Religion Role Play

Today in Religion we looked at the bible story; Noah’s Ark.

We reflected on what we already knew about this bible story. Below you will see students thoughts and ideas.

Will: The people didn’t believe that God was going to make it flood for 40 days, so Noah made an ark – God told Noah. The people drowned for not believing God.

Eliana: God was going to make a flood, but the people didn’t believe in God. SO Noah made an ark so him and his friends wouldn’t drown. Noah and his family believed in God and accepted God.

Ayan: God told Noah to a little village, he went to another one.

Nicole: He was trying to tell people that there was going to be a flood, but people didn’t believe him until it started and then people believed him.

JK: Noah tried to help the people but they didn’t listen.

Hannah K: Noah obey’s God.

Raavi: After the flood was over, he made an arch to sacrifice  himself for the world and everything that was living.

Together we then watched a story about Noah’s Ark.

 

We then spent some time discussing the qualities Noah had.

Kind – Paris

Teamwork & Bravery – Raavi

Helping people & being nice – Nicole

Leadership and being a good leader – Will

Being kind and helpful – Eliana

Listening to and obeying God – Ayan

Students then additionally spent some time role playing the story of Noah’s ark. They did a fantastic job, and you will see photographs of their role play’s below.

   

We know all about time!!

This term in Mathematics we are beginning to explore time, and the concepts of time. We have been looking at growing our brains to tell time to the half-hour. Students have started exploring time on an analogue clock, as well as have started to construct their own clocks.

 

Below you will see some photographs of our exploration with analogue clocks today!

 

 

Wednesday 28th July: Suggested Learning

Welcome to WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY!

Good Morning and welcome back to learning at school for the majority of us. For those who are working on their learning at home we have some learning tasks that you may complete that will be similar to what we do at school!

We are thinking of you all and we miss being in the classroom with you but we look forward to being back together again soon.

Please remember that during this time, your engagement in learning is wonderful to see but your wellbeing is our priority. Take your time completing the below learning tasks and do your best with the resources you have available at home. Don’t forget to share your learning via email or blog reply.

Let’s start our day with a song!

Sound of the Week

Let’s recap the sound of the week – ie.

Follow the video below and sound out each word that has the -ie digraph.

‘ie’ Words | Phonics Phase 3

 

Reading

Please spend 5-10 minutes reading one of your levelled reader books if you have them with you. Otherwise, please enjoy the following audiobook below:

Literacy

For literacy today, continue on the book you have been working on this week. Don’t forget all the things we talk about at school during bookmaking time – writing in full sentences, adding a title, author and picture on the front cover and adding words and drawings to each page in your book.

Recess

Switch off your devices and enjoy a break – have a good snack and chat with your family.

Numeracy

Let’s warm up our brains and sing along to this song about time!

We have been learning a lot about clock and time! Have a watch of the video below.

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eGkW3Jnthl

Have a think, what does a clock look like?  Think about the following; the hands, the  digits, what a minute is, what an hour is, etc.

Task – Creating a clock

Students make their own clock using coloured paper, paper plates and split pins. Students annotate their clocks (write minute on the large hand and hour on the small hand).

Play Investigations

For play investigations today, you can choose what activity to do. It could be:

Creating out of lego/blocks

Making a shop

Working on a puzzle

Relaxing to a quiet drawing

Lunch

Switch off your devices and enjoy a break – have a good lunch break and chat with your family.

Health

This activity can be done in a large space with PE equipment hoops or anything similar.

Stand inside your hoop, then lift your hoop above your heads and gently bring it down to the ground. The area inside your hoop is your personal space and no-one may enter your personal space.

Hold your hoop carefully at waist height and walk around the room, without touching anything. This demonstrates respecting everyone’s personal space.

Questions to think about:

  • How might someone know that there is someone else in their personal space? (Responses could include: uncomfortable feelings; feeling crowded; someone touching your body.)
  • What might someone do if they felt a person was in their personal space? (Responses could include: ask the person to move away; please move away; tell someone in their network.)

Fitness

Keeping active is one of the best ways we can take care of ourselves! If possible, you might like to go outside and play, visit the PE Blog for activities, or follow the yoga video below.

We’re Going on a Bear Hunt | A Cosmic Kids Yoga Adventure!

Enjoy the rest of your day at home and don’t forget to share any learning via email or the blog.
