Spelling

It's the end of the week and time to test yourself on your 10 chosen spellings. Ask someone at home to read aloud your spellings whilst you write them down.

Once you are finished, self mark your words.  Remember to check each letter in turn.

If you got some spellings wrong, identify where these are wrong to help you next time. These will be the first spellings on your list for next week.

Foundation - Outdoor Learning

This week, the focus of the Outdoor Learning is 'Survival Skills'. There are 6 tasks to choose from. Or have a go at creating your own Bear Grylls or Steve Backshall inspired survival task.  Remember to ask an adult for supervision / assistance. Please upload photos of your super survival skills on seesaw.

Science - Materials and their properties.

Have a look around your home and see what different materials have been used to make different items. Create a list of the different materials you can see.

Think about the properties of different materials. Why are buckets made from plastic? Why don't we use wooden buckets?  What is the benefit from wearing a wool jumper? What materials are used for waterproof coats? Why are these materials chosen? 

Complete these two activities. You won't have a resource table set up, but you can find these items at home.

Science - optional practical activity

Just for fun - this activity creates jelly eggs. Follow the instructions to create a jelly egg. Once you have created your jelly egg, try shining a torch through to see what happens. See if you can bounce it!! Only bounce from a small height of a few centimters to begin with. The bouncing needs to be carried out with a parent (outside is best) as they are messy!
