Fancy doing something different this week? Have a look at some of the

ideas below.

http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob

Children's book author and illustrator, Rob Biddulph is running draw-along

videos which you can follow along to. The subjects include some

characters from his books, like sausage dogs along with dinosaurs,

aliens, Sonic the hedgehog and even self-portraits.

You can watch the stage version of the Midnight Gang by David Walliams

online. Remember to check with an adult first!

Letter Scavenger Hunt- ask someone from your household to give you a

random letter of the alphabet. Can you find 5 items in your house

beginning with that letter? Perhaps you can challenge someone in your

house to a race against the clock? Who is the quickest in your family to

find 5 items the quickest?

Monday – ScienceL.O. To understand the life cycle of a flowering plant.

Watch the video

Today, we are going to find out about the lifecycle of a plant.

Like all other living things, plants start small. They grow and grow and when they are fully grown, they make plants of their own. We call this a life cycle because it happens over and over again.

Can you think of any life cycles you already know?

You might have learnt about the lifecycle of a frog or a butterfly before!

There are five stages in a plant’s life cycle. Watch the video to find out more

Monday – ScienceL.O. To understand the life cycle of a flowering plant.

Your challenge!

Create your own life cycle of plant. • You can draw your own – you could use a circle

split into 5 sections or draw a flow chart. • You can print off the layout on the website and cut

and stick the different parts in the right place.

Meet it: Use the keywords from above and add a picture to show what the plant looks like at each stage.

Beat it: Include a sentence to describe what is happening in each stage.

Smash it: Use scientific vocabulary in your explanation e.g. style, stigma, anther, pollen

Weather

In most countries, there is lots of different weather. In the summer, it might be hot and sunny. In the winter, it might be cold and snowy.

However, in some countries, the weather doesn’t change very much. It is either nearly always hot or nearly always cold.

What is the difference between weather and climate?

What is the weather like in our country?

Weather is the day to day changes that we see happen. So, it can be sunny one day and rainy the next.

Climate is the average weather usually taken over 30 years for a particular place.

Countries have different types of ‘climate’ around the world; they can be hot or cold.

Is it hot / cold / changeable?

What would you like our weather to be like?

Wednesday - PSHEL.O. To gain an understanding of how to budget.

What does it mean to spend money? What different things can you think of that we have to spend money on?

What does it mean to save money? What can you think of that we might save money for?

SPEND

SAVE25

Wednesday - PSHEL.O. To gain an understanding of how to budget.

We often save money when we want to buy special things that are more expensive.

We might save up for a new toy or a day trip. Adults might save up for a holiday or to redecorate the house.

We spend money on things that we need. If we have money left over, we can spend it on things that we would like to have but don’t need.

Adults have to spend money on important things like food, bills and petrol for the car.We can only spend the money we have and if we want or need something more expensive, we have to save up.

Before we can spend money we need to know how much money we have ‘coming in’ – this is called income.

26

Wednesday - PSHEL.O. To gain an understanding of how to budget.

Harold has made a list of the money he has coming in (his income) and the things he needs to spend his money on.

Use a calculator to find out what Harold’s income is.

He must spend the money on pens and pencils and a present for Kiki’s birthday.

How much does he have left to spend on what he would like?

Write your answer down ready to check it on the next slide

27

Wednesday - PSHEL.O. To gain an understanding of how to budget.

AnswerHarold’s income is £55. He must spend £10 on the things that he needs.He has £45 left to spend on things that he wants.

He could buy a poster and a new book and have lots of money left over or he could spend all of his money on a goldfish tank.

Harold really wants the LEGO set. What can he do?

He has £5 pocket money a week. How long would it take him to save up?

28

Wednesday - PSHEL.O. To gain an understanding of how to budget.

Harold had to save up for a long time to buy his LEGO set. 15 weeks!!

When we save up to buy something, it makes us feel brilliant when we can finally afford it.

Thanks for helping me to work out my budget and what I could afford!
