Don’t worry if you haven’t got and baking soda, salt and any fizzy drink will also create a chemical reaction although it is much slower! In class on Friday we will be making our own volcanoes in which to set off our eruptions. You might like to do the same as part of your Family Fun Afternoon?

Madame Reynard’s French activity builds on previous learning and is all about asking someone how they are feeling. Full details of the activity can be found in the resource section at the bottom of this page.

PSHE

LO: To identify some challenges people face

LO: To express our own dreams and goals

This is the introduction to our new topic – Dreams and Goals

We may feel that our dreams and goals have been affected by Lockdown and everything that is happening in the world at the moment but this isn’t the way that it is always going to be. In this lesson we are going to look at the challenges which others have overcome so that we can think about setting our own dreams and goals for the future.

Watch the BBC Bitesize film about Paralympian Ade Adepitan

https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/pshe-ks2--ks3-ade-adepitan-paralympic-champion/zbwxnrd

Think about these questions:

What challenges did Ade face?

What did Ade do to overcome his challenges and achieve his dream of being a Paralympic athlete?

Now look at the 6 pictures on the ’Overcoming difficulties’ resource sheet (in the resource bank).

Pick one of the pictures and create a short back story for the person facing the challenge.

Try to write one or two sentences for each of the following points. These could be written in the first person, as if the person is telling their own story.

• Introduce the person, their name and their challenge.
• Describe how the person feels about facing the challenge.
• Describe how the person achieves the challenge.
• Describe how the person feels when they have been successful.
 

Now think about what your dreams and goals for the future are. You can either record what your own dreams and goals are in your own way or you could complete the sheet called ‘What do want for your future?’ (in the resource bank).

Friday 22^nd January

Family Fun Afternoon

Along with other year groups we are dedicating Friday afternoon to quality family time. Perhaps you could go on a family walk, or play a board game or watch a film together? If you have other ideas, let us know so we can suggest for future weeks! Below is a list of 101 ideas that we have found. Warning: Some activities are longer/more suitable than others.

In school this week we will be watching the recording of last Friday’s National Marine Aquarium Live Lesson about underwater volcanoes and then making our own working volcanoes!
