Week 4 25th - 29th January

Our theme for home learning this week is Animals: Pets and Wild Animals. 

I know that lots of us have pets at home, and I'd love to know more about them. Here is a short video of pets:

But don't worry if you haven't got pets at home. Instead you can focus on a wild animal of your choice!

So along with your Purple Mash 2Dos for this week, here are some more activities that you might like to do:

English

• Watch Newsround and discuss some of the news stories you've found most interesting with someone at home: https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/news/watch_newsround
• Write up your weekend news - did you go for a nice walk, watch a new film or play a game? 
• Write a diary for a week in the life of your pets - what do they get up to each day?
• Write a fact file about a wild animal of your choice. There are some great virtual animal talks from our local wildlife parks. Here are a few to get you started!

Maths

• Double Up: move your arrow keys on the keyboard to move the animals around. As they move, you'll notice they keep doubling up. What is the highest score you can get? https://www.mathplayground.com/double_up.html
• Island of Creatures: in this logic game you need to connect the animals together in the shortest number of moves. Get your brain working out with his game! https://www.mathplayground.com/logic_islands_of_creatures.html
• Penguin Jump: we've played this game in class before - can you get your penguin across the water safely? https://www.mathplayground.com/ASB_PenguinJumpMultiplication.html
