Welcome to our ‘Additional Work’ Page.
Here you will find lots of fabulous links to interesting websites to help with your child’s learning.
Remember, as normal, all students have an Accelerated Reader username and password (in the front of their reading diaries) to log on and complete a comprehension quiz once they’ve finished a book! We have our own AR website for this so make sure you use the following link. Click the button below!
Whilst we are working from home, this website is free to read as many books as you like. Our pupils can then complete an Accelerated Reader quiz afterwards to test their comprehension.

- Use the ‘How Thunderstorms Happen’ activity sheet to apply what you are learning and create your own thunderstorms diagram
- Use the ‘Further Research’ website to add to your notes. Once finished, think about what skills you can use to present this learning? Will you create a weather report for the local news or a news broadcast detailing a particularly bad thunderstorm? Use video or voice recording to help you!
- Watch the ‘BBC Bring the Noise’ video to inspire you to make home-made instruments – can you make instruments at home using boxes, containers, dry pasta or rice to create a rainmaker? How will you create thunder? Video your ‘thunderstorm’ instruments when complete!

- How do you create waves in artwork? Watch the video below showing how to paint waves using acrylic paints – can you use different art supplies at home to create your own images of waves? Use paint and bubbles, or chalks and crayon: the possibilities are endless! Tweet your art work when you’re done!
