This week, Miss Whitney and Miss Samson have been filming videos for you all! You will now see our faces on a weekly basis on your home learning page :)
Miss Whitney will be filming short stories and these will be under the reading section of this page. These stories tend to have shocking twists at the end - see if you can figure out what the twisted tail is! While Miss Samson is curious to find out what you are all reading at the moment! Enjoy all!

Topic Session
We would love to see your work!
The rest of this week's topic tasks are more creative and are more of a 'Pick and Mix' format rather than a set daily task. This means that you can choose which activity you would like to complete on a daily basis. Below are this week's activities for you. Enjoy!
RE
Record anything that you have learnt this term about our topic - what would Jesus do? You could create a poster, create a game, create an information leaflet or simply create a mind map! It is up to you :)
Music
Create your own guitar! You could do this by using an empty tissue box with rubber bands. Pull the strings carefully and listen to the acoustics. Can you change them? Can you alter the pitch?
Science
See the process of water purification firsthand. Layer coffee filters, sand, and gravel in the bottom of an empty cup punched with holes. Place the cup in an empty jar, pour in dirty water (could get it from a walk or create your own with stuff from the kitchen cupboards), and watch what happens. Can you separate the mixture? What was tricky about this? Does anything happen to any of the materials in the mixture? Do they change?

Online Safety
During school closures, children might be spending more time online and on devices. To help support you and your child during this time, we have put together some useful resources to educate them about how to stay safe whilst using the internet. We teach our children the SMART rules at Broadoak Primary so you may also wish to discuss these with your child:
S - Keep SAFE
Don't give out your personal information when you are online.
This includes your name, email address, phone number and passwords.
M - Don’t MEET up
Never meet up with someone you only know online, this can be dangerous.
People you have been talking to online are still strangers, even if you have been talking to them for a long time.
A - ACCEPTING emails, files, pictures or messages can be dangerous
Don't accept emails, messages, or open files, pictures or texts from people you don't know.
R - RELIABLE
Not all people are reliable, they might not be who they say they are.
Always check information with someone who knows, books or other websites.
T - TELL Someone
Always tell a parent, carer, friend or trusted adult if you feel uncomfortable or worried.
Well-being
Below are your Pick 'n' Mix activities for the week. Have fun completing them!

Are holidays important?
Since March 17th, people in the UK were only allowed to travel to other countries if the journey was essential. Anyone who returned to the UK was also required to self-isolate at home for 14 days. A new traffic light system, recently launched, means countries have been given a green, amber or red light depending on the number of coronavirus cases there, allowing people to potentially have a summer holiday this year. All passengers have to wear face coverings on planes and ferries.
Listen, think, share
Look at this week’s poster and talk about your experiences of holidays. Have you ever been on holiday? If you have, where did you go? If not, talk about where you might like to go, or any trips or visits you have particularly enjoyed. If you had to describe what you think a holiday is to someone, how might you describe it? Think about how our definitions about what a holiday is may be different depending on our own experiences.
Have you missed being able to travel or go to different places during the lockdown period? Think about some of the reasons that we think people choose to go on holiday.
Some people much prefer spending spare time at home rather than going on holiday. Which do you prefer? Talk about your reasons.
Read through the information found on the assembly resource showing a timeline of the recent restrictions and changes.
Talk through the reasons why we have these changes and rules in current times. Watch this week’s useful video below, which talks through some of the recent changes to travel. Are you pleased that people are able to travel more now?
Reflection For some, holidays can be a chance to escape from everyday pressures in our lives. For others, a rest from work and having the time to do things they enjoy is just the break they need. We are all different and have different ways to relax.

Do you need to travel to have a holiday?
Listen, think, share
Think about holiday destinations. What countries do you hear people often visit? What types of places e.g. the coast, mountains, campsites? Make a list.
How do people get to the holiday destinations you listed? Discuss modes of transport they may use e.g. car, train, aeroplane, ferry, bus. Does where the holiday destination is, affect your travel choices e.g. if you were travelling abroad, would going in an aeroplane be better? Would it ever be possible to walk to a holiday destination?
Why do you think people go on holiday? If you have been on holiday before, why did you go? Look at resource 2, which shares more information about holidays and why we have them. Do we need to travel to go on holiday? Could one person’s definition of a holiday differ to another’s?
What would be your dream holiday? Where would you go? Would it involve travelling a long way or not? What activities would you do? Who would you go with? What would you need to pack? Do you think everybody enjoys holidays? Why?
Reflection
A holiday can mean different things to different people. Often it involves some travel as we enjoy a break away. However, this is not always the case and for some of us, the best holiday

Show CommentsGrace I'm so impressed that you are so motivated with your home learning and have been keeping up your music and dance lessons too! Well done, what a superstar. Not long until the summer holidays now!
Hi Alex, thanks for your comments. I'm glad you are enjoying the science experiments. My favourite was when we added bicarbonate of soda to vinegar. I loved the foam and bubbles it made! Good work with your reading, I know you are enjoying those Harry Potter books. I've just finished The Legend of Podkin One-Ear. It was amazing. I would really recommend it if you like books with lots of adventure. I've just started Bubble Boy, which is about a boy who has no immune system so he has to live in a bubble room in a hospital. It's really interesting so far. I'll let you know how I get on with it. Keep smiling!
Wow Grace, I did not know that you had been to Iceland and walked through the tectonic plates. I'm looking forward to September when you can tell me and all of 5S all about it. Can't wait to see you and hear all about your adventures!

Yo, guys, I just lost my 5th tooth during lockdown... is this crazy???
Nobody has texted for a week, so let me break the silence. Okay I've broken the silence. Carry on chatting.
G'Day, G'Day, I have probs read the equivalent of all the books in my room. If u didn't know, that is a LOT.
I am working hard at home doing my School work and really trying my best, my Guinea pigs love hearing about my work so I am lucky to be at home with my two pets all day
Hi everyone. Hope you are all well and being good for your grown-ups! I love seeing your pictures on twitter and reading your comments in the weekly feedback. Alex - how are you getting on with reading Harry Potter? I loved every book in the series when I read them. They should keep you going for a while!! This week Year 4 have challenged us to a battle on TTRockStars so get logged on before Friday 25th!! Big shout out to Tom B who is ensuring that we have nudged into the lead today (Sunday) but it's close. Let's all pitch in and smash this!!
Just watched today’s videos and I know Gabriella will love watching Miss Whitney read a story and Miss Samson explaining percentages, what a fantastic idea! Thank you so much, Gabriella will love the interaction with you both.
