Let's get creative! Have you noticed leaves have changed colour? What colour are they? That's because we are now in the season of Autumn! I want you to watch this video and join in drawing the different types of leaves and colour them in Autumn colours (red, yellow, orange) .

Rock Families L.O. Can I explore different types of rock families and carry out simple, practical activities? There are three main types of rocks: igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic. Watch the video here: www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z9bbkqt/articles/zsgkdmn Igneous rocks are formed when magma cools on the Earth's surface. Watch the video below that shows the rock cycle. You are learning HOW igneous rock is formed NOT how to melt chocolate. We were going to make sedimentary sandwiches and igneous rocks in class but due to us self-isolating we are unable to do this! The instructions are attached below and it would be great if you and a grown up can have a go at each one so you can see how rocks are formed. If you can do the experiments then please take pictures and send them to us!
ROCK SONG! Watch the rock song. Write a definition of all 3 types of rocks. Finally, either write down how each rock is formed or explain it to a grown up at home.
Have fun! Last Friday, the Science lesson in 3C was interrupted and we didn't get to complete our activities. We are going to start this week's lesson by finishing off that lesson. You will need to ask a grown up at home if they can help you get some of the resources you need. Rocks for dinner L.O. Can I collect and record data from observations and tests? Task 1 What kind of things are used to make a meal? For example, pots and pans. Make a list using the sheet attached. Which of these items do you think come from rocks? Fill in the second part of your sheet. If you're not sure, simply put 'not sure' next to the item. What about plastic? Plastic comes from oil. Oil is formed between layers of rocks from dead plants and animals. So, what do you think? We also eat rocks! Or rather, the minerals that rocks are made of. Task 2 Have a look at the food labels on some of the food you have at home (e.g. breakfast cereal, flour, bread, toothpaste, tinned and packet foods, bottled water and fizzy drinks). Your task is to decide which foods/ drinks contain minerals/ rocks. Use the internet to help you if you're not sure! Task 3 - Consolidation Lots of paper and cardboard is used in packaging. Most paper contains some clay - the glossier the paper, the more clay it contains! Cereal packets also contain clay to give them weight and make them easy to print on. If you can, weigh a magazine. Then, fold a newspaper so it is the same size and thickness and weigh it. Why do you think there might be a difference?
This is the maths for group 2 for today! You need to watch the 'Add by making 10' video and then complete the activity below. Click on the link below to watch the video: https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-2/week-6-number-addition-subtraction/ Now complete the activity: This is the maths for group 1 for today! You need to watch the ' Compare number bonds ' video and then complete the activity below. Click on the link below to watch the video: whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-1/week-6-number-addition-subtraction/ Now complete the activity: L.O. Can I subtract numbers with up to 3 digits using a formal written method? Watch the video below and then have a go at the chilli challenge! 3-Digit Subtraction: Regroup Hundreds and Tens Look at the picture of the 'Chilli Challenge'. Group 3 - Start with the 'Mild' questions. Group 4 - Start with the 'Mild' questions and then move on to 'Spicy'. Group 5 - Start with the 'Spicy' and then move on to 'Extra Hot'. Remember to lay out your sums in a column with HTO as we did in class last week. L.O. Can I use alliteration? What is a noun? A noun is a word for the name of something (a person, place or thing). Re-read part of Stone Age Boy where he enters the cave. Questions to think about: -How might he feel when he is there? -How would he respond? -Why do you think the author described the place as special? -Why did Om take him there? Think back to when he described the caves. We are going to be using alliteration today. Do you know what it is and why it is used? Then, suddenly, swoosh! their spears... Slowly, slowly... Down, down, down... Alliteration adds interest to the story and helps words to slide off the tongue. Think of some of our stone age vocabulary. What adjectives could we add that start with the same letter to make it more interesting? Examples: The big , brown bear scared the boy. The boy woke up in the dark, dangerous cave. Activity: What alliterative phrases could we write about Om and the boy when they are in the cave? Write your favourite alliteration within a sentence. Not all the words in the sentence need to begin with the same letter. Example: They were fascinated by the fantastic features of the cave. Om was in awe of how big and brave the boy was behaving. Now it's your turn! Open the document below. Read the sentences and choose a word from the witch's list that means the same as the word in bold.
L.O. Can I recognise the part that archaeologists have had in helping us understand more about what happened in the past and study objects from the past to find out about people and places? STICKY KNOWLEDGE List some differences between Manchester and Lytham St Annes. What was life like in the Stone Age? This is the enquiry question we have been working on this half-term. What did you learn? What do you remember? Comment on the post. Archaeologists Archaeologists study the past. They look at remains people leave behind in the ground to discover how they lived. Archaeologists are like detectives: they observe facts to discover clues about the person who once owned it. By piecing together the clues, archaeologists can answer questions about how past civilisations lived. Watch the video below. What does an archaeologist need to do their job? Look at the picture below and consider what each item would be used for. Watch the video below. Flint was used for all sorts of different purposes because it was hard and sharp. When an archaeologist examines flint artefacts, they can tell which task each flint was used for, even though they are all made from the same material. When a site is excavated, a team of archaeologists work out what each object was for so they can understand what people in the past were doing. Now it's your turn! You're going to be archaeologists and you need to look at the flint sorting activity and see if you can figure out what each piece of the flint was used for.
