Science Enrichment Day!

We have been using our investigative and experimental skills to carry out a range of activities. We have had lots of fun!

We have made:

electrical circuits to make the light bulb light,
soap bubble prints using paint, washing-up liquid and water,
erupting volcanoes, using vinegar, washing-up liquid, food colouring and bicarbonate of soda,
boats out of tin foil and testing to see if they would float or sink,
growing rainbows with kitchen roll, felt-tip pens, water, paperclips and thread.

Maths Enrichment with an Eco Focus

https://www.j2e.com/jit5?fileId=y2gdO00uku6N4kgJ#chart

The children in our class think that we should try to walk to school as often as we can to help the environment. Click on the above link to see our block graph on how we travel to school. We made the block graph as a class and discussed the results.

Labelling the Beanstalk

We have enjoyed using our reading skills to label Jack’s beanstalk. We used the pictures on the labels, initial sounds and blending to read the labels and put them in the correct places.

Mathematics and Numeracy

Collect a range of different sized sticks in your garden. Can you measure them in standard units such as centimetres? Can you measure them in non-standard units i.e using pieces of pasta to measure?
Can you draw around your hand? Pretend it’s the giant’s hand. Estimate how many kidney beans the giant could fit on his hand?
Can you log on to TTRockstars and practise your times tables?
Can you practice writing your number formation 1-20?
Can you learn your number bonds to 10? I.e. 0+10=10, 1+9=10, 2+8=10, 3+7=10, 4+6=10, 5+5=10, 6+4=10 etc.

Language, Literacy and Communication

Write a diary – think about what it may be like to be a giant for the day. What would you do? Who do you live with? How might being a giant be different to being a child?
Draw a picture of Jack and colour it in neatly. Think of as many different adjectives (describing words) as you can to describe Jack and write them down. Can you do the same for the giant? How are they similar and how are they different?
Questionnaire – Think of questions that you would like to ask the giant if you were to meet him. Write each of your questions down or maybe an adult could scribe them for you. Don’t forget to use a capital letter to start your question and a question mark.

Humanities

Create a map of Jack’s village, where the house was, the market and the beanstalk.
Could you also create a map for the land of the giant and include your own key features.

Expressive Arts

Create your own beanstalk. It could be a painting, a collage or even a model. Be as creative as you can!

Health and Well-being

Play a board game with a member of your family. Maybe you could create your own game?

Hotseating-A Beautiful Butterfly

This week we have been using our drama skills to take on the role of the butterfly from ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar.’ The children thought of great questions to ask the butterfly and when in role as the butterfly, answered as that character. They did an amazing job!
