Hello parents, carers and children,

We just wanted to write you a little note about home learning.

From what we have seen so far you are all completing lots of work and trying really hard at home.

WELL DONE to all of you for your amazing efforts so far!

We know this is an unusual time for everyone, the most important thing is to keep you and your family happy and healthy.

Whilst we obviously encourage you to work at home, we do realise this will be easier for some people than others.

Try your best to do what you can but also use this time to spend quality time together too. 

We will be posting new resources on the website each day for you to access. These resources are not a must do they are being added to help support you and your families at home.

Some of the resources will be our core subjects Maths, English and Reading whilst others will be tasks or challenges you can enjoy as a family. 

To all the 3/4R children, we are missing you. 

We are really proud of how hard you are all working at home. :-)

The most important message we want to send is -

You are doing an amazing job. Keep each other safe and enjoy this precious time together. 

Remember if you need us do not hesitate to email us. :-)

padiham34r@padiham.lancs.sch.uk

Our best wishes,

Miss Rushton, Mrs Spencer, Miss Rawcliffe, Mrs Rawson and Miss Fort.

Task one: Design a bug hotel using a labelled diagram. (Build your bughotel in the bottom of a large pop bottle to keep the inside dry.

Task two: Make your bug hotel.

English

Write a clear set of instructions to teach someone else how to make a bug hotel.

Write an advert or create a brochure persuading Minibeasts to stay in your hotel. Don't forget to exaggerate! e.g Our new five star bug hotel has a state of the art snail hot tub.

Write a story pretending to be one of the Minibeasts staying in your hotel.

Make fact-files about the different Minibeasts who live in bug hotels.

Find out what common foods different Minibeasts will eat and create a menu for your bug hotel.

Maths

Measure all the components for your bug hotel accurately using a ruler.

Make tally charts, bar charts and pictograms to record how many bugs are staying in your bug hotel.

Make a price list for the different types of rooms in your bug hotel.

Add the prices in different ways and subtract the amounts from £10.00 or £20.00 to calculate change.

e.g

Snail Room £1.43

Worm Room £3.34

Art

Draw detailed sketches of the Minibeasts you find in your bug hotel.

Please send us photos of your amazing bug hotels and let us know if you think of anymore fun tasks.

Top tip: If no Minibeasts decide to visit your hotel you could go on a Minibeast hunt and pop them in yourself.

Have fun and stay safe. :-)

Friday's Maths Challenge:

2.4.2020 Here is tomorrow's maths challenge, I will be doing this in school tomorrow, you should have a go at home too. :-)

Parents: This is Who Wants to be a Millionaire PowerPoint, it's probably best being adult led. One slide shows the question and the next slide shows the answer. If you run it as a slide show that would work best. The slides change on a mouse click. :-)
