation compares how things move on different surfaces. Follow the instructions here\u2026#<\/p>\n

Friction Experiment<\/a><\/p>\n

We recommend trying out surfaces such as sandpaper, a towel, tin foil, lino, carpet and bubblewrap or corrugated cardboard and using the 2-star Recording Sheet, found here:<\/p>\n

Music from Mrs Sumba<\/strong>
\nGo to the website below and watch Naomi Wilkinson\u2019s video about Heitor Villa Lobos.
\nhttps:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/teach\/ten-pieces\/classical-music-heitor-villa-lobos\/z4nsmfr<\/a>
\nWhy was Heitor Villa Lobos considered a musical trailblazer?
\nNow listen to the whole piece on the 2nd video.
\nChoose your own form of transport. What is the main rhythm it makes? (For example what rhythm might the pedals on a bike or the oars on a rowing boat make?
\nHow could you play this rhythm? (Perhaps you could recreate the rhythm of the oars by splashing your hand in a bowl of water.)
\nWhat other sounds does your transport make? How can you add these? Could other members of your family join in so you can layer the sounds?<\/p>\n

Science from Miss Stapley <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Homemade Lava Lamp<\/strong><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.rigb.org\/families\/experimental\/homemade-lava-lamp<\/a><\/p>\n

Experiment<\/strong> with objects of different shapes and sizes. See what makes a difference to whether something sinks or floats in water.<\/p>\n

Learn<\/strong> how an object\u2019s density affects if something is likely to sink or float.<\/p>\n
