Wednesday 24th February

 Good morning everyone! 

First of all, a message from Miss Carter 

Calling all Times Table Rock Stars...

It's competition time again! 

You are all enrolled in the Gloucestershire Rock Stars Championships and HA needs you!

Last time we came 12th out of all of the schools taking part - some of which are much bigger than ours! Your challenge this time is to make it into the top 10! How high can we get? It's all on you...

Check out the poster, log in to TTRS and play to win points for our school. 

I'm hoping that Class 6 will come top of the charts for HA! 

Here are your tasks for the day. 

Reading 

Complete 2 more reading challenges on Reading Plus 

Spellings 

Complete this crossword using spellings from this set of words. I have included all the words that you have been learning from SET 2 (only weeks 5,6,7 and 8). The clues are synonyms of these words so use the list to help you complete the crossword!

English Task 

Today we are going to be looking at prepositional phrases. Prepositions tell you when or where something is. For example, after, before, under, over, beside etc. Remind yourselves using this video

Prepositional phrases tell you where or when something is with a little more detail. For example, after the rain, before the storm, under the table, next to the football. This PowerPoint gives you a bit more information. The last slide asks you to have a go at creating some prepositional phrases. Do 5 to practise. 

Your Task 

Now I would like you to write 1 or 2 stanzas for a poem using prepositional language. Think about what life has been like during lockdown. An example could look like this: 

We could not meet in houses 
We went to parks instead 
The whole world seemed brighter 
As we all got out of our own heads 

Amid the fear and the bad news 
Hope was found inside
We forgot about our computer games 
and remembered that outside the world was wide 

WALT: Use prepositional phrases in poetry

D&T 

This half term we are going to be looking at Healthy eating and making healthy meals. 

For our first lesson, we are going to recap what healthy eating looks like. 

Have a look at this PowerPoint to remind yourself of the different food groups and the food pyramid. 

Then have a look at this food plate which is another way of representing how much of each food group we should be eating every day. 

Then compete this sorting activity to put the foods in the correct group. This shows you about how much of each food group you should eat every day. 

Then complete your own food pyramid. Please write in full sentences to show your understanding of what makes a healthy diet. 

WALT: Understand what a healthy diet looks like
