Admin EditCreation Myths!
Creation myths. A great way to start our literacy learning. Creation myths are full of big ideas: How was the world made? Where did animals and people come from? Why do we have bad things in the world?
Here is a link to The Big Myth, a website with creation myths from around the world.

Literacy Home Learning Tuesday 28th August
Due Thursday 30th August
Have a look at a copy of How The World Was Made. Ask me if you need a hard copy.
http://www.patana.ac.th/UploadCentre/Staff/BEHA/How_the_World_was_Made.docx
In your literacy home learning books write 'wow' phrases to describe what was created on each of the seven days. For each day you need at least two sentences.
Example:
Tuesday 23rd August
How The World Was Made
First Day
The mountains stretched into the sky beyond the clouds.
The mountains towered over everything around them.
The mountains were rocky and craggy.
The mountains stood like silent and stern old men.
Second Day
The rivers rushed over waterfalls and rapids like enthusiastic children.
Something to extra to find out about. Optional!
This is Pandora's Box. What was Pandora's Box?
The Pandora box was actually a Greek Artifact
(which I didn't know at all,I thought it was like a explorer's thingy that someone discovered....)!
Well,it says on the internet that it contains evil and someone opened it which is likely to be Pandora(the person who recieved it)and that leads to letting out all the evil
which is now in this world BUT there was one thing that stayed in the box which is hope.
Yes! Spot on! Well done Adelia.
So if anyone opens the box again they will let out evil which can't be undoed.
P.S:The Pandora box is actually a jar
P.SS:Here is the link that told me about it

i know it was all things bad but at the bottom was hope
Well done Daisy you are right! Mr Ben
Maths Home Learning 27.8.12
Dear Maths Group,
Here is the Hexabonds game we were playing in Maths today.
http://www.primarygames.co.uk/pg3/hexabonds/hexabonds.html
I have given you two worksheets to complete. Remember to count on in ones and tens to find the answer. A number line might be useful.
I would like you to complete both the additions to 50 and 100. The home learning is due back on Wednesday. Please make sure you complete the calculations in your books, not on the sheet.
Thanks, Mr Ben

Out of this World Home Learning 22.8.12
For your home learning tonight I would like you to be a designer. I would like you to design the space station of the future, ‘The 5B Sky Rover’. Please feel free to come up with a better name if you can!
Use the ISS website to find out about the ISS and use your research to plan and design your space station.
http://iss.jaxa.jp/kids/en/station/01.html
You will need to think about including areas for scientific research and rest and relaxation. You will also need to think about how you are going to power your space station.
Please draw your design on loose leaf paper (no bigger than A3), and include a key that tells us what the different areas are going to be used for. You can complete the task with paper and pens/pencils or on the computer. Make sure you present your design as beautifully as you can. These will make a nice display I think!
Please bring this into school no later than Monday 27th August.
TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
Space Stations
