Thursday 4th February

Good Morning All,

I am so impressed by your published versions of Extra Yarn, I loved reading them! I wanted to share a few with you all.  I know that a lot of you are still working on them, I can't wait to read them too!  What a great way to express yourselves too!

• ​Sophia created her own publication company - Liberty Publications - and added lots of detail to each page
• Zayn got very creative with his version too, I really like the yarn on the front cover
• Ayana retold her story orally
• Aiyla is very proud of her book, rightly so!
  
• ​Aryana has made her own book with excellent illustrations too
• Amaya wrote her story independently 
• Ibrahim has edited and improved his writing (well done!) and has made his own puppet theatre
  

Learning for today...

Reading/Spelling:
I have set some 2Dos on Purple Mash, please log in and complete them.

English/PSHE:

Everyone worries from time to time and this is ok. 

1. Listen to 'The Huge Bag of Worries' story.

2. Design your own bag. 

3. Think about all of things that worry you or make you feel sad.  These could be foods you do not like, memories that make you sad or things you dislike.

4.  Draw and label these things inside your bag.  
​
5. When your bag is full, you decide what you want to do with it.  You could put it in the bin, tear it up, put it somewhere safe if you want to look back at it.  The choice is yours.
​

Maths:

LIVE LESSON - PLEASE LOG IN VIA ZOOM
Please have your whiteboards/paper and pens ready and something to count with.
​
GROUP 1: 10-10.30PM
​
GROUP 2: 12-12.30PM

Task to complete AFTER the lesson - 

​Solve these sums, using a number line (you could use the picture below or print some if you can) or a ruler, or your brain only!

Challenge - How far apart are these numbers?

• 12 and 6
• 13 and 7
• 14 and 8
• 15 and 9

Computing:
​
1. Explore Simple City on Purple Mash, I have also set this as a 2Do.  We can use this to create scenes and animations using drag and drop tools. 

• Click on one area of the city
• Click on one of the empty images like the ones below
• Drag and drop different images in to create your own scenes
• You can also drag in letters and numbers to create labels

2. Try and create the same picture by cutting and sticking the same scenes and objects from paper.  
Discuss -

• What is the same and what is different between paper/digital versions?
• What happens if we make a mistake in either version?

REMINDER -
Tomorrow is 'Dress to Express' day! 
​
Express yourselves through your clothes, hair etc.

You could wear your favourite colour or choose a range of colours that express how you are feeling.
