Hazel Class 2020-2021 Home Learning How It Works!

There are some links to PDFs below for some fun science activities that can be done at home.  You'll need to raid the recycling for some bottles to make rockets and a cool magnet maze.  

Other ideas for home learning for this topic;

• Build a moving vehicle out of some recycling, construction toys or Lego (simple Lego car instructions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i17lD5NPcnY).  How does it work? Explain it to someone.
• How does friction work? Make a ramp for a car to go down.  Try experimenting with different surfaces on your ramp like sandpaper, fabric, washing up liquid etc
• How do boats float?  Experiment with different plastic containers in the bath!  Which are best for carrying heavy loads?  Wide bottomed containers or small narrow ones? How many play people can float in your container boat?
•  Make a list of all the things that look like metal in your house.  How can you find out if they are metal or not?  How do magnets work?

Hello Hazel Class families! 

Your last week of daily Home and School Learning activities are below.  I have also added a special 'Mrs Hunt Summer Challenge' for you to tick off things you do over the summer. I am super proud of all of you busy working so hard at home.  I also love coming to see those of you at school  to wave and chat by the door (Elm) and by the window (Hazel) when I am teaching the Key Worker Bubble. It's the best part of my day!  You have all done so well to keep smiling during these strange times and I can't wait to see you all properly in September when you'll be giant year 2's!

Google Classroom will be used to post weekly questions and for you to upload photos and documents which I can comment on. 

Numbots is a fun way to practice your numeracy skills.  Make sure you have written down your log in and password somewhere safe for both Numbots and Google Classroom!  Your Hazel Google Classroom will be re-named as Willow Google Classroom at some point!

Don't forget our class login in number for EPIC is elj9503 and the website address is https://www.getepic.com/app/profile-select.  

You can  email  your news or tell Mrs Hunt about something you have made by sending an email to the office.

Hello Hazel Class families! 

Your next week of daily Home and School Learning activities are below.  The children in school were shown how to use Google Classroom and Numbots last week.  You have all be sent log ins for these different on line learning tools. Google Classroom will be used to post questions and for you to upload work which I can feedback on.  This week there are secret assignments to make special things for our Headteacher (Ssshhh!!).  Numbots is a fun way to practice your numeracy skills.

Remember It’s up to you whether you do just the White Rose, or the White Rose and the extra activities or just the activities. Whatever suits you best. 

New spellings for this term are on the class page - well done for all your super effort with these!  I know the teachers at school are squeezing in some extra spelling practice too.  

Keep reading - some of you are getting so many points on the EPIC website!  Don't forget out class login in number is elj9503 and the website address is https://www.getepic.com/app/profile-select.  You should have also received an email with details how to access EPIC and Oxford Owls.
