Living History

As we continue to live in lock-down, we are experiencing first-hand an event which will be learnt about in history and science lessons of the future. Wouldn’t it be great to make a record so that others can learn about what we have done and how we feel? 

Use these resources to help record some of the things you have been doing, what you have enjoyed and what you miss. You don’t need to print anything – just use the questions and write down your answers on a piece of paper.

Key Stage 1

Year 3 and 4

Year 5 and 6

Who knows – your writing might help children in the future understand what lock-down was like!

More VE Day Ideas

Hi everyone

As Miss Morgan has already said, next week is the 75th Anniversary of VE Day.

At the end of World War 2, families and communities celebrated by having street parties and singing and dancing. I would like you to recreate this in your own home by learning to sing a song popular at the time.

‘We’ll Meet Again’ by Dame Vera Lynn was sung across the nation to celebrate the fact that separation from loved ones and hardship was coming to an end. I would like you to have a go at learning the song to sing with your family. The song will be a big part of this years celebrations with a nationwide performance from doorsteps planned for 9pm on the 8th May. So give it a go!

I would love it of you could film/photograph yourself (with or without your family) singing and send it to the school email address.

a2190@telford.gov.uk

You might even want to dress up in 1940s costumes and hold a garden tea party to celebrate such an important event.

I look forward to seeing the fun you all have.

Base 10 – Home update

Finlay has been reading through lots of books on the Romans. He has been out riding his bike each day, swimming in the pool on hot days, looking at and naming the parts of a flower, baking scones, having Zoom guitar lessons, learning the Roman Numerals and beginning to read Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. He has also been working on maths, SPAG, reading comprehension and TT Rockstars too!

Wow! Finlay – well done!

VE Day

On the 8th May, we will be celebrating the 75th anniversary of VE Day. We thought that it would be a great idea if you could still celebrate this at home.

Here are some ideas of what you could do:
Design a teacup t-h-321-ks2-ve-day-teacup-design-activity_ver_2
Design/create a medal t3-h-123-design-a-ve-day-medal-activity-sheet_ver_1
Decorate your house using bunting t-t-2548139-union-jack-template-display-bunting_ver_1

If you would like to explain this event to your child, here is a document that explains what VE Day is. t2-t-1578-ve-day-75th-anniversary-information-powerpoint-_ver_2

It would be lovely to see anything that you do to celebrate this occasion. Please send any pictures to the school email address so that these can be put onto the newsletter.

Base 10 – Home Update

Noah had a very exciting Easter holidays, with his family, which is so lovely to see! Making home-made cheese dip, for his nachos, beforehand, he enjoyed a Cinema-style viewing of Trolls 2. He, creatively, used monopoly money to buy his tickets and snacks on entry to the living room. He, also, took part in Bestival the stay at home festival and enjoyed carnival games. Noah completed many science experiments and wrote a comic about a sky-diving monkey as well.

Then, to top it all off, the Easter Bunny delivered many clues for an Easter Egg hunt. This happened to me, when I was younger, too!

Well done, Noah! You are definitely making the most of your time at home.
