Over the past few weeks, Himalayas have been looking at different types of bread, tasting bread, designing their own bread and finally making it. 

The children loved making the bread and have asked me to upload the ingredients and recipe to the blog. We followed this recipe from Tesco and the children were great doing this as a team and independently.

Some children also decided to add jam or lemon curd in the middle of their iced finger.

Good morning Himalayas,

If you are well enough, here is some work for you to complete today.

Maths:

• Giving change.
• Can you have a go at these further fluency and problem solving questions on giving change. Use the video from yesterday to help if needed.

English:

• Today we are going to be learning the text. Could you role play a discussion with someone in your house making sure you say the sentence signposts and conjunctions.
• You can choose the different topics you might want to discuss. What do you notice when having this discussion? Was it difficult to stay in third person and keep it formal?

 D&T:

• As we are making bread, we are going to be learning the skill of kneading. Watch this video which explains what kneading is.
• Can you find some flour, fairy liquid and salt. Mix them together and create your own playdough. From doing this, can you practice the skill of kneading?

Good morning Himalayas,

If you are well enough, here is some work for today.

Maths:

• Giving change
• Worksheet

English:

• Today we will be using what we have learnt with sentence signposts and conjunctions by applying them into sentences. You need to edit these sentences by adding those in so they are fit for a discussion text.
• Here is an example of me improving the first sentence by adding sentence signposts and conjunctions.

Can you have a go at editing these sentences to improve them?

Computing:

Think about different digital devices (above) and what we can use them for. Can they do more than one job? Can more than one job be done on just one digital device?

Complete the sheet below for the jobs suggested and then try to come up with your own.

Good morning Himalayas,

 Sentence signposts which ‘introducing a different viewpoint’:

For example:

•       On the other hand.

•       However.

•       First of all.

 Sentence signposts which ‘conclude the discussion text’:

For example:

•       In conclusion.

•       Looking at this from both sides.

•       Overall.

We are starting our new topic where we will be making bread. I want you to think about what the words sweet and savoury mean. Are there any foods you have eaten which are sweet and savoury?

• Sweet means having the pleasant taste characteristic of sugar or honey.
• Savoury means it belongs to the category of salty and spicy.

Examples of sweet bread:

•       Banana bread, hot cross loaf, cinnamon bread, iced fingers.

Examples of savoury bread:

•       Garlic ciabatta bread, cheese bread, tomato bread.

Thomas Warburton is the person we will be looking at.

Does anyone recognise this name when looking at bread?

What do the Warburton family find important when making bread?

Write down what you think is important when making bread from reading the website and watching the video.

 Good morning Himalayas,

If you are well enough, here is some work to complete today.

Maths:

• Adding money
• Worksheet

English:

• We are looking at adding conjunctions into our sentences. Conjunctions link things or actions within sentences. They are like glue as they help join words, phrases and clauses.
• Conjunctions
• Different types of conjunctions are and, but, so, when, if, although, because, after.
• For example, we will light the fire when it gets dark.
• Can you add the missing conjunctions?

Then read the discussion text that we will be looking at over the next few weeks.
