Good morning Class 11. Today is the last day of term and you have one whole week off - yay!

First we have to finish this week's activities.

Look at a time line showing us when the first flight's were recorded.

 

Let's look at how planes have changed over the years.

 

You are going to invent your own airplane which will fly in the future.  Think about the shape and size.  Will it be huge or just for one person?

 

 

 

Wellbeing

We started with a superhero, let's finish this week being a Superhero!

Try and tick off as many of these exercises as you can.  After you have finished, what superpowers do you feel you have now!  How does it feel being a superhero?

 

Have a fabulous half term.  Keep well and stay safe, relax and enjoy smiley

 

Thursday 11th February

Hello everyone,  I hope you are all feeling ok?

 

Let's look at a fact file about Orville and Wilbur Wright.  Then see if you can fill in the worksheet below.

 

 

See if you can use the facts to fill in the worksheet.

 

 

How did you get on making the clothes peg plane yesterday?

Today you are going to try to build a bi-plane!  

 

These are the materials you need.  You can paint it any colour.

 

This is how it should look like.

 

This is the underneath.  The money is stuck on, so the plane doesn't tip forward.

 

 

 

Wellbeing

If you are finding making your plane a bit tricky, try this simple exercise.

 

How about having a game?  This is a good game for practicing your memory skills.  Watch the video and have a go with your family.  Enjoy smiley

 

 

 

 

Wednesday 10th February

 

Good morning Class 11.  It is very cold today, so make sure you wrap up warm if you are brave enough to go outside!

 

This is a video of the original old film showing the Wright Brothers flying their planes.  Can you see that their plane has two wings,  one under the other!  Very different to the planes we have now!

 

 

You are going to have a go at making one of these planes.  You will need a clothes peg, some wooden lolly sticks, glue and paint.

 

 

Wellbeing

 

You need a packet of M&M's for this task.  Perhaps ask a family member to buy a packet for you the next time they go shopping if you haven't got any in the house.  Perhaps you can play it another time.  You can always discuss your feelings with a family member too.

 

Tuesday 9th February

 

Morning all how are you all doing?

Today we are going to watch a cartoon video all about the Wright Brothers. 

Here is a picture of the Wright Brothers first airplane for you to colour.

 

Here is the link if you would like to print it out.

 

 

What is different about the Wright brother's plane to the ones we now have?  Can you name 3 differences?

 

 

 

Wellbeing

 

Sometimes we all have more than one emotion during the day and that's ok.  We might feel grumpy when we wake up, but after breakfast we might feel happy, then later we might become anxious but these emotions don't usually last long.  Can you find all the different emotions to fit in the squares!

 

Keep a diary for today to see how many different emotions you have had during the day.

 

Hope you enjoyed learning more about the Wright Brothers.  If you have coloured in the picture or filled in the Emotions quiz, we would love to see your efforts.  Take a picture and post onto our google Classroom page.

Have a terrific Tuesday :-)

Monday 8th February

 

Hello everyone.  Hope you all had a lovely weekend and ready to start another week of learning.

Last week we found out all about Alexander Graham Bell.

This week the inventors we are going to learn about are - The Wright Brothers.  Any idea what they invented?  Let's have a look and see if you can work it out!

 

 

Did you guess?  So, this week we will learn about the brothers who flew the first airplane.

 

 

 

Wellbeing

Let's kick off the week with a Joe Wickes exercise class.  He is dressed up as Spiderman - if you have any costumes perhaps you would like to join him.  Hope this energises you, ready for the day!

 

If you look at the Express Yourself calendar at the top of the page, today's task is to draw yourself as a Superhero!  Who are you going to be, what are your super powers?  

It would be great if you can take a picture and post it on our Google Classroom page.

Have a     day!

Friday 5th February

 

Good morning everyone.  It's Friday again!  The weeks are flying past, hopefully it won't be long before we are back in school.

 

Today we are going to recap on all the information we have learned about Alexander Graham Bell.  There is a quiz at the end of the book, so listen very carefully!

 

Let's see if you can fill in the missing words on this worksheet.

 

Here is a link if you want to print it out.

Wellbeing activity

 

Today's task on the express yourself calendar is to think about what is going on in your mind.

Use this worksheet to draw all the things that you are thinking of right now.

 

To finish off this week.  I want you to get messy!  You will need paper and paint and your hands!

Watch the video to see what you have to do.

Wordless. This clip explains very simply 'How art therapy works' without using words. Because sometimes there are no words.

