Buenas Dias Swallows

Happy Monday. I hope that you have all had a wonderful weekend. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ss_yHNI9wq0

I have found a great Science website that introduces challenges each week. This one is super for us as it is all about aeroplances. There are enough activities to last the whlole week such as making papaer aeroplanes, learning about who Amy Johnson was, the job of a pilot and learning about what air traffic control peple have to do at the airport. Take a look, I hope that you enjoy these. You could do one each day.

I would also like you to explore some beautiful picture books this week that focus on our No Outsiders theme, that is so important to us in school. This website is run by Andrew Moffat who has helped us with our No Outsiders work that we do in school. https://excelsiormat.org/work-with-us/no-outsiders

I would like you to choose Odd Dog Out by Rob Biddulph today to read. There is a you tube link where you can listen to the story being read by Tom Hardy. Perhaps your Mum will like to watch this too! 

There are a selection of activities for you to choose from once you have listened to Tom Hardy reading you the story on you tube. I would love to see some of this work from you. I really hope that you enjoy this, as this story has a really important message. I wonder if you can let me know what you think the message of this story is?

My maths ideas this week are going to be linked to outdoor activity. Here is one for you to try:

Choose a form of exercise e.g. star jumps. Reception children could roll a dice, count the amount of dots and then do that amount of star jumps. Year 1 and 2 childern could roll two dice, add them together and then do that amount of star jumps. Year 3 and 4 could roll two dice, add them together and then multiply by 3 and then do that amount of star jumps. Year 5 and 6 could roll two dice, multiply them together and then divide by 4. Using the whole number in the answer, complete that many star jumps. Can you make up your own rules?

I have included the other year groups in case you have brothers and sisters that may want to play as well. 

I would also like to give you 10 spellings this week to work with. Can you write them in different colours, with your tongue sticking out, in tiny letters, fancy letters, with your eyes shut...Can you write the word into a sentence? Can you see if you can make new words from the word? For example, if the word was write, you could have: wrote, written, writing. Can you find the opposite meaning of the word, a synonym of the word (a word with a similar meaning) So if I gave you the word hot, the opposite would be cold a synonym could be warm.

Our words this week are:

beautiful, school, difficult, children, really, pretty, great, again, every, busy. 

Have a lovely day Swallows. I know that I have included lots today but the Science and the spellings will last you all week.I will put a new maths idea on each day as well as a different No Outsiders story.
