Week beginning 6th July - Literacy and Numeracy Activities
Literacy - This week we are looking at a selection of books about animals. On Monday we will look at the difference between fiction and non fiction by listening to a reading of Tigress. On Tuesday there is a book about polar bears to compare with the information about the tigers. The rest of the week is based on The Rainbow Bear by Michael Morpurgo. First we will find out about alliteration from the fantastic descriptive language in the book. Then on Thursday we will answer comprehension questions about the book and also make predictions. On Friday we finish the Rainbow Bear and decide what is fact, fiction or opinion.
Numeracy - The first three days this week are focused on bridging 10. First we are practising adding pennies and bridging 10. Then we are subtracting by bridging 10. Thursday and Friday are lessons focusing on time. First of all using measurements of time such as seconds, minutes and hours. Then we are practising telling the time to the hour and half past and making connections between analogue and digital clocks.
Computing
In computing this term we would have been starting to do coding. I have set a 2do on Purple Mash that is a great introduction to block coding called Fun with Fish. If the children get on well with this there is an extra coding activity called Snail Race.
It would be great if the children have a go at these activities. All is explained in the videos within the activity. For each challenge the children will watch a video that explains what they need to do. If anyone is having trouble accessing Purple Mash please contact school via email and we will advise how to solve any problems.
History
To continue our Grantham's Got Talent topic I would like you to find out about someone famous who came from Grantham. Her name was Margaret Thatcher. There are links to Ducksters website page about her and a Newsround video below. There is also a powerpoint attached.
Can you write a list of what Margaret Thatcher is famous for?

PSHE - Feelings and Emotions
To continue with our topic on feelings in PSHE here are a selection of videos by BBC Teach. They are made in a very child friendly way to help them understand their own emotions and how to best deal with them. There are quite a few different ones to look at so I would suggest spreading them out over the next couple of weeks. If possible it would be best if you can watch them with your child and discuss the feelings that they cover.
