WALT: know a little about what John Lloyd Stephens rediscovered in the jungles of Central America
John Lloyd Stephens was an explorer who came from Shrewsbury, but not our Shrewsbury! He came from Shrewsbury, New Jersey.
Spend some time finding out about his amazing discovery - the Mayan Civilisation. This is a huge topic, so we will only be able to find out some basic information in one session. The BBC Bitesize link below is a good starting point.
Find out about him here. www.britannica.com/biography/John-Lloyd-Stephens

Wednesday 15th December
We evaluated our DT projects. This will be hard for you to do at home! Perhaps you could make another mini shelter at home out of recycled materials, or out of twigs and sticks in the garden. Test your shelter for:
Waterproofness (by giving it a shower with a watering can, or by pouring something like rice over it.
Sturdiness (by dropping something to represent a falling branch on it - perhaps a toilet roll)
Sun Protection - by shining a torch over it (remember that the sun moves positions in the sky throughout the day)
Stability in the wind (by blowing it with a fan or a hairdryer).
Finally, think about what you have learnt about building shelter structures this project. What went well? What was tricky? What would you do differently next time?

Christmas Activities Day
We started our day with our postponed trip to Church to learn about Baptism from The Rev Greg Roberts. You could refresh your memories of baptism by doing a little of your own research. Think particularly about how the Holy Trinity features in a baptism.
We made a Christmas wreath decoration using recycled egg boxes. You might be able to make something similar at home! See below or a picture example of one that we made.
We made calendars. We drew a star shape on the square paper, and then drew different patterns within the sections and coloured them in. This was a very quiet, calm activity and we discussed mindfulness. You can use your calendar throughout the rest of the year to look at and have a calm moment whenever you need one. For the dates part, you can download year-to-view calendars from the internet.
We made Christmas cards. We made ones with Christmas trees on, made from horizontal strips of green and gold paper in different shades. You could make this design, or have a look on the internet for any other design that you fancy.

WALT: write our own limericks
Having looked at limericks last week, your task today is to have a go at writing one! Remember that the rhythm and rhyming pattern is important.
Two long lines (rhyming with each other), two short lines (rhyming with each other but different from lines 1&2), one long line (rhyming with lines 1&2).
Try starting off with the classic line: There once was a ______ ____ called _____.
When choosing a name, choose one that has lots of rhymes!! Fred, Dave, Ann, Rose.
Then use the rest of the limerick to tell a little story about them!
Here's an example:
There once was a young lady called Jane,
Who really didn't like the rain.
She tried to stay dry
When it poured from the sky
And smiled when the sun shone again.
WALT: solve a Christmas maths challenge
If you missed Friday's lesson because you were performing, look at the work for Friday.
If you did Friday's work, today your task is to try to work out how many people there are altogether in The Twelve Days of Christmas!! This is a big task. You need to use the same method as on Friday.
Remember to keep adding the new gifts PLUS the previous days gifts EACH TIME (so for 9 ladies dancing, you'd also add 8 maids a-milking).
Really keen mathematicians can then work out how many LEGS there are altogether in the song!
Afternoon: We watched the KS1 production which will be available on the website soon.

WALT: read and perform limericks using the 6Ps.
This is a continuation of some work we started last week. Look at the attached limericks about explorers. Read through them, and make sure you understand their meaning.
Choose one to perform out loud. Remember to use the 6Ps: Passion, Power, Pitch, Punctuation, Pace and Pause to give your performance real feeling!

WALT: solve a Christmas maths challenge
Think of the song The Twelve Days of Christmas. If you don't know it, try this one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYyhDvuq8_Y
How many animals are there all together in the song?
Remember that for each new day, you need to add what has been given on the previous day!
So, for Day 3, it would be 3 French hens, ADD 2 turtle doves, ADD a partridge in a pear tree.
Can you work out the grand total?

Home Learning Summer Term 2021
Tuesday 20th July (work completed in class on 19.7.20.21)
Today was a journey day linked to our value of being AMBITIOUS.
We discussed what being ambitious meant. In assembly, Mr Pittaway linked it to the England football team in the Euros this year and Mark Cavendish in the Tour de France. You could research either of these stories a bit more, or perhaps you have your own favourite sportsperson who has shown ambition.
Activity 1: In class, we discussed what being ambitious leads us to. We had lots of cards with ideas on them, from earning lots of money, to being a compassionate person. We 'diamond ranked' these cards, with the one at the top of the diamond being the one we most thought being ambitious should lead to. In diamond ranking, you put one in the top row, two in the second, three in the third, four in the fourth, three in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the seventh, and it forms a diamond shape on the table! So the one at the bottom is the one you consider to be least important. We all had different ideas, and it lead to interesting discussions about ambitions and goals.

Activity 2: Making a Vision Board for the next 12 months
We shut our eyes and thought about the following:
Imagine you are sitting in school on the last day of term next year.
SCHOOL: What do you hope to have achieved? - think about reading, Writing, Maths, but also other subjects - art, music, sport, and also friendships.
HOBBIES: Think about out-of-school also - do you have dreams of trying something new this year, or achieving a new stage or badge in a hobby you already do?
PERSONAL: What would you like to be different about you? Think about your qualities. Would you like to be more confident at speaking up / meeting new people? Would you like to be more tolerant of others? Would you like to be better at keeping your temper? Would you like to be better at persevering?
FAMILY: What are your ambitions for your family life? Perhaps you’d like to spend more time together, perhaps you’d like to be more helpful, perhaps you’d like to spend less time on a screen and more time outside with your family?
On a piece of black card, we made vision boards. We looked for pictures and words/phrases that will help us to achieve our ambitions. Also, are there any famous people, or people that you know locally, who inspire you? Find pictures of them, or just write their names. Your vision board needs to be put in a place that you will see it often, to keep these goals in the front of your mind and then you will be more likely to achieve them!
We started with a large coloured star in the centre of which we put our photo.
Tomorrow, we will make a vision board for the long term future, not just the next 12 months. :)

Friday 16th July 2021 (work completed in class on 15.7.2021)
First session: Assembly - we said Goodbye to the Y6 Leavers. There is an amazing video on this link for you to enjoy.
DT: Testing our catapults - we went onto the playground and tested our catapults by firing Haribo sweets (The shop had run out of marshmallow!).
We ended with a competition of whose catapult threw the furthest. It went to a final. We then had a Champion Catapult Designer.
During testing, we had to make alterations to the design. For example, some people had to get a longer spindle, some people needed a stronger rubber band and some people needed to adjust where the band was attached to the firing arm. Have a practice with your catapult. How far can you make it fire? Are there things about it that you could improve? This is a process that real designers would go through to make their product as good as it can be.
DT: Evaluating our catapults - We discussed at length what we liked about our design and what we think could have gone better. We considered whether we had met the Design Criteria. We discussed how the lengths of the parts (eg the frame, the stop bar and the throwing arm in our wooden design) were all really important in deciding when the catapult released the missile, and therefore how high and far the missile flew.
We completed the final pages of our DT project booklets, including the Evaluation and sticking in photos of our project at different stages.
PE: Make sure you have an active hour today. You could practise some throwing and catching skills.
PS The planned battle for today was postponed - apparently the Celts changed their attack plans at the last minute - perhaps they are scared of the Class 3 Army and wanted more practice. We have spies watching their every move and we predict that they will now attack early next week.

Thursday 15th July (work completed in class on 14.7.2021)
DT: This morning during the first session we checked our catapults and repaired as necessary (the glue had been drying overnight). We then added the finishing touches and put them together. We couldn't test them yet as today's glue was still wet, so we are looking forward to testing them tomorrow!
History:
WALT: know about Hadrian's Wall
We used watched the video on this BBC website but ON MUTE. We discussed what we thought the commentator was saying during the film. It showed us how much we had learnt about the Romans! We then looked at facts on this website from Britannica.
Today's task was to write a script to accompany the video. (We did have a sneaky listen to the actual script by unmuting once, just to give us ideas).
We then read our own scripts out at the same time as playing the muted video, to see if our ideas fitted with the timing.
RE: WALT: know the story of the Baptism of Jesus by John.
Last week we discussed water and its signficance in our lives.
Today, we reviewed how water can refresh us, calm us, frighten us, cleanse us.
We recalled stories from the Bible that involve water.
We read the story of John the Baptist, and made a story board showing 6 key pictures from the story.
Here is an online version of the story for you, if you don't have a children's Bible at home: Jesus is baptised.
Lastly today, we went out onto the field to practise marching with our shields. We tried the Triple Line formation and the Testudo formation. Can you remember what these are? Research them online to refresh your memory. Miss Rapley was not impressed by Class 3's discipline as soldiers. Lines were wonky and marching was all out of time! Let's hope we get our act together ahead of the big battle that we've heard might be happening today, depending on what those pesky Celts are up to.

Wednesday 14th July 2021 (work completed in class on 13.7.2021)
Today was DT making day! We discussed at length the design of our catapults. We all chose to make the wooden frame design, as it was sturdy but didn't use too much wood and had excellent firing power.
We looked at the Design Criteria and discussed how to make sure our design met them. We drew a picture of what we wanted the final design to look like.
We then discussed in more detail about the joints and the measurements, before drawing the second diagram which had all the lengths needed, so it was all clear in our heads.
After that, we made our catapults. It took us a long time as we had to learn techniques such as how to saw safely and how to make holes through cardboard safely.
By the end of the day, the main frames of our catapults were glued together. Tomorrow, we will make the spindles (pivots) and attached the firing arms and evaluate our designs.
Could you make your own catapult today? You can make it out of items from your recycling box. A sturdy, small box would make a good frame. Or, if you choose the pyramid design, you could use colouring pencils as the long pieces of wood, or maybe some garden canes if you have them. There are lots of designs on the internet to follow. Have a go and see what you can come up with. Make sure you ask an adult to help you with the tricky bits like making holes.

This week is Design Technology week!
This morning, we started our catapults project.
Find out about Onagers, a type of catapults that the Romans used.
Complete the first page of the booklet.
Have a play at making two simple catapults using what ever you have to hand at home - the lollystick catapult and the cardboard flap design (also known as the lever catapult - instructions below). If you don't have lolly sticks, perhaps you could use two rulers or you could ask an adult to cut some strips of plastic from a tub in your recycling. Strips of cardboard might even work.
We made a rule in class for safety- the only missile we are allowed to fire are tiny balls of screwed up scrap paper.
Have a look at the different designs on the next two pages of the booklet. We tested all of these. We wrote positive and negative points about each design. It will be hard for you to do that, but you just need to look closely at the designs and think about the following questions:
Does it look complicated to make?
Are the materials expensive? (We decided that wood was quite expensive, whereas carboard is cheap as we can use recycled materials).
Does it look like it'd be powerful?
That's as far as we got today - tomorrow we will start making our own designs.

