9:00 Reading Have a look at the story spinner resource page and have a go at making your own. There is a video below that shows you how they work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBXq93-1poU&feature=youtu.be If you don’t have a paper clip – get creative – you could number them and roll a dice/close your eyes and drop a coin to see which one it lands on.

Use your story spinners and talk about 2 questions on each spinner (there are 3). You could talk to an adult, sibling or even your favourite teddy. Set up your own DR style lesson. Make notes in your book of the ideas and questions you have.

Read your reading book for half an hour and then find the meaning of three words that you didn’t know and write them in your book.

We are going to start a new unit in Talk for Writing. You are going to be learning how to write a ‘wishing tale’ I will be referring to our story called ‘The King of the Fishes’ There will be a resource pack to go with the literacy lessons this half term. Read and complete pages 3-6 You don’t need to print – you can just do the answers in your book. It might be useful to copy the story out so you can learn it off by heart like we do in class!

Today you will be investigating vocabulary. Complete pages 7-9 Challenge – Can you think of any other synonyms for the words that you have learnt?

IXL – spend an hour on Literacy activities.

Let’s see how much of the story you understand. Complete the questions on page 10. You don’t need to print – just copy the answers into your books.

Think back to when we have literacy lessons in school. Spend today making your own story map to go with ‘The King of the Fishes’ (starting on page 3). Can you come up with actions to go with the story as you tell it.? Remember not to use too many actions for each sentence and don’t forget the expression too. Practise, practise, practice. Can you remember the whole story and perform it to your family? Practise this lots over the next few weeks. You could even get your family to record you and send it in for us to see.

2:00 Topic

Our new topic for this half term is ‘Rise and Shine’ and we will be learning all about light and dark. Science Begin by making a mind map about everything you already know about why we have light and dark. What is light and dark? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zr8thbk Follow the link above and start to find out more – watch the videos and follow the activities. Answer the following questions in your books: What is light? What are sources of light? Then complete the worksheet – Different Sources of Light – in the resources below.

Science Using what you learnt yesterday, do some extra reading on DK Find Out ( https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/science/light/ ), create your own glossary of key vocabulary – draw pictures and write definitions to go with the words – include opaque, transparent, reflective, shadow, natural/artificial source of light, shiny, mirror, reflection, sunlight. Please continue to add to this glossary as you learn more over the next few weeks. You could make it in a little book or as a large poster – make sure you get all the spellings correct too.

RE What is a miracle? How many miracles can you think of from the Bible? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/z3fdwmn Watch the clip or read the story in the bible if you have one - Matthew 14:13-21. What do you think about

this miracle? How do you think this

miracle happened? Do you think that it

happened exactly as it is told in the Bible?

If not, what might have been different and what do you think would have been the same?

What is the lesson from this miracle?

What was Jesus showing and teaching by performing this miracle?

What does this miracle teach about God?

Answer in your books.

Science What happens when light shines on a shiny mirror? Have a look around the house for different types of materials e.g. dark/light fabric, metal spoon, white paper, plastic, mirror, glass. Create a table in your books and write the name of each material in one column. Then turn off the lights (try to make the room as dark as possible) and observe what you notice when you shine a light on each material. Write down your observations in the next column.

Material Observation

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zs3ygk7 https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/ztcg9j6 Write an explanation in your book about how you can keep safe when it is dark outside - which materials are the best to wear? What is reflection? Make sure you use the science to explain your ideas. REMEMBER my favourite word = because!!!

Science Is it safe to look directly at the sun? How can you protect yourself from the sunlight? What job do sunglasses do? Create a poster to warn people about the effects of looking at the sun and give them some top tips on how to protect yourself.

History

What would the world be like without any lights?

Think about all the things you do in the day that involves being able to see. Write a diary entry that shares what a ‘day in the life’ of you would look like if you had no light?

Then design a poster that celebrates everything we can now do because of the lightbulb e.g. playing football in the winter in the evenings, reading at night, reduced fire risk from candles…

History How did human make light before we had electricity? Answer in your book. Read the information on ‘The historic race to make a better bulb’ in the resources below and then fill in the timeline or draw one in your books. Who invented the lightbulb? Find out as much as you can about this and create a biography about them. When? How? https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/science/famous-scientists/thomas-edison/ Challenge – can you remember when the Egyptians/Kingdom of Benin/Stone Age/Bronze Age/Iron Age were? – What sort of light sources would they have used?

RE What are your opinions on miracles? Do you believe they are real? Do they still occur today? Read Jesus Turns Water Into Wine - John 2:1-11. Or watch it at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaWI4-n0z_0 What is the lesson from

this miracle? What was Jesus showing

and teaching by performing this miracle?

What does this miracle teach about God?

Answer these questions in your books. What do Christians believe about miracles? Why and how do they believe they happen?

Science Make a Shadow Clock At 9 am: Get a piece of paper and put in in front of a window. Place a stick or other simple object on the paper – and draw around the shadow that you see. Return to the paper every hour and draw around the shadow each time. TOP TIPS:

Remember not to have any other light sources in the room (turn off any other lights)

Remember to label each shadow with the time

This is also great to do outside on the concrete if you have the space to do it with chalk

Watch how it changes and moves. Why do you think the shadow changes throughout the day? Now watch the videos in the links below:

Computing How do we get computers to do what we want? https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/z4gsy9q Watch the videos and read about the answer to this question.

RE We are going to think about another one of Jesus’ miracles today. Watch the clip below and think about the following questions: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01108lf What is the lesson from

this miracle? What was Jesus showing

and teaching by performing this miracle?

What does this miracle teach about God?

Christians believe it reminds us about the ‘storms’ in life and how we can trust God to be the guide through our ‘storms’ and to bring calmness to our life. Can anyone perform miracles? Are there any modern day miracles that you have heard of? Can you think of any miracles from other faiths? Research the miracles that have been performed in other faiths and record. e.g. Jewish story behind Hanukkah, the miracle of having a baby, doctors helping someone to get better. Using your research create your own artwork that shows one of these miracles. You

Scissors

Skewers

White wall

1. Choose what type of puppets you want. How about your favourite animal? Or your friends and family? Or maybe create the characters

from the story you have been writing?

2. Draw outlines for your puppets on the cardboard (e.g. old cereal boxes) and cut them out.

3. Use sellotape to attach a skewer (straw/pencil etc) to the back of each of your puppets.

4. Put the lamp on the floor or on a table. Point it at the wall and turn it on. Turn off other lights and close the curtains.

5. Hold your puppets between the light and the wall. Can you see a shadow on the

wall? Move the puppets between the light and the wall to make the shadow

different sizes. What happens?

Now you have your own puppets, you can make your own play! Film it

You can use your hands as puppets too, just like this picture.

Light travels as a wave. When you put your shadow puppet in between the lamp and

the wall, the puppet blocks some of the light waves.

The closer you put your shadow puppet to the lamp, the more light waves are

blocked. This makes a bigger shadow. Moving the shadow puppet away from the lamp

makes a smaller shadow as fewer light waves are blocked.

Did you know? A lunar eclipse is the Earth casting a shadow on the moon!
