Over the next few weeks you will continue to learn about influential people during the Victorian times.

Isambard Kingdom Brunel

Watch this clip all about his life and his successes ...

Make a mind map of everything you have learnt so far.

Now make a fact file using headings, subheadings, key facts and information and technical words.

Use this template as an example of what your fact file will look like. Of course, you could use your own imagination and create your own project on him!

Friday 17th April 2020

Now that you have learnt about Isambard Kingdom Brunel, we would like you to choose one of his famous designs to build yourself.

Watch this clip to remind yourself of why he was famous and what for.

Use this website to help consolidate what you have learnt about Brunel. We will revisit this topic in a few weeks, so the more you know now, the more you will remember next time!

Week 2

Monday 20th April 2020

LI: Recall events in the life of a historical person.

Read the information about Brunel. You will need to recall each event in his life so you might want to make notes.

Now order the events in his life. You can use the pictures provided or draw your own.

Can you complete the missing information to complete the fact    sheet?

It's going to be a warm sunny day, get outside for PE today if it is safe to do so! You could even make one in your front room! (Ask your parents first!)

Make your own obstacle course. Time yourself to see how long it takes to complete it. Ask your brother, sister, mum or dad to try to beat your time. Or you could attempt to beat your own time.

Here are a few ideas for inspiration ...

Let's think back to our Mediterranean leaning. Can you remember which part Morocco is in?

You will be making some Moroccan art today!

Here are some websites to support your ideas.

Friday 24th April

LI: Recall facts about Morocco.

Use the information you looked at yesterday on Morocco. Make a fact file which includes the things you have read or researched.

If you need more research on the country then here are some more websites and documents ..

Set out your fact file with headings, sub headings (making sure you underline), pictures, and make it colourful so I will be happy to read it!

You may wish to set it out like this .. (These are just examples of what your might look like)

Week 3

Thursday 26th March 2020

Here is an art lesson based around the influential Victorian artist, William Morris. Become familiar with his work by looking through the document. You may have seen some of his designs before or at least similar ones. They tend to be repeating patterns.

Could you create a William Morris art piece of your own?

We would love to see it!

Dr Barnardo Research Activity

Use the internet, non fiction books or ask your family to research the following information about Dr Barnardo and his important work. (You may know some of these questions already! Let's see what you can recall)

BBC Bitesize is a great way to recap topics already taught. Here are 5 online videos and games for you to work through.

• Watch the videos
• make notes of key facts and information, including key words
• complete the online activity after each video (you will find this if you scroll down under the video clip).

Your task:

Make a board game for you and your family to play. I have given you some examples here for ideas.

It must include the digestive system and could be quite fun racing to the loo!

Monday 30th March 2020

Have a look at the Eatwell guide to familiarise yourself with all the different food types.

• Make notes on each food type - what sort of food is included? what does it give your body? etc.
• Make your own plate of food using the food types.
• Draw and label your plate of food with all the things it provides.

Work through these worksheets to show what you have remembered about each food group.

You can now make a balanced lunch or dinner for your family (Make sure an adult helps you in the kitchen!)

4. Design your invention with a description of how it works.

Here is an example of how you might like to set it out ...

You are going to continue your work from earlier in the year on coding. This website will give you plenty of chance to practise coding and build your skill levels. Please don't rush through the games, you will be set tasks throughout the next few weeks.
