Rhino Daily Challenge – Writing

Morning,

Today I would like to imagine you are an explorer and you have discovered a new species in a rainforest.

Decide what rainforest you are exploring and then think more about the creature you have discovered. You could actually design a new creature of your own. Below is a design sheet that you could use to help you, there are 3 different versions to choose from.

Design your own animal sheet

Once, you have designed your creature, you can then produce an information text all about it.

Try and use the following features:

Title – name of your page

Sub title – introduction to your page

Sub headings – mini title for each section

Paragraphs – groups of sentences about the same information

Labels or captions – give extra details to pictures or diagrams

As well as general information about your creature, try and include sections on habitat and diet and also try and include an interesting fact!

You can can create these on paper or even use a computer programme such as powerpoint or publisher.

I would love to see your work, so send it in via dojo.

Panda Class Overview of Learning w/c 15th June 2020

Hi Panda Class – I hope you have had a good week.  Our first week back at school went well.

All of the activities below are being done in school and will be fine for work at home too.

Maths – This week in maths in class we are recapping recognising and writing accurately our numbers to 20.
Then, there are a series of Maths Activity sheets which all involve working with numbers to 20 and other aspects of maths.

Maths Activity Mats 15th June

Please aim to complete all the sheets in a week. If your child does not like sitting to complete the work, by all means work practically where possible and use resources to hand to pose similar questions.

Reading – Please aim to read each day with your child. There are resources on Oxford Owls website if you have run out of books.

Phonics – Ruth Miskin’s Read Write Inc work is still being shown on line – the first lesson is at 9:30 am daily, but if you don’t see that one then they are usually available to view at another time. Please review all Set 1, 2 & 3 sounds. The aim is for your child to say the sound when shown and then to be able to have a go at writing the sounds accurately too.

Writing – As we are growing runner beans in school, I thought it would be nice to read the story of Jack and The Beanstalk with the children. The writing activity this week is to use the writing prompt pictures to think of a sentence, rehearse it, say it out loud and write the sentences about the pictures shown.

Jack and the Beanstalk writing activity

Something a bit different…
This week we are going to do a little bit of an experiment, we are going to grow some cress just like Mr Bloom! You can watch how to make his cress-head here
https://childrens-binary.files.bbci.co.uk/childrens-binarystore/cbeebies/cbeebies-pdf-mr_blooms_nursery_cressheads.pdf  
We are going to try growing cress in the shade, the sun, sand, cotton wool and soil. We are going to predict which cress will grow the best and check it each day to find out if we are right!
Have a good week and keep sending in the super work!
Best wishes
Mandy Turner.

Reflection Area

Dear Parents/Carers

You may have noticed that the reflection area has had a lick of paint during lock down. The PTA have kindly paid for this work to be completed, this included replacing posts which had gone rotten at the base and giving it all a coat of paint. This work was completed by Mr Munn, Moorland Handy Man.

We have been lucky enough for the fences around Panda and Nursery classes to have been painted also. I am sure you will agree it looks so much better and will last for years to come.

Regards

Mrs Smith

  

 

 

Year 6 IMPORTANT INFORMATION and dates

Year 6 

I hope you all found this morning’s Zoom session with the Corbet useful and reassuring. It was lovely lovely to have had 100% of you online.

We have revieiwed our numbers and staff and now are able to let you know a date for having year 6 back in school. This will be week beginning 22.6.20 . The year 6 children will be able to come for full days, but potentially only 2 days per week (either Monday and Tuesday or Thursday and Friday). Once you have told your teacher via dojo whether you want your child to return, we will allocate you the sessions. If the numbers are low, we will be able to have the year 6 group in 4 days a week.  We didn’t think we would be able to start year 6s so soon, but due to low numbers of other other year groups, we are happy we are able to this. It was so important for us to spend some time with them, especially now that we know there will be no face to face transition time at the Corbet.

If your child is a year 6 that is already accessing the keyworker group, they will not be able to go between 2 bubbles. Therefore, you will be asked to let us know whether you would like them to spend 2 days (or possibly 4 days in year 6), or up to 5 days in the keyworker bubble.

Year 6 times will be 8:50 – 3:00 You must not arrive before 8:45 or you will overlap with the other bubbles.

ACTION: let your teacher know via dojo that you want your year 6 to return on 22nd June 

Many thanks,

C. Williams

Rhino Daily Challenge – Maths

Morning,

Today’s challenge is all about number.

Try solving these number riddles below. Can you follow the clues to identify the number?

Can you solve at least 3 riddles? Can you solve them all? Can you create a number riddle of your own?

 

 

Rhino Daily Challenge – Writing

Acrostic Poetry

An acrostic poem can be fun to create but also quite thought provoking.

To create an acrostic, follow these four easy steps:
  1. Decide what to write about
  2. Write your chosen word vertically down your page
  3. Write a word or a sentence that starts with one of the vertical letters
  4. Repeat for the rest of the vertical letters until your poem is complete

For today’s challenge, I would like you to have a go at writing an acrostic poem for a sport or sports person of your choice. Try and write sentences for each letter rather just choosing one word. Be creative!

Here is an example for one of my favourite sports:

Basketball
B ounce the ball with your head up
A ccuracy is key to scoring a basket
S hoot if you’re open
K eep your mind on the game
E njoy it while you can
T ake it to the basket
B end knees to shoot with power
A lways use the backboard
L ay up shots should never be missed
L earn to play as a team
Don’t forget to send in your work on dojo. I have lots of merits to give out!!!
