Good morning Skylarks and Happy Wednesday 😊
I want to start our blog by saying thank you for working so incredibly hard at home, I really couldn’t be any prouder of you all! It has been fantastic to see you all engaging with our class discussion and our daily zoom sessions. It is so lovely to be able to see you all and share your home learning achievements.
Please see below for today’s home learning tasks. Don’t forget to share it with me over on our class discussion or through the homework section of school spider.
Maths
Calculating perimeter: 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 continue to practice calculating perimeter.
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 x11 tables? Don’t forget to practice other tables that you still find tricky too. 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 – 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 continue to look at the book ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm. We will be using our illustrations from yesterday’s lesson and further forest images to help us write a setting description.
If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the writing lesson at the following YouTube link:
Here is the video about expanded noun phrases which you may wish to watch again before today’s lesson:
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.
Don’t forget you can read ‘The girl who stole an elephant’ by Nizrana Farook at the link below:
https://library.thenational.academy/steal-an-elephant-with-nizrana-farook/
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 -ibly. 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: possibly
Previous words: responsibly, incredibly
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint.
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.
Most of you will already have made an account, if so just login and take part in session 3: https://app.smilingmind.com.au/
If you are still having trouble accessing these resources, please don’t hesitate to get in contact.
Have a super day Skylarks and remember I will be on our class discussion during the school day for a chat or to help you with your home learning 😊
Love from Miss Beattie x
