Good morning Skylarks and happy Monday 😊
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for another busy week of home learning.
This morning is a very exciting morning because it is the first morning where we will have the opportunity to see each other and chat live on zoom! Please see your emails or our class discussion for the zoom link. See you all at 8.40am!
Please remember that I am also available during the school day to support you with your learning. So, if you need any help, or just want to say hello, write a message in our class discussion and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.
Please see below for today’s home learning tasks.
Maths
Equivalent Fractions: Today in maths we are moving away from multiplication and division and spending some time looking at fractions. Our first lesson will focus on equivalent fractions. Please see the PowerPoint attached. Just click on the little speaker icon on the PowerPoint page to listen.
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 x7 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
Setting description: 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 writing a setting description using an image as the stimulus.
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.
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 -ably. 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: understandably
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.
Remember you can take part in our fitness challenge to help you stay active! Don’t forget to log your activity on the record sheet and share photos of yourself taking part in the challenge on Twitter using #2021FitnessChallenge and tag @ValeRoyalSSP.
Here are some great resources you can use at home to stay active:

Have a fantastic day Skylarks and remember to show our Christian values in everything you do! I look forward to chatting with you all on our zoom session and class discussion today.
