Good morning Skylarks 😊
Happy Tuesday everyone! I hope you are all well today and had a great Monday. Please don’t forget to join our zoom session this morning at 8.40am. I can’t wait to see you all!
Please 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.
Today we are going to celebrate #SaferInternetDay which aims to raise awareness and make the internet a safer and better place for all.
As we are all on this remote learning journey, we are probably spending a lot more time on the internet and so knowing how to keep ourselves safe is more important than ever!
Here are some internet safety tasks that you may wish to complete today:
- Watch the Safer Internet Day lesson using the link below which will go live this morning at 11am, however you can watch it any time after this too. In this lesson we will learn about how we can stay safe, responsible and wise in an increasingly digital world, with tips and advice from some of the biggest personalities on the internet: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/live-lessons/safer-internet-day-live-lesson/zdh2wnb
- Using what you have learnt in the lesson above, create a story board or poster to show how to stay safe when online. You could use the templates attached to today’s blog or simply design your own.
- Join Dr Chips and Ms Lieghio for a Safer Internet Day live special! They’ll be launching a brand new online game about phishing scams,‘ The Phisherman’, for KS2 children. Join live at 1.30pm today or watch again at this link at a time to suit you: https://youtu.be/lHbRiFmUFkw
- Sometimes being online becomes too much and it is important to take a minute, switch devices off and talk to a grown up. The following videos help to explain how we might feel online and explain that we may need to take a minute away from devices to focus our minds on something calming and relaxing: https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/2018/sid-tv-2018/sid-tv-2018-how-i-feel-online-film-7-11-year-olds
Please share your posters and storyboards with us on Twitter using the hashtag #SaferInternetDay
Maths
Metric Units: 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 metric units of measure. We will learn how to convert between metres (m), centimetres (cm) and millimetres (mm), as well as litres (l) and millilitres (ml).
To do this we will need to apply our knowledge of multiplying and dividing by 10, 100 and 1000 so I have attached a place value grid which you may find useful to print or have open in front of you during the lesson.
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 x12 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 will be our final lesson on the book ‘Hansel and Gretel’. We will be focussing on our use of punctuation today and will become punctuation detectives to spot the mistakes.
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.
This week’s author of the week is former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq. You can read her book ‘Cookie and the Most Annoying Boy in the World’ at the link below:
https://library.thenational.academy/get-to-know-cookie-and-konnie-huq/
I have also attached issue 5 of ‘First News’ for you to enjoy throughout the week!
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 -ence. 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 Thursday we can have a little quiz.
This week’s spelling quiz will take place on Thursday due to a change in the remote learning timetable on Friday (you will find out more about this later in the week).
Today’s word: silence
Previous words: evidence
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint.
Worship
Today we will take part in an Open the Book worship where we will listen to the story of ‘The Long Journey’:

Have a wonderful day everyone 😊
