Remember
Dear Diary,
I had the most exciting day of my life today on the Jolley-Roger’s enormous pirate ship. I woke up this morning to boiling hot sunshine and a clear sky. Jim Lad and I had such a fun swim in the sea, we walked the creaky plank and dived down into the rough waves. Jim Lad’s daddy threw us a rope and pulled us up the side of the tall creaky ship. It was exhilarating swinging through the air.
After a lunch of hard tack and fish, Jim and I played a game of ‘Pulling the sails down’ ….Jim was so fast, he beat me every time!! I felt so cross, but I soon cheered up when I remembered that he has lived on a pirate ship for his whole life and so he’d had lots of practice.
In the evening, Jim’s mummy lit a little fire and we snuggled in soft blankets on deck. Squarker the pirate made us all laugh by singing songs called sea shanties, in a loud croaky voice. Mummy told us pirate tales and we drank delicious hot chocolate. Finally, we sleepily climbed into our swinging hammocks…it was such a fun day. I cannot wait to arrive at Scurvy Sands tomorrow morning.

I would like you to describe your trip around the island using some powerful descriptive language.
For example,
I would start my day at Scurvy Sands by tying up my majestic wooden ship against the narrow rickety pier. First of all, I will wander down the quiet pier until I get to the rundown shack at the end of it. I will buy some fiery Pirate Rum to sip slowly before heading to the rusty yellow pedlos for a trip in the briny sea. After my legs have been worn out from all the vigorous pedalling I will head towards the gigantic wooden roller coaster. I will have 3 spine tingling rides before I stumble off to get some well deserved lunch at Pirate Jake’s ‘Salty Sea dog’ food shack…..

THIS LESSON WILL BE SPREAD OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
Continuing from last week………………….We are looking at solving a problem in Design Technology this term. The hungry pirates are struggling with the basket that is being used to send their lunches across between two pirate ships.
Last week we looked at evaluating lunchboxes and I showed you 3 different designs of lunchbox to look at and see which one you thought was the best. I also said that you were able to look at your own different lunchboxes at home instead.
Over the next few weeks you will need to design and make a new lunch box to transport the pirates’ lunch safely from The Golden Mermaid, over the sea and to The Blue Dolphin.
In today’s lesson you will be deciding which types of materials are likely to be most suitable for designing your pirate’s lunchbox.
I would like you to find a range of recycled materials around your house/at school-such as wood, foil, plastic cartons, cardboard boxes and paper.
As you look at the different recycled materials,
I would like you to think about the following questions to help you decide which ones you may want to use for the lunchbox that you will be designing and making over the next few weeks.
-Which materials do you think will be waterproof and why?
-Which materials do you think will be strong and why? How could they be made stronger?
-Which materials might make a strong handle? How could it be made stronger?
-What will help to keep the lunch safe?
You will be starting to think about the lunchbox design criteria (a list of things our product must do to be successful.)
Lunch Box Design Criteria
You have been given an example of a lunchbox design. Can you decide which recycled materials you would like to use for your lunchbox…...make a list…check your spelling!
Draw a picture of 4 different ideas for potential lunchboxes using recycled material and then describe why you have chosen the materials you have next to each one. There is a sheet for you to print off and write on, or you can just draw the grid in your book instead.
Here is an example of a lunchbox design and description.

