eResources by Conor Delap https://padlet.com/conordelap/eResources Hopefully these links will be useful to someone during the closures. en-us 2020-03-19 14:19:11 UTC 2026-01-31 16:47:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Covid-19 Closure conordelap https://padlet.com/conordelap/eResources/wish/466360924 Firstly, I hope you are all keeping well.

Once the initial work set runs out, you may wish to access work from some of the links on this page to keep the children going. 
Try to keep a Monday to Friday routine, where possible. Focus your attention on completing 1 or 2 short educational activities per day, morning time is best.
No one expects households to maintain the same progress that could be made at school so use what works best for you and your child(ren).

Please don't feel overwhelmed by the volume of material on this page. It is intended as a support not as an assignment.

Stay safe!]]> 2020-03-19 14:23:53 UTC https://padlet.com/conordelap/eResources/wish/466360924 EDCO conordelap https://padlet.com/conordelap/eResources/wish/466373889 The Educational Company has provided login details to access their eBooks.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwmpfg8

http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/Romans.html

https://www.worldbookonline.com/kids/home#search/romans

 

To learn about materials and their properties, there is plenty on these sites:

https://www.dkfindout.com/uk/science/materials/

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zryycdm

http://www.primaryhomeworkhelp.co.uk/revision/Science/changingmaterials.htm

http://www.primaryresources.co.uk/science/science3a.htm

Then discuss why certain things are made from certain materials (eg. why are tables made from wood? Why are clothes not made from wood? What are clothes made from?)

 

Daedalus & Icarus story (A Greek Myth):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVkwWo_LNZs

Discuss sun safety – why do we wear suncream and hats? How else do we protect ourselves from the sun? After you have mapped your shadow, discuss why the midday shadow is so short in length. Find North, South, East, West.
