Good Morning!

I hope you have enjoyed the Christmas themed home learning so far? Please find today’s tasks below.

Maths

Today we will be using our times tables to make some digital root stars. To learn how to do this, please watch the powerpoint below. You will also need to print a copy of one of the circles sheet below to complete the activity and a sharp pencil and ruler. You can either start your digital root stars with the first digital root in the times table, or you can start them at 0 (Depending on which sheet you choose). Each will produce different patterns.

Today we are going to compare and contrast the two Christmas adverts that we have looked at. Please watch both of the adverts again.

Now I would like you to compare and contrast the two adverts by finding the differences and similarities between the two adverts. While you are watching, them think about the following questions.

  • What is the message?
  • Is it animated?
  • What are the characters like?
  • Do you recognise any characters?
  • What is the music like?
  • What is it set?
  • Is there a problem – solution?
  • How does it make you feel?

– Love? Laughter? Tears? Emotion?

No can you use your ideas to complete the venn diagram below? I will be interested to hear which advert you preferred and why?

Compare and Contrast

Science

Explore light and shadows by making some shadow puppets at home. See the video below and see if you can make the different shadows.

Or you can try to cut out your own shadow puppet. By either printing or cutting out a silhouette. See the picture below for an idea.

 

Christmas Craft

In school we will be completing the Christmas craft below. Why not try this at home?
