Good morning, Discoverers,

I hope that you have a wonderful night’s sleep 😀

I am impressed with how well you are doing, when learning about angles.

Today, you are going to see if you agree with Ron’s thinking, and then try to spot the odd one out.

Look carefully at the evenly spaced dots on the second question, this will help you to answer.

Today, we are going to find out which plants bees prefer.

One way to help prevent bees from dying, is to make sure that there are enough of the plants they need.

Here is a website, which may help you to identify different plants: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/blog/2019/03/wildflowers-for-bees/ 

Today, I would like you to write a list of the plants that you have spotted bees using.

If you struggle to identify the plant, you could draw it or send me a picture, so we can figure it out together.

Today, you are going to draw the fish that you chose to write about yesterday.

Use the video from Monday, to help you remember the key parts, and use the picture on yesterday’s website to include the finer detail.

You can use this picture in your report.

Here is the video you used on Monday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW7BFwDogh8 

Here is the website that you choose your fish from: https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/animals/fish/ 

Have a great day, 

Mrs Taylor 

Good morning, Discoverers,

I can’t believe that it is the 1st July already! Can you?

Here are the answers to Tuesday’s questions. Did you answer them all correct?

Today, we are starting to look at angles within shapes, so that you can identify if they are acute, obtuse, or right angles.

Try to answer each of the questions, and if you get suck, here is a video which may help:

Why are bees dying?

Today, we are going to try and answer this question.

I have uploaded lots of information for you.

Can you read the information, and try to summarise its key points?

After you have found the key pieces of information, tell everybody in your house, and we can start to protect bees together ?

Today in science, I would like you to research one particular fish.

Here is a website, for you to choose your fish: https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/animals/fish/ 

After you have chosen one, make notes about it, summarising its key facts.

We will use this information later in the week, when we will create a report about it.

Enjoy looking at the different types of fish, some of them are very interesting!

I hope that you all have a lovely day, 

Mrs Taylor 

Good morning, Discoverers,

How are you all feeling today?

In maths, we are continuing to learn about angles.

Use what you learned yesterday, to help you figure out who is correct in today’s first question.

For your second question, you need to add together the largest acute angle (less than 90 degrees) and the smallest obtuse angle (bigger than 90 degrees).

Today in English, we are learning more about bees.

I have uploaded some information for you, which explains a little bit about why bees are so important.

Did you know that without bees, we wouldn’t have around a third of the foods that we eat, including apples and strawberries?

Today, I would like you to look at the list of foods and write down all of the ones that you eat, then tell me how many foods you wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for bees pollinating them.

Yesterday, in science, you drew and labelled a fish.

Today, you are going to learn some fun facts about them.

Here is a website with many facts for you to learn: https://www.coolkidfacts.com/fish-facts/ 

I have also added a picture of some more facts that aren’t covered on the website.

It would be great if you could compile the most interesting facts, and teach somebody in your home about them.

Did they already know any of your facts?

Have a great day everybody,

Mrs Taylor
