KS2 Home learning tasks Weeks 17 and 18 Dear KS2 children, This is the last learning grid of this school year. It is crazy how time flies and how much you have achieved during these last few challenging months. You have definitely proven that each and every one of you is truly amazing! Every week, you amazed us, teachers, with your hard work and perseverance. In our opinion, at KCS, it is the children who are the true heroes of this pandemic. You have been patient and resilient, you have smiled at difficult times and showed your bravest face every day. Together we achieved many things this year; we moved to a new building, Murray House, and we made it look spectacular. We filled it with amazing learning, love and most importantly laughter. We worked together as a team, we adapted ourselves to challenging situations each day and we learned how to enjoy every moment regardless of the difficulties. We must admit, at times, it has been challenging, but together we survived it. We looked after one another and kept going without looking back. Great work guys! It has been an absolute pleasure teaching you this year and we are really going to miss you! Parents & Carers, thank you, thank you and thank you again, for believing in us and teaching your children at home!

Dear KS2 children,

This is the last learning grid of this school year. It is crazy how time flies and

how much you have achieved during these last few challenging months. You have

definitely proven that each and every one of you is truly amazing! Every week,

you amazed us, teachers, with your hard work and perseverance. In our opinion,

at KCS, it is the children who are the true heroes of this pandemic. You have

been patient and resilient, you have smiled at difficult times and showed your

bravest face every day.

Together we achieved many things this year; we moved to a new building, Murray

House, and we made it look spectacular. We filled it with amazing learning, love

and most importantly laughter. We worked together as a team, we adapted

ourselves to challenging situations each day and we learned how to enjoy every

moment regardless of the difficulties.

We must admit, at times, it has been challenging, but together we survived it.

We looked after one another and kept going without looking back. Great work

guys! It has been an absolute pleasure teaching you this year and we are really

going to miss you!

Parents & Carers, thank you, thank you and thank you again, for believing in us

and teaching your children at home! We are aware that you had to go through

several bumps along the road, but you still made it happen. Without your

support, your children wouldn’t have made such an amazing progress!

This week we will review features of diary

writing, looking at different diary examples, and

plan and write diary entries as different

characters.

L1 Writing a Diary: When you are writing a diary

you are writing about the day in the life of a real

person or character. The diary needs to be

written from their point of view and interesting

to read. First read Diary Writing Powerpoint 1

and then return to the powerpoint slides for the

activity. At the end are some short excerpts from

Diary of a Wimpy Kid for you to enjoy.

L2 Plan a Diary as a fictional character: Today we

will be planning to write a diary entry of a day in

the life of an animal. We will be writing from the

animal’s point of view and using the planning

sheet to help you note down ideas.

L3 Write a Diary as a fictional character: Today

you will be writing a diary entry from the point of

view of an animal using all the diary features we

have covered so far.

First watch a clip about Samuel Pepys, a famous

writer who kept a daily diary. His daily diary is

how we know so much about historical events in

London in the 1600’s.

You will be writing your diary in two stages. First,

you will write a draft. Then you will go back and

review it, thinking about how to improve your

work. Then re-write the diary as a final draft.

L4 Adding interesting vocabulary to a diary: In

this lesson, we are going to revisit the features of

a diary and add vocabulary which will make your

diary writing more interesting.

Experiment: Orange FizzInstructions:Cut the orange into slices or peel separateinto sectionsDip a slice or section into the baking sodaTake a bite! As you chew, it should start tobubble in your mouth

How does it work?When acids and bases mix, you get someexciting chemistry! Oranges and othercitrus fruits are filled with citric acid. It is asafe acid, and it’s what gives oranges,lemons, and limes their sourness. Bakingsoda is a base, the opposite of an acid. It’salso safe, but doesn’t taste very good onits own, and will give you a tummy ache ifyou eat a lot of it. As the citric acid andbaking soda mix, it makes millions ofcarbon dioxide bubbles, the same gas youbreathe out, and the same one that makessoda so fizzy.Video of experiment here!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWBxKXoJ8ZU&feature=youtu.be
