Please continue to learn your times tables up to 12x 12
We will be focusing on another week of measurement! Have a go at measuring the length of different objects around your home and then record the measurement. Remember your top tips for using a ruler (always start to measure from 0 and make sure the ruler is straight). Once you have measured a range of objects, complete these task below:
1) Write the objects in order from shortest to longest.
2) What is the difference in length between the longest and shortest object?
3) What is the total length of the longest three objects?
4) What is the total length of the shortest three objects?
5) Use < > or = to compare some of your object lengths.

These 2 lessons are still based on the Dream Giver which can be found www.literacyshed.com/dreamgiver or on youtube
Lesson 3
Lesson objective: I am learning to write a fantasy narrative.
Discuss the events so far and discuss the predictions from the previous lesson. Watch the
film up to 2mins 18 seconds
Answer the following questions
What has happened in the narrative up to now?
What is he going to do with the eggs?
If you could choose your own dreams what would you want the Dream Giver to crack the egg
on for you? Why?
How do you think nightmares are created?
What do you think will happen next in the film?
Go back to the question: What would you like the Dream Giver to crack his egg on for you?
find an object in your home to represent that dream e.g. a football boot a piece of lego for example.
Ask what would happen if the egg was cracked on these. Football boot may be a dream about playing
with their favourite player. Lego may be that they everything is made of Lego and they get to
build their own motorbike to ride around on etc.
Task
Write your own dream sequence remember to use adverbs to express time and cause.
Post your writing on the blog for us to read!
Lesson 4
Lesson objective I am learning to write a setting and build tension.
Discuss the events so far and discuss the predictions from the previous lesson. Watch the film up to
3 minutes 38 seconds – the point when the eyes appear in the darkness of the cave. Ask how the
director/film maker has made the atmosphere seem scary or tense. Discuss how we could do that
as writers- the fact that everything is old and dark. There is a skeleton up against
one tree and there are many faces of ancient stones watching him, which contribute to a negative
atmosphere. The tension builds as it seems beautiful (the butterflies) but suddenly changes. Tension
builds further as huge eyes appear in the darkness and we do not know who it is.
Sequence the key events in the dream section. [From the point when the boy knocks the egg off the bed onto the book, until the eyes appear in the darkness]
Task
Use the bare bones of the text to create their own retelling of the nightmare section
Reading (Aim to do 1 per day)
You could share a story together. This could be a chapter book where you read and discuss a chapter a day.
Listen to your child read and let them discuss what they have read. Encourage them to read with expression and intonation.
Watch Newsround and discuss what is happening in the wider world.
Get your child to read a book on Oxford Owl, discuss what your child enjoyed about the book.
Get your child to read and complete the activities. These focus on comprehension skills. Easter
Explore new vocabulary you find when reading. What are the origins of this word? Can it be modified? Can you find any synonyms or antonyms for your new word?
With your child, look in magazines, newspapers and books for new vocabulary they are unfamiliar with. They could use a highlighter to highlight in magazines and newspapers
Remember David Walliams reading his own stories daily at 11.00 am at
Choose 5 Common Exception words. Write a synonym, antonyms, the meaning and an example of how to use the word in a sentence. Can the word be modified?
Choose 5 Common Exception words and practise spelling them using green vowels. Write the word and every vowel complete in green, e.g. spelling.

After watching the clip, children could carry out an investigation into soil permeability by timing how long it takes a certain amount of water to drain through a particular sample. Children could contrast sandy soil, to clay soil, to rocky soil, and examine samples under the microscope to look at how the particles are packed and relate this back to how quickly the water is able to flow through it. Children could consider the effects these types of soil could have in areas at risk of flooding and for farmers and crops growing in field

One of the most spectacular things you can build in your home is a volcano. It may seem impossible but anybody can make a volcano with a little time and the right materials. Making a volcano at home can be done in many different ways depending on the density or consistency you want to give the lava, the material used in the construction of the slopes and according to the virulence of the eruption, etc., all these being your choices.
You'll need:
We will place the plastic bottle in the centre and make the lateral slopes with mud or papier mache. Here we will use a 1/3 litre bottle to make the volcano, but you can build a larger home made volcano using larger bottles.
2
You can varnish the homemade volcano with plasticine, clay or papier mache, so that the building material used is waterproof to the aqueous solution, which is the lava. This means that it can also be washed with water and thus can be used repeatedly, as if it were always the first time.
3
We will put two tablespoons of baking soda in the 1/3 litre bottle we selected to make the homemade volcano.
To make the volcano lava add liquid soap, about one tablespoon. You can also use water and flour to achieve the desired viscosity for the volcano lava.
5
Add a little paprika to give the lava volcano reddish tone. If the soap used is red this step is unnecessary.
6
You are now ready to erupt the homemade volcano. Just mix the ingredients with a spoon or other item, add a splash of vinegar to the mix and move back.
7
Now you can amaze your friends with the easily home made erupting volcano.
