Science – We are starting to learn about soil. Use the website to help you get started: https://www.soils.org.uk/young-soil-explorers. You could collect some different soil samples from you garden (if you have one) or when you are out on a walk. Copy the table attached below (WALT investigate the properties of soil) to help you compare the samples.

Art – try making an origami bird: https://www.origamiway.com/origami-birds.shtml. It would make an excellent addition to your reading challenge task.

DT – use your knowledge of unit fractions and non- unit fractions to make a fraction pizza. See the document below for some ideas.

Music – Make a soundscape. Using your voices or improvised instruments (eg saucepans or empty plastic bottles with seeds inside) make the sounds of the landscape at the beginning of ‘The Tin Forest’.  ‘There was once a wide windswept place’ ….. and then you could try to make the sounds for the living forest, full of life at the end of the story.

History - on Friday it is VE Day. Use this website to find out more and then try some of the resources attached below. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/history-ks2-ve-day/z7xtmfr