English: WALT Edit and re-draft our dragonfly descriptions.
We printed out our first drafts and then read them through, checking and correcting with purple pen.
We checked the basics first: CL/FS, sense, spellings.
We then thought about what else we could improve: Variety of openers? Using some subordinating conjunctions? Improving our vocabulary (bearing in mind that this is English not science, so weird and wonderful descriptions were encouraged!).
We then corrected/ added to the original copy on the computers, then re-printed.
Send me a copy of your work via email if you wish!
Maths: Mental maths test. I'll try to upload this first thing on Monday morning for you. - see below! When you have finished it, go over the answers and revise methods for the ones you got wrong.
Computing: Isle of Tune. (visit the website isleoftune.com)
WALT: attempt to create a well-known tune.
We tried to make Three Lions on Isle of Tune. It was hard! We got the first two lines: 'It's coming home, it's coming home' quite well, by changing the notes and also the timing.
Other people had a go at other simple tunes eg Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
Have a play and see what you can come up with! Send it to me by pressing the SHARE button, copying the link and pasting it into an email if you wish!

English
Finish your writing from yesterday. We spent another session adding to our work, and tomorrow we will edit and proof-read a printed copy.
Maths
WALT: revise division
Remember that for division, we can use our times tables to help us.
Alternatively, we can draw an ARRAY, with the number in a ROW being the number we are dividing by. (ie if we are doing 24 divided by 6, we would draw six in a row, and each column would end up with 4 in it).
Or, we could draw 'plates' (big circles) and split the number between them by sharing it out. This takes a long time for bigger numbers though, and it's easy to miscount!

Alternatively, we can draw an ARRAY, with the number in a ROW being the number we are dividing by. (ie if we are doing 24 divided by 6, we would draw six in a row, and each column would end up with 4 in it).
Or, we could draw 'plates' (big circles) and split the number between them by sharing it out. This takes a long time for bigger numbers though, and it's easy to miscount!

WALT: know the significance of water in Christianity and in life in general
We discussed what we know about water - what we use it for (this was a big list!), how it makes us feel (calm sometimes, or scared sometimes) and started to think about what it might symbolize in religion (washing away sins / starting a fresh / new beginnings).
We drew pictures that, for us, represented water. Some people drew a waterfall, there were streams, sailing boats etc.
PE
Go out and get active - practise some ball skills (they did cricket today) and/or go for a run (they practised cross-country).

WALT: write the first draft of our dragonfly descriptions, inspired by the Lost Word poems
Today we began to type our own dragonfly paragraphs. You can type it or write it, it's up to you!
We typed because we discussed the importance of re-drafting our work as we go, because it's hard to write using your best ideas and vocabulary the first time round.
Can you remember any of the amazing words that we had on the whiteboard on Wednesday? Try to make your own list now, to refresh your mind. Remember that we looked at the dragonfly in all stages of its life cycle.
Remember to write in full sentences (which is different from the poems, as they were just phrases).
Remember that you're writing in English rather than science, so you need to choose amazing vocabulary and create interesting images.
In my writing today, I have:
[ ] written in full sentences, with clear CL and FS
[ ] used imaginative description, like in the Lost Words poems
[ ] included some alliteration
[ ] thought about making my sentence structure interesting by using conjunctions and good openers.
We will continue these tomorrow so don't feel you need to finish your whole description today.
Maths
WALT: order events according to length of time.
This activity involved a lot of discussion first of the events in the pictures. For some, it was easy to guess how long they were. Others were harder and needed some extra maths (with adult support.) We looked up one million seconds - it is 11.5 days!
Choose only 3 of the pictures at a time. Cut them out and stick them in time order (quickest to longest) on a piece of paper.
Choose another set of 3. Order them and stick them in. Continue for your allocated maths time.

WALT: know about Roman inventions for irrigation
Our lesson involved lots of discussion and we worked together as a class.
Re-cap: what is IRRIGATION? Think back to Wednesday and our activity on the playground with the tubes! Explain it to an adult. What is an AQUEDUCT?
Why was irrigation important? (As Roman towns grew, they couldn't all rely on one well or spring, and the rivers were polluted and caused disease, so they transported water in from outside the towns).
We re-capped how hard it is to make water flow. The channel had to go downhill all the way (refer to playground activity) but that is much harder to do than it might first seem!
We learnt about the Great Chesters aqueduct which is in Northumberland.
Looking at the satellite map, we thought about the sensible place to build the aqueduct - in a straight line from the Caw Beck to the town. This was just over 4km. But it went down into a valley and of course the water wouldn't flow back up the other side! So they had to find a new route. The downhill route was the wiggly line - it's much longer but it made sure that the route always flowed downhill.
Label the pictures on the sheet. Can you see the remains of the aqueduct running along the hill, about two thirds of the way up? Draw an arrow to it and label it on the first set of lines.
For the 'straight line' picture, just write "In a straight line, it's just over 4km, but there was a valley to cross".
For the wiggly picture, write: "The route wiggled for nearly 10km to avoid going uphill at any point".
Weren't the Romans amazing? They were doing this all over the world. They changed irrigation systems for ever.

Y2 WALT: Solve a Friday challenge
I know, I know, its Thursday, not Friday, but this is a good Eastery challenge for you!
Your challenge is to find the volume of an egg. Volume has a similar meaning to capacity. However, while the capacity is how much something will hold, the volume is how much space something takes up.
How could you do it? Have a think for a while…..
You could do it be emptying out the eggy bit and refilling the eggshell with water, then measuring it. But that could get really messy! And it wouldn’t be very accurate as you’d spill bits and the shell would crack and break.
You could do it without harming the egg at all!
Put some water in a measuring jug (half fill it). Record how much you have. Now carefully place the egg in the water. Record the new volume of water. The difference between these two numbers is the volume of your egg!
Now, you can experiment with other things around the house (but choose items carefully and with permission!). You could try: a small rock, a sealed tin of tuna, a sealed chocolate bar (eg Mars bar), a coin, ten coins, a plastic toy animal. Record the volumes of these items. Some might surprise you! If you choose something that floats, does this method for calculating volume still work?

Y2: WALT: calculate half of a volume
Put 1000ml of water into a jug. Remember that 1000ml is also called 1 litre.
If I said to you, ‘Pour exactly half away,’ how would you know how much to pour? Half of 1000 is 500, so you would keep pouring until the level got down to 500ml.
Have a go practically. Can you pour away:
Half of 800ml? Half of 600ml? Half of 400ml? Half of 200ml? Half of 100ml?
When you have had a go practically, try these sheets.

Only try this next sheet if you found the first one really easy. You need to work out the volume of Liquid 1 by HALVING Liquid 2.
Liquid 3 is DOUBLE liquid 2. Tip: To halve a number like 250, partition it into numbers that are easy to halve. So 250 could be written as 200 + 40 + 10. It's easy to halve all of those. > 100 + 20 + 5 so 125 is the answer. |

Y3 WALT: Draw rectangles with certain perimeters
If I said ‘Draw a square with a perimeter of 4cm’, you’d be able to work out that each side needs to be 1cm long, because 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4.
If I now said, ‘Draw a rectangle with a perimeter of 6cm’ you’d need to draw a slightly longer shape because 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 6.
See the pictures below. Excuse the wobbly lines!

You can imagine that if you keep stretching the rectangle, the perimeter will get longer and longer.

Y2: WALT: read scales on measuring jugs
You can definitely practise this WALT at home if you have a measuring jug in your kitchen!
Find 5 – 10 various water-tight containers (eg an old yoghurt pot, a mug, an eggcup). Make a prediction of which you think will have the greatest capacity (ie hold the most water) and line the containers up in order from greatest to smallest.
Now fill each container with water and pour it into the measuring jug. Can you read the scale in millilitres to work out the capacity of each container?
Which container had the biggest capacity? Was you prediction right? Re-order your containers. Were there any surprises?

Please view the slides below which take you through the process step-by-step.
I hope that most of you have all the things you need - if this lockdown has taught us anything, it's how to be more resourceful! I'm sure you'll be able to think of alternatives if you don't have the exact thing. If you don't have newspaper, old magazines/junkmail leaflets would work too!
Obviously, you will need to have a break between the steps as things need to dry etc... so leave it somewhere safe and come back to it tomorrow!

English WALT: summarise the story of the Lion and the Mouse
Your task today is to write a summary (sometimes called a synopsis) of the Lion and the Mouse story that you read yesterday. (Scroll down for the link).
This means that you need to re-tell the story, but you need to pick out only the VERY important bits. A summary needs to be short - your word limit is 150 words! When you have a word limit, you are forced to choose your words even more carefully; if you waffle on, you'll not reach the end of the story before your word limit runs out!
If you are able to type your story on a word processor, you'll be able to keep track of your number of words using the word count tool. Alternatively, you could write it by hand and just keep counting them!
UPDATE 9am 25/3/21: Here are some success criteria to help with today's writing: do not worry if you have already done it!
In the lesson today, I have:
[ ] written some sentences that re-tell important parts of the Lion and the Mouse story.
[ ] checked my CL, FS and made sure my sentences make sense!
[ ] retold the story of the Lion and the Mouse in a summary form, keeping within the word limit of 150 words!
[ ] edited and re-drafted my work as I go, making sure I am choosing my words carefully to make my story summary detailed but still within the word limit.
NB We use these colours in class. Children should know which applies to them.
Black or Red is for everybody.
Green is a little bit harder (accessible to some Y2 and most of Y3)

In the lesson today, I have:
[ ] written some sentences that re-tell important parts of the Lion and the Mouse story.
[ ] checked my CL, FS and made sure my sentences make sense!
[ ] retold the story of the Lion and the Mouse in a summary form, keeping within the word limit of 150 words!
[ ] edited and re-drafted my work as I go, making sure I am choosing my words carefully to make my story summary detailed but still within the word limit.
NB We use these colours in class. Children should know which applies to them.
Black or Red is for everybody.
Green is a little bit harder (accessible to some Y2 and most of Y3)
Purple is a bit more of a challenge ( for some Y3s).

Maths:
Y3: WALT: add fractions
Y3: Here is a great activity from Nrich. All you need are some pieces of A4 paper. Work through the steps carefully. It says to work with a partner, but you can do it on your own! By the end you should be able to write some fraction addition statements.
Y2: WALT: Complete fractions designs
Instructions are on the sheet Y2. This follows on well from what we did in Class on Monday and Tuesday this week.
As an extension, could you design some tunics that have different size fractions of each colour? For example, you could have half red, one quarter blue, one eighth yellow and one eighth green. Create 4 new designs using these fractions on a second copy of the sheet.

