Woodpeckers Friday 10th July

Date: 9th Jul 2020 @ 9:15am

Good morning Woodpeckers 

We hope you had a lovely week and have had fun learning about ‘transport’. Blue Superhero group had a great week and enjoyed sketching, completing the STEM activity and creating a mosaic for the underground which was one of Foxes activities. 

Today’s learning:

Maths complete the Mass and Capacity activities.

Writing - complete the telescope activity on the page 10 in your Talk 4 Writing booklet. Then write a detailed setting paragraph to describe what you see. Try to include expanded noun phrases, similes and prepositional (place) phrases. 

Reading - Today, read for pleasure. Choose your favourite book or read the next chapter of your current book. Perhaps you could find an outdoor space to read.

Spellings - Choose 5 Common Exception words and write them in a series of dots. Apply them into sentences about travelling.

Topic - Look into how people travel around in India. Buses, cycle rickshaws, auto rickshaws, e-rickshaws, tempos (big, brutal looking auto rickshaws), taxis, boats, tongas (horse-drawn carts), metros and urban trains provide transport around India's cities. Then compare this to Venice and how the people there travel around (gondola and sandolo tours all around the city). 

DT - Can you then design a new vehicle suitable for each of these places thinking carefully about suitable and local materials?

Have a great day and if you need anything today please get in touch on our weekly discussion page.

Have a lovely weekend and take care,

Mrs North
