Good morning Year 3!

I have noticed only about 5 or 6 people have completed the Busy Things activities that I have put up so please if you haven’t, go onto it and have a go! If you have already, keep going with your home learning packs.

Please also keep commenting on my posts, I really want to hear from you! I’m sure you want to hear from each other too. If you have noticed that one of your friends hasn’t been commenting on the blogs, maybe you could ask a grown-up to send them a message to tell them about our blog posts.

Keep going with your learning packs, it’s Day 5 now! What did we enjoy most in the home learning pack today?

Love Miss Gluyas

Hope you guys are well,

I was reflecting on the conversation we had as a class about the different things we can bake and cook and those of you who do not know how to cook or bake. This would be a great time to learn some cooking and baking since it is a life skill. If you learn to cook or bake something new keep a log of them and share the recipe with us when we get back.

Take care guys!!

Good morning Year One!

I would really like to hear from you, how are your days going and how are you getting on with your learning packs?

I do a lot of reading these days and I do hope you find the time to do the same.

Keep checking our website and stay safe.

Lots of love

Ms. Boric

Remember: The pink lines are the lines you add on each step.

1. Start With a Basic Outline

Sketch four horizontal lines below the center of the drawing area. Using a ruler, add a number of rectangles of different sizes, as shown, some overlapping others. These shapes are the front surfaces of the buildings. All vertical lines should be parallel

2. Add Dimension

­Add a second side to each building to convey a sense of depth. Do this by drawing a vertical line shorter than the two lines for the front of the building.

3. Add Trees and Background

­­Sketch five trees in front of the middle buildings using squiggly half circles around the top railing. Evenly space pairs of vertical lines on the sides of some of the buildings, as shown.

Use diagonal lines on the sides of the two tall middle buildings to continue the bands. Draw a few more buildings in the background. Give the tall narrow building on the left a second side using parallel lines connected to the front with diagonal lines. Complete the roof using two triangles.

4. Add Architectural Details

Draw intersecting horizontal and vertical

lines on the sides of the buildings for windows. Sketch columns on the corners of the tall building at left using vertical lines with an inverted V shape on top.

5. Finish With Shading

T­hicken the lines at the bottom of the tallest building and give them rounded tops. Put vertical lines between the bands of the tallest building. Darken the buildings at the back.

Place horizontal lines on the tall buildings at the right and left of the tallest building. Shade the sides of some buildings using diagonal lines. Add short, curved lines to the trees. Sketch curving lines in the foreground to make it look like a watery surface.

Good Morning Year 2,

I hope you are all well today.

I’ve put a few more activities on busy things today.  There is a literacy activity, a maths activity and some Spanish from Mr Gonzalo.

On Wednesdays in school we would normally do Computing so I would also like you to try a computing task on busy things today.  Go to Year 2 Mrs Legg – Computing – Busy Code – Code Disco.  Then click on “Tutorial 1: The Basics” and work through that.

I’ve noticed that not as many of you have been completing the activities in the last few days as last week.  Do keep going with them and keep writing me messages on here to let me know how you’re getting on – it really cheers me up to hear from you and I’m sure you enjoy hearing from each other too.  If you notice that one of your friends hasn’t been joining in much, maybe you could ask a grown up to send them a message to make sure they know what’s going on!

Have a lovely day everyone.  I’ll be checking this blog regularly today so just ask if you have any questions.

Lots of love,

Mrs Legg

Morning year 5,

I hope this massage finds you well.

I have been checking year 5’s activities and only 6 or 7 of you have done the last 4 activities. I have extended them for another day so more of the class is able to complete. For the children who have completed, you have plenty of work in your learning packs to complete also. Well done to all the children who have completed all activities so swiftly.

I will also look to put up the step by step cityscape images we used last term… Maybe you can see if you can make one on plain paper which will be a real challenge! Check your ruler is perfectly parallel with the vertical and horizontal edges of your paper.

Lot of love

Mr Roman

Morning Year 6,

Wishing we were all getting ready for our ‘Weekly Mile’ this morning – what a perfect day to run 6 times around the Square.  I may go for a run anyway and pretend that you are all running behind me!

I have uploaded 2 assignments for you today:

English – What are prepositions?

Maths – Calculating areas – Level 2.

Computing – I thought that you could have a go at a ‘Scratch’ activity, so follow this link for a tutorial on how to create a cartoon…

Have any of you created a rainbow picture and put it up in your window yet?  You could use paint, coloured pencils/pens/crayons, or even make a collage using coloured paper.

I know some of you are very keen on your politics, so thought you might like a look inside the Houses of Parliament today!  There are 14 rooms for you to explore – my favourite room is the ‘House of Commons Chamber’ because I really like the wooden gallery.  Which one is your favourite?  Follow this link to see inside…

Missing you all.