Hello everyone! I'm very sad to not be seeing you all this morning. However, we'll be fine doing online learning for the next few days and then we have the Easter holidays to look forward to!
Please bear with me, your work for today will appear here in drips and drabs this morning, as I get it all sorted for going online. Unfortunately, as you know, we were in the midst of our Assessment week and DT projects so I'm having to re-arrange things quite drastically!
Please remember that I am available via email - the address is at the very top of this page!
In the meantime, we can all make a start on this: Adjective Astronauts. Go on the Games tab and choose the last one: Double, Drop, Do nothing, Change the y to i.
For Y2, this is the next step from adding -ing and -ed, as the same rules are followed.
For Y3, this is much-needed revision.
If you are unsure of the rules, go back a step and work through the Demonstrations section.
Today's lessons:
- English
- Maths
- Art
- Reading Hour
English - WALT: know the traditional tale The Lion and the Mouse.
This lovely story will finish off our Spring term with a link to Africa as it involves Lion! You can imagine that it might even be set in Uganda, which we learnt about last week from Gill.
Access the story here on the BBC website. You can read the story yourself or you can listen to it. If you listen, please FOLLOW the text carefully.
Today's task is an online quiz and is available here .
Maths - WALT: show fractions in different ways.
Watch this clip from BBC Bitesize to refresh your memories on fractions.
Look at the pictures that follow. Can you see that they are all different ways of representing one half?
|
|
|
|
|
Y2: choose either one quarter or three quarters as your fraction. On your page, represent the fraction is as many ways as you can: using numbers, in words, as a circle (like a pizza), as rectangles on squared paper (of different sizes - make sure the total number of squares is in the 4x table), as 'loose' items not arranged in any pattern. See pictures above for ideas. Fill your page with as many ways as you can!
Y3: choose your fraction - see below
Red group: one quarter or three quarters
Green group: one third, two thirds, one eighth
Purple group: three eighths, five eighths or seven tenths.
On your page, represent the fraction is as many ways as you can: using numbers, in words, as a circle (like a pizza), as rectangles on squared paper (of different sizes - make sure the total number of squares is in the 3, 8 or 10x table according to your fraction), as 'loose' items not arranged in any pattern. See pictures above for ideas. Fill your page with as many ways as you can!
Art:
Please note this is the first part of a big art project that we were going to be doing next week. I'll put it all together into a single document for you over the next few days, as I'm sure it can be adapted for Home Learning! In the meantime, here is an activity to get you started on it:
WALT: know that masks are important in traditional celebrations in many countries of Africa
Watch this clip from BBC bitesize to learn about African masks.
Read about the types of patterns seen on African masks on this page. Scroll down and see lots of pictures of masks.
Choose your favourite mask on the page. Look closely at the detail - the overall shape, how the features are shown (eg is the nose added on top to make it 3D?), the patterns used for decoration.
Sketch your favourite mask carefully onto a piece of A4 paper and colour it.
Reading Hour: Read, read, read!
Read your own book, read a non-fiction book, read a poem, read some news reports (eg from BBC Newsround). Remember that you can quiz at home too! (on most story books).

English: We sat our Reading Tests this morning, which we will try to fit in for you when you come back to school! In the meantime, you could:
- read
- practise your handwriting
- complete this reading comprehension on Africa by clicking here. (This is a Y3 paper; Y2 may need a little support). It doesn't need to be printed; you could read it online and then write the answers on a piece of paper.
Maths: WALT: revise fractions of shapes (as yesterday).
We continued and completed yesterday's activity. Scroll to Monday 22nd March for more info. Extension activities:
Y2: Try rectangles of many different shapes and sizes. Count the number of squared-paper-boxes within your shape; if the total is in the 4 times table, it will be possible to quarter the shape easily.
Y3: Draw 4 more pizzas and split them into their own choice of fractions (eg thirds, fifths, twelfths etc), labelling them clearly as yesterday. Write some addition statements for each pizza. Note that they should always total 1. eg Three eighths + Three eighths + 2 eighths = 1 whole (or 8 eighths).
DT: We have spent the afternoon making a start on the making parts our Rags to Bags projects!
If you have the materials to hand and can remember your design, make a start on it at home. If you don't you could:
- design and make a bag/carrier out of things in your recycling bin - eg cardboard boxes, tetrapaks, old textiles. Ask an adult what is safe for you to use.

English: WALT: revise letter formation to improve handwriting
Today we had a revision session on handwriting as it seems to have been forgotten over lockdown! We practised formation of individual letters (we focussed on c, a, d, e) and joining those letters to create a flowing pattern, concentrating on consistency. We looked at our pencil grip to make sure we held the pencil with a relaxed hand and weren't pressing too hard.
We practised some topic-related words (eg Fairtrade, bananas, coffee, cocoa).

Adding -ed and -ing : a spelling test (sort of!)
You'll need a coin. Heads is for -ed and Tails is for -ing.
Ask an adult to read a verb from the list below, then toss the coin and add the suffix the coin chooses. Remember the spelling rules we have been practising, but also think carefully about how to spell the root word! Write it down without help.
When you have completed ten, mark them to give you a score out of 10.
stay, cook, start, stare, stop, bake, hurry, push, jump, talk

Reading and Story Sharing
This is your time to enjoy some stories! Read your favourite picture book again, read to a sibling, share a book with your parents. Just enjoy stories in whichever way you can!
There are quite a few places online that you can hear authors reading their stories (sometimes just first chapters) aloud. Perhaps you'll hear the start of a new book and be inspired to read the rest yourself!
Here are some links to places that you can hear stories:
Books for Topics Storytime Online: Find the pdf for your age-group and follow the links from there to videos of stories being read aloud.
WBD World of Stories Audiobooks - free Audiobooks to enjoy, updated regularly
The National Literacy Trust Virtual School Library: another place to find videos of extracts from stories being read aloud.
In class, we'll be listening to The Great Chocoplot by Chris Callaghan (From the Books for Topics 7-9 list) plus any others we have time for!

Science - WALT: know the water cycle
Recap the terms and EVAPORATION, MELTING.
What is CONDENSATION? It is the process of the gas state of water turning back into the liquid state. Perhaps you've seen droplets of water forming on the bathroom mirror when you've had a shower? If an adult can help you, you could try watching condensation in action. Put a metal object (eg a spoon) in the fridge for a little while to cool it. Ask an adult to fill a mug with warm water (warm enough to steam a little but not be dangerously hot). Hold the cold metal object over the warm water. Can you see condensation appearing on the spoon?
Watch this video on the WATER CYCLE. Can you hear the terms EVAPORATE and CONDENSE? Complete the worksheet below.

Humanities
Today we are going to hear an inspiring story about a group of farmers who are working together to farm cocoa in a forest-friendly way. We're going to be thinking about Fairtrade not just from the point of view of improving people's lives, but also about how it can help the planet.
Think about the following questions:
What do you think is meant by forest friendly farming?
What do you think farming looks like that is not forest friendly?
Why do you think this type of farming might be important?
Discuss the reasons for the global importance of forests. There's loads of info online, for example this page of the Rainforest Concern website.
The video below is about a country called Sierra Leone. Before you watch it, find Sierra Leone on a map. You can use the whizzy map from a few lessons ago if you'd like! Can you find out: What is the capital city? What is the climate? What countries does it border? How far is it from the capital city of Sierra Leone to Shrewsbury? (Use the measuring tool).
Watch this video called 'Guardians of the Rainforest' about the cocoa farmers of Ngoleagorbu.
On the worksheet, take notes or draw pictures to remind you of what you are told about each section: working together, farming sustainably and protecting the rainforest.
You will have to pause the video and even re-watch some sections to get as much information as you can!

RE
WALT: Give examples of how Christians try to show love to all, including how members
of the clergy follow Jesus’ teaching.
We know all sorts of stories about Jesus showing love to everyone. Remind yourself of the story of Jesus healing the leper (Mark 1:40–44).
Jesus Heals a Sick Man40 A man who had a harmful skin disease came to Jesus. The man fell to his knees and begged Jesus, “I know that you can heal me if you will.”
41 Jesus felt sorry for the man. So he touched him and said, “I want to heal you. Be healed!” 42 At once the disease left the man, and he was healed.
At the time, most people avoided those with leprosy but Jesus showed that we should not judge others by their appearance or other people's opinions of them.
There are many other examples in the Bible of situations in which Jesus led by example, showing how he wanted Christians to treat other people. Perhaps you can remember some from Open the Book Assemblies.
Think about how Christians today how love to all. In particular, think of Church leaders (for example, Rev Val). What do they do within their communities?
Write a list of all the things that you think a vicar might do during their working week.

Both year groups: WALT: subtract using the Column Subtraction method (Intro level)
This week is going to follow a very similar pattern to last week, but with subtracting rather than adding!
Here is a video to explain how to use the column subtraction method. Squared paper will help again - scroll down to last week if you need the squared paper pdf again.
You DO NOT need to complete all 20 questions; just spend a good 30mins on it. However, I know some of you love the column methods now, so there's lots of opportunity to practise if you'd like it!

- some material (scrap material is fine - even an old sock or a new J-cloth would do at a push!)
- a needle and some cotton thread
- a thicker needle and some thicker thread (eg embroidery thread) Don't worry if you don't have this!
- an adult to help you, especially with cutting fabric.
Can you learn to do the following? Just have a go. You don't have to master it all in one go. You are practising!
- tie a knot in the end of a thread
- thread a needle
- sew a basic running stitch. Notice how it will scrunch up the fabric if you pull it. This can be useful!
- sew a basic backstitch through 2 layers. This is useful for joining two fabrics at a seam. Notice how you can turn the fabric over so that the seems end up on the underside.
- use a basic running stitch or backstitch to sew a small decorative shape (eg a simple flower, your initial) using the thicker thread. Eventually, you may choose to decorate your bag using this method.
- do a 'finishing off' stitch. There are lots of ways of doing this! Ask your adult to show you their preferred method.

Phonics (All Y2 & Y3 Booster Group - Miss Rapley's spelling group): Using the SpellingsPlay game that we used last week (Scroll down if you need the link) , have a look at the demonstration and games for adding suffixes when the word ends in y. These two buttons on the right are what you need!
Maths
Y2: WALT mentally subtract tens and ones.
A game for you today. You can play against someone, or just try to beat your own previous go! You need a dice. If you don't have one, you could just write 1-6 on scraps of paper and pull them out of a pot.
Write down 99 on a piece of paper. Your task is USE SIX THROWS to get from 99 down to as near to 1 as you can, without going below it. You must subtract tens first, then you may subtract ones, but you can't then go back to subtracting tens. You need to think carefully when to switch between tens and ones; you want to get as near as 1 as possible but you don't want to go bust! You must make the choice BEFORE you throw the dice!
For example:
Start with 99
Start with subtracting TENS. Throw a 3. Subtract 3 TENS. 99-30 = 69.
Choose to subtract TENS again. Throw a 2. Subtract 2 TENS. 69 - 20 = 49
Choose to subtract ONES. Throw a 6. (That was lucky! You'd have gone bust if you'd chosen TENS). 49-6 = 43.
Subtract ONES again (No choice this time). Throw a 4. 43 - 4 = 39
Subtract ONES again (Again, no choice). Throw a 3. 39-3 = 36.
Extend this if you wish by looking at the Y3 level, with H T and O.
Y3: WALT mentally subtract hundreds, tens and ones.
Start by playing the game as described above for Y2. Look carefully at their example. Play a couple of rounds like that.
If you are not confident with subtracting tens and ones, continue at this level.
If you ARE confident, move on to the next level:
Write down 999 on a piece of paper. Your task is to USE SIX THROWS to get from 999 down to as near to 1 as possible, without going below it. You must subtract hundreds first, then tens, then ones. It's up to you to decide when you move from hundreds to tens, and again from tens to ones. You MUST make the choice BEFORE you throw the dice each time.

Phonics (Y2s and some Y3s - Miss Rapley's spelling group)
Today we're going to use our new knowledge of short and long vowel sounds to add the -ed and -ing suffixes.
If the vowel sound is short, you need to check if there are already two consonants. (eg the m and p in jump). If there are, you just have to add the -ed. (eg jump > jumped.). If there is only one consonant, you must double it to keep the vowel sound short! Think about the words hopped and hoped. Hopped keeps its short vowel sound because the p is doubled.
To explore this rule further, visit this page of Spelling Play to play a game called Verb Vikings.

