Electricity

Testbase Electricity

Work through the questions about electricity. You can find the answers are at the end of the document.

You can use the internet to help you.

Flooding

Create a ‘Flood Plan’ for your family (a bit like the fire evacuation plans you have talked about in the past when firemen have come to visit the school).

Think about:
– What you would do in preparation for a flood.
– Would you have a ‘flood kit’?
– What would you do during a flood?

You can include text and images.

Or

A Thousand Steps

How many different ways can you complete a thousand steps? Can you think of a new way each day? Try these to get started: walking, jogging on the spot, marching, hopping from foot to foot, side-stepping, backwards and forwards in a square, galloping.

Challenge: Complete a thousand steps a day, every day for 10 days!

Hair

Practise sketching hair. You can sketch your own hair by looking in a mirror or sketch somebody else’s.

Use the document for guidance.

Online:

There are plenty of tutorials available online. Here is just one example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKuZfeeNNBM (don’t worry if you don’t have all of the equipment – a pencil is just fine).

You have a choice of 5 projects to carry out over the next few weeks. You have been asked to design and make one of the following.

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

This week’s options have been highlighted. The tasks for the next few weeks are available to see how the task progresses.

Each ‘project’ is also available in its own document in a larger font.

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

Activity 1:

Watch Episode 2: Who’s Magnus? www.thinkuknow.co.uk/8_10/watch/.

Answer the questions on the document.

Activity 2: What is OK to share?

Work through the activity sheet, answering questions about what is and is not okay to share.

Use kitchen utensils to make a musical instrument or a mini band / orchestra.

Can you ‘play’ a tune?

You may like to use it on Thursday at 8pm when we clap for the keyworkers!

Revise the colours using the PPT (this may be new to some of you).

Colour the rainbow. If you can’t print the template, you can draw your own and label the colours in French. If you haven’t got colouring pens or pencils, please write the French and English words.

Explore the following statement:

It is better to worship in a Cathedral or Church because it is ‘the House of God’.

Do you agree or disagree? Explain your thinking.

You may want to think about how we worship at school or the current lockdown that we are all experiencing. Think about all the features of a church that you looked at last week.
