Monday 1st February
Good morning Skylarks 😊
Happy Monday everyone! I can’t believe it is February already! I hope you are all well and had a nice, relaxing weekend. I enjoyed some lovely long walks with Teddy. It was amazing to see so many of you on our Friday zoom session – it really made me smile to see all of you together again.
Please find the new link for this week’s zoom sessions in your emails or on our class discussion.
See below for today’s home learning tasks and remember that I will be available on our discussion/homework area throughout the school day to help you and provide feedback on your work.
This week is Children’s Mental Health week where we will celebrate the theme ‘Express Yourself’.
Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share your feelings, thoughts, or ideas and doing activities that make you feel good.
Please find attached a word document that contains lots of different ideas of things you can do to support your positive wellbeing at home. These activities allow us to explore our feelings and emotions, but also give us time to switch off our brains from school work and focus on doing things that make us happy.
Worship
Mrs Powell’s worship today links to the theme of wellbeing and mental health. Please watch it using the link below:
Maths
Calculating Area: For your maths lesson today, please see the PowerPoint attached. Just click on the little speaker icon on the PowerPoint page to listen. Today we will be continuing with our lessons on area.
If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the maths lesson at the following YouTube link:
If you are watching the lesson through the YouTube link, you may need to pause the video at appropriate times to give yourself time to complete the tasks.
Times Tables
This week can you practice your x8 tables? Don’t forget to practice other tables that you still find tricky too. Can you say it forwards and backwards? Can you write out the multiples of this number? Do you know the division facts? Why not use TTRS or hit the button to help you:

Writing
Hansel and Gretel: Again, please see the PowerPoint attached. Like the maths, I have recorded the instructions so just click on the audio button to hear what to do. Today, we will continue to look at the book ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm. We will read chapters 5 and 6, focussing on collecting information about the old woman’s appearance and personality.
I have attached chapters 5 and 6 to this blog if you wish to print them out.
If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the writing lesson at the following YouTube link:

Reading
It would also be super if you could spend 10-15 minutes each day reading your school book that you have taken home or another book you have been enjoying at home.
I have attached this week’s issue of First News for you to enjoy.
Remember to continue writing in your reading diary and get an adult to sign in, then we can collect our raffle tickets when we are back in school.
Why not tell me what book you are reading over on our discussion?
Spellings
Have a go at reading, saying in a sentence and spelling words with the suffix -ent. You could make your own spelling doodle and add to it throughout the week. I will add a new word each day and then on Friday we can have a little quiz.
Today’s word: confident
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint.
Have a super day Skylarks and remember I will be on our class discussion during the school day for a chat or to help you with your home learning 😊
Love from Miss Beattie x
