Geography 11.00- 12.00am
Revisit – Last week we started by looking at how many countries we could label in Europe. We’re going to have another go this week to see if we can beat our high score!
Spend 5 minutes looking at the map of Europe that we first looked at last week. Try to remember some of the names of the countries.
Have a go at labelling as many countries as you can using https://world-geography-games.com/countries_europe.html
Main Learning:
Write down the learning target and date neatly in your book.
L.O: Understand how Italy is divided
Last week we started to look at some information about how Italy was divided. Unfortunately, lots of you missed this lesson, but you will need to know the information we covered before we can continue.
If you missed last week’s lesson please start here. If you completed last week’s lesson, please scroll to the bottom of ‘geography’ to find out what I would like you to do this week.
1.) First, start by watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5mpdzUlFmw
Write down some key things you notice in the video which tell you what Italy is like.
Our lesson today will help us to think about what Italy is like as a whole country and we are going to ‘zoom in’ to find out how it is divided up into different parts, which we call regions.
2.) Now, let’s look at this map. https://online.seterra.com/en/vgp/3092
The white lines show us where one region ends and another begins....a bit like how England is split up into different counties such as Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire. Yorkshire etc.
Can you spot how many regions there are? Try to count them.
Just for fun, have a go at finding some of the regions of Italy – can you say them correctly?
3.) Now watch this video which shows an aerial view of Italy. That means it shows you a view as if you were a bird flying over the top of it.
I would like you to think about how the different regions of Italy are similar and different from each other. You will know when a different region is shown because its name comes up in blue on the screen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_UTXHXTidw
Today we are going to look at some of Italy’s regions in a bit more detail, starting with Florence. Can you spot it on the map of Italy below?
First of all download this powerpoint. We are going to think about what makes Florence special. Look at the pictures and write down 3 reasons why you might visit Florence.
Task: Create a fac tfile of your own using a whole page in your topic book. I would like to know the following:
What is it like in Florence?
Why should I visit?
How many people live there?
What would I see if I visited Florence?
You should make your fact-file colourful and it needs to include pictures, information which has been written down and fact boxes. Look at the pictures of fact files we have read so far in Reading below – this is the kind of thing I am looking for.
If you started this task last week:
This week I could like you to create me a colourful poster which would persuade me to visit Florence. It needs to include pictures, information which has been written down and fact boxes. Look at the pictures of fact files we have read so far in Reading below – this is the kind of thing I am looking for. Use lots of colour to make it eye-catching!

RE.wmv
When you have watched the powerpoint, you can watch this video to find out more about reincarnation... https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/religious-studies-ks2-my-life-my-religion-hinduism-cycle-of-birth-and-rebirth/zn68qp3
So.. Hindus believe in ‘Karma’. Have you ever heard the phrase ‘what goes around comes around?’ or heard somebody talk about ‘good karma’ and ‘bad karma’? It’s a little bit like our reward charts in school...if we do something good, we earn rewards but if we do something negative, we have consequences for our actions. Hindus believe that if you do good things in life, you will be reborn into a good life but if you do bad things, then you are reborn into a life that isn’t as nice.
Our task today is to draw out a poster to show what Hindus believe about how life works...
Task: Draw your own circle of life diagram, showing key moments such as birth, learning to walk, going to school, getting a job, getting married, becoming a parent, retiring, dying.
When you have drawn it, think about ways that people could gather good karma at each stage. You could write these around each circle.

PSHE
This week celebrates ‘Children’s Mental Health week.’ Children's Mental Health Week 2021
This year’s theme is: ‘EXPRESS YOURSELF’ and it aims to explore and encourage different ways for children to express themselves creatively.
In our PSHE lesson today, we want you to choose from one of the tasks below. If you want to do more than one…Brilliant!
Task 1:
Consider one of these questions (see attached question document below) and discuss your answers with someone at home.
You may want to have a go at answering one of the questions in your own, special way.
Why not have go at writing a song, designing a piece of art work to help explain your answer? Perhaps you could create a poster, poem or storyboard of pictures or photographs that help explain your answer to your selected question .
Task 2:
You may want to print off the ‘Bunting Template’ and fill each triangle with some of your favourite things. You could always decorate your bedroom with this bunting if you would like.
If you don’t have a printer, you may want to make your own Bunting to be decorated and hung up at home.
Task 3:
Our lives are full of colour and we can use colour to help make sense of how we are feeling, who we are and the world that we live in. You may want to create a collage or piece of art work that expresses a feeling or expresses some of our favourite things.
You could wear your favourite colour or choose a range of colours that express how you’re feeling today. Colour can be very personal and mean different things to different people, so this is a great opportunity to encourage self-expression and celebrate a diverse range of emotions.
In our final Teams session today, why not ‘Dress to Express’ in your favourite colours and clothes. Just because you’re at home, doesn’t mean you can’t get dressed up to express how you are feeling.
If you can’t log in for our final session, then why not send a photograph of you dressed in your favourite colours or outfits.
