Good Morning Woodpeckers!
How was it getting back into the swing of it yesterday? It feels odd going back to school at home doesn’t it? I know my son is finding it strange (yup, I’m teaching him as well at the moment) but Miss Moss-Silverson and I are so very proud of you all cracking on with it and we are looking forward to being able to see you all again! Today’s work is up!
English:
Spellings:
Today, have a look at each spelling and have a think about what each words means. Then look your up the meanings of the words in a dictionary. Don’t worry if you don’t have a dictionary at home, you can use an online dictionary.
Reading:
Please read for 15 minutes today.
Writing:
This week we will be creating an information page all about the Middle Stone Age Britain as part of our Topic, Tribal Tales.
Watch the short clip about life in Middle Stone Age Britain. Don’t make notes the first time you watch it, just listen carefully to all the information being given.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/story-of-britain-middle-stone-age-animation/zvkg92p
Now, watch again, this time, take notes of the important factual information you learn about. We have taken notes many times at school when watching clips and listening to information. Note taking is an important skill which you will use all through your lives.
Things to remember:
Have your pencil (sharp!) and paper ready before starting the video!
Short bullet points with factual information.
Don’t write in fully sentences as you will miss more information while writing.
Don’t worry about making sure you have used the correct spellings and punctuation, as long as you understand what you have written.
You could also research more on the Stone Age to find more information.
You will use all this information to create your information page when we start writing!
Maths:
How many different shapes can you draw with a perimeter of 24cm?
If you think you have found them all then try shapes with a perimeter of:
· 36cm
· 25cm
· 20cm
If you can challenge yourself then try and draw shapes that are different to rectangles and squares.
Topic:
There are different parts to the Stone Age – the Palaeolithic Period, the Mesolithic Period and the Neolithic Period. During that time the types of houses Stone Age people used changed. Have a look at the different houses shown on these sheets and then have a go at drawing and labelling homes from the different time periods.
