Home Learning Monday 4th May
Monday 4th May:
Morning Team Sky and Team Ocean! May the fourth be with you!
We hope you had a lovely weekend and are ready for a fabulous week of home learning. We are so proud of every single one of you, you are all working exceptionally hard. We know it can be difficult working at home, but remember this is not forever. Keep smiling, spread positivity and be kind.
Theo wanted to share something him and his dad have been working on since last year! I know it put a few smiles on the faces of the children working with me at school last week. Maybe you could take a look after some learning today? https://youtu.be/WpCITpWcsNE
Playlist: This week we have chosen Bob Marley. A lot of you have previously said Bob Marley’s music is calming and makes you feel relaxed. We thought, with the bank holiday coming up, this would be a nice chilled out treat for you all.
Robert Nesta Marley, (6 February 1945 – 11 May 1981) was a Jamaican singer, songwriter and musician. Considered one of the pioneers of reggae, his musical career was marked by fusing elements of reggae, ska, and rocksteady, as well as his distinctive vocal and songwriting style.
Fact of the day: The goosy security – Geese are used as security guards in a prison in Brazil! How cool is that?
Morning Journal: What was your favourite part of the weekend and why? My favourite part was making some yummy fudge! I know Miss Davey made some too. I enjoyed eating some, whilst watching Spiderman!
Feelings: What colour are you on this morning? I’m feeling very lucky and positive this morning. I came across this poem and it made me realise, we need to stay strong and keep going!
Guided Reading: Can you predict what you think will happen in this story? Does the title or front cover give you any clues?
English:
After listening to the story, we would like you to retell the story from Stubby’s point of view.
How would Stubby be feeling at different points in the story?
How does he feel when he smells the food?
What is it like marching beside a soldier?
- Remember YOU are stubby.
- Remember to write in first person (I)
- Remember to use adventurous adjective and exciting sentence openers!
Here is an example of how I might start mine;
As the delightful smell of fresh sausages flew gracefully past my nose, I just knew it was going to be a great day. I headed straight towards my favourite spot, in hope for a delicious meal.
Maths:
MOS: Search around your house for 2D shapes. Remember these are flat shapes! I made a tally chart of the shapes I could see 😊
Task: Today we will be recapping our learning on 2D shapes. Remember 2D shapes are flat and have the properties of sides and corners. For example, a square has 4 sides and 4 corners writing the properties of 2D shapes!
1) First of all lets warm our brains up by focussing on just counting the number of sides. Remember these might be curved or straight! Take a look at the sheet attached to count the sides of 2D shapes.
2) Now let’s have a go at counting the sides and corners of shapes! Take a look at the sheet attached to write the properties of sides and corners – pick your own challenge from the selection.
Topic: Who was Emmeline Pankhurst?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zmjpscw
Watch the first short animation on the link to learn more about the life of Emmeline Pankhurst.
Emmeline Pankhurst was born on 14 July 1858 in Moss Side, Manchester. Her family were very wealthy and her parents were both politically active.
As she grew older, Emmeline noticed that women were treated differently to men and became motivated to help change that. In 1903 she, along with her daughters Sylvia and Christabel, founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU).
Emmeline Pankhurst is remembered for her hard work with the WSPU in the fight to help get British women the right to vote.
Women's Social and Political Union
The WSPU was a group led by Emmeline Pankhurst. Their aim was to gain equal voting rights for women. Emmeline gave speeches encouraging women to take action in order to achieve this goal.
Controversy
The WSPU, at the time, became known as a 'radical party' , which means they used extreme methods in order to get their message heard. Because these methods were sometimes violent, WSPU members became the first women labelled as 'suffragettes' . Members were known to smash windows, damage public property and even start fires. This got many women in trouble with the police and some even sentenced to time in prison, where they were treated very badly. When the stories of bad treatment reached the newspapers, it actually helped to increase support for the suffragette movement.
The war years
In 1914 the First World War began. Emmeline Pankhurst encouraged WSPU members to put their demonstrations on hold, in order to focus on the war effort. Emmeline asked women to take up roles in factories in support of the men fighting. In response, the government released all WSPU prisoners. When the war ended in 1918, the Representation of the People Act was introduced, giving women over the age of 30 who owned property the right to vote.
Later life
Although Emmeline lived to see some women gain the right to vote, she died on 14 June 1928, just a few weeks before a law was passed giving all women over 21 years of age the right to vote.
Watch the second clip from CBBC Horrible Histories to learn more about the Suffragettes.
