I hope you all are keeping well in such unusual times! I have outlined below some work which the boys could do this week. However, please remember that this is only suggested work and as everyone’s circumstances are different, please decide for yourself how much of this work is reasonable for your own son to engage with. I will post answers to all worksheets in the coming days so the boys may check their work too. I have attached all relevant pages of the textbooks so that students may still do this work into a copybook if they do not have that particular book at home.
English Reading
Read ‘April Fools Day’ pg. 24-28 – one page per day. Read aloud multiple times to encourage fluency.

Spellings

Along with a scanned copy of the book, I have attached my spellings ‘learning template’ to help too.

S.E.S.E.
Discuss the signs of spring. We painted Cherry Blossom Trees a few weeks ago – have the students noticed any coming into bloom outside?
Discuss the planting of seeds and how a plant needs soil, light and water to grow. Discuss how seeds are planted in soil, then sprout, become a seedling, then a small plant and then an adult plant. Perhaps you could plant some seeds at home this week!
I have attached a worksheet on this content. It is not from a book that the students have but you may like to talk through it with them.
Music
The music program we use in school is called Dabbledoo. It is very interactive and fun. They have granted free parent access for our school to some of their resources by following this link
P.E.
Hopefully the boys are getting outside in the fresh air (in between the rain showers!) but here is a like to a series of 10 minute guided exercise lessons for kids… fun for adults too though!!
