Red Area Home Learning Heroes Well done for all of the fantastic work that you did last week for the Home Learning Project ‘The Weather’.

We have absolutely loved looking at what you have been learning. Last week’s Home Learning Heroes who will receive certificates via email were…

Finley (Jasper) for his amazing maths work!

Olivia (Ruby) for her creative work showing the weather in each season.

Daniel (Garnet) for his beautiful handwriting practise!

If you have a piece of work that you are particularly proud of

this week, ask your adult to take a photo of it and email it into

the school office enquiries@barrscourtps.org.uk.

Just remember to name the work and say which class you

are in so that the office knows which teacher to direct it to.

Please send the work to us by 4pm on Thursday.

Enjoy your learning and stay safe!

Watch the video story ‘Winnie the Witch’

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGU8yv15Zrk Winnie lives in a black house where all the furniture is black. Her cat, Wilbur, is black too and she keeps losing him. She changes Wilbur to try to fix the problem. In the end she realises that the best thing to do it change the colours of the house. Task 1 – Imagine that you are Wilbur and you are up in the tree. You are a multi-coloured cat! Write a letter to Winnie from the top of the tree. Think about what has happened in the story so far and how you feel. What do you want Winnie to do next? Try to use conjunctions to explain your thoughts (and, but, because, so, or, if, when Task 2 – In the story, Winnie has to use lots of magic to make things change colour. Write a magic spell which would change objects in the house into different colours. You could try to make it rhyme. See Resource 1 for some ideas. Or you could try an acrostic poem using the word ‘MAGIC’. Task 3 – In the story, Winnie has a black cat which causes her problems in her black house. Can you think of a different version of the story – maybe you have a pet at home which might cause a problem if your house was all one colour? Have a go at writing a short story of your own. If you’d prefer, you could write a different Winnie story using Resource 2. Try to use plenty of WOW words and remember capital letters and full stops. You could even draw some pictures to go alongside your writing!

This week you are revisiting 2D shapes and thinking about their properties. Task 1 – Watch the video https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zjv39j6/articles/ztpwdmn Complete the activities beneath the video and then go on a shape hunt around your house and garden. How many of each shape can you find? Look out for: squares, circles, triangles, rectangles, pentagons, hexagons and octagons. Explain to your adult how you know what the shape you have found is. Can you find any other 2D shapes? Find out the name of these too using the internet! Task 2 – Play “What’s in the bag?” Use real life shapes from around your house or cut some shapes up and place them in a bag. Take turns with your adult to choose a shape in the bag and describe its properties. Your partner then has to guess the shape. Task 3 – Draw a picture of your house using only 2D shapes. Can you label each shape and describe its properties? How many sides and how many corners? Try to use all of the different 2D shapes that you know!

Computing: Use Espresso on the Discovery Education website - Username: student35032 Password: espresso Go to KS1 – Geography – Places we like to visit Read through Sophie and Sal’s diary to find out what they like to do in their local area. Click the link on the left of the page that says, ‘Things to do’. Fill in your answers on screen using your typing skills (there is a word bank at the bottom of the page to help you). Print your page if you have a printer available.

Music: Listen to the song about the UK https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=12&v=ncqDJW4EhmE&feature=emb_logo Can you name the countries of the UK and their capital cities? Write your own song about the area you live in. You could use any musical instruments available or create a matching dance routine. Ask an adult to record your performance.

Geography: Use Espresso on the Discovery Education website - Username: student35032 Password: espresso Go to KS1 – Geography – Our Journey to school: Sophie and Sal’ Watch the video of Sophie and Sal’s journey to school. Can you complete all three of the activities? Draw a map of your journey to school and label what you see on the way. This could be shops, your friend’s house, traffic lights… You could use Google Maps to help remind yourself if you are unable to go out for a walk.

Geography: Use the Human and Physical Geography glossary (Resource 4) to remind you about the differences between human and physical features of a location. On your daily walk, keep your eyes peeled for human and physical features of the area that you live in. Record what you spot using the observation list (Resource 5) if you are able to print it or create your own list as you go. Why not have a go at labelling whether the features are human (H) or physical (P)? If you are unable to go out for a walk, you could explore from inside the safety of your garden or from an upstairs window!
