Puffins Week 1: 4th Jan '21

Puffin's Virtual Learning Area
Spring 2021
 
Crime & Punishment
 

Sadly, as you will all be aware, we have gone into another lockdown. However, we are  prepared for every eventuality so each week your child's learning will be uploaded ready to be complete at home.

Our topic this half term is one of my favourites 'Crime and Punishment'. Please use the knowledge organiser to help support you with any topic work. Our science topic is 'Properties & Changes of Materials' and I have included an additional knowledge organiser to support you with your learning. As always, there is no expectation to complete all the activities for the week. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PRINT MOST OF THE ACTIVITIES. For the majority of the time in Puffins, children will often complete activities directly on to paper so we would like them to do the same at home.  Once activities are completed, please could you upload them to your online Dojo portfolio. 

Above all else, please make sure you are reading daily with your child. If you don't have access to a range of reading materials, we have a class login for Oxford Owl which offers a range of ebooks for all ages and levels. Please click on the link below and enter the password.

 Obviously, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me on dojo and I will do my best to help you in anyway I can. Thank you for your support in these tricky times. It really is appreciated.

 Stay safe, 

Mrs Fisher

Today we will be Multiplying 2 digits by 1. Go through each step on the PPT , making sure it is on a slide show format and then complete the appropriate chilli challenge for you. You do not need to print the activities off as you can do them directly onto paper like you would do at school.

Topic - History
Today is our first topic lesson and we will be exploring the broad trends of crime and punishment from the Romans to the 21st century. Read the information on the PPT. I know there is a lot of information but this is also helping your reading skills. Cut out the sorting cards or have a go at drawing the pictures which we would usually do in class. Can you match the crime to its time period, the way it was detected and how it was punished?
