Imagine you are a zoo keeper and you are making a new zoo so all the children can see the animals. Can you design a new home for an animal? You will need to think about its habitat in the wild. A habitat is the place where an animal lives and includes the other plants and animals that live there, along with the water, weather and soil. Draw the animal in the home you have designed and label all the features, e.g. a pond for a frog to swim, flies for it to eat, a fresh stream for it to drink, mud for it to sleep in. If you can, research in books or the internet facts about the animal.

Dear Adventurers,
Today we start a new adventure together as we learn how to work as a team to carry on learning while we cannot be at school! Below you will find my plan for you for this week and any resources you might need. The videos will be found in our Adventurers section of the Video Resource Centre (https://east-meon-ce-primary-school.primarysite.media/playlist/adventurers).
Please, please, please just try your best and you can email me at any time (stephaniet@eastmeonprimary.co.uk) if you're stuck, or having problems of any kind and I will do my best to help you out. DO NOT feel bad if some days you don't get everything done or you have other things to do as these are difficult times and we are all just doing our best! You need to complete the tasks in the order of the sessions as they build on each other but you do not have to stick to the prescribed days so if you want to have a 'mathsy' day and do more than 1 maths session, that is absolutely fine! If anyone needs a work book to record their work in then please let me know and I'll do my best to get one to you as soon as I can!
There is also a Reading Bingo challenge for you to work through over the next half term. There are certificates for anyone who manages a full house!
I am looking forward to seeing the work you are most proud of, so if you find something tricky but persevere to get the hang of it or if you really enjoy a particular task and feel you've created something awesome then please ask your grown-ups to take a photo of it or record a video of you sharing your work to send to me!
If you listened to my earlier message (scroll down if you haven't!) then you'll know I'm tracking house points at home and will be awarding them for all the work you tell me about! Let me know how you get on!!
Lots of love to you all,
Stay safe,
Mrs Perkins

Easter Activities Week 2
I hope you all managed to have a good Easter weekend! Here are some ideas for you to have a go at this week…
Missing you all, Mrs Perkins
This week’s subject focus is…Holiday fun!! |
||||
Monday: Write a recount about your Easter Day. Try to use time words like First, Next and Then to order the events of the day.
|
Tuesday: Draw a picture of any Easter eggs that you received.
Can you write about which was your favourite and why? |
Wednesday: Write a story about the Easter Bunny on a big adventure.
It’s a good idea to draw a simple plan of what will happen in your story before you begin writing. Draw a picture for each part. |
Thursday: Go for a walk or hunt around your house. Write down all the numbers that you can spot. Then try grouping them, perhaps by odd and even, or by how many tens in them, or how many digits. You could even try adding some of them together to practice your addition |
Friday: Have a look at the video resource centre on the school website (it’s under Learning Spaces) Choose one of Mrs Smith’s craft videos to have a go at! |
