Emily's ELSA Takeover

6/5/2020

Hello everyone, Emily here,

Alice was working very hard at school yesterday sorting out the book swap, so she asked me if I would help her do the blog today :)  Alice was super impressed at the amount of children who came to the book swap - Well done you super stars! I hope you have all been enjoying your home learning - Alice and the team have created some wonderful learning for you all. A special shoutout forNourredine's poem - it was great!

So lets get started on today's learning....

First of all Alice would like me to share the guided reading answers from yesterday: 
Picture
​
1.Where does Marie live?
Brazil
2.What are there a lot of in a rainforest?
Animals and plants
 3.How many days a year does it rain?
200 days 
4.Why is Pablo not feeling well?
He is feeling car sick
5.Why is it dark in the rainforest?
Because the tall trees do not let the sun rays in.
6.Can you name 4 things that we get from the rainforest?
Rubber, coco , vanilla and avocados

 Literacy: The Tin Forest

 Character Emotions
Think about how the main character (the old man) felt throughout the beginning of the story!

I challenge you to think of at least 7 adjectives to describe his feelings. Draw out two outlines of the man and write your ideas inside. I will help you with one but can you think of 7 more? I think you can!

1. At the beginning of the story : determined 
2. As the character woke up from his dream: disappointed, 
​
To extend your learning around the outside of the outline of the man you could write what thoughts the character may have the different parts of the story.

 1. I will try my best to clear this awful mess!
2. My dream felt so real! Oh, how I wish things were different
!

Maths! 

Are You A Square?
 
Today for maths we are going to do a investigation all about you!

First of all I would like you to make some predictions (a sensible guess) about your height and arm span (see photos below of arm span):

1.Make a prediction- How many cm tall do you think you are? (Remember a ruler at school is 30cm)

2. Make a prediction- How many centimetres tall is your arm spam? Measure to find out!
 
Next I would like you to get an adult or sibling to help you with the measuring ( you might have a measuring tape at home, or a ruler! Don't worry too much if you don't have these things - try and get your adult to tell you what they think your height is in cm!)
 
  1. I think my height is __________.    2. My height is ______________
  1. I think my arm span is __________. 2. My arm span is ____________.
My height is 175cm​
Picture
My Arm Span is 88cm
Picture

After you work out your measurements you can find out if you are a square, a tall rectangle or a wide rectangle!

If you have the same height and arm span you are a SQUARE!
If your height is less than your arm span you are a TALL rectangle!
If you height is greater than your arm span you are a WIDE rectangle! 

P4C
​

I would like you to think about this P4C question! 

'Can one person change the world?'

Did you know that YOU can make a difference to the world! There have been many children who have changed laws and the lives of others... like Greta Thunberg!  (read about her in the link below)

To help you answer this question think to yourself what change would you like to see in the world?
​Then- how can you go about making it happen? We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this!

History:

 This year, VE Day is being held on Friday 8th May! And there’s no reason why you can’t enjoy brilliant VE Day celebrations from the comfort of your own home! If you are unsure on what VE day is you can read this PowerPoint below. I will also attach a link to some bunting you can create at home to celebrate this memorable day!
How to Make
  1. First download the PDF’s onto your computer desktop.
  2. Next put some white copier card into your printer and print each poster out at A4 size.
  3. Cut the bunting shapes out with scissors.
  4. Choose your chosen pen colours and colour the posters in.
  5. Use a hole punch to punch a small hole where the red circles are. Cut a long piece of string and thread this through the holes in the bunting.

Do not worry if you don't have a printer!

​Create your own from the templates :)
Before I go, I will leave you with this....
​
Here is a video of one of my FAVOURITE songs! Have a little boogie to it in your living room! Dance, smile... BE HAPPY! 

Take care, wash your hands and stay safe!

Emily :)
