Homework help!

Hello everyone.

Here's a quick reminder of half term's homework challenge, plus some places you could find some information.

Your project this half term is to research about one of the Tudor monarchs: Henry VII, Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I or Elizabeth I.

Amongst other facts, you could find out the following information:
-       When were they were born?
-       Where were they were born?
-       Who were their parents?
-       How old were they when they came to the throne?
-       Did they have any children?
-       What kind of monarch were they? Strong? Weak? Popular? Unpopular?
-       What was the country like under their rule?


Present the information however you like and be prepared to share your learning with the rest of the class. Use pictures, maps, diagrams, photos or anything else you can think of to make it well-presented.

These websites may be useful:

- Woodlands website, clearly written;
- Historic Palaces, lots about Henry VIII;
- The Tudors, tells you about life in England at the time;
- superbrainybeans, links to other websites with some games;
- National Geographic, some general information about the Tudors.

Good luck and remember to ask me any questions if you get stuck. I will try to reply as soon as I can!

Rain poems

Here are a couple of the rain poems you wrote last week. By posting them on the blog, I am hoping it makes the rain go away for a few days!



Rain

The rain is drumming on the rooftops
Dripping on the ground
Shooting from the clouds that are in the beautiful blue sky
Hammering with hail
Tumbling off the bumpy roof.

I love rain.
So should you.

By Faith


Pitter Patter

I go pitter patter, pitter patter.
I flow in streams.
I make you wet and cold.
What am I?

An umbrella shields me from you.
I hammer on your roof.
I make shimmering puddles.
What am I?

Hello everyone.

Today is Safer Internet Day. We will be exploring the 'ThinkUKnow' website today to learn about how to use the internet safely. This is the website.

The Safer Internet Day website also has a TV channel (here) which you can watch with programmes specially for you. Unfortunately the programme for KS2 is on when we have Gymnastics, but you can catch it again at 5.30pm (KS1 is on at 5.00pm - see the link for the full schedule).




Have a great day and, most importantly, stay safe on the internet!
