Friday 24th April
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!

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.

Wellbeing
During this time, it is really important to make sure we are looking after ourselves and each other. I know how kind you all can be so I thought it would be really good to think about the acts of kindness you do each day. You could do this as a family and record how you are looking after each other on a Kindness Calendar. Let us know how you get on.

Plan a News Report
Plan a news broadcast or a newspaper report to report the enormous beanstalk that appeared overnight in Jack’s garden.
Think about What, Where, How, Why and Who? Can you interview anyone who has seen it and include this?
Use the planning sheet as a guide for what to include.
Here is an example for you to look at.
Remember today is just about planning it and thinking about everything you need to include!

For today only a Key Stage One yellow drop box will be put under the community noticeboard near the school path. It contains a little pot and two types of seeds to get you going with your seed planting and it will be there all day. If you or a member of your family is able to take their daily exercise and collect a pot that would be fab. Also in the drop box will be an exercise book and a new pencil for you to use during summer home school learning.
