Children’s Art Week

As you already know, it’s Children’s Art Week and this is the final week. The theme for week 3 is: literacy and creative writing.

It’s up to you how you choose to respond to this theme. Remember that Pobble365 has a different daily image which you could use for inspiration – click on the link below.

Have a look at some of the activities suggested by Tower Bridge for this week:

Jenny Wright is an artist who offers a contemporary reflection of how images can be used as language. She uses an emoji to express ideas without the use of words. Check out Picture, Letter to see how popular images can say things, just by the looks on their faces. Learn more about Jenny Wright and her art here:

Jenny’s Drawing Challenge

Bike It Jenny is a Sustrans Schools’ Bike It Officer for Southampton. She has often visited our school to give assemblies on active travel and run training sessions for us, including the scooter skills sessions that you may have taken part in during Year 3. She has a drawing challenge for you. She would like you to draw an object (or part of an object) used when cycling, scooting or walking but there is a twist. Please read the information in the leaflet at the bottom of the page to find out more and see some examples. There’s also a video tutorial for the task with Jenny herself. Click on the link below!  

RNLI

What does the RNLI stand for? It stands for Royal National Lifeboat Institution. The RNLI is a charity that was founded in 1824, meaning it has been running for nearly 200 years. The RNLI is a charity that was set up to save lives at sea. It has many volunteers and supporters who are tasked with lifesaving work by providing a 24-hour lifeboat search and rescue service. Volunteers make up 95% of the organisation and they support expert staff who work together to help communities at home and abroad to save lives.

Since 1824, RNLI crews and lifeguards have saved over 142,700 lives! The RNLI is more than a rescue service. Find out more about what the RNLI does:

Did you know that there are over 400 lifeboats in the RNLI fleet? They are based at lifeboat stations around the UK and Ireland and together they cover 19,000 miles of coastland as well as some inland stretches of water. RNLI lifeboats are divided into two categories: All-weather lifeboats and inshore lifeboats. Different boats are used to reach people in different situations. All-weather lifeboats can travel at high speed in all weather conditions and inshore lifeboats are usually used closer to shore, in shallower water, near cliffs, rocks and even in caves. Have you ever wondered what it’s life on a lifeboat? Watch this clip from Hero Squad Special Ops – RNLI Lifeboat to find out:

Part of the RNLI’s mission is to teach young people how to be safe near water and what to do if anything ever goes wrong. They have put together a variety of important – and potentially lifesaving – learning opportunities for you. You can collect stamps in a virtual passport as you learn.

What have you learned about water safety? Create a mind map of all of the key information. There are some posters attached at the bottom of this page to help you.

We would like you to use all that you have learned to create an information booklet or poster to help people to stay safe near water. You could compose a catchy song to help people remember the key messages. You could perform it to people at home!

If you head to a beach this summer, remember the key messages and ensure that you stay safe.

Maths - Times Tables Rock Stars

Come on Year 3, it’s all to play for. Who will achieve the greatest score? Good luck to all!

The Trojan Horse

We hope that you enjoyed learning about the legend of The Trojan Horse. Imagine a huge, hollow, wooden horse so large that soldiers could hide within! According to the legend, they gave the horse to the Trojans as an offering to Athena (Goddess of War). The horse was taken inside the city gates. That night, Greek warriors emerged from it and opened the gates to let in the Greek army. What a surprise for the Trojans!

This week, we’d like you to respond to this legend creatively. As it’s Art Week, can you create a sketch of The Trojan Horse? Alternatively, if you are feeling crafty, you could have a go at making your own Trojan Horse. Look at this website for some ideas. There’s a template that you could download too.

There is also a Trojan Horse word search attached at the bottom of the page for you to try.