Maths
Both year groups:
WALT: recall various addition methods
Some great work so far this week on using the column addition method! However, it's important to know that the column method is only one way of adding, and sometimes other ways might be quicker or easier.
Today you're going to make a big, bold poster that you can display at home to remind yourself of the different addition methods that you know.
I've made an example for you. Yours needn't look exactly the same; you may design it however you wish, but it must show lots of different addition methods! Make sure you colour it and make it beautiful; mine is not finished!
Here are the calculations that you need to use in the middle of your poster (just choose ONE, according to how confident you are feeling)
Y2 Basic: 53 + 25
Y2: Harder: 57 + 28
Y3 Basic: 253 + 425
Y3 Harder: 278 + 368
Send me a pic of your poster if you can!

Science
WALT: observe evaporation in action
We have been learning about solids, liquids and gases. We know that when solids become liquid, the process is called melting. What about when a liquid turns into a gas? This process is called EVAPORATION.
Today's science lesson will involve you taking a trip outside! You'll need a paintbrush (a big craft one or a small DIY one), an eggcup of water, a piece of chalk and a dinner plate. (See below for other options).
You need to find an SUNNY area of level tarmac or paving slab outside somewhere. On the floor, mark out a shape by drawing around something such as a dinner plate. You could use chalk, or pencil might even show up. Or, you could mark the outline with pebbles.
Next, look for a SHADY area, on the same surface. You could make a shady area with an umbrella lying on its side if necessary! Mark another area, the same shape as you did in the sunny area.
Into each marked area, pour an eggcupful of water and spread it around within each area using the paintbrush (Make sure the paintbrush is already wet so it doesn't absorb the water too much). You now will have two wet patches of a certain size, one in the sun and one in the shade.
Now sit back and observe! What do you think is going to happen? Make a prediction. Watch the wet patches closely and make notes. You could even take photos of each patch every ten minutes. Or, you could draw around the wet patches as they shrink.
What has happened to the water over the time you have been observing? Where has it gone? How did the sun affect the rate of evaporation? How do you think the wind affects it?
A second experiment: Mix a good amount of salt into an eggcup of water. Lay a piece of black paper (or newspaper would do) into a flat baking tray. Pour the salt water into the tray. (You may have to weigh down the paper with stones). Put it in a sunny spot and observe. When the water has evaporated, what is left? Why?

It's Fairtrade Fortnight!
We've talked a lot about our choices as consumers and their effect both on the people who produce our goods and the environment.
As the children of today, YOUR OPINIONS MATTER because the choices that consumers make now will affect YOUR future and the future of the planet.
To celebrate Fairtrade Fortnight and to gather the view of children, Fairtrade Schools are running an exhibition. By 'sharing your vision of the world you want' via some artwork, a poem, some other writing or a film, you can contribute to this exhibition!
All the details are on this website.
You need permission from your parents to take part, so please make sure you check with them.
Even if you are not able to enter officially, I'd still like you to have a go at representing your vision in whichever way you choose. I'd love to see them if you are able to send them to me.

RE: WALT: make links between the first disciples and modern Christians being 'fishers of people'.
Watch this video clip to remind yourself of the story Jesus calling his disciples to be 'fishers of people'.
Next, read this extract from the Bible: Matthew 4:18–19. If you have a children's Bible at home, you might be able to find a story that relates to this.
18 Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee. He saw two brothers, Simon (also called Peter) and Simon’s brother Andrew. The brothers were fishermen, and they were fishing in the lake with a net. 19 Jesus said, “Come follow me, and I will make you fish for people.’.” 20 At once Simon and Andrew left their nets and followed him.
21 Jesus continued walking by Lake Galilee. He saw two other brothers, James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets to catch fish. Jesus told them to come with him. 22 At once they left the boat and their father, and they followed Jesus.
Think about these questions. You don't need to write down your answers but you can if you would like to. Discussing your thoughts with someone else will be useful too.
What was Jesus asking Peter and Andrew to do?
Do you think it was an easy choice for the fishermen to give up their jobs straight away and go with Jesus?
What do you think a fisher of people might be?
How do you think modern Christians carry out Jesus's wishes of following him and being 'fishers of people'?

Design Technology
Our DT this term is textiles. We're going to be making bags, with a Considerate Consumers theme; our project is called Rags to Bags! We're going to work through the whole design process, using a booklet to help structure our projects. Today, you need to have a look at the first few pages of the booklet, which are attached below.
Today we're thinking about what types of bags we see in every day life. There are LOADS! There are photos of some of them in the booklet. For each bag, think about what it is used for, and what makes it good for that job. For example, a rucksack is used to carry things without using your hands. It's good at it because it is designed with straps to fit comfortable on your shoulders.
On the last page there is space for you to think more types of bags that you know about. You can either draw them, or find pictures of them on the internet if you wish. Write notes about these ones too.

Note re Grammar and Spelling Assessments:
There is no need to print them unless you want to; you can read it on screen and then just write the answers down on a piece of paper instead. Parents may read you the questions in the grammar test but not explain what a question is asking you to do. The Grammar Tests should take no more than 30minutes and the spelling tests are very quick indeed!

Parents may read you the questions in the grammar test but not explain what a question is asking you to do. The Grammar Tests should take no more than 30minutes and the spelling tests are very quick indeed!

Maths
Have a go at these maths assessments. They are a summary of the last few weeks' learning in maths. Do them independently if possible.
Do not spend ages on one question; if you're finding it too hard just move on! A maximum of 20 minutes per page. Have a break between pages if you need to! Some questions you'll whizz through, others you will find harder; just try your best. If you feel you need to use practical items (eg lego bricks) for the fractions questions then go for it!

Reading Tests (Instead of computing this week)
Year 3: You have Part B to complete but it shouldn't take you long (About 30mins maximum). Then you can mark both parts A and B, and make sure you look at where you went wrong rather than just ticking or crossing it!
Year 2: You just need to mark your test from earlier in the week. Make sure you look at where you went wrong rather than just ticking or crossing it!

Y2: Estimate the length of wiggly lines
Look at the lines on the sheet (choose which level you'd like to do. Level 1 is easiest).
Which do you PREDICT is the longest line?
Which do you predict is the shortest?
How could you measure them? If the lines are mostly straight you could use a ruler and measure them in parts! If the lines are wiggly, could you use some string and a ruler? Carefully bend the string along the line and then straighten the string along the edge of a ruler. It's fiddly!
Measure them as best you can (to the nearest cm) and write their lengths clearly.
Were you correct in your predictions?
If you don't have a printer, just draw some of your own wiggly lines!

Science
Today we are going to finish writing-up our chocolate investigation from last week. Some of you went ahead and finished it in one go; that's OK, but you may need to go back and check you've included everything. If your booklet is in the classroom, you'll need to either print it again (no need to repeat the first 2 pages, though) or just use normal paper.
First, watch the second video on this link of other children doing a similar experiment, with Professor Brian Cox. Look at the problems that the children had. Did you encounter similar problems? Did it affect how fair your test was?
Task 1: Draw your graph. It needs to be a bar graph. See the pdf for an example of how to set it up. You might need to change your y-axis numbers if your chocolate took longer than 4minutes to melt. You can do it straight into your booklet from last week (On the page called Results 2), or you can use the template if you need a little more help.
DO NOT WORRY IF YOUR CHOCOLATE MELTED IN A DIFFERENT ORDER. USE YOUR OWN RESULTS!
For children who were with me last week, let's use this data:
White chocolate 1min 45s
Dark chocolate 2mins 30
Milk chocolate 4mins. NB Apparently the dark should have melted first, but we found the white melted first! That's OK! That's science!

Now watch the 3rd and 4th videos on this link both with Professor Cox, to see how melting is applied in real life, both in chocolate and in other things!
Task 2: Write your conclusion. The paragraph below may help you structure your conclusion. but you can change it as you wish.
In this investigation, I found that the ______ chocolate melted first in the time of ________. The slowest chocolate to melt was the _______ chocolate in the time of _________. This is / is not in line with my prediction.
I think that the chocolate melted at different times because_______.
The investigation may not have been a fair test because____ (explain any problems you had).
In real life, things melt at different temperatures. For example,_______.
Another investigation question about melting that I'd like to explore in the future is ________________.

Maths
Y3: WALT: measure, add and compare lengths
Intro: Find two items of different lengths. For example, a fork and a teaspoon. Measure them both separately and record their lengths.
eg Fork is 23cm long, Teaspoon is 14cm long.
How much longer is one than the other? 23-14 = 9cm. Line them up next to one another and measure how far the longest one sticks out. It should be 9cm!
What is the total length? 23+14 = 37cm. Line them up end to end and measure the total length. It should be 37cm!
Repeat with other pairs of objects. Always do the calculation first, and then use your ruler to check.
You'll need a measuring device for these activities. A ruler is fine for Ch1. For Ch2 and 3, a tape measure might be better (like the ones used for sewing or for DIY).
Everyone start at Ch1. Find 5 pairs of objects to measure and record the total length as in the example. Red group continue on this activity and complete 5 more pairs.
Green group: Do 5 of Ch 1, then move on to Ch 2 and do as much as you can in the time you have.
Purple group: Do 5 of Ch 1, then both parts of Ch 2, then move on to Ch3 if there's time. (You might be able to find objects in your garden to measure between for Ch 3.)

Y2: WALT: explore making a metre in length
How long do you think a metre is?
Your challenge is to collect small items (less than 30cm long) around your house and lay them down in a long line that measures as near to a metre as you can. However, you are not allowed to have a tape measure or a metre stick until the very end! You MAY have a 30cm ruler to measure things as you gather them, but not once you have put them into the line.
When you think your line is 1m long, get your tape measure and see! Were you right? Is your line too long, too short or just right? Did you measure things with your 30cm ruler as you collected them? Perhaps you could next time, and hold the running total in your head, or jot it down on paper.
Try it again in different places; for example, on the floor, on the table, on the kitchen side, on your bed. Use with different items each time. Can you guess a metre accurately?

Reading Test - Have a go at the reading test below. If you don't have a printer, you could write the answers on a piece of paper or use xodo to write on the pdf. This test should be done INDEPENDENTLY where possible. Answers will follow tomorrow. There is no time limit for the test, but it should take no longer than 30mins. Just do the best you can within that time.
Year 3: This is just Part A. Part B will come tomorrow.
Year 2: There is only one part to the test.

Humanities - WALT: understand how your consumer choices and their consequences affect others
This lesson provides a nice summary of our learning so far in our Considerate Consumer topic.
Watch this film and then complete the matching activity below.
Afterwards, discuss these points (there's no need to write the answers down, but you can if you'd like to):
Who was affected by these choices?
What countries were impacted by these choices? Can you find them on a map? You could use last week's whizzy map!
Can you identify the choices that were about buying choices?
Can you identify the choices that were made after buying the product?

Maths
Y3 WALT: measure lines to the nearest millimetre
Yesterday, we measured in centimetres. Today, we're going to be looking at the tiny marks between the centimetres which are the millimetres. See if you can see them on your ruler.
There are ten millimetres in one centimetre.
So 1cm = 10mm
2 cm = 20mm
3cm = 30mm
Can you see the pattern?
If something was 2 and a half centimetres long, or 2.5cm, then it would be 25 millimetres long.
Everyone start at Ch 1 again and work through.
If you can't print the page, just draw some of your own lines and measure them to the nearest mm. After spending 20-30 minutes on the textbook activities, go on a hunt around your house looking for things to measure. Set yourself a challenge: can you guess how big something is in millimetres first, then check it with a ruler? How good are you at guessing length?