Can you see the different colours the lady uses for the different emotions?  Perhaps you could do something similar.  There was also some calming music in the background.  Here is some piano music - how does that make you feel?

Have a lovely weekend with your families.  Check on the calendar to see what tasks you could do to express yourself if you have time.  See you Monday smiley

Thursday 4th February

 

Bore da everyone.

Today you are going to be making things.  You will be expressing your creativity!

Let's look at how the telephone has changed throughout time.

 

You are going to have a go at making your own telephone!  Here are two pictures you may want to use, or you might come up with your own design.

  

 

 

Wellbeing activity

It is so important to have a good nights sleep so that your body and mind can recharge its self ready for the next day.  Sometimes we have problems/worries whizzing around our brain though and that stops us from sleeping.  So, you are going to make a worry doll that might help you sleep better.

Listen to this book first. 

 

Now let's have a go.  You will need pipe cleaners, wool or thread and some glue.  You might want to add some clothes to your worry doll.  Hope you have fun making them.

Day 4 on the Express Yourself Calendar (at the top of the page) asks - if you could turn into an animal for a day what would you be?  Perhaps you can discuss this with your family and perhaps act like that animal for a few minutes.  If you decide you want to be an elephant, you could make yourself big and round and stomp about, using your arm as your trunk!  I wonder what animal you will choose! smiley

Wednesday 3rd February

 

Good morning everyone.  Hope you are fit and well, ready for some great activities.

Here is another picture to colour.  This time it's a telephone. The first one Alexander Graham Bell invented.

 

You can be Alexander Graham Bell and find an assistant, like Thomas Watson, to try out your paper cup invention.

This video explains how a string telephone works, by using sound waves.

Wellbeing activity.

 

For working so well this week, you can make yourself a rosette.  Think about all the ways you have expressed yourself and made yourself feel a better person.  Wear your rosette with pride.

Enjoy being creative and have fun. smiley

Tuesday 2nd February

Good morning everyone.  I hope you liked the book about Alexander Graham Bell.  Today you are going to watch a programme with actors playing the parts of Alexander and his family.  Hope you enjoy it.

This is a picture of Alexander for you to colour in.  You may want to print it out, so I have put the link for that underneath the picture.

What did you do to Express yourself yesterday?  Remember to have a look at the calendar at the top of the page for more ideas. 

Today's task is to dress up!

Find things to express who you are.  Raid some cupboards if you have to (please remember to ask first).

Another person who likes to dress up is Joe Wickes!.  Let's join him for a fun workout to keep our bodies healthy.  That's one of our 5 steps to Wellbeing ticked off yes.

 

Enjoy your day smiley.

Monday 1st February

 

Good morning everyone.  Hope you are all ready for a new week of learning.

 

This week we are going to learn all about Alexander Graham Bell.  Do you know what he invented?  I will give you some clues - it rings, you can talk to people on it?  Have you guessed.......the telephone!

Watch this video of a read aloud book all about Alexander Graham Bell.

 

 This week we will be doing lots of activities to help you Express Yourself.

Watch this video, it will give you lots of information and an easy activity to do at the end.

 

 

Think of all the ways you could express yourself and try one of them smiley.  If you are stuck for an idea, look at the calendar at the top of the page and try one of the tasks off there.  Have a lovely day.

Friday 29th January

 

Good morning Class 11.  It's Friday!! smiley

Today is the last day of learning about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 

We are going to move onto another inventor next week.

Today I thought you could play a game!  I will give you a link to print out the game if you like.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoy playing it.

 

This weekend is the Great Garden Birdwatch.  If you look at this link you will be able to find out all about it.   https://www.rspb.org.uk/

They are asking people to go out into their gardens and count how many birds come into your garden.  So perhaps you can use this chart and tally up the birds visiting your garden.  There are some activities to print out below.  You can fill in a tally chart of the birds you see and there is also an easy bird feeder you might want to make - perhaps you will get more birds to visit you!

 

 

 

If you want to print them out, here are the links :-

 

 

Please let us know if you did join in and what kinds of birds you saw.  I hope you enjoy.

Have a lovely weekend and 'see' you back here on Monday.

Thursday 28th January

 Bore Da everyone. All ready for another day?

 

Topic - Think about all the birthday presents you have received in your life!  Which one was your best?

 

Think of how grateful Charlie would be to be receiving 'another' birthday present! 

 

Think of all the things YOU have got to be grateful for.

