Year: 2020

As part of our learning over the next few weeks, we will be making a ‘bean diary’ where we will record how the plant has changed each week. If you had a go at planting runner beans at home, you are welcome to draw your own plant in your bean diary!

You will need paper, a pencil and some coloured pencils.

Have a look at the picture of the runner bean. What does it look like? Can you draw the bean in ‘week 1’ of your bean diary?

Charlie challenge: can you think of a word to describe the bean? Have a go at writing the initial sound next to your picture (for example, ‘s’ for small).

Please upload a picture of your runner bean diary to Tapestry and come back next week for an update on Miss Wright’s runner bean plant!

We have seen that on the Sing Up website this week their song of the week is ‘One moment, one people’. This is one of our favourites to sing together at school! Follow the link below to learn the song with Beccy Owen. Mrs Sims, Mrs White and Mr Jones have been singing along at home!

Each week Miss Hunter will be setting you a challenge.

This week’s challenge is to draw a dinosaur. Sounds easy… but this challenge needs to be completed with your eyes closed! Once you’ve drawn your outline, you are allowed to open your eyes and colour the dinosaur in.

Don’t forget to upload your pictures to Seesaw!

Listen to Mr. King as he reads one of his favourite stories Flat Stanley. It’s a the simple tale of Stanley Lambchop, an ordinary boy who has the misfortune to be squashed flat by a cork notice board. 

Watch the video to help you understand one of this week’s maths activities from the learning pack for this week. You don’t need to do them all in one go!

⭐️Make some superworms using spaghetti, string or playdough. Can you put them in size order? Which one is the longest/shortest? Are any the same length? Challenge: Try measuring with a ruler or tape measure.

Watch the video to help you understand some of this week’s learning projects from the learning pack for this week. You don’t need to do them all in one go!

⭐️ Design and make one or a family of superworms. Use string, pasta, beads, cheerios, an old sock stuffed with paper etc. Challenge: Can you make a repeating pattern? Make the worms ‘super’ by creating capes or superhero costumes.

⭐️ Find out a bit more about worms. Then try and create a wormery following these instructions. Challenge: Which day of the week will you find the most bugs outside? Think of a way of recording this.

⭐️ The Islamic tradition of Ramadan begins this week in the 9th month of the Muslim calendar and lasts for a month. This is followed by a celebration called ‘Eid al- fitr’. During Ramadan, Muslims fast during the day. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam and means not eating or drinking. Eid is a time of celebration to mark the end of Ramadan. Muslims may decorate their hands with beautiful henna at this time. Can you design your own henna pattern? What else can you find out about Ramadan and Eid?
