Maths

Today we are focusing on using the inverse operation (addition and subtraction). Watch the video below to help you and follow the slides which go through examples.

Literacy/Art/RE/PSHE! - Please email a picture of each piece of your work so that we can put it on a display.

Today, it is Holocaust Remembrance Day. As we have studied aspects of the Holocaust (Kindertransport and some of the persecution of the Jewish communities), we would like you to spend some time creating a response to how we can be an 'upstander' (someone who stands up for those being persecuted). 

Have a look at the guidance and ideas below. 

There are 2 tasks that we would like you to complete. 

The first task is blackout poetry.  This is where we take a text and colour out any words that we don't want to see, only leaving words that will make an impact. 

Try leaving the words that tell a story about what the Holocaust was or how people felt. You can use any text, but the one in the example is probably best.

If you don't have a printer, you could write out the words that you want to keep into a poem or shape. 

Have a look at the examples below to help you. 

Second Task

The national theme of the day is 'light in the darkness' and we would like you to create a piece of creative work based on this. 

First of all, you will need to have a think back to the ideas we thought of about how to be an 'upstander'. 

Have a look at the slides below to help. 

Then, have a think about how you could present this creatively, fitting with the theme of being the 'light in the darkness'. 

You could present it as a poster, art work, a model...the choice is yours! 

Some ideas: 

- How can you show areas of light and dark? Could you have a torch beam or a picture of a candle in the middle of your page?

- How could you present the words? Perhaps you could have the upstander words in the light; but have the bystander words in the darkness? Or put some of the words we learnt during our Holocaust lessons in the darkness? 

- How can you present this creatively? AND NEATLY? What resources do you have at home that you can use to do this? Pens/pencils/paint/coloured paper? 

Remember, we want to display this so please spend time on making it display standard.
