I heard the wind above me in the sails. I remember thinking, this is silly, you haven’t got your safety harness on, you haven’t got your life jacket on. You shouldn’t be doing this. Then the boat veered violently and I was thrown sideways. I had no time to grab the guard-rail. I was in the cold of the sea before I could even open my mouth to scream.

What do you think the setting of this book is?

What do you think this story might be about?

Cornerstones Curriculum Spring Term 2 – Class 4

Welcome back Class 4; I hope that you are all fit and well and have had a wonderful, relaxing Half Term – we only have 5 weeks in this term with lots of amazing things to learn and achieve. As you are all aware, the Spring Term has been disrupted with our country being in Lockdown, but we here at Nettlesworth will continue with our online learning through DB Primary and the Class 4 Activity page on the school’s website. Please remember that we will also be participating in daily TEAMS sessions for 15 minutes starting at 9:45am each day.

During the Spring 2nd half term in Class 4, we are looking forward to learning about our next topic – Beast Creator!

Arachnids, insects, molluscs and myriapods. Minibeasts come in all shapes and sizes!
This half term, we’ll handle a range of minibeasts and small creatures. Taking photographs, making notes and listening carefully to expert explanations will help us to understand how minibeasts move, what they eat and where they live. Using what we’ve learned, we’ll write an interesting minibeast report. Using wood, stones, garden canes and other natural materials, we’ll create ‘minibeast hotels’ and write adverts to attract minibeasts to stay in them!

As well as our topic, the children will develop Local Fieldwork in Geography, enhance their understanding of Hinduism in RE, as well as enhancing our Literacy and Numeracy skills.

Spellings will be issued on Wednesdays as part of our SPAG lesson. There will be a sentence structure lesson based on their spellings on Mondays. We are trying to encourage our children to read daily, asking parents / carers to give a brief comment in their reading diary. Please ensure that your child accesses their Lexia and TT Rockstars daily as part of their Home Learning.

I will be uploading all Home Learning Tasks onto DB Primary – please try to encourage your child to upload their work onto their MY WORK section on DB Primary where it can be viewed, marked and feedback given by myself and other members of staff. I will also upload all Home Learning Tasks onto our Class page on the school website. Please find your table’s activities, print them out and complete.

Please ensure that your child completes their Home Learning tasks daily in-order for marking and feedback to occur.

If you need school to print out your Home Learning tasks, please let me know via email – we can even deliver them to you if necessary.

Please feel free to contact me with any queries; I genuinely believe that a happy child is the result of outstanding home / school links. Once again, thank you for your continuing support in these unprecedented times.

Stay safe

We all know the benefits of being physically active. When times are tough and it is difficult to get outdoors, it can be quite tricky to come up with ideas to keep occupied and active. With modern technology, there are numerous websites available to support physical activity at home; not just for children, but for the whole family. Most activities only take around 5-30 minutes to complete, so it can fit easily into the day.

In Literacy, we will be continuing our lessons on the African story, ‘Journey to Jo’burg’.

“We must get Mma, or Dineo is going to die!”

Naledi and Tiro have made their way to Johannesburg in search for their mother. They know that their baby sister is very ill, and believe that only their Mma can save her from deteriorating. The only problem is, the two children – Naledi and Tiro – did not tell their Grandma (Nono) of their plan!

Nono is worried sick. She has sent a search party to check the neighbouring villages in pursuit of the missing children – no joy though!

The worried Grandma has notified the local police, who have informed the local newspaper of the missing children. These are very dangerous times for young children wondering the streets faced with the realities of Apartheid.

YOU are the reporter. Using your planning from Tuesday, you will begin to write the main and ending sections of your Newspaper Report about the missing children.

You will concentrate on:

– The main content of the story

– Who will you Quote to back up your story?

– How many people will you quote?

– How will your Newspaper Story end?

In your tabled sections, use the writing templates, along with the ‘What are Newspapers’ Power Point to help you with the organisation of your writing. Remember, your Newspaper should be written in COLUMNS.

From 1945, there were many jobs that needed doing in the UK, and not enough native British people to do them. The UK looked to her colonies to provide skilled and unskilled workers in a range of industries from bus driving to working in hospitals. The first migrants came from Jamaica in 1948 on the ship Empire Windrush. This would be the first large-scale influx of migrants, but it would not be the last!

In 1666, Isaac Newton made a discovery about light that led him to develop his Theory of Colour, a theory that still informs our understanding of light today. He placed a prism in front of ray of light, and his observations were incredible. In Science, we will be looking at how light appears to travel in straight lines by exploring prisms and creating colour wheels.

In order to complete the practical in today’s lesson, you will need a torch and a glass prism – if you don’t have these (I’m assuming most households won’t have a glass prism) please watch the video below for Brian Cox’s explanation to Isaac Newton’s Theory.

Cornerstones Curriculum Spring Term 1 – Class 4

Happy New Year; I hope that you are all fit and well and have had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas holiday. As you are all aware, the Spring Term has been disrupted with our country going into Lockdown, but we here at Nettlesworth can’t wait to take our learning into the Virtual Age with our Home Learning. During the Spring 1^st half term in Class 4, we are looking forward to learning about our next topic – Gallery Rebels!

Colours collide, melting together on the canvas: an impression of light, a rage of red, a lobster perched on a telephone…come and find out about the bizarre and eccentric minds of the gallery rebels!

Art can be an act of rebellion. Can you change the world with a paint brush, a thought, or an idea?

Dream the dream – or show us your nightmares! What do you see? Watches melting? Wheels spinning? A shark in a box? Can you express yourself without words? Well, a picture paints a thousand of them!

Try your hand at a ‘Damien Hirst’ sculpture, exploring the weird and wonderful to create a curious treasure for the next generation. Take up your arms and fight for the cause…paintbrushes and sketch books at the ready – let’s make art!

As well as our topic, the children will develop locational knowledge in Geography, enhance their understanding of Judaism in RE, as well as enhancing our Literacy and Numeracy skills.

I will be uploading all Home Learning Tasks onto our Class page on the school website. Please find your table’s activities, print them out and complete.

Please ensure that your child completes their Home Learning tasks daily and email their work as often as possible in-order for marking and feedback to occur.

If you need school to print out your Home Learning tasks, please let me know via email – we can even deliver them to you if necessary.

Stay safe
