Daily – do these every day.

Reading: Make sure you read for a minimum of 15 minutes each day. It can be your reading book or a book

from home which you have chosen. Record this in your Learning Log. If your child finds the book a

challenge, re-read to ensure they are confident and fluent.

If you have read the reading books provided by school, Oxford Owl has a collection of free e-books you

can read. Parents will need to sign up and can then access the e-library. Please choose the level (Oxford

level) your child is working at. This can be found on the back of their current reading books.

Art

Artist of the Week William Turner EYFS and KS1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xWg21iHvEM KS2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=impgjAgVokI Turner really looked to the sky to express what the day was like. You can almost feel like you are there. Questions to ask: Do you like this art? Why? Why not? How does it make you feel?

Activity: Can you create your own Turner-Style artwork? You could look to the sky on a cloudy day and do a picture to express what the weather is like. Sketch it first and then add colour based on how you feel, you could use paint (especially watercolour), chalk, colouring pencils or colouring pens. You could even use pencils and shade by rubbing your finger on the pencil.

Craft Weaving fun! Weaving is a simple but fun way to create many things. The up and over technique is great to learn before you move onto tackling sewing later on. There are many examples below of how to have a go. If you don’t have wool, there is an example of how to do this with paper too or you could use natural resources. https://www.brightstarkids.com.au/blog/decorating/11-weaving-projects-for-kids/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eX_E4qiecVE

PE Virtual Sports Day. As we can’t have a traditional Sports Day at school this term, let’s have one virtually. See below for the activities and points allocated. Please send your points earnt for each event to your teacher by Friday 10th July. Certificates will be given to the children with the most points for each event per class. All points will go towards your house’s total. The winning house will be announced in the last newsletter.

1) Standing Long Jump

• Starting standing with two feet on the floor. Jump as

far as you can. Measure how far you jumped. Measure

from your starting point to the most backward part of

your body.

2) Speed bounce

• Find a cone or shoe. Get an adult to time a minute.

How many times can you jump over the shoe?

Example video:

3) Target throw

• At home: lay three half sheets of newspaper on the

ground roughly 2m, 4m and 6m from a starting point.

Stand at the starting point and throw balled socks onto

the newspapers. Best score out of three goes on the

score sheet. 1 point for 2m 2 points for 4m and 3

points for 6m

4) Jog/bike/scooter-athon

• For every 100m you travel either walking, jogging,

biking or scootering have a point!

5) Egg and Spoon Rely

• Measure out 10m (if short on space you may need to

do more laps!) Choose a spoon and potato. Put the

potato on the spoon and see how many 10m runs you

can do in 3 minutes. Remember a run only counts if

the potato stays on the spoon!

Topic

Use the statements at the end to write the order of farming vegetables.

Science

Try this quick do now science activity as a warm up:

Starters for STEM

Who would live in a house like this?

Design a creature that would live in the boot of your car, or the

bottom of your bag. What special adaptations/characteristics

would it have?

https://www.stem.org.uk/resources/elibrary/resource/464496/ani

mal-adaptations

Science 1. How is your bean or seed getting on? Make sure your bean

diary is up to date. What would happen if your bean or seed

did not have enough light?

2. Make a meal for your family.

This could be something as simple as making a sandwich for a

family member or more complicated like cooking a main meal for

the whole family (remember to ask for help with anything like

sharp knives and hot ovens). What ingredients go into making that

meal? Find out where each of these ingredients come from. Can

you find out how and where they were produced (made)?

PSHE There has been a lot of talk about ‘heroes’ over the past few months. I’d like you to think about what it takes to be a hero. Does it take extraordinary powers only seen in cartoons? Can a ‘hero’ simply be someone who does something good for someone else? Or does it need to be more than that? Can you think of someone who you think deserves to be called a hero? They can be famous, but they don’t have to be – they could be someone you know. Draw a picture of them doing what it is you think they are a hero for. Then explain why they are a hero underneath. You could even design a special medal for them and give it to them (or send it to them if they are someone famous). You’ll find a medal template at the end of this document.

English Statements, questions and exclamation
