Literacy

Prepositions

A preposition is a word that shows the relationship of a noun or a pronoun to another word in a sentence.

For example:

The squirrel is in the tree.

The dog ran after the ball.

The bird took food from the table. 

Reading

Please remember to log on to Active Learn. We have noticed that quite a few of you have not logged in for quite some time!

St George's Day Reading Comprehension:

Topic

The Water Cycle

WALT: Understand and explain the water cycle. 

Using the links below, study the water cycle to identify the main stages. 

Can you now:

• Label a diagram of the water cycle? (See link below)
• Create the water cycle in a bag? (See link below)
• Create your own 3D model of the water cycle?

Complete the activities above and send in a picture of what you have done to your teacher. 

Good luck!

Science

WALT: Identify the different layers of a soil profile.

Wherever you stand on the Earth - even if you are on a ship in the middle of the sea - there is rock somewhere beneath you. You are on solid ground. 

You might be thinking, wait a minute... the school field isn't a rock, nor is the park or the garden. That's because the rock is covered with a layer of earth or soil. If you dig down through this soil, you will find rock under it - everywhere. 

See the PowerPoint below for more information and your task. 

PE

The Body Coach, Joe Wicks will be doing live workouts for children on his YouTube Channel every morning from 9am. They last 30 minutes and are a great way to start off the day! He even has a 'Dress Up Friday' workout!