Let's see if you can find everything on this scavenger list.  Have fun smiley

Wednesday 27th January

 

Good morning everyone, hope you are all feeling well and ready for some activities.

 

Topic work - Watch the video of the crazy, terrifying, scary boat ride from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

 

You are going to find words that mean the same as CRAZY to add to the worksheet.  These are called SYNONYM's - words that mean the same!

Write CRAZY in the middle shape, then find as many words that mean the same to fill the bubbles.

 

 

Wellbeing - Let's all get a little CRAZY for a few minutes dancing along to this tune!

After all that crazy dancing, you might want to calm down a bit.  Try watching this video and see if it works.  You can always come back to this video if you feel you want a few relaxing minutes to yourself.

Tuesday 26th January

 

Topic work - to make a new front cover for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  There has been lots of different ones over the years.  Here are some below :-

          

      

 

First look at the background - what colour looks best? Then your title (how big or small, all capitals or mixture, bubble writing),  finally your pictures.

 

Wellbeing activity - Watch the video, perhaps you might want to dance along - it's a catchy tune!

Think about you, there is only one of you in the world - you are unique!

Hope you enjoy your activities today.  If you can, take a picture of your work and post it onto Google Classroom, we would love to see them.

Have a lovely day smiley

Monday 25th January

 

Good morning everyone, hope you all had a relaxing weekend.

Our topic activity will be to find as many words in SCRUMDIDDLYUMPTIOUS!  You can only use the letters in the word - there are 3 'd's' and 2 'm's', so you could have MUM.

 

 

Today is St Dwynwen's Day.  The Welsh version of St Valentine's day.  Here is the story of Santes Dwynwen.

Perhaps you can make a friend cutout and write your friend's name on one and your name on another. Write down why you think he/she is kind or what kind things you could do for them.

 

Fold a piece of paper/card in half, draw the shape, make sure you draw the arm and legs on the fold line and cut out everything apart from where the arm and leg join.  When you open it out, you will have two friends holding hands with a heart in the middle - like the bottom picture.

 

Friday 22nd January

 

Hello everyone.  I can't believe it is Friday, it has flown by!

Thank goodness the rain has stopped too.  I think it's going to be chilly, so wrap up warm if you go for a walk.

 

Today's Topic work is - to make a map of Willy Wonka's factory.  You could draw the different rooms in the factory, how will you get to each room?  Will you add any more rooms?  What will you call them? Look at these examples for some ideas :-

 

 

Use a big piece of paper or card and get creative!  We would love to see your drawings if you could post on Google Classroom.

Good morning, bore da! We hope you enjoyed you activities yesterday and you had lots of fun creating lollipops. 

Here are some more activities for today.

 

In the film and book 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' Charlie had a dream. His dream was to win a golden ticket! Watch this clip when he finds one.

.

How do you think he feels when he finds the ticket? Can you think of some words?

Do you have any dreams like Charlie? You could draw them into a thought bubble like the one in the picture below. 

 

If you had any playdough left over from making your sweets yesterday, you could use that for the finger exercises. Enjoy!

Tuesday 12th January

 

Bore da! We hope you enjoyed the activities yesterday. Please check out the Google Classroom page for Class 11.  It now has  a virtual library and invention room on there!

Which video did you like best?  The original Willy Wonka or the Tom and Jerry version?

Let's try making some play dough to make Willy Wonka's candy.  Try using different colours and different shapes to make your candy.  Here are some ideas :-

 

Here is a recipe for making an easy play dough.  Add different colours/glitter if you want. You don't need to use glycerine!  Ask an adult to help with the hot water and kneading as it will be hot!

 

Can you come up with some imaginative candy names for your sweets - like these ones?

 

This is a recipe for a salt dough - you need to bake this one to harden it off.  Ask an adult to help when using the oven.

 

Good luck! We would love to see your creations if you can post them onto Google Classroom.

Monday 11th January

 

Bore da! We hope you had a lovely weekend. 

This week we will begin our new topic called 'Eureka!' The word 'Eureka' comes from the Greek language and means 'I found it!' Out topic is going to be all about discoveries and inventions!

We thought you may all be familiar with a book and film which is all about an inventor of wonderful machines, machines which make sweets and chocolates. You've guessed it! Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. 

 

This book also has links to Wales as it is written by the famous Welsh author Roald Dahl.

 

The work on the website will be practical activities linked to this theme for the next few weeks. These are the types of activities we do during the afternoons in class. The work on Google Classroom will be like our morning English and Maths lessons.
