Monday 1st March
Good morning Skylarks and happy Monday 😊
I can’t believe it is March already! I hope you all had a lovely weekend and made the most the sunnier weather. I am feeling very excited this morning because one week today we will all be back in our classroom together!!
It would be amazing to see you all on zoom this morning. You will find this week’s new meeting link and passcode in your emails or on our class discussion this morning.
Please see below for today’s remote learning tasks. Don’t forget you can also take part in a variety of new clubs across the week. Please see below for more details on what is on offer this week.
Please remember that I will be available on our discussion/homework area throughout the school day to help you and provide feedback on your work.
Maths
Multiplication: 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 are going to continue to look at column method or long multiplication and will focus on multiplying a 3-digit number by a 2-digit number.
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 I would like you to practice any tables that you still find tricky up to 12 x 12. 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
Great Gods of Norse Mythology: 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 are going to be reading about the Norse God Thor. We will also revise what expanded noun phrases are and will be writing our own to describe Thor.
I have attached the whole text below which you will need to print or have opened for our lesson today.

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.
This week’s author of the week is Dominique Valente. At the link below, you can get lost in the world of Starfell! Listen to an audiobook of the first in the series, Willow Moss and the Lost Day and watch an exclusive video with the author to find out more about the books and her best writing advice.

I have also attached the final online issue of ‘First News’ for you to enjoy at home.
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
This week, I would like you to revisit the spelling rules we have learnt during our period of remote learning. Can you come up with your own spelling words for each of the rules below?
- Suffix -able (e.g. suitable)
- Silent letter t (e.g. listen)
- Suffix -ably (e.g. understandably)
- Suffix -ibly (e.g. incredibly)
- Suffix -ent (confident)
- Suffix -ence (e.g. evidence)
