Writing

Your writing task for English over the next few days will be very purposeful.

With the on-going isolating we are all having to do, it would be nice if as many of you as possible could write a letter to the residents at the care home.

Try and plan your letter carefully (think particularly about what you want to put in each paragraph). Remember, the first paragraph should introduce why you are writing (to see how they are doing).

As well as asking them questions about how they are doing, and how things might be different for them during these times.

You may choose to then talk about things you have done since school closed, what you like and dislike about it, what you’re looking forward to doing when it’s over

Ideally, I would aim for about one page of A4 for your letter.

If possible, please complete your letter on Word (or a similar word processing program) – as I will need to email them onto the care home.

If you have any questions about what to include in your letter or how to set it out, then feel free to email me.

Art

Some of you may have seen this already, but he’s some guides on how to draw a few (rather random) things by an illustrator (Rob Biddulph). Choose your favourite and have a go! You can have a got at as many of these as you wish. I’d love to see what you all create.

I hope everyone is doing well and thank you for all the pictures you have been sending in – they’ve been fantastic. Also, the mature approach towards your learning a lot of you have shown by regularly asking questions when you’re unsure of a question has been absolutely wonderful!

Remember, you don’t have to just send me in the work I’ve set. If you’ve been doing anything else interesting, send it in. I’m sure everyone else would love to see. We could also do with some more running/walking/cycling distances – even if it’s just running some laps around your garden. We’ve had another 10 miles towards out target, so we are 350 miles away from arriving back to Norway!

Have a look at some of the things sent in over the past couple of day.

History / Geography

The Vikings invaded Britain between the end of the 8th Century (793) and midway through the 11th Century (1066). When the Vikings began invading Britain, the Anglo-Saxons had already divided Britain into 7 kingdoms – England didn’t exist as a country at this point (neither did Scotland and Wales).

Try and label this map with which kingdom is which. You can research this if you’re not sure. Be careful Britain has been divide into more than 7 parts. The regions which would later become Wales and Scotland had their own separate kingdoms (e.g. The Kingdom of Powys later became part of Wales whilst Pictland and Strathclyde later became parts of Scotland).

These 7 kingdoms eventually became the Kingdom of England (in the 10th Century). In the 18th Century, the Kingdom of England later “united” with the Kingdoms of Scotland and Wales to form the “United Kingdom of Great Britain” and in the 19th Century formed the “United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland”.

PDF 7 Kingdoms

Do any of these Kingdoms sound familiar to you? Are any of the their names still used today?

Reading

Today’s task is to create a quiz based on the book you are currently reading. The questions for this quiz should be based on what you have read yourself so far.

Aim for at least 10 questions for your quiz and try to make sure you vary the type of question your asking – don’t just go for all simple fact recall questions (e.g. In chapter 3, what was the teacher’s name?).You could include questions which:

– ask opinions and explanations (e.g. Based on chapter 3, who was your favourite character and why?)

– ask for evidence (e.g. Based on page 8,  what makes you think Ellie is a brave character?)

– tick box questions (e.g. true or false)

– language questions (e.g. find and copy a word from page 12 which means happy)

Science 

Find a living organism (e.g. a tree, flower, insect) and make an observational drawing of it (i.e. sketch what you see). Try and make your sketch as accurate and detailed as possible.

Feel free to do more than one of these – if you wish.
