15 July 2020: Home learning

Tuesday 14 July 2020

Happy Wednesday – you’ve two more get-ups until the summer holidays. Are you ready to be year 4s and year 5s?

 

School trip

Today, we’re leaving London and heading up to Scotland’s capital city: Edinburgh. We’re going to visit Edinburgh Zoo and have a look at their animal webcams to see what the animals are up to.

Our focus for today is reading. There are three reading comprehensions for you to choose from with varying abilities. 1 star being the easiest and 3 star being the hardest.

1 star – learn all about tigers.

2 star – learn all about koalas.

3 star  – learn all about elephants.

 

Living and Learning

Normally in school, we would be talking a lot about transition and moving up into a new year group. Half of you stay with your current teacher whilst the other half experience a new teacher.

Today, I would like you to develop a character profile of your superhero self, listing five superhero qualities and writing a unique fact about yourselves. As an extension, you can create a basic comic strip of your superhero self, describing your superhero qualities in basic story format.

If you would like a template to follow, there is one here.

This will be useful to show either Mrs Welsby and I, if you’re in year 3 currently, or Miss Beatson, if you’re in year 4 currently. Either save them for September or ask your grownup to email a copy to beckyrowley@spherefederation.org.
