Week Beginning 20th July
[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#eef214″ border_width=”5″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]School breaks up for the summer holidays on Tuesday. We are aware that many children still have tasks to finish off from our previous class blogs so we have not set new work. We would suggest that children use the two days to catch up on work. We hope that the children will have as normal a summer as possible so that they arrive back at school in September feeling refreshed. We would, however, encourage the children to keep up with their reading over the holidays as a priority. We are also suggesting some websites that the children can use if they wish to continue with some learning at home. [/dropshadowbox]

We are now in our final full week of Reception and home learning. It has gone incredibly fast and although we will be sad to see the children move on, it is also a very exciting time as they continue their journey into Year 1.
With this in mind our topic this week will focus on moving on, what they hope to achieve next year and a reflection on their time in Reception.
We will continue with one activity a day on Class Dojo, a selection of different activities using all the skills the children have learnt so far. Zoom lessons will also continue according to colour groups. Please check class dojo for details of your zoom lesson as the days may be subject to some changes this week.

Year Four Home Learning Week Beginning 13th July
Hello Year Four!
Welcome to another week of home learning! We are nearly at the end of the school year. It has been a truly difficult time but you have impressed and amazed us with the depth of your learning over the past few months. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
English- A lighthearted start to this week. We are looking at some really cheesy jokes (my favourite kind!) Year 4 Week 16 Day 1
You then get a chance to write some jokes of your own and design your own joke book. The below video helps with instructions for writing the perfect joke
This one gives top joke writing tips
We look forward to reading your amazing jokes!
Day 2-Another fun day. You need someone to work with for this. If nobody is available right now, why not come back to this lesson later on?
You get to create strange creatures, sentences and stories. Should be a fun game to play! Year 4 Week 16 Day 2
Day 3- Probably my favourite day so far! You get to learn all about dragons and write me a dragon quiz. Can’t wait! Year 4 Week 16 Day 3
Day 4-Today is a day for learning about and solving crosswords. Year 4 Week 16 Day 4
Day 5- A day based on Roald Dahl’s revolting recipes. I look forward to seeing your great, revolting recipes Year 4 Week 16 Day 5
I hope you enjoy the fun activities this week. You have worked incredibly hard every week and deserve a bit of fun!
Maths- This week the focus is on lines of symmetry.
Day 1- Finding lines of symmetry in shapes. Watch the video below
Then try the worksheet Lesson-1-Lines-of-symmetry
Answers here Lesson-1-Answers-Lines-of-symmetry

