Week 6 was the trickiest yet as I had 3 virtual work meetings so couldn’t dedicate the time to the chidren that they need to stay focussed on learning. Although my attempt at a nap was thwarted too…
MONDAY

PE with Joe
Starting the week with energy and Joe in a suit, the crazy man!

Morning work was cancelled due to my first ever virtual work meeting!
11-1
Meal prep, lunch and relax
1-3
Activities provided by the children’s schools.
Project 6: the human body: eyeballs
This was inspired by the kids being interested about vision and how the eye sees objects upside down. We watched some videos from the BBC and some of the lesson on reflection from the Oak National Academy before finishing with a labelling and colouring exercise from Crayola.
Matthew worked on Times Tables Rockstars and then did reading. Anya worked on spellings of the days of the week and months of the year, then did reading.
11-1
Meal prep, lunch and relax

Project 6: the human body: the nervous system
We found a great new channel on Youtube: Operation Ouch! The kids loved the episode on the brain and it included some fascinating experiments (especially the one at 39 minutes) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUCcsMmZVec

Play Your Cards Right version! I was much more excited about this than the kids!

Matthew and Anya both worked on their times tables and then he went on Scratch and was joined by the other 2.
I knew I would be in a meeting so set the children the task of creating their own lesons to give to the rest of us in the afternoon. Matthew chose dinosaurs, Anya monarchies and Zach numbers.