Y2 WALT: measure with a ruler in centimetres
Watch this BBC Bitesize lesson, (only as far as the end of the first video) and then your task is below.
| y2_unit_6_week_3_lesson_2.pdf |
RE WALT: make links between God's covenant with Noah and agreements in our own lives
Think about the agreements (pacts — or covenants) that people make; for example, drivers driving on the correct side of the road, shopkeepers giving customers goods they have paid for, playing with somebody in the playground because you have promised to do so, keeping to the rules in sport. Think about what happens if people break each of the agreements above? What are the consequences?
I'd like us to think about agreements we could make between ourselves to make our classroom a great place to be (when we return to school!).
Part 1: Write down any ideas you have for what promise(s) YOU could make now, and try to stick to when we are together again.
Send them to my email address with 'RE Class 3 Agreement ideas' in the subject line.
Part 2: The rainbow was God's sign of the covenant. What could Class 3's be? Design a sign / symbol / logo, that we could look at to remind us of our class agreements. Send a copy to me by email if you can. I'll collect them together and you never know, yours might the one chosen for our wall!

WALT: create our own wire models or jewellery using paper beads
Some people sent me photos of some wonderful bead & wire flowers last week - well done!
Today is our last session on paper bead making. Everyone is at different stages and for some of you getting hold of materials may be tricky with school shut. But most of you can at least find some old magazine pages, some glue and some thread, I am sure!
PARENTS WHO ARE NEW TO HOME LEARNING: SCROLL DOWN TO FIND VIDEOS OF WIRE & BEAD FLOWERS FROM LAST WEEK, then it will all make sense!
The choice is yours today! You can choose from the following (think about what materials you have available to you):

The choice is yours today! You can choose from the following (think about what materials you have available to you):
- Make another bead/wire flower (or finish last week's one if it isn't at school)
- Make a 'final design' piece of jewellery using paper beads. It could be a necklace, bracelet, anklet, ring; use your imagination!
- Make a 'final design' wire and bead model of a different design. Using your bead and wire skills, you could make a butterfly, a bird, an abstract wiggly shape*, a heart, a tree, the list is endless! *Try wrapping wire in a spiral around a small cup, then remove the cup and see what shape you're left with.

Y3: WALT: place fractions on a numberline
Play this game. Grampy will hide behind the wall. Grammy will give you a hint as to how many parts the wall is split up into. (This gives you the denominator of the fraction). You job is to guess how far along the wall (as a fraction) he has hidden.
For example, if the wall is split into 5 parts, and he is near the beginning, you could guess that he is one fifth of the way along the wall.

Y2: WALT: investigate halves
This is an investigation so not much intro is needed:
Is this statement ALWAYS, SOMETIMES OR NEVER true?:
If you split a square by drawing a straight line that crosses exactly through the middle point in ANY direction, it will split the square exactly in half.
You'll need to do lots of tests to prove it your answer.
For testing, you can make your own squares using any paper. Can you work out a way of finding the exact centre so that you can make sure your line goes EXACTLY through it?
Alternatively, you could use the squares on the sheet below, which have the middles already marked.
How are you going to test if the square has been cut EXACTLY in half?

Science: WALT: investigate whether all types of chocolate have the same melting points.
We have already done one melting point investigation. Now, can you apply the skills you learnt for that one to this new investigation question:
Do milk, white and dark chocolate all have the same melting point?
Below is a pdf with some information for parents' reference only. Ignore the worksheet within the pdf; instead of using this I'd like the children to have a go at completing the first pages of the investigation booklet. They'll need to design their own results table for recording their data; refer to the info pdf for an idea of how to do this if you are unsure!
You don't need to use the exact method in the Brian Cox resource; just use whatever worked for you last time if that is easier.
You do not need to do the second results page yet as that will be a graph which we will come on to next week, along with the conclusion.
Note re printing the booklet: It is designed to print on both sides of the paper and then fold into a booklet. If you use Xodo instead of printing it, you'll need to do the pages in a strange order!

Y3 WALT: compare and order unit fractions and fractions with the same denominator.
Watch this video as an introduction to comparing fractions.
When the denominator is the same, it's easy! Just look at the number on the top. The bigger top number is the bigger fraction. Just imagine cutting a pizza into quarters. Would you rather eat one of those quarters , or 3 of those quarters? Three quarters is clearly the bigger fraction. Try it yourself with a sketch. Try cutting you pizza into sixths or eighths too.
However, when the denominator is different, we must be careful! If the numerator is 1, we can just look at the denominator, and the SMALLER denominator will be the BIGGEST fraction. Think of your pizza again. If you cut it into thirds, you'll have a bigger piece than if you cut it into sixths!
The problem comes when both the numerator and the denominator are different. They mention this in the video, but luckily today we don't have to worry about it too much.
Red: Ch 1
Green: Ch 1 Parts 3,4 and 5 only. Then Ch 2,
Purple: Ch 2 and Ch 3.

Y2 WALT: find fractions (both unit and non-unit) of quantities
Which is bigger? One half of 12 or one quarter of 16?
Using blocks/pasta etc, lay out 12 in an array that has rows of 2.
Split your blocks in HALF. How much is half of 12? 6
Now make an array of 16, again in rows of 4.
Now split it into QUARTERS. How much is ONE QUARTER? 4.
So one half of 12 is more than one quarter of 16.
You can also do this with non-unit fractions. Which is bigger: THREE QUARTERs of 8 or HALF of 10?.
Arrange 8 blocks in an array, with 4 blocks in a row. Split it into quarters. How much are THREE QUARTERS (this is the same as yesterday's work). (6)
Now arrange 10 blocks in an array with rows of 2. How much is ONE HALF? (5).
So three quarters of 8 is more than half of 10.
Using this method, we can compare fractions of different quantities and play a game of: Would you rather?

Part 1) WALT: locate banana, coffee and cocoa producing countries on a world map
Part 2) WALT: compare the climate of these countries with the climate of the UK.
Watch the FIRST HALF (to 1min30s) of this video to introduce the idea that foods only grow in certain places in the world and that is due to something called CLIMATE.
Now have a look at this map. It's yours to have a play with. If it goes wrong, just close it and re-click the link to reset the map.
By selecting different 'layers' on the right of the screen, you can choose what the map displays.
If you click 'Bananas' you will be shown dots marking the top banana producing countries in the world. The bigger the dot, the more bananas! (Click on the dot to give more detail)
You can zoom in and out just like you can on any digital map if you want to see the country's name.
On the paper map, mark where the main banana producing countries are. You can zoom in to see exactly which country each dot is in.
Repeat with coffee and cocoa.
What do you notice about where these countries are located in the world? They are all near an imaginary line around the middle of the Earth which is called the Equator. You can select the Equator layer to see it. You can also see two other lines which are dashed. These mark an area known as the Tropics. Countries within this area are described as tropical .
Use the rainfall and temperature layers to see what the climate is like in the Tropics. Think about the growing conditions that cocoa likes; they were mentioned in the video. Use the Legend button to see what the different map colours mean.
Find the UK. You'll see that it is a long way from the Equator and therefore is not tropical. The climate in the UK is described as temperate. You can use the measure tool to see how far Ford is from the Equator!
Look at the rainfall and temperature in the UK. How is it different from the countries in the Tropics?
In the coming weeks we'll be thinking about how climate change is affecting the countries that grow products like bananas, coffee and cocoa.
To finish, can you explain what these key words mean?

Look at this website to learn about non-unit fractions. If you don't have an adult working with you, you could use the read-aloud tool on your device if you find there is too much to read by yourself.
Squared paper is attached below in case you don't have any at home.
Red: Ch 1

**Y2: WALT: recognise three quarters (3/4)
Following on from our activity yesterday, we are going to use blocks or lego or pasta to find firstly quarters and then THREE QUARTERS of a quantity. Notice that we are still splitting into 4 equal parts, but this time we are interested in THREE of them.
For each of the quantities on the sheet, lay out your blocks (or lego/pasta) IN AN ARRAY with 4 in a row, so that you can easily split it into quarters.
Write down how much one quarter is. Then put two quarters together and write down how much that is (Note that this is the same as a half). Finally, put three quarters together and write down how much that is.
PLEASE SEE THE PDF FOR A STEP BY STEP EXAMPLE. ***Apologies - there is an error - it should say 12 instead of 20 for Step 1!***

RE
WALT: Make links between the story of Noah and the idea of covenant.
Recall the story of Noah from last week.
God makes a covenant with Noah. The rainbow his his sign of the covenant. A covenant is like a pact or a promise.
This story is the first instance in the Bible of the idea of a covenant, a sacred promise. Later in the Bible, God makes a covenant with other people, including Abraham and Moses, and people make covenants with each other. The covenant in this story is special not only because it is the first, but also because it is between God and all of creation.
Draw a beautiful rainbow and underneath the outline of a man to represent Noah. Within Noah's outline, write some words to describe Noah. Think carefully about why God chose Noah to build the Ark.
Underneath, write the conditions of the covenant for both sides.
Here are some hints to help you:
Noah: Not to shed the blood of man, and to kill animals only for food.
God: Never to flood the world again.
Thinking question: What examples of covenants or promises do we use in every day life?

See the video. There is a secondary video focusing on one particular part.
You'll need more wire for this week. I have ordered more for school so now there is plenty available if you want to call in for it when you're passing. Just let me know so I can make sure there is enough out in the Foyer. Otherwise, pipe-cleaners, garden twisty wire or anything else you have available will be fine!

Y3 and Y2 WALT: find unit fraction of quantities
Both year groups: Watch this lesson from Oak Academy. It explains unit fractions really clearly, using pictures similar to the ones we use in class. If you find fractions easy, stick with it as there is so higher-level thinking required in the second half. A word is used in this video which we do not use in class - it is vinculum and means the line in the middle of a fraction.
Year 3: Have a look at the task that goes with the video, and then do the questions below from Busy Ant. Look at the examples on the page to help you lay it out. No need to draw an array if you can use division/times tables knowledge.
Struggling?: Use practical items (eg dry pasta) to lay out the arrays, or draw an array for every question.
Red: Ch 1 and Ch2 - just to a,b and c of each part in Ch 2.
Green: Ch 2 (all)
Purple: Ch 2 (just do the last 3 questions of each part) and Ch 3
Year 2: When you have watched the video lesson, do these questions. You can either draw a picture for each one, or you can use division (and times tables knowledge). You may find it helpful to use practical items, such as dry pasta, and lay them out to make your array.

Y3: WALT Solve word problems
When we approach a word problem, we must decide which operation is needed to answer the question. Do we need to add, subtract, multiply or divide? Sometimes two steps are needed, so we might need to do two of these things, but in which order?
Sometimes drawing a picture can help you visualise the problem and allow you to work out which operation is needed.
Preferably with an adult, work through these slides. For each example, you need to work out which operation is needed: addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. You may notice that the examples are all linked to...you guessed it....CHOCOLATE! I promise this is by co-incidence! The slides were written by the Busy Ant scheme, not me! Class 3 does seem to be powered by chocolate at the moment!

