Today’s activity comes from the National Trust, who have created a ‘50 activities to do in your back garden‘. If you don’t have a garden, you could still go out and collect items to create your wildlife home at home, before placing it somewhere safe in a local park for wildlife to enjoy.

All sorts of animals need homes, so why not try making a bug hotel, a house for a hedgehog, or even a motel for a mouse? Think about the creature you’re making a home for – does it need to be warm, light, dry, dark, cold, or wet? Don’t despair if animals don’t move in straight away. Many will take time to get used to a new place, so check back each day or week to see if any new friends have moved in.

Please share this document with your children to show how our values can help us all stay safe when we return to school.

Today’s challenge is all about tangrams! The tangram is a dissection puzzle consisting of seven flat shapes, called tans, which are put together to form shapes. The objective of the puzzle is to form a specific shape using all seven pieces, which cannot overlap.

Below, I have attached a document with a blank tangram for you to cut out. This document also includes lots of animal outlines for you to try and create using the tans. The solutions are also included so you can check (or sneak a look if you are unsure!). As always, please send any photos in to [email protected]

We have been so impressed with the variety and quality of your home learning over the past few weeks. Here are just a few wonderful examples:

70% OF OUR PLANET IS WATER, AS IS 70% OF THE HUMAN BODY.

WE LIVE ON A BLUE PLANET, PLANET OCEAN.

World Ocean Day for Schools is a free digital platform that curates the most engaging and thought provoking ocean related learning resources for educators. This platform is designed to act as a catalyst to a richer connection with the ocean in a way that complements existing school curriculum. These explorations into all of our water systems culminate with a global celebration in June in conjunction with World Ocean Day every year.

Good morning, everyone! For today’s activity, I’ve been inspired by our Year 6 children. A few weeks ago, they were solving logic puzzles so I thought I’d share one with you all today.

 A hunter has a lion, goat and carrot and he wants to cross the river taking all three along. There is a boat that can fit him plus either the lion, the goat, or the carrot. He is confused because if the lion and the goat are alone on one shore, the lion will eat the goat. If the goat and the carrot are alone on the shore, the goat will eat the carrot. Help the hunter by finding a way to bring all the three things to the other side of the river.

Clue – the hunter will have to make lots of trips back and forth across the river. You might find it easier to draw a diagram.

If you think you can solve it, or you have a puzzle of your own, please email [email protected]

Good luck!

Good morning, everyone! I’ve spent quite a bit of time creating animations using Scratch with Year 3 this year. You can also create an animation without a computer by using only paper and a pencil. If you have post-it notes, they will work even better, but you can use paper as well. Watch the video below to learn how to create your very own paper animation:

Well done to everyone who joined in with Week 2 of the Virtual School Games. The focus this week is tennis. There are two activities to try out – the attachment has the instructions for KS1 and KS2. Don’t forget to enter your data by 1pm on Friday 5th June via this link.
