DT

Today, we have started our DT project of ‘Moving Pictures’. We are designing and making Easter cards with a moving part.

In preparation for this, have a look around your house and see if you have any books with moving parts. These may be pop-up books, ‘lift the flap’ books or they may use sliders and pivots. If you do not have any, don’t worry! Find things around your house that move in some way and discuss with an adult how they are moving. Do you need to push something? Turn something?

Have a go at this simple activity which uses a slider. A strip of card or paper will do the job instead of a lolly stick. Activity Sheet Gingerbread Man Slider – Black and White

If you want to, you can start to think of your own ideas for an Easter card that has moving parts and draw your ideas. If you come to school tomorrow, bring these with you!

Maths

Practise telling the time to the hour (o’clock). Then, use this interactive clock to look at half past. teaching clock

History

At school, the children have been making Tudor houses using cardboard boxes. If you have a recycling box, see if you can see two boxes – one of which needs to be bigger than the other. This will be your top box. Remember that in Tudor times, the bottom floor is smaller than the upper as people had to pay a lot of money for the ground that they bought. Create a jetty by sticking these boxes together. Make sure you have a picture of a Tudor house to copy! You may find this information helpful: model Tudor house

Have a great day.
