Here is the plan for the last week of term. Have a great week. This week we are thinking about the Paper Bag Princess, and dragons!
Phonics: Practise as many sounds as you can. Keep trying these all summer long. Don’t forget to use these sounds in your reading and your writing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1mWqsLR3faA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QwrkowksKk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPW-ZkhRUPY&t=7s
Art: You will need: some paper, some pens or pencils, your imagination. Try making some art from just a doodle or a scribble. Make sure you draw lots of loop and whirls. Watch this for some ideas to get started: https://www.firefliesandmudpies.com/scribble-art/
Wellbeing: Take a calming trip with Cracker the Dragon. Make a space to stretch and relax: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NWzS2xziI4
Music: Don’t forget to keep checking Miss Middleton’s amazing music site on the blog. Try some body percussion. Practise this one, then make up your own body percussion beats, what sounds can you make just using your own body? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW2DY1OpgrI
Science: Are dragons real? Can you find anything in the real world that is named after a dragon? Animals? Fruits or vegetables? Buildings? Why do think these things are named after dragons? What features do they have? Here is something to start you off: http://www.bbc.co.uk/earth/story/20150426-ten-amazing-real-life-dragons Perhaps you could try making a foaming dragon https://thejoysofboys.com/foaming-dragon-science-experiment/
History: The Paper Bag Princess lived in a castle. Find some information about castles here. Try drawing a plan of a castle you design. Or plan a meal for a Princess. https://www.english-heritage.org.uk/members-area/kids/guide-to-castles/
Computing: Remember your typing skills from last week? Keep playing these games to get better and better. https://www.typing.com/student/games
English: The Paper Bag Princess. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0lNFZtpq7A&t=8s
Can you still be a Princess if you are wearing a paper bag? How can you tell if someone is a Prince or a Princess?
What sort of Prince or Princess would you be? Where would you live? What would you eat? What would you do all day? What special powers would you have? Write down your ideas, and draw and label a picture to explain them.
Do you know any other books or stories that are like The Paper Bag Princess?
Maths: 2D and 3D Shapes. https://www.topmarks.co.uk/ordering-and-sequencing/shape-patterns Can you recognise and name shapes? What are the features of each shape? Here are some words you might need: Sides, corners, vertices, edges, point, faces. We set a maths activity on the blog each day. Please check them out!
