Home learning week beginning 4th May

Hello Kestrels, 

Have you managed to get yourselves lots of stickers through Bug Club? Did you enjoy sinking your boats in the science experiment?

Keep reading on Bug Club - collect more stickers or add items to your tree house!

Continue working on learning your spellings from the list in your learning pack. I have added this to the resource section in case you have lost it. Aim to learn 5-10 a week.

Year 3's - you need aim to learn and recall the multiplication and division facts for the 2,3,4,5,8,10 times tables.

Year 4's - you need to aim to learn and recall ALL your times tables up to 12 x 12.

Use TT Rockstars, hit the button or any other game or activity that will help you remember them.

This week you are going to think about writing a booklet about an animal of your own. Look back at the book Big Cats, which page headings will work for your animal? You can either research an animal yourself or use the facts about camels I have given you.

Write the information using the grammar you have practised last week (fronted adverbials etc) and add drawings / maps / diagrams.

 HINT – I would use these page headings:-

Introducing ________           _______ Habitats        Different types of __________

Maths - Aim to add up amounts of money and work out change

Using money activities, see how many of the activities you can complete this week.

1.      Ask your adult to put a price on the food you eat for meals and or snacks – add up how much they cost you each day. OR maybe your grown can give you an amount of play money to spend on snacks or food each day. Your grown up may choose to make unhealthy snacks much more expensive than healthy snacks!
2. Money art - look at the resource sheet to explain this activity.
3. Maths frame game – Practise adding up amounts and working out change. Choose your own level to challenge yourself. OR make a shopping board game like the ones in the resource section.
4. Play a shopping game with an adult. Take turns in being the shopkeeper. Make coins and notes at home and buy items from your bedroom. OR play this shopping game online. Choose the level to challenge yourself, either matching the amount with exact coins or using mixed coins to work out change.
5.   Solve these money problems  Choose one of the money problem games to play OR make up some money problems of your own.

Read the story below or watch a YouTube clip of the Miraculous Catch. Choose one of the following - write down the main points of the story and draw a picture OR make a cartoon strip telling the story OR use lego or other toys to recreate part of the story, write a caption for your model OR paint a picture of the most important part of the story OR act out the story with people in your house.

Use the internet to find out what the Dordogne area of France is like.

Is it flat? Mountainous? Does it have many cities? Does it have any castles? Draw or paint a picture of what you think the Dordogne looks like after your research.

Science

I have added a new experiment for you to try! ENJOY! Take photos to show me what you have found out.
