Home Learning Activities - Monday 28th June

-

Hello Class 4,

Here are some activities for those of you who are self-isolating. 

This week is Arts Week in school, so a lot of these activities are art focused. Please don't worry if you are unable to complete them all or need to adapt them, just do the best you can with the materials you have available. 

Art - Activity 1

This week we are going to be learning about impressionism. I would like you to start by carrying out some research to find out:

What is impressionism?

·       The name of some impressionist artists

·       When the style was introduced

·       Where the style was introduced

·       Your opinion of this style of art. Do you like it? Why? Why not?

You can present your research any way you choose, you might like to create your own PowerPoint presentation or a poster. 

Use can use the following PowerPoint/websites to help you:

Art - Activity 2

I would now like you to compare two paintings by different impressionist artists:

Image 2

Look closely at each of the paintings and then answer the following questions:

Who do you think the people are?

Where do you think it is?

What colours were used?

What do you think the artist has done well?

Which painting do you prefer? Why?  

Extension - If you have time, have a go at sketching one of the paintings.

Art - Activity 3 (If you have paints available)


For this activity, I would like you have a go at painting in an impressionist style.

Watch the following video and then try it out. 

Guided Reading

Spend around 15-20 minutes reading a book.

Spellings

Please see the separate blog post for this week's spellings. The test will be on Friday 2nd July. 

Outdoor Classroom

We normally spend some time in the outdoor classroom on Mondays, so if you can, go and enjoy some time outdoors. You might like to do one of the activities we've tried in school, such as making a piece of artwork using natural materials or creating a mini den.

PE

Try to find some time to be active today. You might like to do a Joe Wicks Workout or some Cosmic Kids Yoga.

Extra activities (optional):

If you have time, you could also spend some time practising your maths skills using these websites:

Hit the Button  - You don't need to download the app, you can just click on the buttons to start playing.

Top Marks - Choose a category from the menu at the top and then select a game to play. 

Guardians: Defender of Mathematica - A fun a game for practising a range of maths skills.

Times Tables Rockstars - Great for practising your times tables.

If you would like to send in any work or photographs from today, please email them to: admin@holyapostles.gloucs.sch.uk 

I hope to see you back in school very soon.

Best wishes,

Mrs Piper

Good afternoon Class 4, We're coming to the end of another week of home learning, with only one week left for the year! I'm so impressed with how you have all coped during this difficult time. Next week's home learning will look a little different as it is the last week of term, so this will be the last day with the Maths and English activities that you have been doing. There is now an Open the Book Playlist where you can find all of the videos that have been recorded by the Open the Book team during this time. You will be able to find the video for today on there.  Here are your activities for  Friday 10th July . Have a good day! Miss Greenwood

James did a great Pointillist painting of a 'Dino Piggy'! I love the imagination behind this picture James and good choice of colours!  Great job! Ted has been working  hard during Home Learning. I am so impressed with this Anglo-Saxon settlement! What a fantastic job!  I also really like  how creative your model of the Water Cycle is with the hanging sun and clouds! Well done Ted.  James has been working hard researching Anglo-Saxons and his cat Marli was keen to find out more too! I'm so glad you're enjoying this topic James and Marli, well done for remembering all 7 kingdoms too. Great job! Ed has been doing a brilliant job helping out at home! Well done for making your bed and doing the washing Ed! Super helper! Charlie did an amazing retelling of The Willow Pattern with his own plate story! I love that you recreated it using Lego construction workers. Great story! Well done.

Hello Class 4, I hope you have had a fantastic half-term with the lovely weather! I can't believe we are in our final term already! As many of you know Red Class, Class 1 and Class 6 are returning to school this week which means our activities are going to be a little different. Message to parents:  Please be aware that this term you will notice that the activities posted on the class blogs will be a little different from what you have been used to previously, for example, they may not always include an English and Maths lesson. This is for several reasons, i) there will be a focus on Well Being for the children (in and out of school) as we move through the Covid-19 journey; ii) normally during the summer term we have a range of curriculum focus weeks; iii) to ensure consistency for groups both attending school, or remaining at home. This approach will enable teaching staff to manage providing the planning for both groups in a workable manner. This week, the school w
