Wellbeing

Today is International dance Day so have some fun! Choose your favourite song and make up a dance to go with it.

During this last week you have been thinking about the kind acts you do for other people. Today I want you to think about how you can be kind to yourself. This is really important too. Maybe your family members could think of their own ways to be kind to themselves as well.

Wow!! What an amazing day of learning Class 1!!

So proud of you all.

Today you are going to present your statement for court.

You could write this or video this, dress up if you want to!

Remember to give as much information as possible as to why one is innocent and the other is guilty!

You have to try and convince everyone and make them believe what you do!

Have fun and I cant wait to see them.

Why not have a go at this word ladder!!

Super Capacity problem solving!

Great Police work yesterday Class 1, that was so helpful of you.

Now the Police have all their information it is almost ready to go to court.

Have you decided who is guilty? Jack or the Giant?

Today you need to prepare for court.

You need to defend the Giant or Jack in court. Write down why they are innocent and the other one is guilty.

How you know they are innocent? Use as much evidence to back it up as you can!

Welcome to a new week. I hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the wonderful weather. This week I will continue to add some problem and reasoning questions to the maths if you would like to take it a bit further. There will also be some Science, ICT and Wellbeing through the week from me. Don’t forget to have a go at the To Dos on Purple Mash. I can see some great work happening on there.

And Squish, Squash Squeeze!

There has been some great work this week, well done everyone. I am adding some reasoning and problem solving to the maths today. This is to help the children to explain what they have done and how they know it is correct. This is crucial in developing their maths skills. Parents, I will email the solutions to you as they may help you prompt your child to explore what they have done. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries or I can help in any way.

Have a great day and a relaxing weekend enjoying the fab weather!

WANTED!

Jack is wanted by the police for questioning in relation to a series of thefts from the Giant!

If anyone has seen him please contact the police immediately!

Can you make a WANTED poster to find Jack. Think about describing what he looks like and where he lives and give details of why he is wanted.

You can use a template like the one below , create your own or do it on Purple mash, set as a 2do.

On Purple mash, if you click on the green + at the bottom of the picture box you can search for new pictures!

Geography

In science, we are growing our own plants, including some vegetables. We get some of our food from the UK but where does the rest of the food we eat come from? Have a look at the packets and labels on your food and see if you can find out where they come from. Can you make a food map? Label a world map to show where your food comes from. You could add pictures as well.
