Good morning everyone!

Hope you are all feeling fit and well and ready for another exciting day learning and having lots of fun!

Here are today's activities!

Music; (fun, practical activity)

I hear many of you had a great time making your clocks yesterday! Today would you like to make some simple percussion instruments so you can compose your own piece of music? You can use a variety of possible resources; sellotape, yoghurt pots, cardboard boxes, elastic bands, cardboard tubes (from kitchen roll or foil perhaps), pans, empty plastic bottles, dry pasta, rice for example. Can you compose a short piece of percussion music? How will you write your music?

P.S.H.E; ( health education poster- making)

Can you create a bright and colourful health education poster to remind everyone how to help themselves and others keep safe during the current corona virus epidemic? Remember to take care to make sure it's clear and eye catching. Take special care with spellings too!

Computing (linked to R.E.)- one paragraph only required.

Think of a leader that inspires you. It may be any leader at all; it may be the leader at a sports club you attend, it could be a political leader, the queen, a famous historical leader or perhaps our Headteacher. It may even be the leader at Cubs or Brownies. Using 'Word' please could you create a small piece of text (a paragraph is ample) to tell me who it is and why you are so impressed by them. What makes them a good leader? Again, you could insert a picture if you like and today do you think you could add a 'header' and a 'footer' to your page?

Maths;

Practise counting in 5's and reciting the 5x tables.

Practise telling the time today at frequent intervals. Keep practising making different times on your clock too; aim to work towards making times to the nearest 5 minutes if you can and later to the nearest minute.

In your pack you will find the activity below (section A or B page 102- 103). Select either A or B.

You will need to practise reading Roman numerals to 12 too!

OR

Literacy;

L.O. To write a list of simple instructions on how to make a healthy sandwich.

Did you enjoy making your healthy sandwich? If you haven't yet made it try and do that today as I'd really like you to then write a list of simple instructions using a heading, sub-headings, time related openers (first, next, finally) and 'bossy verbs' (eg put, spread, chop, grate....). I might even follow your instructions and make one myself!!

Here's an example;

How to make a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich

Ingredients

  1. 2 slices of wholemeal bread
  2. Butter
  3. .........
  4. .........
  5. ..........

Utensils

  1. Chopping board
  2. Butter knife
  3. ............
  4. ............

Method

  1. First collect all your ingredients and utensils.
  2. Next........
  3. Then.......
  4. After that.....
  5. Carefully......

Many apologies if there appears to be too many activities today; some of these need only be short. You may find your child can complete the music and PSHE totally independently too. Please don't feel under pressure, however, to complete all the activities in any one day if you/your child is struggling to do so. Select the activities you feel you are able to complete today and try the others another time. Perhaps begin with maths and literacy and share some special reading time together.

Here is the challenge from Miss H for today! Alfie did an amazing job yesterday along with Max! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do … 

Have a wonderful day together and have lots of fun!

Take care and keep very safe. Keep smiling too!

Day 1 Lego challenge!

admin on: Class 3

Thank you to those of you who have sent in photos of your challenge! Here are the rollercoasters, who wouldn't want to go on those?! Remember you don't have to use just Lego, it can be any construction material, I am using recycled materials to make my model tomorrow …

Hello from Mr Curly Wurly

admin on: Class 3

Woof Woof!

Hello to all the children and staff at Netherthong Primary School,

It's Mr Curly Wurly here and I want to say hello to you all.

Lots of things are different for me at the moment and I've heard it's different for you too so I hope you're all ok and staying safe. I miss you all and hopefully very soon I'll get to see you again. I'm very happy that we've got sausages and my toys at home to play with because we have to stay at home for a while. Sometimes I'm reading books too especially when there's a dog in the story. I'm getting very good at drawing and shapes.

I'm thinking about you all and your families.
I hope to see you soon and take care of yourselves.

Love and paws
Mr Curly Wurly

Week 2! 30.3.20

admin on: Class 3

Good morning class 3!

I hope you all had a great weekend; relaxing and having lots of fun! Hope you have taken care of Mum or Dad or whoever has been really busy helping you with your school jobs; they are working really hard to help you so at the weekend you need to take very special care of them!!

Where has the warm sunshine gone? Never mind, let's have lot's of fun as we learn today!

P.E. Have fun beginning the day with Joe Wick's workout! I'll be joining in again so do please join me to get fit and stay healthy. See if you can persuade Mum or Dad to join in too! Alternatively, try an exercise in each room of the house; these could be 15 star jumps, 10 squats, 10 bench presses against the bath, walking up & down stairs 10 times, jogging on the spot for 1 minute etc. You could even create your own exercises in each room, write them down as a list and time others doing them all!!

Maths

8 questions

  1. 4L 400g - 2L 200g
  2. How many cm in 3m?
  3. What time is it now?
  4. £2.47 + £1.38
  5. 1/4 of 28
  6. 955 divided by 5
  7. 72 x 4  (remember to use columns to help)
  8. 840 divided by 10

Problem

Alfie made a fabulous sponge cake. He cut it into eighths. If Mum ate 1 piece, Alfie ate 2 pieces and Dad ate 2 pieces, how many pieces of cake would be left?

Practical activity

This week we are going to recap all our learning on reading the time. This always seems to be a tricky maths topic for many children so please keep practising.

Today I'd like you to make your own cardboard clock face. If you don't have any card an empty cereal box would be great! Be as accurate as you can and make sure you mark the numbers in the correct places and include markers for each minute in the hour. This will help you as we will be reading the time to the nearest minute. When adding the hands, use blue tac or a paper clip or split pin so that they can be moved to make lots of different times.

Now practise making different times on your clock; begin with o'clock, half past, quarter to and past and then move onto  5 past, 10 past, 20 past etc and also 5 to, 10 to etc.

I'd love to see your clocks; send photos if you like!

D.T.

Last week you reminded yourself of the healthy sandwich you planned to make. You also practised spreading, peeling, chopping, grating etc. Today, if possible, please could you make your own sandwich for lunch. If you don't have all the ingredients today you may need to do this activity later in the week after Mum's been shopping! If you have the ingredients you may just need to use the bread available; it's unlikely you have a fresh baguette in the bread tin!!

Remember to use your lunchbox to put your sandwich in when you've made it. Again, send me a photo if you can or stick one in your book. You could make a sandwich for your sister or brother too!

English

Let's focus on grammar today! Last week we concentrated on suffixes. Today we are focusing on prefixes. The prefix is added to the beginning of a root word to create another word, for example.... adding 'auto' to 'pilot' becomes 'autopilot', adding 'inter' to 'national' becomes 'international'.

Please can you complete the activity 'Nouns with prefixes' pg 27 in your grammar text book. Again, if you don't have this, please locate the photocopied sheet in your pack.

Reading;

Please keep reading 1 to 1 with an adult every day; this will not only improve your reading skills, but also your creative writing. Remember, authors pinch ideas from each other all the time! Whenever you read please ask whoever you are reading to to ask you lots of comprehension questions as you read.

If you have time you could complete a comprehension today. Choose one from your pack or try the one displayed (it's very much linked to a science activity we will be doing later in the week). If you are at the supermarket this week see if they have any bean seeds; they'll be very useful later!

Have fun and remember not to panic if the workload is getting too much. Select activities you are able to find time to do. Doing all the activities would be fabulous but please don't allow it to create stress at home. I'd really like you to enjoy learning and have fun.

Good luck with your tasks and please, please email me if you are having problems. I can help!

Here is the challenge from Miss H for today! Remember to email us your creations! If you don't have Lego, don't worry any construction material will do … 

Tune in tomorrow for more fun jobs!

Take care!