If you need the sheets for this, please contact your teacher via Class Dojo.
Latin- A tough lesson this week as we increase our skills and work towards increasingly tough translation! A recap of how we show possession in English and then we begin to learn how to recognise possession in Latin. All answers to the exercises are shown on later slides so you can check how well you have done. Good luck! Latin possession
Music- Continuing our singing at Out of the Ark. Choose songs to learn and ractise
https://www.outoftheark.co.uk/ootam-at-home/
History- Over the last term, we have learned a lot about Egyptian religion, mummification and the pyramids, hieroglyphics and lots more. This week, I would like you to think about what daily life would be like for an average child like yourself. You can find some information here to add to what you have already learned
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zg87xnb/articles/zr4s8xs
and I would like you to write an account of your day as a diary entry or draw and write a comic strip version of your day.
If you want to test your knowledge of Ancient Egypt, you can take some fun quizzes here
https://www.historyforkids.net/quiz.html
Good luck!
Science- Watch the video showing a series of experiments showing the effects of different drinks on teeth. Can you write a conclusion for what you have found out.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zh2kjxs
Science/creative- Look at the patient leaflet designed by Colgate to teach children about keeping their teeth healthy. Could you design your own leaflet to teach your younger brother or sister or someone in year one or Reception at school.
I.C.T-For our last Digital Literacy lesson learn all about whether sources of information you find on the internet are reliable. Watch and read the information on the website below and create a top tips poster for how to find reliable information when using the internet to research.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zv63d2p/articles/zt9thyc
Have an amazing week. As always, please share your work on Class Dojo. We love to see it.
Reception Week beginning 6th July 2020
[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”raised” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#a8fbf4″ border_width=”1″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]
Dear Parents
It’s hard to believe that we are now well into July! With only two and a half weeks left until the end of the Summer 2 term, we want to thank you for all your support with online home learning.
We have thoroughly enjoyed growing and developing alongside you and your child as we all learnt to cope with the challenges of online home learning, since April. It has been a very steep learning curve for us all (staff, parents and children) as we adapted our thinking to learn how to do things differently. We thank you for your unending support as you learnt how to use the amazing Class Dojo app, despite the many challenges you faced. We thank you for exploring the Zoom app to allow us to interact with you and the children. Most of all, we thank you for being both parents and facilitators of learning with your children and for doing such an amazing job of it all. Hats off to you!?
Over the remaining two and a half weeks, we will continue to provide Class Dojo learning. However these will reduce to one daily activity per day, referred to as the Monday or Tuesday Challenge, etc. This activity will be a combination of Super Sentence and Curious Cat challenges and all the other skills learnt throughout the year.
Zoom School will continue for both classes at 10am on each colour group day, with a final whole class farewell to you and the children scheduled for Wednesday 22nd July. We hope you will continue to join us each day.
Our learning for the week ahead is all about growing and changing, how we grow and change as humans; what are the different ways we change; the things we learn to do as we grow, that we couldn’t do before; and our hopes and wishes for the future.
Kind Regards,
Reception Team

The National Association of Teachers of RE are running their annual Spirited Arts Competition. Normally children can only enter through their school and entries are restricted. This year, due to COVID 19 they are allowing any child to enter the competition direct. Children are asked to produce a piece of art around one of five themes with a piece of writing of up to 400 words to accompany it. The themes are as follows;
Picturing faith
God’s Good Earth?
Inspiring
Holy Words
Where is God

Lesson 3 – Healthy eating
What does healthy eating mean to you? Are some foods more healthier than others?
A healthy, balanced diet supports physical development, improves mood and keeps bugs at bay. Foods rich in vitamins and nutrients, like fruit, vegetables and whole grains, give children the fuel they need to develop both physically and mentally. Healthy eating also boosts our immune systems.

[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”20″ border_color=”#dddddd” ] Our topic for this term is ‘Puppet on a String’ and is based on history. It focuses on changes within living memory. Children will begin to understand and use words and phrases relating to the passing of time. We have learnt about toys and household objects in the past and compared it to the same in modern times and continue with learning about schools a hundred years ago and compare it to schools in the present day.
[/dropshadowbox]
[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”20″ border_color=”#dddddd” ] Children can continue to post their work, photos and videos at Classdojo. Thank you everyone. It has been wonderful to see your posts. Keep in touch !

[/dropshadowbox]
[dropshadowbox align=”none” effect=”lifted-both” width=”auto” height=”” background_color=”#ffffff” border_width=”20″ border_color=”#dddddd” ]
History:
This week, we are looking at two aspects of the past and comparing it to modern life – household items as well as school life.
Schools – In the past schools were very strict, all children sat in rows, teachers used black boards and chalk. Children used slates and chalk. They also had ink bottles , pens and blotting paper to absorb the surplus ink before turning a page. They did not have all the fun resources we use in school now – Interactive White boards linked to the internet, white boards, colouring pencils, felt tip pens, computers, maths resources…
Did you know Howard Primary School was built in 1897 and opened in April 1898? That is 122 years ago…
Check out this picture of a classroom from the past. Now, compare it to your class room. What is same, what is different?

