What do Christians learn from the Creation Story?

This term, the children will be learning more about the story of Creation from the chapter of Genesis. They will learn about why they see God as the Creator and what parts of the story might be important for Christians living today.

English

This week, the children will be continuing with their non-chronological reports and using what they did last week, to create their own sea creature! 

First, the children need to design their own creature using the template below. They will have to think about how it moves, it's diet and it's appearance. 

This is an important task, as in the coming weeks, the children will need to create a model of their sea creature...so try not to be too elaborate! As I mentioned in the June Half Term tab, start collecting lots of junk modelling objects or things you would normally recycle!

Once designed, get the children to be as independent as possible using the documents from last week to plan, draft and complete their own factfile for their created creature!

Reading

Please find attached below a Reading Activity linked to the opening chapter of a story called The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman.

I've also attached two links below to some Home Learning Workbooks released last week by a fantastic company called Vocabulary Ninja. This is where my Word of the Week resources come from, and they have released these for each age group as a workbook for learning at home. They are VERY reasonably priced at under £5 per book. Let me know what you think if you do purchase one!

Maths

Measures - Capacity

This week, the children will be furthering their understanding of measures by focusing on measuring capacity or volume!

Similarly to weight, children in Year 3 and 4 need to be able to:

• Read numbered and partially numbered scales that are vertical, horizontal and round
• Understand that there are 1000ml in 1 litre and convert between the two
• Add and subtract different amounts of capacity
• Compare and order different amounts of capacity

Practical ideas for using maths in our homes:

Spellings

Suffix -ment

Group 1, 2, 3 Task is a set of domino cards using the suffix -ment. Match the root word to the spelling using the suffix -ment. 

PE

This week, we have been selected to take part in a county-wide, virtual Tri Golf competition! This is a fantastic opportunity for some competitive sport, and staying active during lockdown! 

For this competition the children will need to complete the Tri Golf events, keeping a record of their best scores on their score sheet (this is also in the attached document). To enter the event you will need to click on the entry form link in the document, this is attached below. From here you will input some information so that we know which school you attend and then attach a link to your score sheet. The document contains QR code links to the relevant documents (you might need to use a QR reader app such as Inigma or QR Reader.)

You can also tweet @CGSOutreach when you have submitted your entry (and us as well!) 

PSHE

This week's PSHE session is taken from the Oak National Academy. Follow the link for the children to take part in the lesson.

In today's lesson, the Prime Minister has contracted COVID-19 through shaking hands during his official work. We must step up as his Deputy Prime Minister to lead the country by way of a formal public letter of guidance. The lesson works towards creating leaders - where we must think about how to provide the most relevant information in order that it influences people to act responsibly, collectively, and effectively. This guidance as a leader will help reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, thereby saving lives!
