Habitats In school we have been learning about living, non living and once lived.  Moving on from this we have been focusing on animals and their habitats.  Your task is to explore your outside space, are there any habitats?  What is living in them? How will you record this so that you can tell your friends back at school about what you found and where you found it? Was the habitat once living, living or never been alive?
The tick sheet below may help you with different habitats to look out for.

These short videos were originally produced to provide primary school pupils with interactive lessons while they were learning at home. Parents or teachers can now use them in school or at home, but it is important that, within each batch, they are set in the suggested order. Most lessons are between 15 to 20 minutes long, each ending with suggested follow-up tasks.

The associated teacher guides below the videos accompany the lessons, and give details of the features of teaching for mastery found in each batch.

PowerPoints of the lessons are also available below the teacher guides. These include the same content as the video lessons, but allow teachers the flexibility to adapt and deliver the lessons themselves as part of their own teaching sequence. Please note - some of the zip files have long names, and will need to be renamed once you have downloaded them before they can be opened.
The video below is the first in a playlist. To see the full list of lessons, click on the three horizontal bars in the top right hand corner.

This term we have been thinking about the big question:
What can we learn from sacred books?
We have thought about what the word sacred means.  We have looked at the holy book for the Christian faith, the Jewish faith and the Islamic faith.  We have listened to stories from them.
Follow the link below and listen to a different story from each faith. Try story 4, story 9 and story 11. What is similar about them and what is different?  Try retelling the stories in different ways through art, poetry or building with lego.
Why do you think these stories are important to the different faiths?

This term we have been revising all phonemes learnt in phases 2,3,4 &5 and we have been paying close attention to the long vowel phonemes: a- ay, a-e, ai
e- ee, ea, e-e, ey
i- ie, i-e, igh
o- oe, o-e,
u- u-e, ue
Looking at the spelling choices when the phoneme sounds the same.
Please practise these when reading and writing.  Use the phonics play link to support this.  Play the dragons den game and select the phoneme you wish to focus on.  After the phonics game, make a list of words to match the phonemes you have worked on.  Practise putting them into a sentence.

Think back to your learning in class when you wrote a persuasive postcard to the limpet persuading it to leave Sally's finger.  This time imagine that you have gone to stay in Mousehole in Cornwall on the 23rd December.  You have walked through the streets and seen all the houses and buildings lit up with tea lights and candles in the window.  You have been to the fish-feast where you have tasted the famous fish pie.  Outside you have heard the cats howling in memory of old Mowzer.  Write a postcard to your friends at school telling them about this wonderful experience, persuading them to come with you next year.
Remember to read back through your postcard checking for full stops, capital letters and lots of descriptive word choices.
