Times Table Rock Stars
Can you beat your score from last week?
White Rose Maths is a great website! They have set up a home learning section with videos and activities linked to the objectives for each year group. The objectives don’t always match the tasks that I have set on Mathletics but may be an excellent revision activity or some new learning that we haven’t yet covered in school. Visit the website link below and click on the appropriate year group on the right.

Week 1 Review

I can see that lots of you have been using Reading Eggs during this first week at home which is great!

• Topic project 1– This work links to the topic you would have been completing in school. Woodland-Class-Quest-Project-SPRING-TERM-2.docx
• Numeracy objectives – The tasks set on Mathletics by your teacher will link to these objectives. Please feel free to go onto other areas of Mathletics also. Woodland-Numeracy-coverage-Spring-T-2-notes-2.docx
During the school closure, we would like you to complete some home learning. Depending on individual family circumstances, your capacity to do this may vary e.g. parent work commitments etc. Our advice would be to try to aim for about 2 hours of home learning each day. This ideally would be broken up into smaller chunks of time e.g. half an hour at a time. We do not want to put pressure on families during this already stressful and uncertain times so please do what you can. Teachers will be updating their class pages weekly so please check this regularly. Thank you for your continued support.
Curriculum Letter for Woodland – Jan 2020
Da Vinci’s Parachute
This term in Woodland Class we are learning all about Inventors. Da Vinci is thought of as one of the greatest inventors of all time, as well as an amazing artist. Most of his inventions were not actually made or tested by him. We had a go at creating a parachute based on Da Vinci’s design. We then tested it out and made design adjustments.
The Wright Brothers
We compared the Wright Brother’s gliders with Da Vinci’s gliders then made different paper plane designs and tested them.

Clay Models
In Woodland Class we have been enjoying the book Beegu. In the book, Beegu was lonely and wanted to find some friends so we created Aliens that could be friends with him. We then created models of our aliens using clay.
Sunset Pictures
Using a colour wash we have created sunset pictures in the same style as the illustrations in Beegu.
Sensory Spelling in Woodland Class
The children enjoy learning their spellings in different ways.
