Happy St Davids Day — Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus
Week Beginning 1st March 2021 Week 8
Hello all,
I hope you have had a restful half term and are all fit and healthy. I am very much looking forward to the day that you can all come back to school and learn together and miss you all lots and lots.
I will continue be on teams most mornings between 9:30 and 10:30 to help you and teach you. You can also message me through Class Dojo or use my work email which is wheadonc11@hwbcymru.net .You can complete your work in your HWB account, which we have been using for the whole of the Autumn Term and you are very good at getting on to it. It saves automatically and I will be able to see it and leave some comments to say how well you have done. If you would prefer to write your work out that’s great- take a photo and upload it to HWB or Class Dojo for me to see a few children have been doing this and I can still attach comments.
Remember to keep yourselves healthy and fit whilst you are at home, complete your 10 minutes activity of walking, skipping, running etc a day, relax have fun with your family, go to your bedroom for alone time, play with your toys, eat some food or have a treat. When we get back to school we will get back on track so make sure to look after yourselves.
Mrs Issac has uploaded some excellent activities on Rainbow Rangers which anyone can use so take a look and have a go.
I am thinking about you all regularly and I really miss seeing everyone.
Thinking about you lots and sending good health to you all
from Mrs Wheadon.
Below I have set out a timetable of how we would complete this work in school- please remember that your children would also be having regular breaks, playing board games, listening to stories, using construction toys, having a snack, talking to their friends, talking to adults, looking at/reading books and definitely not be working constantly throughout the day.

Times Table Activities are always in our maths sessions. The children work in small groups with an adult and also play maths games with their friends. Please use the multiplication games daily.
Use Hit the Button and J2EBlast (on Hwb) to practice your 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 times tables. Record how many you get correct and see if you can beat that next time! (If you are very good at these tables please move on to 7,8,9 times tables.) Warm up by singing your times tables songs using Youtube to find the songs we sing.

Topic Activities Playlist
Our new topic is a creative one. You are going to get the chance to express yourself creatively.
WALT: to express myself through a creative media.
Creative media can be drama, music, art, movies, printing, model making etc. or a mixture of a few. The choice will be yours!
What’s that noise? A bash? A crash? A shake, a rattle or a low, bass hum? Which do you prefer – an acoustic singer or a booming brass band? A solitary voice singing sweetly and quietly or a magnificent choir lifting the roof? Take out your ear plugs as you journey through the valley of sound and find out about instruments, the sounds they make and how they are produced. Discover how sounds are made and which sounds travel the furthest. Then, sing up and compose a class song for the local talent contest, Class Factor. Can you write a number one hit? Be sure to stand up straight, warm up your voice and sing your heart out.
Look at this web page to learn about different parts of music so you can compose your own
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/subjects/zwxhfg8
Listen to the fim scores below. Close your eyes. Use an eye mask/blindfold. On a large piece of paper with a felt pen make marks. Are they straight? Jagged? Circles? Squares? Curved? How do the scores make you feel? Wht do you think about?
Listen to a range of dramatic film music. Pick out, discuss and make notes on the instruments that they can hear, in particular those which contribute to the atmosphere of the piece. Try out several famous examples, such as the famous ‘chomping’ of the low strings in Jaws or the deep, rhythmic tones of Darth Vader’s Imperial March theme.
Note: Include a mix of genres and perhaps use film scores, such as Star Wars, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Chariots of Fire, Harry Potter, The Magnificent Seven or James Bond. Another evocative classical piece is Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries. Show the children the actual scenes. Were they as they had imagined? How well does the music suit the action?
Blooms: Research your favourite music, singer, song . Find the answer to at least three of the following questions.
- What happened after their first ?
• How many records have they written?
• What is the best one?
• Who was it that they admire the most?
• Name the top ten songs?
• Describe what happened after …… - Write down some facts ?
- Make up your own questions and answer them – What do you want to know
Present this in your own style.