Last week we investigation two foods that melt: chocolate and butter. Most of you found that butter had a LOWER melting point than chocolate. Well done!
Watch this video to re-cap melting.
This week, we're going to find out about other materials that melt. Some may surprise you!
For our purposes, we will consider melting as turning from a solid to a liquid. Also, if the material is cooled down again, it should be able to turn back into a similar solid again (although it will probably be a different shape!).
Make a sorting table with 2 columns; Materials That Melt and Materials That Do Not Melt.
Get started with these:
ice, eggs, candle wax, rock, a tree branch, gold (the metal), iron, a leaf, tar, plastic (eg plastic bottle), glass*, sugar, paper, bone, a drinks can (made of aluminium) cheddar cheese, ice-cream, ice-lollies, apples, sand, cotton fabric, copper pipes (eg water pipes under the sink).
Think of other examples to put into the two columns.
Have a look at this video about metals. It's fascinating!
* Glass is interesting when we are thinking about States of Matter. See if you can find out why.
Now see if you can find out the melting point of the materials in the first column. Materials like plastic will be tricky as there are lots of different kinds, but you might be able to find some specific examples.
ADVANCE WARNING for next week's Science lesson: We will need some different types of chocolate (white, milk and dark) - only tiny amounts of each!

Maths
Warm-up activity: Times tables practice - A TT Rockstars battle is running for both Class 3 Girls vs Boys. It closes on Thursday!
Y3 WALT: divide by 8 using the halve, halve and halve again method
This follows on from our work yesterday on dividing by 4.
This time, though we need to halve a third time!
Practise with practical items (eg pasta shapes/lego bricks). Take 16 of them. Halve them to make 2 piles of 8. Halve them again to make 4 piles of 4. Halve them again to make 8 piles of 2. So 16 divided by 8 is 2. We know this to be true because we know the times table fact 8x2=16.
Red/Green group: Start at Ch2. Oh, look, its chocolate again! Miss Rapley, I don't know how you do it!!! Red group, if you find it hard, do each question practically with something like pasta shapes or lego. Green group, Continue to Ch3 if you are able to.
Purple Group: Start at Ch2, e,f,g, then Challenge 3. Then try the extension.

Year 2 WALT: explore amounts of money, counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.
Rehearse counting up in 2s, 5s and 10s again.
Work through these examples. Use practical items to represent the coins if required, or draw them.
I have 48p in my purse. There are only 1p, 2p, 5p or 10p coins in it, and I also know that they are all the SAME type of coin, not a mixture. Which coins could I possibly have in my purse?
I could have 48 1p coins. I could have 24 2p coins. There are no more options because 48 is not a multiple of 5 or 10 so you can't make it with only 5p coins or 10p coins.
I have 40p in my purse. There are only 1p, 2p, 5p or 10p coins in it, and I also know that they are all the SAME type of coin, not a mixture. Which coins could I possibly have in my purse?
I could have 40 1p coins. I could have 20 2p coins. I could have 8 5p coins. I could have 4 10p coins.

Part 1: WALT: recognise the Faitrade logo
Do an internet image search for the Fairtrade Logo. There are a few variations but the main theme is similar. What do you think the logo shows? People interpret it in different ways; what do you see?
What is the point in a company or organisation having a logo? It helps us to easily recognise their products! Think of some famous logos that you know. The Nike tick is certainly a very famous example, but you can probably think of lots more.
Draw the Fairtrade logo onto A4 paper. Don't trace it or print it; study the shapes carefully and draw them by hand. Hint: start with a circle. Colour it in in anyway you choose: paint, felt-tip, crayon, collage. It's up to you!
Part 2: WALT: know examples of other Fairtrade products
We know about Fairtrade bananas and Fairtrade chocolate so far. But what other Fairtrade products do you know about? Some are obvious, others may surprise you!
In normal times we can take a wander around the supermarket, looking out for products with the Fairtrade logo. This year, we'll have to make do with a rummage in our cupboards at home and an internet search! (Ask an adult to help you with this.) The big supermarket's own websites are quite good for this (especially Co-op) and its Fairtrade Fortnight soon so they will probably be promoting their Fairtrade sections! A general internet search may turn up other Fairtrade products that aren't normally stocked by supermarkets.
Build up a list of Fairtrade products. If you can, read the details and find out where in the world they come from. Look up the country on a map (online or in an atlas). It's amazing how far products travel to reach us! However, with some products, their country of origin is not clearly labelled, so don't worry if you can't find this bit out. Once you have started your list, keep it safe so that you can keep adding to it over the next few weeks, as you discover more products!

First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who has sent me work so far. I have looked at all of it and I think you are all doing a great job! Well done to your parents too!
I have printed SOME of your work off and it is making a lovely display in our classroom. (Some of it is on the Considerate Consumers display instead, if it links with our topic e.g. paper beads).
Our display is growing and growing and we want to keep adding to it, so keep on sending your work! It's a lovely way for the children in school to link up with you guys at home, and vice versa. We're looking forward to seeing some of you on Friday's Zoom call, too. :)

Maths Y3 WALT: use the 'halve and halve again' technique to divide by 4.
If we have a pizza and cut it in half then it half again, we end up with 4 pieces. We have divided the pizza by 4 (and of course we end up with quarters).
We can do the same with numbers. If we want to divide a number by 4, we can simply halve it, then halve it again.
Example: 24 divided by 4
We can halve 24 to get 12, then halve 12 to get 6. So 24 divided by 4 is 6.
Of course we can also divide by 4 using our 4x table knowledge, but that might not be possible with bigger numbers so the halve and halve again technique can be very useful.
Re-cap of halving numbers:
Partition the number into T and O, then halve each part separately.
Example: Half of 68
Half of 60 = 30, half of 8 = 4.
30 + 4 = 34
Watch this video to help.

RE: WALT: know the story of Noah from Genesis 6:5–9:17.
This is a really familiar Bible story. Following on from our learning about the Bible last week, where in the Bible will you find the story of Noah? Old Testament or New Testament? If you have a Bible, can you find the Book of Genesis?
Can you remember the story perfectly? Re-read the story, or watch a Youtube version (ask an adult to help you find a suitable one). I've uploaded a simple version of the story. It's down at the bottom under the art!
Now the choice is yours: how are you going to show me that you know the story of Noah? You could:
Art: WALT: make simple sculptures out of wire. You may need to postpone this lesson until later in the week; that's fine! (See blue writing below)
This will lead to us creating 3D models incorporating our rolled paper beads. But that's for the future, not this week!
This week, you're just going to try making a simple flower out of wire. Please make sure you do this activity with an adult supervising.
Where will you find thin wire? You may have some craft wire or some long pipe cleaners in your craft box. You may have some plastic coated wire for the kitchen that is used for tying bags etc. Maybe there is some thin wire in your garden shed. I have wire in school, so if you live in the village you could pick some up on your daily exercise. If you live outside Ford, your parents may be passing in the next couple of days when they go to work or shopping, so they could pick some up. I will put some in the foyer for you but please let me know if you're coming for it, so I know who has taken it. You need about 50cm length for this week.
You'll need help to snip the wire as you won't be able to do it with your normal scissors. Nail clippers might work but wire cutters are the best tool of course. You also need to be careful of the sharp ends; I suggest putting a bit of tape on them.
Watch this video and have a go at making a simple flower. You may need to undo you flower and try again to achieve the best shape you can. This week is all about practising and seeing what you can come up with!

Now the choice is yours: how are you going to show me that you know the story of Noah? You could:
- draw a storyboard and write sentences underneath to explain the main events.
- draw a comic strip, using speech bubbles within the pictures.
- just write the story as a story!
- make some actual scenes and photograph them (eg using lego men and toy animals).
- use an idea of your own - just make sure that you can email it to me somehow (Videos are hard to email as they are too big).

Y3 WALT: count in steps of 2, 4 and 8
Use this interactive to help you practise counting up in steps of 2, 4 and 8. Set it on 1-100. Use the splat tool; it's more fun! Splat the 2s first. Then splat the 4s. What do you notice? You are splatting EVERY OTHER multiple of 2. Now splat the multiples of 8. What do you notice this time?
These patterns can help you when counting up. Your times tables knowledge will help you too, of course.
Note Ch 2 Part C should say 'multiples of 8'. It was missed by the scanner as it's on the bend of the book!
Red: Ch 1 and 2

Science - Gosh, it would seem that Miss Rapley has managed to link yet ANOTHER lesson to her favourite food - chocolate!
WALT: investigate the melting points of two solids
Chocolate and butter are both solid foods which melt (turn into a liquid) when they warm up. The temperature at which they melt is called the melting point. This isn't the case with all foods; a piece of broccoli will never melt into liquid broccoli, even at high temperatures. We'll talk more about melting points of other materials next week, but this week I'd like you to investigate this question:
Investigation Question: Do chocolate and butter both have the same melting point?
Make a prediction before you start.
Can you think of how to set up an experiment to test this? What do you need to record or observe? What do you need to change? What do you need to keep the same (to make it a fair test?).
You will need to discuss WITH AN ADULT how you could do this SAFELY in your house.
Hints and Tips: We don't need to use really hot temperatures; remember that chocolate melts on your fingers which are less than 40 degrees! A heatproof bowl above a radiator could work if this is safe/possible to do in your house. Or, you could ask an adult to fill a hot-water-bottle with water of a safe temperature and place a bowl on top of that.
You could, with help, use a saucepan on a very low heat. You could even use them melted chocolate and butter to make some flapjacks afterwards!
You don't need to use a thermometer (but you could if you had one available). You just need to observe which food melts FIRST. That one will have the lowest melting point.
I'd like to know what you found out! Just complete this Google Form (an adult can type for you if needs be) and it will magically be sent to me!
WALT: investigate the melting points of two solids
Chocolate and butter are both solid foods which melt (turn into a liquid) when they warm up. The temperature at which they melt is called the melting point. This isn't the case with all foods; a piece of broccoli will never melt into liquid broccoli, even at high temperatures. We'll talk more about melting points of other materials next week, but this week I'd like you to investigate this question:
Investigation Question: Do chocolate and butter both have the same melting point?
Make a prediction before you start.
Can you think of how to set up an experiment to test this? What do you need to record or observe? What do you need to change? What do you need to keep the same (to make it a fair test?).
You will need to discuss WITH AN ADULT how you could do this SAFELY in your house.
Hints and Tips: We don't need to use really hot temperatures; remember that chocolate melts on your fingers which are less than 40 degrees! A heatproof bowl above a radiator could work if this is safe/possible to do in your house. Or, you could ask an adult to fill a hot-water-bottle with water of a safe temperature and place a bowl on top of that.

Y3: WALT: make shapes using folding and cutting
Have you ever made those paper snowflakes at Christmas time? The ones where you fold the paper and then cut out different shapes and then open it to reveal a pretty pattern? This activity is a little like that, but you will need to think mathematically BEFORE you start cutting!
You'll need to be good at picturing half and quarter shapes in your mind, and also think about symmetry.
Everyone start at Challenge 1 and work your way through.
I suggest you use scrap paper to start with as you may have to do a lot of practising to get the correct pattern! Then perhaps you could find some pretty coloured paper or wrapping paper etc.
I'd like you see the patterns you make. Lay them out and take a photo of them, preferably with your face visible too. Send them to me via my email (just hit REPLY if I've recently emailed you) or use the Submit Work form.

