Good morning, Badgers!

Riddle of the day – What is seen in the middle of March and April that can't be seen at the beginning or end of either month?

Fun fact of the day – In a study by the University of Chicago in 1907, it was concluded that the easiest colour to spot is yellow. This is why John Hertz, who is the founder of the

Yellow Cab Company, picked yellow to be the colour of his taxis.

Round 1:

Round 2:

SpellingsSpend 15 minutes practicing your spellings.

Spellings ideas:

• Acrostic poem – Chose a spelling and write an acrostic poem for that word.

• Quick write – Write the word as many times as you can within a time limit.

Lunch Time Lunch time challenge!

This week we will be celebrating World Music Day (on 21st June 2020). This week we would like you to create your own musical instrument or piece of music. This could be something that you make and you can play or you could create a piece of music by using DJ equipment or an instrument you already play.

• Monday: Planning – Begin thinking about which place you are going to base your model’s design on. Is it something you have played before? Is it something you have heard before?? Today is a great day to start planning – you might want to sketch your plan and annotate it with all your amazing ideas.

• Tuesday: Gathering materials – Before you can get hands on and actually start making your model, you will need to think carefully about the materials you will need to make it a success. Label the materials you need on your plan although remember, you may have to compromise as resources may be limited! Try to be inventive with this – are there materials lying unused around the house that you could use or recycle any old food packaging to make your masterpiece? If you are thinking of making a music piece then start to gather the instruments or equipment you will need.

• Wednesday: Making – Today is your chance to get creating. You have thought carefully about your design and have gathered all the materials you need to make it so now you are ready to get started! Try to make your creation as inventive and colourful as possible – you will need to convince the judges that your music is the best! If you are creating music then get recording!

• Thursday: Today, it is time to make any finishing touches. Don’t forget to email a picture, explanation and any other work you’ve done towards your musical instrument across the week over to Miss Ayers by 1pm – m.ayers@broughton.hants.sch.uk

• Friday: We will announce Mrs Macey’s winner of the competition un a newsletter which will be uploaded to the website.

• GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN J

Afternoon choices

Over the course of the week, you need to spend time completing the set tasks on the following subjects. You may choose which afternoon you would like to tackle each subject as long as by Friday, you have covered them all and have shown completion of the tasks in your book:• Art• French• History/Geography• Science• ICT• Reading comprehension• RRR

See details of this week’s required tasks on the following slides.

Weekly tasksArt – Our artist of the week is William Morris.1. As an introductory task, find out 10 facts about him – you may present these in your books however you

wish e.g. fact file, poster, acrostic poem.2. Which piece of art of his is your favourite? Research this online and then write a paragraph about what it is

that you particularly like about it. Challenge – Can you use technical vocabulary to describe it? E.g. Colour, shape, composition, shade, tone.

3. Recreate one of his pieces in your book and then evaluate it, giving yourself three positives and a future target.

Science – Our topic this week will be linked to our World War 2 topic.1. During World War 2, many of the attacks took place during the night. Streetlights were switched off or

dimmed and shielded to deflect the light downward. Traffic lights and vehicle headlights were fitted with slotted covers to deflect the beam down to the floor.

2. Investigate materials that would have been best seen in a blackout, or not seen at all. To do this, you could turn all the lights out in a room and cover your windows with material or paper. Just have one small light source on in the whole room and test which materials are best at creating a blackout. You may plan your own investigation, or you may want to use the guide on the next slide.

During the Second World War, most people living in Britain experiences bombing raids or the Blitz.

In Britain, people had to protect their homes during a bombing raid by creating a ‘blackout’. This meant that there could be no light at all coming from the house.

Which material will be the best at creating a blackout? Why do you think this? Try to use scientific vocabulary to support your answer.

Weekly tasksFrench - Our topic this half term is Time Travelling.1. Read through the separate PowerPoint presentation and listen to the sound files to ensure your

pronunciation is correct.2. Complete one of the work sheets on the following slides, writing your answers in your book. You may

choose your own sheet depending on how confident you are (* = not confident yet, ** = confident, *** = ready for a challenge).

History/Geography – Our topic this half term is World War 2.1. Recipe writing – To revise your work on rationing from a few weeks ago, look at the different foods and

ingredients that were available during the war and create a recipe with the limited ingredients.2. Letter – Write a letter home to your parents about being an evacuee. Think about what you new family

might be like, what food might be like, your new surroundings and the new animals you have seen. 3. This week, I would like you think more about the countries that were involved in World War 2. Choose

one of the countries and then do some research: finding out their national food, clothes, anthem, flag etc. Put together a fact file on that country, presenting your findings in a creative way.

Weekly tasksICT – Our topic this half term is Scratch.If you don’t already have Scratch on your computer, visit this website to use Scratch online: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/editor/?tutorial=getStarted\1. Follow through the guidance sheet (right) on the to create a Splat Game this week. You will create a new backdrop, new sprite and then create your very own game.

Further guidance and a step-by-step guide can be found on the class pages as a separate PowerPoint. This will give you more detail about any of the stages if you need a refresher. If you feel confident with Scratch already, you are more than welcome to experiment and start creating your game.

Weekly tasksReading comprehension

1) Begin by reading through the text on the next slide.2) Answer the questions carefully in your book, stating the question number and ensuring you answer,

where appropriate, in full sentences.3) Once you have answered all the questions, the answers are underneath the image of the questions. With

an adult, check through your answers and see how you have done.

RRR – Our article this week is article number 2

1) Each week, we will have a different right as a focus. As with French, there will be a presentation uploaded to the class page on the school website for you to work through. This will give information on the article itself as well as lots of learning ideas for you to have a go at. It is a flexible resource so allows you to dip into the areas you would like to have a go at.

2) Please send pictures to me of any work you complete on this so that I can share it with Mrs Bottle – I know she would be thrilled to see it and we can then share it with on the RRSA (Rights Respecting Schools Award) pages also.
