We hope everyone is well and that we are all getting used to working from home.  This week we suggest the following learning activities.

English

This week we had planned to teach a unit on poetry, for children learning at home we suggest the following activities.

• Day 1 – Look at video clips of children performing poems from the BBC Poems off by Heart website https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00kmv68. Make a list of the things which make each performance good.
• Day 2 – Read the poem Spaghetti, Spaghetti by Jack Prelutsky. Look for examples of rhyming and repeating words. http://www.ichild.co.uk/documents/activities/pdf/Key_ST2_Poems.pdf  Practice reading the poem aloud thinking about volume, tone, expression and pace.
• Day 3 – Plan a poem about your favourite food. Use a spider diagram with the name of your food in the middle and descriptive and rhyming words around it.
• Day 4 – Write a poem about your favourite food based on Spaghetti, Spaghetti.
• Day 5 – Edit and up-level your poem and copy it up in your best handwriting.

Science

Find out about the scientist Albert Einstein. Make a timeline of Albert Einstein’s life. If you have access to a printer you could use the attached resource. If not you could draw your own timeline and write in some key facts.
