Maple Class home learning Friday 10th July 2020

Spelling – can you recall all the alternative words we’ve looked at this week? Pick some of the words and practise spelling them out loud, or writing them down. Can you ask a grown up to test you on some of the words? How many can you remember?

English – complete your Purple Mash story today. Can you add a front cover title page? And a back cover with a blurb. Save them in the Maple folder so I can have a read too.

Maths – today write your own ‘Plenty of Pens’ problem. What would you buy from the stationary shop? How much would each item cost?

Theme – this week we are exploring Mexican arts and crafts. Can you:

Make your own sombrero using a paper plate and cup? Decorate it and make it as colourful as possible.
Make your own maracas and perform a tune.
Make a piñata with coloured paper and a cup. Ask a grown up for some sweet treats to put inside, then hang it up and bat it until the sweets fall.
Luchadors are Mexican wrestlers that wear bright and colorful masks to keep their identity a secret – make your own mask.
Explore the artwork of Frida Kahlo and try to recreate your own painting or drawing in her style.
Explore the sculptures of Sebastián and recreate your own at home with Lego or junk modelling materials.
Decorate an Aztec mask or pattern on Purple Mash (Home-Topics-Aztecs-Paint Projects).

Thank you, Mrs Keeler.
