Task 2: Use an atlas (could be online) to work out which climate zone each location belongs to.

Have you improved upon your performance from last week?

PE

(Linked to Science)

Continue with the task from last week:

Over the next few weeks, we would like you to build a portfolio of different animals. By the end of term, you will have to sketch one animal from each class of the vertebrate group of the animal Kingdom (this will make more sense as you work through the science activities).

How to develop your sketching skills

Ongoing activities.

Continue to work on your chosen project

1. Soap dispenser
2. PPE face mask
3. Nutritious food
4. Protective and practical apron
5. Transportation device e.g. a trolley

You should now be on ‘activity 3’.

If you are unable to make the item in a few weeks’ time, don’t panic – you can always design something else instead.

DT Project overview

Listen to a range of music and sounds e.g. birds singing, the ticking of a clock or the banging of a hammer. List the sounds you heard then comment on how they made you feel and what they made you think about.

Have a look at the website below and see if you can create similar sounds to the ones that you have already observed.

You could consider adding a voice – this could be by adding whistling humming or singing.

Challenge:

Can you create ‘We Will Rock You’?

Days of the week

Look at the document with the days of the week in French and English – learn and practise saying these.

Once you are confident, try to match (or write) the French and English words,

t2-l-342-french-days-of-the-week_ver_2

then draw a picture of something that you do on that day.

Can you write a sentence in French, saying what day it is?
(there is a hint on the worksheet).

Look at the ‘Cardboard Cathedral’

Task:
What is your opinion of a stone Cathedral being replaced with one made out of recycled materials? Is it disrespectful towards God to create a holy building out of ‘rubbish’?
