A short week due to the Friday bank holiday but it is getting increasingly difficult to get the kids to work: they are tending to rush through things unless I give them individual attention which is obviously tricky when there is only one of me and three of them!
Anyway, here is the plan versus the reality for week 7:
MONDAY
04.05.2020
9.00-9.30
PE with Joe
Joe had been in hospital all weekend so was joined by his wife Rosie to put us through our paces. I wish she would share the secret of how she lost her mum tum 4 months after having a baby whilst mine is still wobbling away 4 years later…
9.30-10
Break
10-11
English: spellings, reading, Maths: Mathletics, Times Table Rockstars
Matthew reluctantly completed a self portrait while Anya sobbed whilst drawing an oak tree habitat, both tasks set by their schools.
11-1
Meal prep, lunch and relax
1-3
Project 7: WW2 and VE Day
I used the Year 6 lesson from the Oak National Academy about Hitler’s rise to power to introduce why World War 2 happened.
English: spellings, Maths: Oak National Academy, work from school
Matthew designed a new animal: no surprises, it was a dinosaur! Anya did Mathletics and some reading comprehension.

Meal prep, lunch and relax

Project 7: WW2 and VE Day
We watched the news reel of the war declaration via Youtube, then looked at some of the resources from The Imperial War Museum. Vera Lynn provided some musical entertainment.