English:
We have a new focus text called Lima’s Red Hot Chilli by David Mills
Please listen to the story and enjoy it. Think about the sequence of events.
Activity 1 – Make a list of the different food items in the story and discuss adjectives, noun phrases used by author.
– Chn make a list of 3 food items they like – draw them and describe it using noun phrases, expanded noun phrases
Eg Cool, creamy ice-cream
Ripe, red strawberries
Wobbly, orange jelly
Activity 2 – Plan and write a story using same pattern – Think of a title, beginning, sequence similar events in the middle and ending.
*Children can create own character and decide on one food they take secretly – eg pickled gherkins, spicy sausage, jalapeno peppers, spicy chicken wings, spicy meatballs, Mexican chicken, samosas. Marmite, lemon
*What other food will the main character try?
Eg – stale, brown bread/ cold, slimy pasta/ ripe, squidgy bananas / hard boiled sweets, cold, hard pizza slice
*Who are the different characters who will help the main character and what do they use – yoghurt, cream, ice, water, sugar, ice cream, sweets, chocolate…

Read the information about cartouches here the-egyptian-cartouche-powerpoint
Then why not have a go at designing your own cartouche?

This week our grammar is an integrated part of our daily lessons. We will learn about expanded noun phrases and rhetorical questions.
In English this week we will work towards creating an advertisement for the soup which the children made last week.
- Day 1 – Think of a name for your soup. Your name could include alliteration (e.g super soup) a rhyme (e.g chic leak soup) or a description (e.g spicy potato and chilli pepper soup.) Put the name of your soup in the middle of a spider diagram. Write around all the positive words you can think of to describe your soup (e.g healthy, crunchy, delicious).
- Day 2 -Follow the lesson on expanded noun phrases from BBC bitesize.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/znpbgwx
Now think of some expanded noun phrases to describe your soup (e.g a healthy soup with sweet carrots).
Day 3 – Look at the PowerPoint on rhetorical questions.
rhetorical-questions-powerpoint
Now complete the attached sheets. The sheets are differentiated children in Violet Group or Toy Story Group should use the one star sheet. The two star sheet should be right for most children. If you really want to challenge yourself you could have a go at the three star sheet.
rhetorical-questions-differentiated-activity-sheets-english_ver_2
Now think of a rhetorical question you could use for your soup advert (e.g are you looking for a soup that’s both healthy and delicious?)
- Day 4 – Plan a magazine advert for your soup using the persuasive words, expanded noun phrases and rhetorical question you have thought about this week.
- Day 5 – Now create your magazine advert for your soup using your plan and illustrations. You can use the template below or create your own.
Reading
Children should continue to read as much as possible. Don’t forget we have a free trial from Reading Planet which allows us to allocate appropriate leveled books for each child.
The child should use their first name as their log-in and their class name as their password (either Blackfriars or Waterloo). They will need the centre ID 211526. The website address is;
https://my.risingstars-uk.com/Default.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2f
Topic
Children should do the following activities;
- Think about children’s menus. Why do you think children often have a separate menu to adults. Have a look at the attached menus. Highlight which items you think are healthy? Which are not healthy? What do you notice?
- Design your own children’s menu make sure that you include healthy foods which children will enjoy.
- Restaurant’s are opening on 4th July. If you are lucky enough to go to a restaurant over the summer think about the menu. Can you make a healthy choice?

Latin- A tough lesson this week, having a go at pulling together all of our previous learning and trying out our translation skills. We start off with familiar exercises, root words, quickfire verbs and chanting our verb endings. When translating sentences remember the Golden Rule:
Latin words rely on word endings, not word order
The same is true of adjectives, the ending matches the noun they belong to.
If you find the vocabulary tricky, use the picture clues to help. You can always message me on Dojo if you need a hand. The answers to the translation exercises are on the following slides. Latin-pulling it all together
As always, please do not stress about doing every task, try to do a little work each day. Do not feel you have to print everything out. We hope you have fun with your learning and we look forward to seeing your posts on Class Dojo!
