What are all these animals up to?!!
Good Morning Travellers! How are your journeys going?
Excellent research and information writing, yesterday. You've been busy finding out about lots of different forms of transport.... submarines, Zeppelin airships, fancy cars, space ships and aircraft. We've had people travelling all over the place again... even to other planets!
I hope you have more fun on your travels today.
Here are today's activities. You can do them in any order and you don't have to do them all if you don't have enough time, but please work hard on the activities that you choose to do.
Today, Mr Gamble is doing Collective Worship, so please join in by going to the Class 3 page or the New Articles Page.
Reading:
I hope that you are enjoying reading stories and information books about vehicles and transport, from your bookshelf at home.
Try to spend at least twenty minutes reading. This can be reading a book aloud or sharing a book with an adult.
Reading and Writing Activity - Sequencing events
Listen to Hey! Get off our Train.
After you have listened to the story, think about the things that happened on the journey.
Who is the driver?
Do you think the author is sending a message? Think about endangered animals
Make a list of the key events, then put them in time order.
Write a sentence for each main event and draw illustrations. You could draw speech bubbles to show what the characters said.
You could do each event in a train carriage, like the picture below. Then create an engine at the front.
You can draw your own squares and circles to make the train or print some carriages like this one:
There's also a wordmat with vocabulary that you might need. -Oi-get-off-our-train-wordmats.pdf- There are lots of words to help you with your writing on this wordmat.
-train story strip template-V299687438.doc- You might need more than one template

Maths:

Watch BBC bitesize clip about tally charts https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zjbcd2p
Look through the window or ask an adult to go outside with you.
Make a tally of the different types of transport that passes by.
Can you record this information in a bar chart or pictogram?
Maths Challenges:
Also, for those of you who would like to do a maths challenge. Have a go at these questions!
Answers to yesterday's challenge:
P.E:
Maybe you would like to 'wake up and shake up' with some exercise or perhaps later in the day. Choose a time when you will do some exercise today. Have you decided what you're going to do? Maybe more than one thing. You might like to do one of the activities below, or maybe go for a walk, run or do some cycling.
You could do an exercise routine with Joe Wicks, find a fun activity on GoNoodle or try something new like yoga: https://www.harrogatessp.com/keeping-all-young-people-active/
Be kind and help others
Have you done anything to help someone else today? Try to do a kind act for someone else. It might be to help with something or it might be to do something to cheer up another person. A friendly wave and smile through the window can mean a lot to someone who is lonely.
Transport Learning Project
This week you will be learning more about transport. You might find out about different typs of transport, transport in the past or the science behind transport. You could also learn about road safety and how to be safe around water.
Wacky Wheels- Can you investigate bicycles from the past to the present?
How have they changed?

You might want to do some more fact finding about rockets?
How about sports cars and racing cars?
Maybe, you are interested in sea travel – ships, submarine, boats, yachts? Perhaps trains or tractors?

Maybe you could make a poster or a report about the transport used in a different country.
Moving Models-
Find some junk modelling around the house and a make a model car that moves.
If you prefer, you could make a model car from lego or a different construction kit.
Test it out in the garden or during your daily walk.
Does the car move faster or slower on a ramp? Why/why not?
Float your Boat!
Using a variety of materials to make boats out of junk e.g. wood, plastic , paper, polystyrene etc.
Make a prediction about whether or not they will float and then test them to see which floats the longest. Can you write a report about which boat floated for the longest and why?
Brilliant Boats
- Use tinfoil to create a simple boat design.
- Try testing it by seeing how many coins it will hold.
- What shape makes the best boat?
- Don’t forget to recycle the tinfoil after using it!
Work hard, be kind and have a fun day. I will be back with you tomorrow!
