Hi Skylarks and welcome back to our blog 😊
Happy Thursday! I want to thank you all for working so hard at home and trying your very best with our online lessons. I know it can be tricky at times and I think you are all AMAZING for showing such perseverance and dedication. Thank you also for engaging with our class discussion and our daily zoom sessions. It is so lovely to be able to see you all, have a chat and share your home learning achievements.
Please see below for today’s home learning tasks.
Maths
Fraction Number Sequences: 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 looking at fraction number sequences.
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
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 be starting a new sequence of lessons all based on the book ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm. For our first lesson, we will be focussing on the character of the wicked stepmother and the vocabulary that is used to describe her.
If you wish to download and print the extract from Hansel and Gretel that we will be using today, I have attached it to this blog. However, this is not essential as the text will also be included and read aloud in our English PowerPoint/Video.
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 First News for you to read at home 😊
Don’t forget you can also read Jacqueline Wilson’s most popular book (The Story of Tracy Beaker) at the following link:

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: adorably
Previous words: comfortably, suitably, understandably
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint. Today we will begin a new book – what do you think it might be?
Computing
Barclays have some great online coding sessions available on their website aimed at children aged 7 and over. Why not try the first challenge today?
They all use scratch which is of course free to use online or download.
