Hi everyone 😊
Happy Monday Skylarks! I hope you all had a wonderful half term, I can’t wait to hear all about what you got up to during our zoom call this morning. You will find the link for this week’s zoom meeting in your emails or over on our class discussion.
Please see below for today’s remote learning tasks. We are also introducing our foundation subject clubs today which you can read more about below!
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 moving on to look at multiplication and will be multiplying by a 1-digit number using a variety of different methods.
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 will be moving on to look at a new text called ‘Great Gods of Norse Mythology’. In our lesson we will read the first few pages before applying our skimming and scanning techniques to retrieve information from the text.
I have attached the whole text below which you will need to print or have opened for our lesson today (we will be using this text for the next couple of weeks, so if you choose to print it, keep it somewhere safe).

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 Jeremy Strong. You can read his book ‘Romans on the Rampage’ at the link below:

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 ‘ee’ sound spelt ‘ei’. 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: receive
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint. Today we will begin to read ‘The Boy in the Dress’ by David Walliams.
Worship

Cave Gallery - Children’s Art in a Virtual Environment
Would you like to see your art work in an online art gallery?
The Cave is an online gallery for children and young people in and around Northwich to exhibit their Art work. The gallery is being developed for children to express their response of their experience in lockdown. The Cave hope to encourage young artists to set up their own galleries in a window of their home to curate and show their work in the local community.
The first online show will be for Easter 2021. The theme for the exhibition is ‘Hunker’. Many animals hunker down, hibernate and keep to their nests in winter and this winter we have joined them! We have been hunkering down since March and the experience has been very different for each of us. Please see the attached poster or visit the website linked below for more information on this exciting project. Please remember to submit your work before the end of March.

Have a wonderful Monday everyone 😊
