These are our afternoon subjects - I have added in the days that we do this subject, so you can organise yourself in the same manner - but feel free to organise your afternoons how best suits you!
MONDAY RE - this half term is all about the signs and symbols of s. We will learn what takes place at a Baptism, collect together photographs of our own Baptisms and learn all about the signs of a Catholic Baptism and what they all mean. I have added a BBC Bitesize page link which will take you to a number of lovely videos where you can watch a Baptism, listen to a Baptism story and examine what Baptism means to Christians around the world. I have added a range of activities, just choose the one that best suits your child - if you have time, maybe you could do a couple.
Christianity - KS1 Religious Education - BBC Bitesize

TUESDAY -Science - this unit is all about Materials - it covers what an material is, what objects are made from and whether a material will float or sink. This is a six week programme - you can either start from the beginning of the unit, or login into the lesson from the week that your child is off - off Week 2, then go to Lesson 2. It is up to you, it will all act as key learning on this important topic.

WEDNESDAY - Art - This half term we will focus on drawing. We will think about what it means to be 'good' at drawing. We will experiment with mark making in our sketch book and use a variety of media; pencils, crayons, pastels, felt tips and chalk to begin to explore the different outcomes these tools create. We will be thinking all about how colours can make us feel. We will begin to learn about the properties of colour and how to select colours for our art to express an emotion. As we only have Art once a week, please feel free to pick the session that most interests your child.

Thursday -Topic - this unit is all about our local area, looking at maps, learning how to read keys and finding out as much as we can about the area we live in. It would be lovely if the children could find out some information about Blackpool, or the street that they live on. If this is a bit tricky with you working, or you need a little video for the children to watch and an activity to do - I have added an Oak Academy unit on the United Kingdom, with a focus on London as our capital city.

Friday - PSHE This half term we will explore a new topic of friendships. We will discuss the qualities of a good friend and also how our actions can impact others. We will then think about acts of kindness that we can do for others. We will look at a range of scenarios that commonly occur amongst friends and discuss whether they are fair or unfair. We will then consider how we can act fairly to everyone and not just our close friends.
