RE Charities

Our RE topic is Charity Work.

Here are some activities for you. You could work through them in order, or pick your favourites.

How many different charities can you name? Write a list and see how long you can make it. E.G. Cuan Wildlife, Comic Relief…
Consider: Why do we need charities? What work do they do? What would happen without them? Write down your thoughts or discuss it with a helpful adult.
There is a saying: Be the change you want to see in the world. What does that mean? Design a poster to spread that message.
Choose a charity to research. Find out who they help, why they do it, how they help etc. You can choose how to present your research: Powerpoint, poem, writing, poster.
Invent your own charity. What would it do? Can you think of a name for your charity? How would you raise money?
Design an advert for a real charity or your own charity. Plan what you would like to say. Act it out. Maybe you could record it?

Week beginning 11th May – Measures

This week we are going to have lots of fun measuring practically!

Hopefully the weather will stay nice so you can do some of your measuring outside.

Activity ideas – Length

Measure the area of your bedroom. Use a tape measure or any other measuring tools you have at home to measure the length and width of your room. Now use long multiplication or a calculator to x the two numbers together to find the area.
Use a tape measure to measure the perimeter or your garden, add up the length of the sides.
Make a ramp and then measure how far different cars travel. You could use different materials on the ramp to see if they effect how far the car travels.

Capacity

Collect a variety of containers, now estimate how much liquid you think each will hold and then measure accurately using a measuring jug (ask and adult and be careful with this).
Can you make a potion/perfume/special drink containing different liquids? Write a recipe for others to follow with how many ml of each liquid is needed.

Weight

You could bake something with your family, this involves lots of weighing of different ingredients. Maybe you could create or adapt your own recipe.
If you have bathroom scales use these to weigh a variety of objects around your home.
If any of you do not have scales in the home, you could estimate how heavy and object is and compare with other objects.

After you’ve had a go at some of the practical activities, have a look at these worksheets which contain the sort of questions you will see in assessments.

Government Announcement 10.5.20

As I am sure you will have heard this evening, the Government are putting into place for Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 to return to school after half term. As a school, we do not know anymore than that at this moment in time. Please allow us time to be sent further guidance and we will communicate with you as soon as we know more.

Please note that current arrangements still stand where we are only able to have the children of existing key workers and those with a social worker in school. Again, we will let you know as soon as possible if this position changes.

Thank you very much for your understanding.

Thank you :)

We just wanted to say a big thank you to all the children’s families who have emailed us the work they have been doing at home. It is so lovely to see how you are all getting on with your work but also to see your smiling faces and hear how you are.

A special well done to Szabina who has shown us lots of the work she has been doing at home!

Take care everyone 🙂
