TRANSCRIPT
The Blitz During the Blitz, German bombers didn’t drop
bombs everywhere. As you know, London was
one main target. On this map, you can see other
places that were bombed.
The Germans targeted places where there were factories (these were in cities) and ports (around
the coast of the UK).
This was because factories made important things that people in the
UK needed to survive and ports were where boats
brought things from other countries.
Why do you think London had the most bombs dropped on it?
This is a map of the area around our school from today. If you can, we would like you to print off the map and then
visit this website: http://bombsight.org/
Here you can see where all the bombs were dropped during WW2. You need to move the
map to find Waller Road, where our school is, and then
mark on your printed map where bombs were dropped
around Edmund Waller School.
If you can’t do that, have a look at the ‘Bomb Sight’ website to
see where bombs were dropped near your home.
Then, ask an adult if they can have a walk with you to see if you can find those places. Can you spot any differences in the buildings where bombs where
dropped? In what ways are they different?
First, watch this video: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/history-ks2-living-through-the-air-raids/zjnyrj6
In it, a man called Alan tells his granddaughter what it was like to live through air raids in the war.
This is a picture of a classroom
during the 1940s when WW2 took
place.
How is it different to
your classroom today? How is
it similar?
Make a list of similarities and
differences.
Spelling: We are focusing on one
spelling, ou, which can make lots of different sounds.
Today, we’d like you to choose 6 of the words with ou in that you’ve been working on and
then practise writing them out and working with them in
different ways:• Speed spell – how many of
each word can you write in 2 minutes?
• Word chop – write out each of the words on a piece of paper. Chop each word out and then cut it in half and
shuffle them up. How quickly can you put the words back together?
• Spiral spellings – write each word out in a spiral – see an
example on the left hand side of the page!
‘The Lion and the Unicorn’
Questions from the page that starts: “That night, long after the others had gone to sleep…”:Please remember to keep writing down the answers to all the questions in full sentences in your book.
Looking: What do the children at Lenny’s school tease him about? Who is kind to Lenny and how do they help him? Who is not so kind to Lenny?
Clue: 1. How can you tell from the way that the writer describes Lenny
and his actions that Lenny is afraid of the noises outside?
2. How can you tell that Lenny misses his mum and dad?
Choose the best quotations from the story that show this.
Thinking: Have you ever heard strange noises in the night that have scared you? What did you do to make yourself feel better?
Tricky words you’ll come across: prowling – moving about quietly and secretly, in search of somethingjeer – to say or cry out in a cruel waygrim-faced – having a very serious or moody expressionwhisked away – taken away quickly
Division using partitioning
This shows 48 ÷ 2 = 24 using place value counters:
1. 15 ÷ 3 =
2. 16 ÷ 2 =
3. 18 ÷ 3 =
4. 20 ÷ 4 =
5. 22 ÷ 2 =
6. 24 ÷ 4 =
7. 25 ÷ 5 =
This time, the number 48 has been partitioned into 40 and 8 because you can divide both numbers easily by 2.
