We hope you are all well. Please remember as you go about completing this home learning that our priority is reading, writing and maths so use your time to complete the tasks set for those. Pick and choose from the other subjects e.g. science, music and art; there is no expectation to complete them all.

Science (2 weeks)
This week, we would like you to plan and complete a fact file on Worms! You can use the internet and books to support your research.
Here are a couple of websites you could use to complete your research:

Family Science Activity – Friday 19th June 2020
Balloon Car Racers
https://www.rigb.org/families/experimental/balloon-car-racers – to watch the video
The activity – Make cars which are propelled by balloon power.
ExpeRiment with designs and see what factors affect how fast or how far your car goes.
Learn how a balloon car works just like a rocket.
https://www.rigb.org/docs/ballooncarracers_infosheet_1_1.pdf – to view the information sheet
What to do:
- Make a balloon car based on the instructions Mark gives in the video.
- Decide how you will judge what makes a ‘good’ car – is it how far it goes or how fast it goes?
- Investigate what happens if you have bigger or smaller wheels (you can use other types of lids or make wheels from cardboard and use blu-tac or glue to attach them to the kebab skewers).
- Investigate what happens if you change the design of your car in other ways – you can watch the video again for inspiration for other designs.
Going further challenge:
- Measure how far your car travels using a tape measure.
- Time how fast your car travels ½ a metre – would double the speed be the time that your car would travel 1 metre? Test it out.
- You can find the speed of your car in metres per second using a stopclock and a tape measure: Measure the distance the car travels (in metres) then dividing that distance by the time it took to travel (in seconds).
Computing
Please go onto www.hourofcode.com/uk Please complete your own Worm World on scratch on the ‘Imagine a World’ task using the knowledge that you now have from completing your research on Worms. It would be lovely to see some of these, so please feel free to send a photo or link to our class email!
Music
Week 4- Cat and Duck
Listen to this short piece of music and find a picture of a clarinet
Close your eyes and imagine the cat prowling around.
Can you prowl around like a cat hunting?
Now listen to this short piece of music and find a picture of an oboe.
How does the duck move differently to the cat?
Art
Art Challenge Feast Days
We have two important Feast Days in our Church calendar for June. The 19th June is the Feast of the Sacred Heart and 29th June is the Feast Day of St Peter and St Paul.
For your art challenge this week I would you to do a creation linked to either of these Feast Days.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus is an object of devotion and always falls 19 days after Pentecost.
As you know, St Peter was given the ‘keys to heaven’ by Jesus and was our first Pope and in Matthew Ch16v18 Jesus said ‘And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church.’ He is also the Patron St of fishermen. St Paul changed from not believing in Christianity to spreading the word through the letters that he wrote. Naturally, he is the Patron St of writers.
Ideas to inspire you:
Alternatively, you could do artwork to do with the Patron St that you have been linked to in school (England St George; Scotland St Andrew; Ireland St Patrick: Wales St David), or the Patron St of your home country.
However, if this doesn’t appeal to you, then you can still send any other art work to me and I will post that on the Blog too.
Please email your artwork to me:
n.pearson@stpeterswaterlooville.hants.sch.uk
Thank you.
