ScienceTopic Sound

Sound is created when something vibrates and sends waves of energy (vibration) into our ears. The vibrations travel through the air or another medium (solid, liquid or gas) to the ear. The stronger the vibrations, the louder the sound. Sounds are fainter the further you get from the sound source.Investigate: how can you make sounds with a different ‘pitch’?

PitchThe pitch of a sound is how high or low the sound is. A high sound has a high pitch and a low sound has a low pitch.

A tight drum skin gives a higher pitched sound than a loose drum skin.

Weekly short writing task : Small Folk Story starter!

They had lived there for as long as he could remember. Generations and generations passed, but very little changed. They kept themselves to themselves, hidden away from the world. Solitary, peaceful, different: they enjoyed staying out of the limelight. They enjoyed letting others be the centre of attention.

They were strange folk in a way, small and strange. However, they were also very, very interesting. These small folk were entirely unique, as you are about to find out…

Can you write a story about them?

Question time!

Who do you think they are?

What do they look like?

Why do you think they like ‘staying out of the limelight’?

Why do they choose to live underground?

How many of them do you think live in this house?

What is it like inside?

Do you think there are other houses like this? Where are they?

Sentence challenge!

SPAG challenge

A preposition is a word that shows the relationship between one thing and another.

It may tell you where a thing is in relation to something else. E.g. The house was built under the ground.

It may tell you when something is in relation to another event. E.g. The ceiling would not stop leaking until the hole was fixed.

Can you find any prepositions in your writing? Can you write 3 sentences that contain prepositions?

Perfect picture!

Imagine who/what might live inside this house. Can you draw them?

Are there other houses like this? Can you draw one? You could perhaps draw what one of the rooms inside might look like!

Sick sentences!

These sentences are ‘sick’ and need help to get better. Can you help? Could you add an adverb?

There was a door. It led into a house. The house was underground. It was cosy inside.

WellbeingYoga is a way to exercise our bodies, our breath, and our minds all at the same time. Yoga makes us feel great! Yoga is a very ancient science that helps us to develop flexibility and strength in our bodies, and happiness and peace in our mind. Get a towel and practice some yoga poses. Remember to breathe in and out slowly and take your time to feel inside your body.

Whole school theme Week 3:

My Home is My Museum.

This is a project set up by the national museum of Liverpool

Imagine creating your own exhibition or gallery of artworks inspired by you! What would you like people to know about you? What are the important things in your home that are close to your heart? Who might you paint a picture of? Toys, special outfits, holiday souvenirs and much-loved teddy bears are some of the many things you might wish to include as objects are artworks.

Create a list of up to 10 objects that would be in an exhibition about you - write a short description about each one saying why you think they should be part of your display.

Or:

Create your own art gallery - draw, paint or make up to 10 of your very own artistic creations that represent the objects or people that are important to you. Write a short explanation of why you chose them. 

Then:

Name your exhibition - keep it simple by naming it after you, or be more inventive!

Design a poster - every great exhibition has a brilliant poster to go with it, to entice visitors to come and see it. Design something eye-catching!

Create a promotional video - ask your mum, dad, carer or guardian to help you take a video to promote your exhibition and what it’s all about. It should be up to 60 seconds long, filmed in landscape mode on a smartphone, and then shared on our social media accounts for everyone to see, using the hashtag #MyHomeIsMyMuseum
