New Reading Books ...
Oxford Reading Owl has some e books that you can access for your children to read new material at their current reading level. This will be particularly useful for your child if they were reading Book Banded books (eg orange, turquoise, purple) from school.
You do have to sign up but is free and you will be able to access new e books. Of course this is not the same as holding a real book but it is another way to engage your child in reading. We hope this link is of use to you. Remember you are looking for "ebooks."
For Phonics games and activities (reading and spelling), Phonics Play is a brilliant website that has decided to waive their subscription for a month (as of 19th March 2020).

New resources - Uploaded Wednesday 25th
Please find below a list of websites/apps that we would like to recommend.
Doorway online - Touch typing
This is a great skill to learn and the activities here are all free. The activities take around 5 minutes each and will benefit everybody. Touch typing is a big help to those with dyslexia as well as making the process of typing quicker and more accurate. It will not work on a touch screen, it has to be done on a conventional keyboard.
Google Sketchup
This is a free 3D modelling program that can produce stunning results, given time and patience. It is an online application and can be found here. There are tutorials and of course hundreds of videos on YouTube.
Using sketchup, try to draw objects from around the house/garden first. Once mastered, try more difficult things like a house or other type of building (items with lines at angles are difficult, as are curves).
Audible
Good news - audible is making hundreds of titles available for free during the school closures. This service will remain free for as long as schools are shut - this means books are available to stream at no cost at all. Simply visit stories.audible.com from any browser to get started. No logins, credit card or passwords needed!
I hope this helps,
Mr B.

Predators
If you could be a predator for the day, what kind of predator would you be, and why? Where would you live? What features would help you hunt, catch and kill your prey?
Devise a "What am I?" quiz about predators and try it out on friends and family. How many questions did it take for them to get the right answer?
Write a set of instructions for how to care for your ultimate predator.Design your own imaginary predator. You could even join parts of existing predators using cropped images from the internet.
Mighty Metals
Go on a magnetic treasure hunt in your house. How many magnetic objects can you find? What materials are they made of?
Research some of the tasks carried out by robots. What tasks do you think robots could do in the future? What jobs would you (or your parents!) like robots to do in your house?
Search the web to find artwork made using metal and make a collage or scrapbook of downloaded images.
Find out about King Midas and his golden touch.
Find out all you can about a musical instrument made from metal. It could be orchestral or something more unusual! Create a presentation with photos and sound clips of your chosen instrument.
Given each Friday and due in the following Thursday
Reading - We expect children to read at home at least 3 times a week and that this is recorded in their school diaries. Children may read to you, you to them, they can talk about what they have read or answer questions to check they have understood.
English Homework (given on Week 1 in the diary) - This may be exercises to practise grammar, punctuation and spelling; reading comprehension activities or projects to support Topic work.
Maths Homework (given on Week 2 in the diary) - This may be exercises to consolidate concepts being worked on in class; times tables practice (your child should know which times table is their target but should continue to practise the tables they have already learned) or other online activities.
Optional Homeworks- There are Optional Homeworks detailed at the bottom of this page for each Topic. These are entirely voluntary and to be completed at your discretion.
NB: Login details will be issued for TT Rock Stars and will be stuck in School Diaries.