Y2 WALT: create symmetrical shapes and patterns
Remind yourself what symmetry is by watching this video.
Today, you're going to need some squares of paper that are about 10cm x 10cm big. If you have square coasters in your house, you could draw round those as a template.
Today is all about experimenting with making symmetrical patterns.
Fold your square in half EXACTLY.
Snip pieces off, either from the folded edge or from the other edges, but MAKE SURE you cut through BOTH layers of paper. Open your paper out again.
Look at the shape or pattern that you have created. Can you see its line of symmetry? Draw the line or symmetry on with a pen.
Now take a new square and create another symmetrical shape or pattern. Keep going; keep experimenting! You could use some nice coloured paper or wrapping paper for your final designs.
Extra challenge: explore what happens if you fold the paper twice to make quarters.

Have a look at the photos in the file below called Bean to Bar photos. If you can print them, I suggest you set your printer to print 4 pages per sheet so that they are a bit smaller!
Choose 5 of the photos and for each one, do this:
- Write down all the questions you can think of about the photo, e.g. Photo 5 – Where
- Think what might have happened just before the photo was taken or just afterwards? Write
- If there are people in the photo, what do you think they might be saying or thinking?
- Compare life in your photo with life at home. What similarities and differences can you see? E.g. Photo 4 – Same: cloudy sky; Different: clothes
- Now, match the captions (see file below) to the pictures.

Art WALT: explore how the shape of the paper strip affects the shape of the bead.
Continuing with our paper beads from last week, we are going to explore how we can make different shape beads by changing the shape of the strip of paper. It's all about experimenting! And a lot of patience! Look at the picture on the right to give you an idea about shapes to try. Remember that they all need to be really quite long. Questions to consider:
Thanks to those children who sent me photographs of your beads from last week. We loved seeing them! |

Y3 WALT: solve word problems involving money
Today's word problems involve using the skills we've been practising all week.
Begin by discussing the picture on the page. What items can you see for sale? How much are they? Notice that the prices are in whole pounds (no pence). This makes it easier! We can just think of it as HTO like normal. Discuss how much money the children have each. Recap vocabulary like most expensive, least expensive, cheapest.

Science WALT: explore the properties of gases
Can you think of some examples of gases in every day life? Here are some ideas:
Air (actually a mixture of gases) - this is all around us, but it's also in things like armbands, hot air balloons, airbeds).
Helium in balloons
Carbon dioxide (think of the bubbles in fizzy pop)
Cooking gas
Oxygen (part of what is in a scuba diving tank)
Carbon Monoxide (you might have a detector for this gas in your home).
Have a look at this video - which examples can you see?
Look through and discuss the slides below.
Have a look at the investigations on the 'Work' pdf. Do them if you can, but don't panic if you can't! You'll need two balloons and a coathanger. If you don't have balloons you could use disposable rubber gloves. Ask an adult to help you when you need to inflate the balloon. (Worskheet 2A is an easier version than 2B. Choose one or the other.) 2C is a similar investigation using different equipment - you'll need a digital kitchen scale. You could do this as an extension.
Everyone can do 2D - drawing the particles in solids, liquids and gases (look again at the slides for help).

Humanities: WALT: know the basics of international trading and production chains.
The Banana Split Game.
ADULTS Don't let the children read ahead through the pdf as it will ruin the game!
This game works really well in a classroom situation but it can certainly be adapted for learning at home. (Use the resource sheet for information rather than following the instructions exactly.)
Think about how much of the 30p that a banana costs you would like to be paid if you were the
worker who picked it. Write down the amount in pence.
Then think about the owner of the banana plantation. How much do you think he/she would like to be paid per banana?
Ask you parents/older siblings - how much of the 30p would they like to be paid if they were the shippers, ripeners or the supermarket?
Now add up all these costs. What is the total? Is it more than 30p?
There is opportunity for loads of discussion about the fairness of this. There are lots of prompt questions on the sheet and information about the role of everyone in the banana chain.
This unfairness in how money is distributed in production chains is partly addressed by ideas such as Fairtrade. Products that carry the Fairtrade Logo have to meet certain conditions such as promising to pay their workers a better wage and ensuring that their working conditions are safer. Have a look for products that carry the Fairtrade logo in your cupboards. Over the next few weeks, if you can, build up a collection of packets of Fairtrade products.

Y2 and Y3: WALT: Subtract amounts of money to give change
Have another go on this activity to practise using money.
Today we're going to think about giving change. What is change? Discuss why it is needed.
Watch this video to help. Have a go at the quiz at the end too.
Like yesterday, there are several methods we can use. See the attached sheet for ideas.
Using plastic coins (or real ones!) and doing it practically can be helpful, too. You could even set yourself up your own role-play shop!
Note: The numberline methods shown shouldn't be entirely new to you since we use them for general subtraction.
Y2 and 3 Tasks: Use the same game as before, but this time select the Up to £1 under the Giving change section.
Use this to set your questions. Work out the answer on paper using one of the methods suggested. Then check your answer by putting it into the game. Do as many questions as you can in the time you have available for your maths lesson.
Everyone: start on Up to £1
Confident Y2 and most of Y3: Move on to £1 to £5

Art
Creating Artwork from Recycled Materials
There are many projects around the world in which art is empowering people who otherwise find it very difficult to make any money.
An example is Bead For Life. This project teaches women to in Uganda to make beautiful jewelry using only recycled paper! The necklaces and beads are then sold to provide an income for families.
Have a watch of this video which introduces how to roll a bead. I think you'll agree that the necklaces are very beautiful. You may have seen me wearing them; mine are not from the same project but they are from Uganda.
We have links with schools in Uganda through the Omushana charity. If you visit their shop, you can see more examples of similar craft.
Task:
Have a search in your house for some old magazine or newspaper pages that you're allowed to cut up.
Cut yourself some very long, thin triangles (about 1-2cm at the base but as long as the page). This in itself is a skill - you need to practise using a ruler and scissors carefully! Now try rolling them up to produce your own beads. Keep practising; its fiddly and you will get better with each one that you do. Sometimes it helps to roll it around a blunt needle or a cocktail stick.
Over the course of the next few weeks we are going to develop our skills with this technique, so don't worry if you don't get far today!

Have a search in your house for some old magazine or newspaper pages that you're allowed to cut up.
Cut yourself some very long, thin triangles (about 1-2cm at the base but as long as the page). This in itself is a skill - you need to practise using a ruler and scissors carefully! Now try rolling them up to produce your own beads. Keep practising; its fiddly and you will get better with each one that you do. Sometimes it helps to roll it around a blunt needle or a cocktail stick.
Over the course of the next few weeks we are going to develop our skills with this technique, so don't worry if you don't get far today!
RE: WALT: know about the main teachings of Sikhism (The 5 Ks)
This is continuing our work on Sikhism from the end of last term.
Watch this video to re-cap on who Guru Nanak was.
Now watch this video which tells two well-known stories, both part of Nanak's teachings.
Recall the story of Malik Bhago and Lalo from last term.
Discuss how these stories are similar to some of the Jesus' stories in Christianity.
Today, we're going to be learning about the 5Ks.
Watch this video to introduce the idea of the 5Ks.
Watch this lesson by Oak National Academy. Don't worry about doing the first quiz as it refers to previous lessons in the series which we haven't done. It's quite a tricky video so you don't need to understand it all. Just ensure you build an awareness of what the 5Ks represent for Sikhs. You can have a go at the activity within the video. You don't need the sheet; just draw your pictures and notes on a piece of paper or in your Home Learning book.

Year 2:
WALT: Make links between HTO and money
Starter: Have a look at some coins. Can you identify them? Can you put 2 or 3 coins together and work out the total? Have a go on this game: Coins Game
Main: Today we're going to concentrate on 1p 10p and £1 coins only. We can think of them as Ones, Tens and Hundreds.
How could you make 237p? You'd need: 2 x £1 coins, 3 x 10p coins and 7 x 1p coins. Practise making other amounts.
Complete the activity on the sheet below. If you find it really easy, can you find an ALTERNATIVE way to represent each amount, but still only using 1p, 10p and £1 coins. For example, using the 237p above, you could do: 1 x £1, 13 x 10p and 7 x 1p. OR 2 x £1, 2 x 10p and 17 x 1p.
For the alternative ways, there is a second copy of the same sheet but it is labelled 'Alternative Ways'.

Year 3:
WALT: Make links between place value and money
Starter: Have a look at some coins. Can you identify them? Can you put 3, 4 or 5 coins together and work out the total? Have a go on this game: Coins Game
Main Activity: This is continuing our work on Place Value but this time were are thinking in terms of money.
Instead of H T O, we are thinking about £1, 10p and 1p coins.
If we had £1, £1, £1, 10p ,10p, 10p, 1p and 1p, how much would we have altogether? Add up the pounds first, then the ten pences, then the pennies. = 332p. Remember to put the p for pence! How else could we write it? We could write £3.32
Red: Ch 1 only. Write your answers both in pence and pounds. (So 332p or £3.32). Ch 2 optional!
Green: Ch 1 f-i, then Ch 2. Write your answers both in pence and pounds. (So 332p or £3.32). Ch 3 optional!
Purple: Ch 2 and Ch 3.

Year 3: WALT: order 3 digit numbers
Can you remember how to order numbers? Watch this video and then explain to an adult how these children sorted the numbers. How can you apply this to sorting just a few 3-digit numbers? Remember to look at the hundreds first, then the tens, then the ones.
Red: Ch 1
Green: Ch 2.
Purple: Ch 2 Part 1 f and h only, then Part 2, then Ch 3.
Extension for both Years (all groups):
Play a game with a partner. Each player sketches a chart with space for H T and O. Player 1 rolls the dice and decides whether that number will be written in their H T or O column. Player 2 takes their turn. Repeat until you each have 3 digit numbers. Whoever has made the biggest 3 digit number gets the point! Now try playing with the target being to get the SMALLEST number.
If this game is too tricky, play it with 2 digit numbers only. If it is too easy, play it with 4 digit numbers. You could also try it with an 'unfair' dice if you relabel it to have numbers from 0-9 of your choice (You could have 3 faces with the same number, for example).
| unit_5_week_1_lesson_2.pdf |
Science: WALT: know the difference between solids and liquids.
Use the slides below as an introduction to solids and liquids. When it asks a question, make sure you think about it carefully and discuss it with an adult if you can, rather than just whizzing on through the slides.
Next, complete the worksheet.
Y2 - You can choose between !A (basic) or 1B (a bit harder).
Y3 - You can choose between 1B (basic) or 1C (a bit harder).
Now go on a tour of your house and look for examples of solids and liquids (with an adult's permission). Food cupboards are good places to look! Lay them on a table in two clearly labelled groups: Solids and Liquids. Try to find some things that are tricky to decide on; here are some ideas: rice krispies, a lemon, sugar, cooking oil, treacle, jam, Marmite. If you can't decide, you could have a 'Not sure' group in the middle of you table! Discuss what makes them tricky to classify. See if you can take a photo of your collection, with the labels clear to see. Send it to me via the Submit Work form.

Extra science: A great but messy bit of scientific exploration! If you mix together cornflour (also known as cornstarch) and water, is the result a solid or a liquid?
I suggest you do this experiment outside as it can be really messy!
There are instructions on the internet. Click here for an example.
For adults, there is a helpful article here!

