Additional Task
Home Learning Additional Task
Term 1 Weeks 4 - 5 (to be handed in by October 2nd)
For the home learning project over the next 14 days, we would like the children to keep a record of what they are eating. We have looked at an example food diary and discussed the importance of healthy choices and a balanced diet in Science. This will reinforce their learning, whilst being a great opportunity to try something new perhaps, work hard to achieve the "5 a-day" recommendation of fruit and vegetables and explore how much sugar is being eaten. Next week we are learning to classify food into groups of carbohydrates, sugars and fats, protein, fruits and vegetables. We are learning about nutrients and vitamins too, so they may be able to discuss their new knowledge after Wednesday 23rd when we visit science again.
If your child prefers to record this electronically, then please send an email to the office F.A.O. your child's teacher with an attachment, and we would love to share excel grids, word documents or PowerPoints. If your child prefers drawing, then please feel free to draw on the diary sheet. We look forward to seeing these sent back by Friday 2nd October. Thank you.
Term 1 Week 3
This week we have been exploring poetry and learning our model text - If you could see laughter. The children have been encouraged to discuss their opinions of the poem and talk about the features such as metaphors, similes, repetition, rhyme and rhythm. In preparation for National Poetry Day on 1st October, we would like the children to find a poem that they really enjoy. They can just talk to you about what they like, or they could bring it in to school to share - either in a book, as a print out from a website or perhaps copied with their neatest handwriting. If they are really brave, they might want to recite the poem to the class and perhaps to the school on National Poetry Day. Here are some websites to help find some suitable poems:
The Children’s Poetry Archive - Listen to the world's best children's poetry read out loud.
Michael Rosen Funny Poems | Kids Poems and Stories with Michael Rosen - YouTube
Thank you as always for being so supportive of your child's education.
