Ms Carty 4th class May 11 - 15th

Hi girls,

I hope you're all keeping well, making memories and having fun with your family. I know it is hard to keep motivated to do school work without your friends and teachers so this week I want to see you all getting CREATIVE and having FUN.

Everything for this week will be found on this page!

Have a great week,

Ms Carty

English

Below is a link to the first chapter of Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone read by Daniel Radcliffe who plays the character of Harry Potter in the films.

Each week there'll be different characters reading a chapter, listen to the first chapter this week and complete the challenge below.

As a class I would like us to all listen to the first chapter together this week.If you have the book please take it out and follow it while he reads it. (I know my reading group have read this but you will enjoy the challenges and collecting house points and how cool is it to hear THE Harry Potter read it for you)

CHALLENGE

Your task is to collect as many house points as you can throughout the challenges I set each week just like they do in the book. It is up to you to record them in your hourglass. Your hourglass can be any container – a bottle, a jar, a box. Every time you earn a house point, cut out a little square or circle of paper or card – colour it in with your house colour (you choose)– and then put it into your hourglass. You can email me your answers to the challenges below. Have fun!

Your first challenge after you listen to the chapter is to....

1. Write down which character is your favourite so far and write a short description of them. This mini-challenge is worth 2 house points.
2. Draw Professor McGonagall as a cat, sitting on the wall outside number 4, Privet Drive. This mini-challenge is worth 1 house point.
3. Write about yourself: Albus Dumbledore likes sherbet lemons. Write down your favourite treat, and try to describe why you like it.This mini-challenge is worth 3 house point.
4. Prediction time! This is where you guess what might happen later in the book. Write down whether you think the Dursleys will be nice to Harry Potter? This mini-challenge is worth 1 house point
   

You can complete this Quiz also when you finish the above :)

SESE - History

For History, I want you to make a Covid 19 time capsule. I am going to make one too and I look forward to opening it in years to come when this is History. You don't have to show anyone what you write you can make it and then hide it in a safe place in your home.

Here's how to make one and what to include:

• Get a shoebox or any container like it. Design it and include your name and date on it.
• Mindfulness hand - Trace you hand onto paper and inside your hand include words on how you feel and colourful designs.
• Safe at home - Draw pictures of what you are doing to stay safe at home. Write two things that you like the most about being safe at home and at two things that you are most looking forward to at the bottom of the page.
• Interview - Interview your parents/guardians. Write the following questions out on paper and their answers to include in the box. Questions: How many days have you been at home? How are you feeling? 3. What has been the bieest change for you? 4. What are you thankful for? 5. What are you most looking forward to doing? 6. What has been your favourite moment?
• Letter to myself: Title this page 'Letter to myself' and write a letter to your future self. It might include what you are looking forward to, what you miss, how you are feeling, what changes you have seen during this time. Don't forget to include dates.
• History in the Making - We are living through history. Take a look at some newspapers in your home, Cut out some articles or record some of the headlines. If you don't have newspapers than you could google some headlines and include them. Don't forget to include dates.

Music

This week we are going to listen to a song and learn a new dance to it. Some of you might know it - it's called 'Roar' by Katy Perry. The message in it is about being brave. Just like all of you are being during this time. Have fun with it and get your family to join in. :)
