Charlie's PowerPoint about Antarctica
Charlie has made a powerpoint presentation all about Antarctica as part of our topic. His mummy emailed me to let me know that he has 'really enjoyed learning about the continent. He is fascinated with the world and learning about it. He is really enjoying this topic and we regularly get the globe out to look at different countries then he looks in his picture atlas to find out about the animals and people that live there.'
Super learning Charlie!
Please have a look at Charlie's PowerPoint Presentation to learn lots of interesting facts!

Weekly English Tasks (plus daily reading)
Y1 Writing Unit (It is labelled as a Y2 unit but it is also suitable for Y1s)
Y2 Writing Unit (It is labelled as a Y3 unit but it is also suitable for Y2s)
Spellings - Common exception words
For the rest of this half term I would like the children to recap the set of tricky words it is expected for their year group to be able to spell by the end of the year. This is a chance to not only recap spellings but also work on handwriting too. Each week I would suggest a child does 1 page each from the booklets
Weekly Wider Curriculum Tasks
Geography - Now you know a little about which places are hot and cold in the world. I want you to choose one cold country to learn more about. Where is it? How would you travel there and how long would it take? What can you learn about the people, language, money, lifestyle, famous landmarks, things to do. How is it the same or different to Great Britain?
Present it in whatever way you want e.g. PowerPoint, poster, booklet, video
DT - Make - This week I want you to make your product - look at your plan to help you

Story: Many statues around the world have been questioned for their purpose and value in recent weeks.
Question: Why do we have statues?
Virtual Assembly: Now live on the Picture News Vimeo channel!
RE Ongoing Task
We would like you to learn more about the Churches in your local area.
What are they called? How are they the same and how are they different?
Think about why they are special to some people. Talk to people who have been inside to find out more about what is the same and different inside and why that might be.
Can you work out what all or most Churches seem to have?
You could also research 1 or more of the Churches and find about their history
or even do some Art or DT work inspired by them.

Geography - Which animals can you find in hot or cold countries? Use this hot and cold animals mat to help you discuss this. Why might those animals live in hot or cold countries? Discuss and research as needed. Once the children feel confident ask them to do this sorting activity
DT - Skills - Before you make your product you need to practice the skills you will need to make it so that you can do the best job possible
1)Think about how you are going to stick things together? Glue? Tape? Blu-tac? Staples? Have a try at sticking 2 materials together using different sticky things. Which works best? Which will you use when you make your product?
2)How is your cutting? Have a try. Try cutting out some pictures or ask someone to draw some straight and wavy lines and see if you can follow the lines with your scissors.
