Welcome Back to School

It feels like Christmas Eve - it is the same excitement. I am really happy that we will get our Year 6 family back together next week to celebrate and reflect on their primary school life. We know that this is not how we intended the year to be and that the children have missed out on some of the things that they were looking forward to. I am really hoping that we can make their final week in school full of smiles and laughter.

Year 4 Thursday 9th July Learning from Home with Mrs Hotchkiss

Thank you for all your thoughtful work related to our beautiful planet!!

Today we turn to our first topic in Year 5 - The Ancient Greeks! I believe you love history and you know all about the Vikings!!! At the beginning of Year 5 we study the Ancient Greeks. Unlike other groups in Ancient times these people didn’t really live in one country together. Greece is so mountainous and has thousands of islands that the population was split into lots of smaller cities. It was not easy to travel form one to the other and each island and “City State” had its own ruler and laws. These cities sometimes fought against one another too. We study the Ancient Greeks because so many parts of their culture (the way they lived) has influenced the way we live today (democracy and the Olympic games)! They were also great mathematician and inventors - they even invented the idea of history itself - recording events for people in the future to learn from.


TASK 1 WHO WERE THE GREEKS?

Grab your English book ready to make notes. Write this subheading:

Who were the Ancient Greeks? Now click on the button to visit the BBC Bitesize page. Write down what you have learnt from this reading.

BBC BITESIZE _ WHO WERE THE ANCIENT GREEKS LINK

TASK 2 THE OLYMPIC GAMES

Once the Ancient Greeks moved past the dark ages they began to work more closely together and they invented the Olympic games!!! Again place a subheading in your English book and write down the key information for the BBC Bitesize page! Take this learning further. Click onto the Purple Mash link and visit your 2do’s here you will find a fact sheet to complete all about the Olympics - use your research to complete it!

TASK 3 PE CHALLENGE

The Ancient Greeks are not the only civilization to love sport! Girls we can join in this PE!!!! The Lancashire team have set us a new PE challenge this week. Click on the link below to take you to our school sports page. Mrs Gregan has faithfully helped us all stay active - thank you Mrs G !

YEAR 4 PE CHALLENGE!!

TASK 4 ART

One of the reasons we know so much about the Ancient Greeks is because Archaeologists has used artifacts and ruins to piece together a clearer picture (just like detectives). The Ancient Greeks used a lot of pottery and on those vases and jars they drew pictures of Live in Ancient Greece. Click on the button to study pictures of real ancient vases - can you see how they depict the Olympic games? I have also gven you a blank vase to print out or copy so that you can produce a vase of your own- what part of Ancient Greek life will you show? Take care with colour you have to use Brown/orange and black!!!

School prayer

As you can see, our school prayer is missing a bit of colour and a few illustrations to match the words. Can you make an eye catching poster containing the school prayer? You can print the one out above and decorate it or can write out the prayer yourself using your beautiful handwriting. The most creative will be used on display in your new Year 2 classroom.

Faith-Filled and Hopeful

As we are coming to the end of transition week, I would like you to look ahead and think carefully about your hopes for next year. What do you hope for yourself? What do you hope for the world? Create a poster containing your hope using the Purple Mash template set as a 2DO. We will then be collecting together your hopes to create a lovely, whole school display for when you return to school in September.
