Minecraft Earth - Mega Minecraft!

 

App: Minecraft Earth

Download Links: Apple  Android

Access: Location & Camera (for AR purposes)

 

In today’s lesson:

Challenge 1

Open up Minecraft Earth and watch the world around you become Minecraft!

Sadly, we can not be together for National School Sports Week and Sports Day so this year you’ll be participating from home! And even better, your whole family can join in the fun!

 

This year, we have teamed up with Sky Sports to run a national campaign which will aim to unite the country - families, schools, sport and businesses - in a celebration of the power of sport to bring people together, even during isolation.

 

The UK-wide campaign will challenge people to take on their families, friends and neighbours in virtual sporting challenges – helping them to connect in an unprecedented period of school closures and social distancing.

It will build on the Youth Sport Trust’s #StayHomeStayActive campaign which has been supporting schools, parents and young people with daily free resources to get young people moving and enjoying the PE curriculum while at home.

 

Attached are activities to complete at home- the active challenges will all have an emphasis on togetherness, inclusivity and wellbeing. They will be things you can do within the home, and where you can engage in straightforward virtual competition with friends, neighbours and family outside your home.

 

If you post on twitter, make sure you tag us in @GA_Bury, @youthsporttrust and #NSSWtogether.

Mac The Hamster Update ❤️😍

The Manchester Ship Canal

 

Believe it or not, many many years ago we didn’t have planes, trains, cars or lorries to help us transport items between different places.  In 1894, the Manchester Ship Canal was opened and this was hugely important in terms of importing/exporting goods into and from the city.  Your work  is to research the canal by answering the questions below.  You may have even been on the canal without realising!

 

1.  How long is the canal?

 

2. Which cities does the canal run through apart from Manchester?

 

3. What sort of things was the canal used to transport?

 

4. What’s the name of the industrial estate that can be accessed by the canal?

 

5. Why do you think the canal was built?  Is there a need for it still today?

National Book Tokens and Puffin have joined forces to launch a new writing competition for children across the UK and Ireland.

 

To take part, children aged six to 18 need to write a 300-word short story on the subject of “Big Dreams”. They can interpret the theme however they like; an epic fantasy inspired by a dream, their favourite book, an amazing adventure that takes place in another world, or a true-to-life story set in an imaginary school. 

 

The competition is open to children in three age categories of six to 10, 11 to 14 and 15 to 18.

 

National Book Tokens is offering a prize fund of £3,600, with each of the three categories receiving a grand prize of £200, two runners up will get £100 and 16 will receive a £50 token.

 

The deadline for entries is 28th May and winners will be announced on 14th June via Facebook Live during the final day of the Puffin Festival of Big Dreams. The winning stories will also be published on the National Book Tokens website

Throughout this year we have written recipes and methods for a variety of different things including friendships and a happy world.

 

Can you write a recipe for how to get through lockdown? Remember to write the ingredients needed and a method. You can use any method of recording (Word, Purple Mash...)

 

For example you may need:-

- A bucket of patience (depending on how annoying your brothers and sisters are)

- A splash of Fortnite

- A dash of love

- 50ml of laughter

- A large slice of outdoor play

 

1. First, add your large bucket of patience to a mixing bowl. 

2. Add a splash of fortnite to the bowl and stir in a clockwise direction three times, no more as this will cause a lumpy mixture.
