If the children write the whole story in one it can be rushed and lack detail.

Stone stacking is an art, discipline, or hobby in which stones are naturally balanced on top of one another in various positions without the use of glue, wires, supports, rings or any other contraptions which would help maintain the construction's balance.

Collect some interesting shaped stones on a walk or from your garden (they don’t need to be big – pebbles will work too). Can you find the natural balance and construct your own Stone Stack?

In History this half term, we are going back to the time we looked at in Autumn Term, we learned that in 1605 Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament and the King. See if your child can remember anything about the story or the time. What was life like? What clothes did they wear? Did they have electricity? What might houses have been like? How might their lives have differed to ours?

We call this the 17th century - even though the years start with a 16, it is the 17th century.

Look at this Life in the 17th Century PP together and discuss life in the1600s compared to now. In the next few lessons we will start to look at some important events in the 1600s which we can also compare with now. You could draw a timeline to show how long ago the 1600s were compared to now and research important events that happened in the 1700s, 1800s, 1900s, 2000s up until now to help children better understand what people did and did not have in the 1600s.

Reading

Obviously, it is really important for children to keep developing as readers during these

difficult times, so we wanted to offer our support for you to ensure this continues to

happen throughout this period of home learning.

We have looked into a number of resources and feel that the following could be really

useful:

Oxford Owl

This website contains a wide range of ebooks for children to read online. It is really easy to

navigate and explore the books by age range.

Free Kids Books

http://freekidsbooks.org/?fbclid=IwAR2P_7wrSF7sRNjT8TMDH49f7rmB-f8ZncXR3FPQ8KfJBVEZOs1hqQVePs

Audible

https://stories.audible.com/discovery/enterprise-discovery21122356011?ref=adbl_ent_anon_ds_ds_dccs_sbtp-0-1

Audible have a selection of stories that are free to listen to – these are especially great for

evenings, especially on those days where you may have totally run out of the energy

required to read your child a bedtime story! Listening to one of these together may be a

great sleep aid for you both, you never know!

Get Epic!

This is a bank of digital books for children – parents can sign up for a free 30 day trial.

Love Reading for Kids

come packaged directly to your children.

Booklife

available to buy.

BOOKS TO BUY!

The following website is really useful for recommending books that you can order for your

children to read at home:

https://schoolreadinglist.co.uk/category/reading-lists-for-primary-school-pupils/

It is categorized into year groups, and when you click on a book, it then takes you to the

Amazon site, where you can then order it if you wish.

Ebooks are brilliant and mean that you have a whole range of books at the click of a button,

but I’m sure you will agree, there is nothing like receiving a new book and holding it to

read!

P.E - Bat and Ball Skills

Encourage the children to always start by warming their bodies up.

Start by throwing and catching - using different sized items and from different distances. What are the different ways we throw and why? (e.g. under arm, over arm)

When confident choose an object that is light enough for the child to bat back using their hand. Children need to think about where they aim and how hard or soft to bat it so that it can be caught. This can be made harder or easier by varying the objects and distance as before.

Children should be encouraged to cool down after any exercise and talk about why this is important.
