This week in Maths the Bubble Bee's have been learning to multiply in a variety of ways. The began multiplying using concrete objects, moving onto pictorial. Below are pictures of the children creating 'arrays' to support their multiplication calculations.
In English this week we have finished off our leaflet writing. The children have absolutely embraced this progression of lessons, developing the necessary skills for writing an effective leaflet. The children have been thinking about the design of their leaflet, their writing and the pictures and images they wish to include. I am exceptionally proud of what they have produced.
The children have had the opportunity to explore clay this week and create something of their own choice. The children were shown two designs for making a pot however lots chose to make something different! We discussed the techniques in effectively modelling clay. Once they are dry the children will have the opportunity to paint them.
Additional home learning (set by the federation):
How Important is Mary Seacole? Mary Seacole was a Jamaican-born nurse who is remembered for helping soldiers during the Crimean War. Using this video can you create a simple timeline of Mary Seacole’s life? If this is too challenging, why not design an award for Mary Seacole? You could also locate Jamaica and Scotland on a world map.
Keep them Clean! Mary Seacole visited Florence Nightingale, another important nurse, during the Crimean War. Florence Nightingale was known for highlighting the importance of hygiene when caring for the sick, particularly handwashing. Create handwashing posters for the home. You might want to make up a jingle too!
Intriguing Inventions - Challenge yourself to invent something new. Perhaps a new gadget for the home to keep the family entertained, or something that would help a doctor or a nurse. You can draw and label your design, and could have a go at making it using things from the recycling box.
The Queen: Then and Now What was life like for Queen Elizabeth I? This video may help you to understand. How is life different for the current queen, Queen Elizabeth II? Create a list of the similarities and differences. You might focus on appearance, family and interests. You could show this using illustrations too or have a go at making contrasting portraits.
A Seriously Significant - Somebody Who is important to you? What makes them so important? You could draw or paint a portrait of your significant somebody using a photograph or digital image to support you. You may wish to write an information report about this person too!
Florence Nightingale - Watch this dramatisation of Florence Nightingale’s work. Can you… Create your own short drama or video about her? Create a hospital scene (photo/drawing/model/toy set up) of before and after Florence? Mute the video and make your own voiceover for it? Create a picture book based on Florence’s work?
