Home Learning Grid w/c 29th June

Parks and Gardens

Please work through the activities below using your home

learning book to record your work. Parents, if you have any queries about these tasks, or if you

want to upload photos or work for the teachers to look through, remember to contact us through

your class’ home learning email address!

Science 1 Let’s think about forces we

find in playground and theme parks.

For EYFS and KS1 children, watch the short clip here:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zvj8q6f

Use the KS1 slides to think about the pushes and pulls used on different types of

playground equipment. Can you draw a park with

some pushes and pulls labelled?

KS2 children can find out more about rollercoaster forces such as G-Force in

this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AzHwNLxl_4&vl=

en Then answer the questions on the KS2 activity sheet: https://www.sidmouth-

primary.devon.sch.uk/parks-and-gardens/

Art One artist who is famous

for his paintings of gardens is Monet. Read through the slides about Monet, with examples of

his work, here: https://www.sidmouth-

primary.devon.sch.uk/parks-and-gardens/

Have a go at painting with your fingers, or with cotton buds for detail, in

a Monet style as the slides suggest! You could use the outline provided in the folder or you could design your own park or garden themed picture.

Geography National Parks are

protected areas because of their beautiful countryside,

wildlife and cultural heritage. There are 15 in

the UK. Use the map here and see if you find out the

names of the National Parks to match. Which

National Park is closest to us?

https://www.sidmouth-primary.devon.sch.uk/park

s-and-gardens/ Or

National Parks are visited by many thousands of

tourists each year. Read the information here:

https://www.nationalparks.uk/students/ourchallenges/tourism/beasustainable_tourist and design a poster to encourage people to follow

the Countryside Code.

DT Can you create your own fairground or playground ride? You can use junk

modelling materials:

Can you create movement using hinges,

levers or pulleys?

French Watch the video here and try to learn some French words relating to gardens

and plants. https://www.youtube.com/

watch?v=wTm4B4r68V0 Can you label a picture of a park or garden with some

of these French words?

You could challenge yourself by adding colour

words too. Remember that in French, adjectives like colour words come after the noun, so a red flower would be une fleur rouge.

PE Set yourself a challenge of getting out and about for

some daily physical activity next week. Keep a record of what you achieve, set

yourself targets to be faster or to run further.

You could look through the

challenges here: https://www.ukschoolrun.com/enterarace/prod_7123

101-Virtual-Activity-and-Tracker-Challenge.html

and earn yourself a certificate for a very small

charge.

Science 2 During the week, find a

time to go for a walk, perhaps to The Byes or to Connaught Gardens. Use the identification sheets

here to see what different trees and flowers you can

spot in our local area: https://www.sidmouth-

primary.devon.sch.uk/parks-and-gardens/

You could take photos to

record your finds, or collect different leaves (only those that have fallen!) to make a collage or do rubbings with.

PSHE Going to places like

playgrounds, funfairs and theme parks can take us out of our comfort zone.

We might feel scared about trying something new and

taking a risk.

Think of a time when you have felt fear, when doing something new has made you feel scared, but you have found the courage

and conquered it!

Can you write or draw about this experience?

Parks and Gardens! Friday Fun!

Remember you can use Fridays to catch up on any of the activities from the grid

above that you haven’t managed to fit in during the week. But if you need

some other ideas, here are some extra challenges!

Get creative Draw a design of your

dream garden. What things would you

like to include? To climb on? To sit on? To play

with? What flowers and trees would you

include? Let your imagination go wild,

research on the computer or in

magazines for ideas and then draw a plan like the

one below of your garden. Make sure you

label it!

Get imaginative You have a job

at Crealy and your first task is to design a new ride. Draw the ride and

label it to explain what it does. Write three

sentences encouraging visitors to go on the

ride.

Or

Design a poster for a new

theme park. You will need to come up with the name of your park

and think about whether there is a particular theme. It could be a

water park/ linked to a cartoon character or computer game... the

choice is yours! Your poster will need to

attract people’s attention so that they

want to visit. Think about using pictures and bright

colours.

Get cooking Choose a park or garden location for a picnic or an afternoon tea with your

family.