THIS WORK IS FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY'S LESSONS
Read aloud to ‘Noi was worried that his dad would be angry about having a whale in the bath’
In your book I would like you write down some adjectives to describe how Noi is feeling as his dad gets closer to the house.
I want you to think about whether Noi should tell his dad about the whale…write a sentence or two to tell me why/why not Noi should tell his dad. I want you to explain why you think that.
Read ‘Somehow, Noi kept his secret safe all evening.’ and look at the image of the two having their tea.
Discuss what conversations might they be having? What might they be thinking? Can you role play with a partner-one of you being Noi and one being his father-what conversation might you have whilst eating your tea? Now have a conversation about what you are both thinking not saying...how are the conversations different?
Read on to ‘He even managed to sneak some supper for his whale.’
I would like you to think about whether Noi should tell his dad about the whale…discuss with an adult, or jot down some reasons for and against Noi telling his dad.
You are then going to write a short note to Noi, giving him some advice as to whether he should tell his daddy. I have written an example below.
When you have finished it, check with your checklist that you have included everything, and edit your work with purple pen to show your changes.
Remember
1.Think of at least 2 or 3 reasons why Noi should/shouldn’t tell his father.
2.Use language to persuade Noi-emotive words, such as ‘terrible fright’, ‘poor whale.’
3. Time conjunctions, such as firstly, secondly and finally.
4. Punctuation such as capital letters, full stops and exclamation marks
Dear Noi,
I think you should tell your daddy that you have a whale in the bath,
The reason I think this is firstly, because your daddy might notice when he goes into the bathroom for a bath and it would give him a terrible fright!!!
Secondly, the poor whale is going to begin to get too big soon and might find that it gets wedged in the bath and finally, the little whale’s mummy will be heartbroken without her and your daddy might be able to help release the whale back into the sea to find her.
Please think about what I said. Your daddy is a kind man, and he would not want you to worry. He would want to help you.

I would like you to read aloud from the beginning to where Noi is running towards the whale, stopping at ‘It was a little whale washed up on the sand’.
How do you think Noi felt as he realised what was there and as he got closer and closer to the whale.?
Write some words in your book to describe Noi’s emotions.
L.I. I can use powerful adjectives to describe Noi’s emotions. You might want to use a thesaurus to help you think of some powerful adjectives.
Create stepping stones with (paper or real) pebbles to depict the escalation in emotion from the first moment Noi spotted something to realising it was a whale to kneeling beside it. Read on to ‘I must be quick’. What is the emotion Noi is left with?
Write those emotions onto your stepping stone and arrange them to show how he is feeling at various stages of his find.

THIS LESSON WILL BE SPREAD OVER THE NEXT TWO WEEKS
We are looking at solving a problem in Design Technology this term. The hungry pirates are struggling with the basket that is being used to send their lunches across between two pirate ships.
Last week we looked at evaluating lunchboxes and I showed you 3 different designs of lunchbox to look at and see which one you thought was the best. I also said that you were able to look at your own different lunchboxes at home instead.
Over the next few weeks you will need to design and make a new lunch box to transport the pirates’ lunch safely from The Golden Mermaid, over the sea and to The Blue Dolphin.
In today’s lesson you will be deciding which types of materials are likely to be most suitable for designing your pirate’s lunchbox.
I would like you to find a range of recycled materials around your house/at school-such as wood, foil, plastic cartons, cardboard boxes and paper.
As you look at the different recycled materials,
I would like you to think about the following questions to help you decide which ones you may want to use for the lunchbox that you will be designing and making over the next few weeks.
-Which materials do you think will be waterproof and why?
-Which materials do you think will be strong and why? How could they be made stronger?
-Which materials might make a strong handle? How could it be made stronger?
-What will help to keep the lunch safe?
You will be starting to think about the lunchbox design criteria (a list of things our product must do to be successful.)
Lunch Box Design Criteria
You have been given an example of a lunchbox design. Can you decide which recycled materials you would like to use for your lunchbox…...make a list…check your spelling!
Draw a picture of 4 different ideas for potential lunchboxes using recycled material and then describe why you have chosen the materials you have next to each one. There is a sheet for you to print off and write on, or you can just draw the grid in your book instead.
Here is an example of a lunchbox design and description.
Approx 60 mins
PE
Why don’t you get out in the garden-kick a ball in the garden play with a bat and ball. Can you design your own game or could you make an obstacle course or go for a bike ride? Maybe you would like to ride your bike or scoot? If you can’t get into your garden/outside today then look at Joe Wicks/Les Mills/Go Noodle/Cosmic Yoga.
This should take you approx. 60 minutes.

Today I would like you to look at the picture of the morning after the storm. …
Write some words, phrases or sentence to describe what you see in this picture (please ignore the accidental shadow!)
How does it compare to your illustration of the night of the storm?
You could listen to the first part of Britten’s first ‘Sea Interlude, Dawn’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTd2aXLTA84 (at 0:00 in the clip)
and watch this clip on ‘YouTube’ to help give you some inspiration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6QiuDY7GGc
When you have written your ideas, can you do similar to your storm poem---can you organise your ideas…write each individual idea on a strip of paper. Then organise the strips to make a poem…read it aloud, do you want to change the order to make it sound even more powerful?
For example,
Calm and quiet
Sea lapping gently on to the shore
Stillness
Birds calling a new day
Now can you practise performing your poetry with the two verses? The storm and the calm after the storm. Maybe you could get someone to video you performing your work?

RE: KQ: What stories do Jewish people remember and celebrate at Passover?
What food do you like to eat on special occasions? Do you have turkey at Christmas? Hot cross buns at Easter? Is Sunday always a roast dinner day?
Sarah and Aaron’s Bubbe has come round for tea and brought a special plate with her and some interesting food.
The plate is called a Seder plate and is used in Jewish families to celebrate Passover. Each of the foods that is put on the plate is a reminder of the story of Moses when he led the people out of Egypt.
These are:
Bitter herbs – These remind the them that the lives of the Israelites were full of bitter suffering
Parsley dipped in salt water – this reminds them that the Israelites cried tears
Roasted lamb shank and hard boiled egg – Reminders of the offerings made by the Jewish people in the temple
At the Passover meal, Matzos are eaten to remind them that the Israelites left in such a hurry that the bread did not have time to rise – this is unleavened bread (like pitta)
Wine is also served – or grape juice for younger children.
Draw out a plate with these food on it and annotate it to explain why they are there.
Create a pate for you to remind you of Easter or Christmas – which foods would you choose and why?
If you have time and want to, you could watch this video clip of a Jewish family preparing for Passover.

Hello Class 2. I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and are all refreshed and ready for your next week of learning! Here is your learning for
Monday 15th June.
Spelling and handwriting
Today we are going to focus on our handwriting. I would like you to go to www.ictgames.com and go on to English. There is a game called ‘Sky writing.’ Can you choose a letter that you find tricky to write, tick on the button that says ‘cursive’ and the plane will then demonstrate how to write the letter. On a piece of piece/using a whiteboard can you then practise writing that letter in the way that you were shown-write it in large letters/small letters/rainbow letters/ in sand etc. When you have finished one letter, please choose a different letter to write.
Approx 20-30 mins
English
I would like you to read the line aloud
‘One night, a great storm had raged around their house.’
Think about what you imagine in your mind when you read this.
On a whiteboard/in your book can you write down words for phrases that show you how great the storm is.
You could always look at this footage of storms to help add some ideas to your imagination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kL_Pz0-V2UQc
After you have watched this, I would like you to listen to this piece of music
(listen from 12:00 minutes) This is Benjamin Britten’s storm interlude of the ‘Four Sea Interludes’ from his opera Peter Grime. Think about the mood and atmosphere: of the music-how does it make you feel?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTd2aXLTA84 [from 12:00 minutes].
Write down some more ideas for describing the storm in your book/on a whiteboard.
Now can you draw a storm using the phrase, pictures and music to give you inspiration. If you have some dark paper it may look great on there, or alternatively, maybe you could make a collage of the storm.
When you have made your piece of art, I would like you to annotate it using sentences that add detail and description-using powerful verbs, adjectives and adverbs.
For example, The thunderous waves smashed heavily on the defenceless shore.
Can you find a piece of blue fabric at home-a pillow case/towel or even a jumper? Listen to the music again (from 12 minutes) and move to the music as though you are the great storm moving around Noi’s house.
Now can you organise your ideas…write each individual idea on a strip of paper. Then organise the strips to make a poem…read it aloud, do you want to change the order to make it sound even more powerful?
For example,
Raging, crashing waves
Howling wind rattling the wooden windows
Powerful sea charging up the beach
A deafening roar of waves like an express train.. .
Keep safe ready for tomorrow’s lesson….if you run out of time in today’s lesson, don’t worry…you can continue with it tomorrow.

Our topic this term is Plants.
If possible, I would like you to check on the seeds that you planted last week. If the seeds have started to sprout, can you measure them with a ruler? I will attach an example of a recording sheet that you may like to copy into your book.
First of all, I would like you to look at the powerpoint about ‘The lifecyle of plants.’ This will give information that would be useful when thinking about how plants grow and live.
There is a video as part of the powerpoint which tells you how we know that a plant is living. Here is the link again https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zyvs34j
There is also a PDF version of the powerpoint.
When you have finished the video can you pretend to be a sunflower and follow the lifecycle as it grows.
When you have done that, can you draw and describe the life cycle of a sunflower? You can print out the sheet shown below, or you could draw similar in your books, or better, you can present the information in any way you want to –describing each stage of the sunflower life cyle.

English today will be continued from yesterday’s session.
Firstly, I would like you to look at the illustration (picture) of Noi eating his breakfast and his father collecting his coat.
What do you notice about the illustration?
What do you like and dislike about what you see?
Does it remind you of anything in real life or stories?
Do you have any questions about it? If so, write them down in your book.
Does anything puzzle you?
How does this picture add to or change what you thought before?
Now look at the picture underneath of Noi looking out of the window….you can find this in the PDF of the book.
Can you show your parents/siblings the expressions that may be on Noi and his father’s faces using your own face?
Why do you think Noi and his father feel like this?
Read this part of the story
‘Every day, Noi’s dad left early for a long day’s work on his fishing boat. He wouldn’t be home again till dark.’
How do you think this makes Noi feel? Can you explain why? Can you show this using drama? What might Noi say to his father?
How do you think Noi’s father feels having to leave Noi all day? Can you show how he might feel? What might they both be thinking?
Can you draw a picture of Noi and a picture of his father and use a speech bubble to for each of them to show what they might say? Or you could draw a picture and then use inverted commas (speech marks) to write what they are thinking instead.
Can you then write a diary entry as though you are Noi describing his day?
Dear diary,
Today was another lonely day on the quiet island. Daddy left for work very early this morning, I was still eating my breakfast when he left. I did wave at the window, but sadly, he didn’t notice.
I spent the morning playing hide and seek with the cats. Spotty and Ginger are so good at hiding! Spotty hid inside my sandy bucket and Ginger sneaked into my messy bedroom and lay under my bed. The cats are fun, but I do wish that daddy was here to play games with instead.
This afternoon there was a fierce wind whistling across the island and the waves were smashing against the sandy shore. I decided to go for a walk, but the sand was blown in my face and felt gritty in my mouth. Yuck! So I came home, and played with my Lego whilst waiting for daddy to arrive back from fishing.
It was dark outside and nearly my bedtime when he arrived home tired and hungry. He was too tired to play with Lego and instead fell asleep in the soft armchair. Maybe he will spend some time with me tomorrow, I hate being by myself.
This will take approx. 60 minutes.
AoW
Can you look at the bottom of the class pages area and you will find the icon for Act of Worship. If you click on the icon you will find some ideas for our daily Act of Worship. Why don’t you have a go at one of them? You may enjoy writing a prayer.

Approx 60 mins.
D.T.
We are looking at solving a problem in Design Technology this term. The hungry pirates are struggling with the basket that is being used to send their lunches across between two pirate ships.
In today’s lesson you will be evaluating the positives and negatives of different lunch boxes.
I am going to show you a picture of three different boxes for you to evaluate, but if you have got 3 different boxes at home, that would be even better as you would then be able to touch/open and close them, which would help you decide which is the best one for the job of holding lunch.
You can read the powerpoint which may help you.
You do not need to print out the ‘Evaluating lunch boxes’ sheet, you could just write the answers in your book or on a piece of paper instead.
PE
Why don’t you get out in the garden-kick a ball in the garden play with a bat and ball. Can you design your own game or could you make an obstacle course or go for a bike ride? If you can’t get into your garden/outside today then look at Joe Wicks/Les Mills/Go Noodle/Cosmic Yoga.

RE: Think back to last week and the story of Moses and the burning bush and the plagues. Today’s Key question:
What helps Jews to remember and celebrate Moses?
is all about what happened after God sent those plagues down on the Egyptians.
Moses led the Israelites to the Red Sea. Pharaoh changed his mind after letting them go and sent his men to chase after them and bring them back. At the bank of the Red Sea, Moses parted the waters so that they could cross and then as they passed through the waters closed up behind them and the Egyptian soldiers were killed. – You could read about this in Exodus 14
Read Exodus 20: 1 – 17 – this is where Moses is given the Ten Commandments. These are very important to Jews. They have them written on a tiny scroll and placed inside a Mezuzah which they touch each time they enter their house.
What rules do you have in your life that are precious enough to want to remember them every day? Do you have rules at home? Do you have rules for the way that you live your life?
Write out your important rules for living on a piece of paper and then roll it up into a tiny scroll. Could you make a decorated cover for your rules – perhaps using a toilet roll tube.
Where would you put it in your house so that you could touch it whenever you enter.

Back in the Spring term we started our Fractions topic…children should now be familiar with the terms-halves, thirds and quarters, as well as numerators and denominator. They should also know how to write these terms.
Over the next week or two they will be recapping counting in halves, thirds and quarters, as well as learning how to find parts of a set and parts of a quantity. BBC Bitesize have some great videos about fractions if your child needs a reminder, as well as ictgames.
We will be recapping ‘Naming Fractions’ today.

Our topic this term is Plants.
First of all, I would like you to look at the powerpoint about ‘Seeds and Bulbs.’ This will give you information that would be useful when thinking about how seeds and bulbs grow.
Then if possible, I would like you to plant seeds in different environments and make predictions about what you think would happen to them. There is a sheet for you to print out and write on, or you could just draw the information in your book instead.
Do not worry if you cannot carry out this experiment today. Instead you may like to watch this video on BBC Bitesize and make short notes about the conditions needed for plants to grow well. You could also draw and label a diagram to show what a plant needs to grow.

RE:
KQ: What helps Jewish people remember and celebrate Moses?
If you can look at the You tube clip:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYD9UFoJi_8
Or look the story up in the Bible in the book of Exodus
Exodus 7 14-24 and Exodus 3.
Think about these questions:
1. What do you like about this part of the Moses story? What is special about it?
2. Why did Moses take off his shoes?
3. Why did Moses not want to go back to Egypt? Do you sometimes have to do things you don’t want to?
4. What helps you to feel brave and confident?
Aaron and Sarah like the story of Moses, Sarah likes the part about Moses as a baby, but Aaron likes the part where Moses leads the people to safety. He likes this story because he says it shows that Moses was not always confident, but he trusted in God and was able to lead the people with his guidance. He likes that Moses was afraid at times too.
Think about question 4. Can you make a burning bush picture / model? On the flames write the things that help you to feel brave and confidentHello Class 2. I hope you have all had a relaxing half term and are all refreshed and ready for your next few weeks of learning. Here is your learning for
Monday 1ST June.
We are going to have fun with our new topic ‘Beside the seaside’ this term. Hopefully, you will get the chance to pop down to the sea for a visit and a splash in the water at some point soon.
Spelling and handwriting
Today we are going to focus on our handwriting. I would like you to go to www.ictgames.com and go on to English. There is a game called ‘Sky writing.’ Can you choose a letter that you find tricky to write, tick on the button that says ‘cursive’ and the plane will then demonstrate how to write the letter. On a piece of piece/using a whiteboard can you then practise writing that letter in the way that you were shown-write it in large letters/small letters/rainbow letters/ in sand etc. When you have finished one letter, please choose a different letter to write.
Approx 20-30 mins
English
Today I would like you to write a recount of your half term. Remember that you are in writing about something that has already happened, in the past tense. Remember that regular verbs in the past tense end in –ed, and in irregular verbs the actual verb changes.
For example,
I had an enjoyable half term. The weather was lovely so I went to the wonderful beach. The sparkling blue sea shimmered and I swam and rowed on my shiny red kayak. I also drank a cup of tea, that was made in my green striped beach hut. My children jumped and splashed in the waves. We ate fish and chips and looked out at the tranquil sea.

The first letter of each line spells out the poem’s theme vertically – what’s this one about?
Springtime casts a spell of green
Paints flowers opening to the sun.
Rain falls softly, saying ‘wake’,
In a fresh world just begun.
New leaves and buds, birds and lambs,
Grow and burst, hatch and run.
Gigantic flames
Remember 1666
Every child knows
Ash floated everywhere
Thousands of homes destroyed
Flames all around
Inside the bakery
Red sky
Everything covered in soot
Over the city
From house to house
Lots of people escaped
On foot, by boat and carriage
Nearly every house
Demolished
On Pudding Lane – Help! Help! But
Not many people died.
