Year R

Take a photo or draw a picture of yourself in the snow. Can you label the picture with snowy words or write a sentence about what you are doing?
Your grown-ups can help you by saying the words slowly with you to help you hear some of the sounds to write.

Year 1

Imagine you were explaining to a friend how to make a snowman. What instructions would you give them?
Can you write your instructions down? (Have a go at spelling tricky words yourself).
Remember to start each instruction with a number, and check that you have used capital letters and full stops in your work.
Now try to follow your instructions and build a fantastic snowman!
Take a photo or draw a picture of you next to your snowman, and bring your instructions and photos into school next week.
Have fun!!

Year 2

Using your school reading book (or other book if you like)

Choose one of your favourite characters and write 5 adjectives to describe your character's appearance. Now choose 5 to describe your character's personality.
Think about your favourite part of the book and write a short explanation of why you like this part so much.
Keep reading as much as you can. Different types of books and comics are all good!!

Keep practising your times tables and number bonds- to 10, 20, 100 etc

If you have any questions you can email Mr Garner at mrgarner@hotmail.co.uk. I don't use this email very often anymore but I cannot access my school email from home.
I will check it through the day and answer when I am online.

Year 3

While school is shut please research the author Roald Dahl.

You could do this in a variety of ways:

If your parents agree, you could use the internet - try www.roalddahl.com or www.readathon.org/2008_roald_dahl.html, (but don’t just print information).
Read the blurbs on the back of his books (if you have any).
If you cannot find enough to write add some facts about the books he wrote.

When you have done this write some interesting facts about Roald Dahl. We will be looking at his books as soon as school opens so bring this work in with you.

If you have time and can find a Dahl book, you could read it and decide what you like or don’t like about it and make some notes to bring to school.

Year 4

Please do some research into rain forests.
Practise your times-tables and time these if possible. (Use a three minute timer to do as many as possible from a random mix of tables for their own individual level - set by your parent).

Year 5

Year 6

We hope you are enjoying your time in the snow and staying warm and safe. Here are a few tasks to keep you busy over the next few days. From Miss Steel and Mrs Williams.

On Tuesday you began to find out about the Queen’s family tree. We would like you to find out information about your own family and then create your own family tree. Try to go back as far as you can and spend time presenting the information carefully and neatly. Use a large sheet and a ruler for drawing lines. If you can add pictures and photos please do so.
(You may need some help to present this accurately)
The next task is to produce a fact page about the early years of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd (before she was Queen).

Make sure you present the information neatly (use a line guide and draw a margin on plain paper) so the work can be put into your topic folder. You will need to carry out some research and take these questions into consideration. Add pictures if you can.

What is her full name?
Who were her grandparents?
Who were her parents and when did they marry?
When and where was she born?
Who was her sister and when was she born?
Where was she educated?
What did she do during the 2^nd World War years?
Who did she marry and when?
