English Activities Term 6 Weeks 5 and 6

Please use the PDF Talk for Writing “Elves” booklet on our webpage for

week 3

In this booklet there are lots of fun activities for you to complete. You may

spend more than one session on some of them so we haven’t added lots of

extra tasks but if you want to do more, here are a few ideas.

Our Topic work is ‘All about me’ so these activities are about you too!

Character

Imagine you are a character in a book. Write a description of yourself, including your

personality. It is easier to write as he / she than I but remember to use plenty of noun

phrases.

E.g She had long, brown hair that she sometimes tied in a ponytail so it didn’t get in the

way when she was climbing trees.

Poetry

Write an acrostic poem about yourself. Write your name neatly down the side then write a sentence or word about yourself on each line (sorry if you have a long name!)

Quiz

Write 5 questions for a quiz about you. Remember your punctuation.

Handwriting

Write 3 sentences about yourself in really neat cursive handwriting. Make the sentences interesting.

Spelling

Look at the list of common exception words. Practice writing your highlighted ones in sentences. The more of these words you can spell in sentences the better

Curriculum Activities Term 6 Week 5 and 6

As we get near to the end of a very strange year at school, we thought it would be nice to

look back on how amazing you are and what you achieved this year as well as looking

forward to next year. Just like in school at the end of term, the projects may be more art

and DT based, but hopefully there are lots of different things that you will enjoy having a go

at.

PE:

You have all been busy keeping fit in lots of ways such as trampolining, cycling, running,

cartwheeling, dancing, dog-walking, throwing, catching, goal scoring…. Well done all of

you! Keep it up but here are a few more ideas to keep you active.

Joe Wicks: Joe Wicks is having a bit of a break but you can still do his routines on a Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Have a go at creating your own routines on the other days.

If you like Trolls, you will love this Go noodle exercise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhfkYzUwYFk

Why don’t you design a mini sports day for your family to do together?

Science 1 – my body

Your body is pretty amazing. Draw an outline of a human body and see if you can label all these parts: eyes, nose, mouth, ears, hands, elbows, shoulders, knees, brain, heart, lungs,

stomach.

(There is a clip on bbc bitesize that might help

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zsjsbk7 )

Extra challenge,

Can you write down what the brain, the heart, the lungs and the stomach are for?

Can you name any bones in your body?

Science 2

See if you can find any photos of you when you were a baby or a toddler. What has changed about you? Can you think of things that you can do now that you couldn’t do then? What do you think you might be able to do in 5 years time? Divide your page into 3 parts and draw a picture (or use a photo) of yourself when you were a baby, now and in the future. Next to each picture write a few things about yourself at that age.

Art

You have achieved a lot this year! Think back to all the things you have learnt to do at school this year in Maths, English, Science, DT, Art and all the other subjects. Now decide something that you are really proud of and design a certificate for yourself! Think about using pictures, posh writing, a border..

This certificate is awarded to……

because….

DT

Looking after your body is really important. This includes eating healthily. Draw or make a model of a healthy meal that you enjoy. You could use lots of different materials such as wool, card and paper or even make it out of playdoh or clay. Maybe you could even help make the real meal to share with your family.

PSHCE

It’s time to celebrate what makes you special! Complete the sheet on the website ‘I am an amazing person’. If you can’t print it, draw a flower and on each petal write something that is special about you such as

I am kind because…., I am a good friend because… I am proud because….

As well as eating healthily, it is really important to look after our teeth. Can you design a poster to help people keep their teeth healthy?

Music

Listen to the song “What I am” by Will.i.am. Decide what words you would say when you sing “What I am is..”. Are you brave? Are you smart? Are you determined? Try singing it through with the words to describe you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyVzjoj96vs

It is a while since we sang this song but listen to ‘Good to be me’ on youtube. Can you remember the actions? Can you use your body to add percussion? You can tap, clap, stamp, flick, click and all

sorts using only your body.

French:

Try learning some French to tell somebody about yourself.

“Je m’appelle …….” means “My name is……..”

“J’ai cinq ans.” means “ I am five.”

“J’ai six ans.” means “I am six.”

“J’ai Sept ans.” means “I am seven.”

Looking ahead

Next year you will be in Year 3 and your new teachers would love to know more about you.

Draw a poster that is all about you! Make sure you draw yourself and write your name but

also draw or write lots of things about yourself. Here are some ideas but you can choose

your own too

Your family

Your pets

Friends

Hobbies

Favourite colour

Favourite TV programme

Favourite book or character for a book

Favourite film

Favourite food

Favourite animal

Favourite sport

Thing you are awesome at!

Keep your picture safe and if we are able to we can share them next year.

See how long you can last throughout a day moving only as a Minifigure can: You can only turn your head side to side, not up and down. You can only raise your arms straight up in front of you and down to your sides. Your hands are now claws and you can't use your fingers normally.
