Thursday 25th February

Hello Skylarks 😊

Happy Thursday everyone. I hope you are all well this morning and ready for another day of remote learning.

It would be amazing to see more of you on our zoom this morning. You will find the link for this week’s meeting in your emails or on our class discussion. Please also remember to upload your work to our homework area so that I can provide you with feedback and offer any help that you may need.

Please see below for today’s remote learning tasks.

 

Maths

 

Long 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 going to continue to look at how to multiply two 2-digit numbers, looking specifically at column method for long multiplication.

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 focussing on vocabulary development. We will use dictionaries or the internet to define words taken from our text ‘Great Gods of Norse Mythology’.

If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the writing 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.

 

 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: caffeine

Previous words: receive, deceive, protein

 

 

   Eco Challenges

You may remember before half term, Mrs Brennan asked for your help with our Eco campaign. You were all fantastic at making posters, designing logos and making projects out of plastic bottles. However, she still needs your help!

We still need as many children as possible to complete the following 2 tasks:

  • Task 1: Carry out a 2-day single use plastic audit at home
  • Task 2: Interview an older person to ask them about their thoughts on if the amount of litter is increasing?

There are templates attached to today’s blog to help you to complete these remaining tasks. If you could then leave your completed audits and interviews into school or email to admin that would be amazing and would really help towards our Eco-Schools Campaign.

 

Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint. Today we will continue to read ‘The Boy in the Dress’ by David Walliams.

 

 

    Worship

This week for our signing worship, we will continue to learn/practice how to sing and sign ‘This Little Light of Mine’:
