Reading

Read and learn a poem. Read ‘Keep a poem in your pocket’. Read it twice: the first time in your head and the second time out loud. What do you think it means? How could a poem stop you from being lonely? Read Top tips for learning a poem by heart. Try memorising the poem ‘Keep a poem in your pocket’.

Keep A Poem In Your Pocket
By Beatrice Schenk de Regniers

Keep a poem in your pocket
And a picture in your head
And you’ll never feel lonely
At night when you’re in bed.

The little poem will sing to you
The little picture bring to you
A dozen dreams to dance to you
At night when you’re in bed.

So – –
Keep a picture in your pocket
And a poem in your head
And you’ll never feel lonely
At night when you’re in bed.

PSHE 

Work on your understanding of emotions.

• Interview someone in your household and ask them what emotions they have felt over the course of the week. How do they deal with these emotions?
• Now think about your own emotions, and complete an emotions ‘road map’ explaining how your emotion have changed, and why. 

 

Humanities

• We are continuing our learning on Rainforests this week. Use a map to locate the worlds biggest Rainforest, and then locate the worlds smallest. Which one would you rather visit? Why? 
• Do you think that there is a correlation between where the Rainforests are, and the weather of that country? Could there be a Rainforest in Manchester? Explain 

R.E

• Writing your own prayers at home. Write a prayer for those who are isolated without their family able to visit them, or maybe without any family at all. Ask God to bring them comfort so that they do not feel lonely. 
• Find a story in the Bible about hardship. How did the individual overcome their hardship, with the support of God? Remember that with God in our hearts, we will overcome anything. 

Computing

• I am sure some of you are enjoying playing online games – research the role of a ‘professional gamer’ – what does the job entail? What other jobs are linked to technology? Explore different job roles and think about if you would like to do one of these roles when you grow up. 
• Create an online quiz for your family, and even your friends, using Kahoot. You need an adult to sign up for you and then you can create your very own quiz!

Most of all, stay safe and happy. We miss you and will see you soon.
