Missing you lots,

Story writing - Talking to you this week, a lot of you are writing stories at home. Here is some inspiration. 
Kevin Parry's 'The Arctic Circle' (OFFICIAL Stop-Motion Animation ...
Use this video to do one of the following;
  • Write a description of the desolate landscape;
  • Write a sequel - what happens when his neighbour finds the box? - perhaps he is less greedy. 
  • Where do they go once in the box?  What is it like in there?
  • Create an advertisement - advertising this place as holiday destination.
(Too tricky? Write short sentences about the video using capital letters and full stops). 


Grammar skills to practice this week: Capital letters, full stops, exclamation marks and question marks.

Maths 

Keep up with Mathletics and Timestable Rockstars. I will be following up with those children who haven't logged into Mathletics for a long time when I ring round this week, so if you have access to this please log in and have a go. 

This week we are going to concentrate on addition and subtraction. 






If this is too tricky, please feel free to change the numbers to smaller numbers or where you are not going to the next or previous 10.  

Try and complete them all and create your own additions and subtractions if you finish this quickly. 


Reading

Keep reading to an adult or sibling at home. Try and do this three times a week.

Wb 20/4/20 Miss Davies’ performance poetry family task

Work together to learn and perform this poem. https://childrens.poetryarchive.org/poem/the-boneyard-rap/ This is a long one so you may want to just do the chorus!

The Boneyard Rap by Wes Magee

This is the rhythm of the boneyard rap,
knuckle bones click and hand bones clap,
finger bones flick and thigh bones slap,
when you’re doing the rhythm of the boneyard rap.
Wooooooooooooooo!

It’s the boneyard rap and it’s a scare.
Give your bones a shake-up if you dare.
Rattle your teeth and waggle your jaw
and let’s do the boneyard rap once more. (do 8 finger snaps)
This is the rhythm of the boneyard rap,
elbow bones clink and backbones snap,
shoulder bones chink and toe bones tap,
when you’re doing the rhythm of the boneyard rap.
Wooooooooooooooo!

It’s the boneyard rap and it’s a scare.
Give your bones a shake-up if you dare.
Rattle your teeth and waggle your jaw
and let’s do the boneyard rap once more. (do 8 finger snaps)
This is the rhythm of the boneyard rap,
ankle bones sock and arm bones flap,
pelvic bones knock and knee bones zap,
when you’re doing the rhythm of the boneyard rap.
Wooooooooooooooo!

It’s the boneyard rap and it’s a scare.
Give your bones a shake-up if you dare.
Rattle your teeth and waggle your jaw
and let’s do the boneyard rap once more. (do 8 finger snaps)
Yeah!
