Wednesday 13th January
Good morning Skylarks and welcome back to another day of home learning 😊
Today, I will be calling all parents to discuss how you are getting on at home. This will be a great opportunity to ask any questions and discuss any concerns you may have. I look forward to chatting with you all soon!
Our discussion is also still up and running today so you can post any questions or completed work on there for me to see and respond to.
Maths
Inverse Operations: 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 focussing on using inverse operations. There are quite a lot of questions on the PowerPoint today as I wanted to give you lots of opportunities to practice, however don’t feel like you have to answer them all. Just do what works best for you!
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 x9 tables. 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
The Lighthouse – Diary Entry: 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 be using a short video clip as a stimulus for our writing. We will then write a diary entry from the perspective of the character in the video.
If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the writing lesson and story time at the following YouTube link:
Here is the link for the ‘Lighthouse’ story you are asked to watch in today’s lesson (you will need this if you are watching the lesson through YouTube as you cannot click the link directly from the video):

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.
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.
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 silent T letter. 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: glistening
Previous words: whistle, listening
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint – I wonder what the midnight fox will get up to next?
PE
Keeping active is so important for our physical and mental health.
Why not take part in our fitness challenge starting today? Can you do 20mins or over of continuous movement and 21 mins or over of continuous exercise every day? Please see the attached poster and record sheet for more details. You may not be able to participate every day but every day counts so do what you can. we would love to see photos of everyone taking part in the challenge on Twitter and to use #2021FitnessChallenge and tag @ValeRoyalSSP.
Here are some further resources you can use at home to stay active:

Worship
Today for our worship I would like you to take part in a guided meditation on My Smiling Mind, just like we do in school.
In order to access the resources at the link below you will need to sign up to a free account (it only takes 2 minutes!) Once you have signed up, select the age category ’12 and under’. Then you need to select which type of mindfulness activities you are interested in, I recommend choosing ‘improving wellbeing’. Finally select the resources for ’10-12 year olds’ and you will now have access to 60+ mindfulness sessions that are great to help your child relax, unwind and switch off after a busy day of home learning.
Please do let me know if you have any trouble gaining access to these resources and I will do my best to help.

Have a great day Skylarks! Remember if you need any help with our work today, I will be on our class discussion throughout the school day.
