WELCOME BACK
Miss Wilkinson and Buzzard team miss you so much and can't wait until we meet again. It's been lovely seeing some of you around the village (at a distance).
I hope your Easter break was fun and relaxed (and full of chocolate) ready to start our summer term. I am excited to announce our new summer topic
Commotion in the Ocean!
Throughout this topic we will be learning lots about our sea's through lots of geography, science, history, art and much more. Whilst learning from home there will be lots of fun activities set for you to link with our topic which can be found in your new homework menus (file attached below). For more resources and links, keep scrolling down this page to find information for each subject.
Remember, other places you can find extra activities are Purple mash, Sumdog and Education city (your log in is the same as your Sumdog password, which I will provide for you over the phone during out telephone call).
I understand that this can be a difficult time for both children and parents, so please don't panic about activities that have been set - to ensure you are all finding and understanding these activities well, please expect a telephone call from me this week to make contact with both children and parents to answer any questions you may have and to check you are all okay.
During home learning, the children may use computing more than usual and it is really important for us to stay safe online. Also, we must remember to balance the children's screen time. If you need any information on your child's screen time, then please check our online safety tab and it will have lots of documents for you to explore.
You could also explore these documents which explore a healthy me diary and a computing home learning document.
When we think about visiting the other side of the world we almost always think about taking a flight. Since the 1950s, air travel has become more and more common and aeroplanes have become much faster and more comfortable. To travel around the world without flying you'd have to use a combination of rail, road and sea transportation.
The Big Question:
How would you travel around the world without flying?
1.
Planning an enquiry will really get your child thinking like a scientist. How will they travel around the world without using air travel?
Explain that you will be working to answer a big question. Present it to your child. What do she/he already know or think they know about travel and ways to travel?
2.
Discuss the different ways you can approach the question. Help them to understand the sort of environments they might come across like seas, deserts and mountains. Here are some further prompts:
What forms of transport would they use?
How are they powered?
What equipment and supplies will they need to bring?
3.
How will they explore the question? Prompt your child to explain their ideas, qualify them with what they already know and refine them based on views expressed by other people in your home. What is their plan for the investigation? Here are some tips:
How will they know where they are?
How could they prove they'd done the journey?
How would they plan the route?
4.
Ask them to imagine they had to present their investigation at school assembly or to their family, how would they show their action plan? Discuss the various ways this could work.
Encourage them to plan a route on a map or globe, as well as work out the total distance travelled or how many countries you'd cross! This is a great investigation to draw on their geography knowledge and maths skills.
If your child is still feeling inspired by travel they could have a go at designing and building their own boats. What features might these boats need to travel very long distances?

P.E
Here are some great P.E activities you can do at home:
Bike riding
Set up a relay race. Running a relay race is great exercise, but working to set up a relay race is also a good way to teach teamwork and sportsmanship.
Build an obstacle course. Get your child to brainstorm obstacles and set up a course around the house or in the garden. Take turns running it, and see who can run it the fastest! (try and beat the times).
Play Hula Hoop Games. Hula Hoops are so versatile! You can play jump rope with them, use them as a bean bag toss, or have hula contests.
Play with water sprinklers when the weather is warm - this is a great way for your child to run around.
Play tag
Playing with a ball - catch, football etc.

Boggle - How many words can you make with this weekly Boggle Challenge?
A fun game to try at home in this lovely weather. This phonics activity involves taping letters on index cards against a wall or fence, then filling some water balloons which have word endings written on them. The children then pick a water balloon and hold it up against one of the index cards to see if the letter and word ending match to make a word. If it does, they have to read the word out loud, and then they get to throw the balloon at the letter to pop it.
