Home Learning 5.10.12

Published Friday, October 05, 2012.
Last updated: Friday, October 05, 2012

In line with our Moving People theme, we have prepared various further learning opportunities for you. We would like you to select learning tasks from the matrix found here.  You are expected to complete a minimum of 3 activities by Monday 3rd December, 8 weeks away, although you can of course complete more.

We are looking for high quality examples of learning and not just lots and lots of paperwork or pictures.

Be prepared to talk to the class about your learning when you bring it to school. We would like to see a completed task every 2-3 weeks, with your first deadline being Wednesday 31st October. 

Your chosen learning will be shared in our ‘Moving People Exhibition’ on Friday 7th December.

Literacy Home Learning

This week we have been studying both explanation texts and moving people, for your home learning I would like you to combine the two.

I would like you to write an explanation text about refugee camps.  What are they? Why do we need them? Who uses them? How are they funded?

Remember to write a success criteria list at the beginning of your writing and use it to check when you have written your first draft.

Tiger Spirit Day - Friday 5th October

Tiger Spirit Day - Friday 5th October

Tiger Spirit Day: Friday 5th October

This special day is designed to celebrate our Patana Community spirit. The children will be taking part in a variety of Tiger themed activities throughout the school. In Primary, year groups from the different Key Stages often join together to share a part of the day.

 Children are invited to come to school dressed in tiger themed clothing or wearing orange and black. For this privilege we suggest a recommended donation of 100 baht to support our Central Charity Fund – which directly supports children’s educational and welfare projects in Thailand. Details of these projects are communicated regularly through school newsletters and periodicals.

We encourage children to ‘Do a Job for the Money’ so that they earn the 100 baht. This can include washing-up, room-tidying, helping a younger sibling with their home learning, walking the dog, etc. Please discuss possible job options with your child – their suggestions might surprise you.

Many thanks

By Peter Hockley, Primary Community Action Co-ordinator

Moving People
 
This week, we kicked off our new learning theme of Moving People by experiencing the feeling of being displaced and homeless by being 'evacuated' to the Admin building.  We were also very fortunate to have the opportunity to meet Allison Burdon, a specialist on refugees who works with the charity CARE which cares for thousands of asylum seekers and refugees around the world.
 
Sports
This has been an amazing week for sports as we have had both the Aquathon and the Interclass Basketball Tournaments.  Well done to all of the students who not only put in tremendous effort but were incredibly supportive of all the other players.

Patana Fun Run 

Good luck to everyone who is taking part in the Fun Run this weekend.  Please send me lots of photos so we can share stories on Monday. 

Literacy
 
We have been looking at explanation texts this week in Literacy. Your challenge this week is to write an explanation about a process. You can choose any process (e.g. How a car works. How a camera takes a photo. Why people need excercise. Swimming.) and remember it is not a set of instructions, you need to explain how or why something happens.
 
Here is one example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM1BIaXWH9Y
 
Try to include the features that we have been looking at e.g.:
 
  • title
  • present tense
  • introduction
  • organised steps in paragraphs
  • extra interesting information
  • technical vocabulary
  • diagrams (optional)
  • conclusion
 Make it interesting with simple, complex and compound sentences.

 

Connected Learning

We have been learning about refugees. We would like you to make a glossary for the following technical terms:

  •  Refugee
  • Migration
  • Migrant
  • Immigration
  • Emigrate
  • Asylum Seekers
  • Border
  • Exile
  • Expatriate
  • Push factors
  • Pull factors
  • (internally) displaced.
  • evacuate
  • famine
  • malnourished
  • poverty

You can present your glossary however you wish. It could be as a leaflet, poster, word document, Prezi, PowerPoint, video or you may have other creative ideas. Think carefully about how you can find out the meanings of these words and make sure you understand what they mean. We will be sharing this home learning in class on Thursday 4th October.

Remember you are only expected to spend 30 minutes on this task so you may not be able to explain all the words. It is quality not quantity!

Maths Home Learning

This week we have been studying reflective and rotational symmetry.  For your home learning I would like you to create an image with 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10 orders of rotational symmetry.  For this you will need a protractor and tracing paper (available from my classroom).

I would like to display these so please make them bright and colourful - although the colour also has to be part of the rotational symmetry.
