Home Learning
English: 20 minutes daily reading. When you have finished your book, please complete one of the Blooms questions at the back of your Reading Record. Use the example to help you structure your response.
Spelling: Log on to Purple Mash this week and have a go at the 'Homophones’ quiz. There is a Look Cover Write Check sheet at the bottom of this page for you to practise.
Maths: Please complete Section 2 Test 5 from your booklet.
National Storytelling Week: On Tuesday we explored the magic of storytelling through sound and rhythm with Alim Kamara. Using what you learnt from the online workshop, (thinking about beat and rhyming patterns) write your own rap lyrics about a subject of your choice. They can be as long or as short as you like with a maximum of 300 words. You can email in your raps to the school office, or write them up and hand them in to Mrs Smith.
Competitions
PACT (Petersfield Area Churches Together) Easter Challenge: Can you create an A4 piece of artwork that focuses on Easter themes? This means brightly coloured crosses, rainbows and Spring/rebirth themes (plants flowering, baby animals of different types, etc). Designs need to be handed in to Miss Coleman before 13th February. PACT will then select a winning design; all the winners and runners up receive gift-token prizes from PACT. Furthermore, the overall winning design will be made up into an Easter Card, which is then posted through the letterbox of all houses in the Petersfield area!
