Look around your home and, if possible, outside in your garden or outside space.
Can you find any objects that are ‘living’, ‘no longer living’ and ‘never lived’?
How do you know?
Can you draw then, label them and write your responses.

Hi
There is no need to email over the reading paper.
Just let us know anything he was successful at and anything he found challenging.
We can add any activities to further support children for next week.
Keep up the good work.
Miss Duncan
Great job Oscar for completing this. Hopefully it wasn’t too challenging. Just shows how much you’ve done this year as we’ve learnt about everything in the paper. Keep it up! Miss Battams 🙂
Maths
1/3
3 equal amownts of a whole
FROM ELLioT.,
1. “yes because it has 3 equal groups from a circle”
2. “no its 2/3 (supported with this one)”
3. “no its 1/2”
4. “no its a 1/2 because 3 is coloured in 3 are not and there is 6 altogether.”
5. “it is a 1/3 because two of them are not coloured in. One of them is.”
Fantastic work again Elliot! Miss Battams 🙂
“Living means that you are alive and eat food and plants eat soil and water.”
“No longer living means its dead and and will never come back to life.”
“Never lived means that its never been alive.”
Living Things:
Fish
Snails
Worms
Grass
No longer living
Chair leg because it was wood from a tree
Plants that you have picked
Never lived
Metal
Glass
String
Elliot is going to draw some things he has found and I’ll email it over to you later. 😊
Today we started with PE with Joe again…its getting harder. Then we did some maths- fractions. Then we had art where we made princesses from toilet rolls. We then did the science tasks, we went out side and found bugs, picked flowers and stones and wrote which ones were living, once lived and never lived. We also created a science experiment with milk food colouring and dish soap. And we have just finished the English paper- only 1 wrong and done the handwriting.
Great work once again Kiarah! Miss Battams 🙂

Hi Matthew
All the adults at Lings are missing our wonderful children. The school is very quiet without you all.

What does ‘living’ IF A LEAF IS ON A TREE IT IS LIVING, ‘no longer living’ IF A LEAF HAS FALLEN OFF A TREE AND IT HAS GONE ALL CRISPY AND BROWN THAT MEANS IT IS NO LONGER LIVING. and ‘never lived’ A ROCK HAS NEVER LIVED.
