Home Learning Guidelines:

Use the grid below to help structure your child’s home learning. We would encourage children to complete at least 2 activities from each column and record their learning experience in their challenge book. This could be done in a variety of ways. For example, writing a few sentences about what they learnt, drawing a picture, sticking in a photograph, completing a thought bubble etc.

To support your child at home with reading we ask that your child reads at least 4 times a week. Remember there are lots of resources to support reading on our website.

There is no expectation that your child completes the home learning challenges if they are unwell or if circumstances at home are such that the completion of the tasks cause unnecessary stress and anxiety to the household.

The highlighted activities on the learning grid show which activities the children will complete in school.

Is a dark and terrifying Puck more or less effective than a light-hearted and mischievous Puck?Design and write a character description of your own Puck.

Design a fairies home in a large tray or in an outside space in your garden, be creative and think carefully about all the items they would need. Think about what they would eat and drink too.

From your list, divide the foods into the correct groups.

Add up the amount of food in each column of your table.Then add up every single food item you have written down. This will be the total.Use this data to help you calculate the angles for each food group, and draw your pie chart.

Shakespeare’s sonnet 75 starts:

“So are you to my thoughts as food to life,”

In this line Shakespeare is explaining how important someone, in his life, is to him; he couldn’t live without them – like food which we need to live.

Who in your life could be described by this line, maybe you could write a short letter of thanks to them for caring for you.

Using BBCTeach watch the first episode of Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream - Welcome to Athens. In this episode we are introduced to the mischievous sprite Puck, who acts as a storyteller, linking the different worlds of A Midsummer Night’s Dream (fairies, Athenians and Mechanicals). He tells us of the impending marriage of Duke Theseus and the Amazonian queen, Hippolyta. Their nuptial plans are interrupted by the arrival of Egeus, furious that his daughter Hermia is disobeying his orders to marry the man he has chosen for her.Prediction: What kind of story is this going to be? What type of characters will we meet? What might happen next?Link making: Does it remind you of anything else you have seen or read? Clarification: Is there any part of it that you didn’t understand? Was any of the vocabulary confusing? Questioning: What will the themes of the story be? (Love, magic…) What are the qualities of a dream? Are dreams always enjoyable?

Inspired by the magic theme In Shakespeare’s a Midsummers Night’s Dream, write a recipe and instructions for a creating a love potion for making characters fall in love with each other.

Create a Word and Image collage inspired by food and drinks that you love, see the attached artworks to inspire you.

In “The Tempest” by Shakespeare, Prospero creates the tempest, causing his enemies' ship to wreck with the help of Ariel. Now Ariel’s fascinated with creating storms and wishes to create an even bigger one. Help him to conjure up spells to try out different storms… Work out how much of each ingredient is needed for the storm potion by using long multiplication, see the problems below.

Our new big question for this term is “Can we know what God is like?”

Choose a celebrity and describe her or him. Where do you get your information from? How well do they know the person? Are there any surprises about this person? Talk about what it would be like actually to know someone. What difference would it make? What kinds of things are added to your relationship if you talk with them, or go through events or activities with them? If they see you when you are up and when you are down? Make the link with the idea that for Christians, knowing God is a personal journey, a relationship not an intellectual exercise.

Write down all the words they might use if they were to describe a being who could be ‘God’ — including god’s power, character, and actions.

Read the abridged script of Oberon and Titania’s argument from “A Midsummers Night’s Dream” attached. Discuss what is going on in the scene. The animation says that they are arguing over a fairy that Oberon wants. But the Shakespeare script explains it in more detail. Who is the fairy?

Can you write a poem inspired by the one below:

When Larry made Lasagne

When Larry made lasagneall his neighbours stopped and stared.His lasagne was the largestthat had ever been prepared.

He used ninety yards of pastaand a half a ton of cheese,and the sauce, he spread with spatulasthat looked a lot like skis.

With a hundred pounds of vegetablesand wagon-loads of meatplus a tiny sprig of parsleyhis lasagne was complete.

So he lifted that lasagnewith a forklift and a craneand he placed it in an oventhat was longer than a train.

For a week, while it was baking,its aroma filled the town,till he took it from the ovenpiping hot and golden brown.

All the neighbours came and tasted itbut frowned at him, and thenthey complained, “It needs a bit more salt.You’ll have to start again.”

 — Kenn Nesbitt

Read the poem by Kenn Nesbitt 'Breakfast in Bed' below. Choose the best word in brackets to complete each rhyme. Write the correct word on the line.

Percentages - The sign % stands for 'per cent' which means 'out of 100'. 40% means 40 out of 100 11% means 11 out of 100. To change a percentage to a decimal, divide by 100. Change 48% to a decimal: 48 ÷ 100 = 0.48 To change a decimal to a percentage, multiply by 100. Change 0.67 to a percentage: 0.67 x 100 = 67%.

With this knowledge please help Ariel work out the volumes required to create the sleep spell.