Wednesday: WALT : recognise place value in 3 digit numbers
This is a bit of easy revision to get us back into the swing of things!
There is an intro PowerPoint (both year groups) if you can access it. If not, there are the same slides as pdf.
Year 3:
Red/Green: Start on Ch 1 and see how far you get! Instead of using Base 10 blocks (in Ch 1 Part 2), you can draw HTO diagrams as we do in class.
Green group: Ch 1 and 2. Do Ch 3 if you can! Instead of using Base 10 blocks (in Ch 1 Part 2), you can draw HTO diagrams as we do in class.
Purple Group: start at Ch 2 ad continue to Ch 3.
Purple Extension: Write and solve your own riddles similar to the one in Ch3 Part 2.
Year 2:
Complete the sheet, then have a go at this activity:
Roll a dice three times. Write down the 3 numbers you got (Re-roll if 2 are the same). Using those numbers as your digits, which 3-digit numbers can you make? Draw a HTO diagram for each one and write the number in words as well as numerals underneath.

Friday:
English: See Above. A big push today to get all our final drafts completed :)
Maths: WALT: Solve a Friday Challenge based on addition of tens and ones.
See the missing number calculations. What could go into the spaces? You may only use whole tens or ones (ie You can use 10, 20, 30 and 1, 2, 3 etc. but not 21, 22, 23 etc.). There are often several ways to solve each problem; how many can you find for each one?
We showed our working for these by drawing numberlines.
Here's an example problem:
34 + _ _ + _ _ + _ + _ = 79 Note: the size of the blanks determines whether they are tens or ones.
so possible solutions are:
34 + 20 + 20 + 2 + 3 = 79
34 + 30 + 10 + 4 + 1 = 79
34 + 10 + 30 + 1 + 4 = 79 (Although the last two appear similar, they would look different on a numberline)

This is the conclusion of our RE work last term on Creation and how Christians interpret God's instructions on how to treat the world. Re-cap, what do Christians believe about how humans should treat the world? Read the story of Adam and Eve and consider the message it gives:
As part of God's creation, humans should obey God. The Creation is good and worth preserving.
Storyboard the story of Adam and Eve and then write the message at the bottom of the page.

You have 5 tasks this week. Some of them you can do straight away, and some you'll need to make a start on this week and continue them over the rest of the holidays.
Task 1: Reading (Both Year Groups)
Dr Seuss said: " You can find magic wherever you look; sit back, relax, all you need is a book".
Here is a Reading Bingo challenge to encourage you to read as much as you can over the summer! You can choose whether to do the 25 box version or the 9 box version.

| summer_reading_bingo.pdf |
Task 2: English (Both Year Groups)
Your task is to write a recount or a diary entry for one day during the last few weeks or during the holidays. It doesn't have to be about a big trip out (although I'd love to read about those too!); it can just be a normal day at home. Remember to bring your writing to life by including lots of detail and description. Time connectives will help you structure your writing, too. Here are some examples to help you: Last week / Yesterday / During the holidays / In the morning / At first / Not long after that / After a while / Before long / Soon it was time for / Eventually / At last / Finally.
You can choose whether to type or write by hand. You could add illustrations to your page as well and colour them in. Whichever method you choose, ensure you check spelling, punctuation and grammar carefully and make sure your writing is easy to read and as neat as can be!
Task 3: Maths
*********Updated 13/7/2020 Apologies - correct year groups are now below! HR. *********
Here are some booklets containing activities for you to complete all with a summer theme! Some activities are longer than others; don't try to do them all at once! Just have a go and do your best.

Term is coming to an end and what an odd term it has been for us all, at home and at school! With Lockdown easing for now, I thought that this week we'd look back on the last few months. The activities will help you to make some records of your experiences. In the future, you can look back on 2020 and remember how strange it all was!
This is the last work I will set you as a member of my current Class 3. Next week, you'll be set 'Move-Up' work by your new teacher. Year 2s, I'll be setting your work next week of course as you will remain in my class!
I have loved seeing the work you have done during the school closure. Please keep sending it to me this week.

End of year maths tests. You and your parents can choose whether to do these 'under test conditions' or whether to just work through them together.
If you choose to do them as tests, spend time the next day reviewing the answers.
If you choose to work through them together, they'll take longer, so split them over several days.
Either way, they provide a nice summary of the maths you have learnt this year!

Task 2: On a blank piece of paper, make a poster of a factor rainbow for 288. It will be pretty big; make sure you plan it carefully so that you can fit it all on the page nicely. Colour it in and send it to me at the home-learning email address.
Task 3: Explore REMAINDERS using this Remainders sieve activity on Nrich.
Remember, remainders are the numbers left over after a division. So if you divide 19 by 3, the answer is 6 remainder 1, or 6 r 1. (because 6 x 3 = 18 and there is one left over. Use some practical items such as coins or dry pasta and sort them into piles, if you are struggling).
Task 4: Play the Remainders Game on Nrich, which follows on from yesterday. The best way to work it out is just to have a go! For level one, the number is always 1-60.
Task 5: Have a go at this division activity on Transum.org. You only need to fill in the answer when the number divides exactly, with no remainders. For bonus points, you could work out what the remainders would be for the ones that don't divide exactly! eg for 21 divided by 5, the answer would be 4 r 1! (because 4 x 5 = 20 and there is one left over).

Other Task (Just one this week as it's a big one!)
This is a Design Technology task!
Your task is to design and make a model boat.
It must meet the following criteria:
-it must be big enough for two Lego people to travel inside.
-it must be stable and watertight enough to keep the Lego people afloat on a paddling pool / large water tray for at least 5 mins.
-it must be self-powered (see below), so that it can move a distance of at least 30cm across the pool/tray
-it will earn bonus points for being eco-friendly (ie made out of recycled materials)
-it needs to look great!
How could I self-power my boat? You could give it a sail (you can blow on it if there is no wind when you are testing it). Alternatively, you could make some sort of paddle or propeller system, using an elastic band. This is more complicated but could be more fun! There are lots of designs on the internet.
I would LOVE to see a video of your final design being tested in your paddling pool / water tray / washing up bowl! Send them in to the home-learning email address.

Maths - Year 3 only - Roman Numerals and Time
We are learning about Roman Numerals this week which is completely new to some children. There is a Powerpoint to explain them but if you can't open it there are lots of other resources available online. We're also revising Time. Some children find Telling the Time quite easy, while others find it extremely confusing and frustrating. Lots of practise using an analague clock is key (eg Task 2), but also try to find real-life opportunities throughout the day to practise what they know (For example: This cake takes 40 minutes to bake. If we put it in the oven now at 3.30pm, when will it be ready?)

| Task 1: Complete the Hundred Square using Roman Numerals. (Answers are included on the second page) |
| Task 2: Make a Clock Face with Roman Numerals. You may prefer to make your own clock face using card from a cereal packet or similar. When your clock is made, use it to practise telling the time to the nearest 5 minutes, and then the nearest minute! |

| Task 4: The Sheep Race. Now we are focusing on reading a clock to the nearest minute. Look carefully! |
Task 5: Click here for Reasoning Practice using Testbase (with a focus on Time)
Maths: Year 2 only - Telling the Time
Task 1: Using some card from the recycling (perhaps a cereal box, for example), make yourself a model clock face. Can you remember exactly where the numbers should go? Make the two hands - can you remember the difference between them? Attach them with blue tack or perhaps a paper fastener if an adult can help you to make the hole. Now use your model clock face to practise telling the time. Start with o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. Move on to the nearest five minutes when you are confident. Can you remember the difference between PAST and TO? You might even be able to read the time to the nearest minute!
Ask an adult to challenge you with some questions. Here are some examples:
Set your clock to quarter past 5.
What time will it be in ten minutes? Show me on the clock and tell me out loud.
Move you clock on one quarter of an hour. What time is it now? Show/Tell me.
Set your clock at the time you think we will have lunch. Tell me out loud.
Set your clock at the time you normally go to bed.
Keep using your model clock face throughout the week. Practise telling the time in real life situations!

Task 1: Explore this Mapzone website from Ordnance Survey. There are lots of things to look at and questions to answer. Visit the Map Skills section. In there, you will find sections on Compasses and Directions, Grid References, Understanding Scale and Map Symbols. Also, have a look through the document below (called Map Reaading Made Easy Peasy). Don't worry if it all gets a bit complicated: our focus is on understanding up to 8 compass points and 4-figure grid references.
If you have an actual OS map at home, ask if you can have a look at it. Practise using the key to identify what symbols mean. Ask an adult to set you challenges: eg "Find the village that is directly north of xxx?"
Task 2: Have a go at my little quiz about our own area.

Task 1: Revise fractions.
The denominator of a fraction is the bottom number, and is how many equal parts something is split into. The numerator of a fraction is the top number, and is how many of those parts are selected. So for 3/4, there will be 4 equal parts, and 3 of those will be selected.
On this sheet, numerators and denominators are missing. Look carefully at the diagram and work out what the fraction should be. Practise saying the fractions out loud to an adult, remembering the strange ones like quarters and thirds.

Task 1: Geography: The River Severn. Watch this video about our local river. It is meant for older children so there will be bits you don't understand, but the pictures show the river really well. Watch it more than once as you'll notice different things each time. Use what you learn in the video, plus any other resources you have access to, to complete this factfile about the River Severn.
| River_Severn_factfile.pdf |
Task 2: Mapping the route of the River Severn. Print out this map if you can. Colour each of the four countries of the UK a different shade of green (if possible) and colour the sea blue. Add two towns/cities to the map: Shrewsbury and Worcester. Add a dot to mark the source of the River Severn at Plynlimon. Now search online for a map of the whole route of the River Severn. Click here for an example. Add the route on to the map, from its source at Plynlimon to its mouth at Bristol, trying to get the direction of its path as accurate as possible. Go over this with a blue felt tip and label it the River Severn.

Task 1: Y2 and Y3: Dedicate some time to practising your times tables, as they'll be useful to you for the rest of this week! In addition to Times Table Rock Stars, there are loads on online games that can help you. Check your Links book to see which times tables you have learnt so far; revise all these and also work on one you don't know yet.
I like this Pairs Matching Game and Hit the Button and there are some great times tables games from Transum, but some are a little tricky so choose carefully.
Task 2: Multiplication using Partitioning I have made a little video to help you with this task. Click here to access it. Use the same password as the Home Learning pages. (It has sound, but it may not work on some devices apparently). When you have watched it, have a go at these sheets. Write in your Home Learning Book, NOT ON THE SHEET - there isn't space! Year 3, you can choose whether to do the basic or challenging task, depending on how confident you feel.

Topic - both Year Groups (Y2 and Y3)
It's our last week thinking about buildings in Shrewsbury and how they have changed in design since 1066. We've talked about simple wooden Saxon huts, windowless early medieval buildings with wattle and daub and a thatched roof, Tudor buildings with their timber frames and tiny panes of glass in the windows and Georgian design with its symmetry, fanlights and big sash windows. Task: Draw a picture of a typical house of 2020. ? You can choose to draw a simple house or more of a 'Grand Design' - it's up to you. What do you think its key features would be? Label them. Feel free to send me your pictures to [email protected], with FAO Miss Rapley in the subject line; I would love to see them and they might even appear on the Daily Blog.
