Monday's Blog Takeover with Bella and Esme
Posted: Jul 12, 2020 by: Liam Kershaw (LKershaw) on: Class 5
Morning, Class 5. We are in the last week of Year 5! Lots to look forward to this week, with the Summer Send Off and a few other things. Did you know that a year ago we had just got back from Cliffe House? How time flies! Today, Bella and Esme are taking over the blog with these activities. Enjoy!
Maths
For maths, we will be making a cube using a net. Mr. K has attached it below.
Before you cut it out, decorate it in any way you like, like this.
Then stick it onto some firm card and cut it out. Don't forget the tabs as you need them to stick it together. Don't glue the lid shut, because this is going to be your story-teller box for English. It should look something like this.
English
Think of some words and phrases to fill your box with. You will write each word or phrase on small pieces of paper and put them in your box. Mr. K has come up with these suggestions:
Use a thesaurus to help you and use this as your guidance:
1.) Put 5 adjectives into the box.
2.) Put 5 nouns into the box.
3.) Put 5 adverbs into the box.
4.) Put 5 verbs into the box.
5.) Put 5 sentence openers into the box (things like 'all of a sudden').
Now close the lid and shake it up. Pull 10 of the words/phrases out of the box. You have to use the 10 words/phrases that you pull out to write a short story. You are going to write this now! It should only be roughly 3 paragraphs long.
Art
We want you to do some spiral art today. Here are some examples:
Mr. K here again. Spiral art can be done in many different ways, including using nature like some of the work above. Spiral art is a form of abstract art, so you are building on what you learnt about on Friday.
Exercise
In the key worker bubble at school, we have done some GoNoodle every day. Here are some of our favourites:

Mr. K again. A big thank you to the girls for coming up with these ideas. My advice would be to embrace the madness of GoNoodle - we have in school! Apologies to parents - these songs will get stuck in your head! I am looking forward to seeing most of you tomorrow for the Summer Send Off!
