Friday 29th January
Good morning Skylarks and HAPPY FRIDAY 😊
How are you all today? I think you all deserve a big pat on the back for another fantastic week of home learning. You are all super stars!!
Don’t forget our final zoom session of the week starts at 8.40am this morning.
Today, and every Friday from now on, we will be swapping either our maths or English lesson for a science lesson which everyone should take part in. You will find all of the details about this below under the ‘Science’ section. Today we will be doing English and Science.
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 continue to look at the book ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm. Today we will be focussing on the Y5/6 spelling word list. We will use these words to create our own spelling doodle before applying some of these words in sentences.
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.
Science
Today we will be starting a new topic in science. We will be learning all about forces in our new sequence of lessons which will be posted on our blog every Friday. This will replace either a maths or English lesson on this day.
In today’s science lesson we will be answering the question ‘What are forces?’
Attached to our blog today, are some worksheets that you may wish to print, however this is not essential. You can simply record your answers on some plain/lined paper 😊
The science lesson is too large to attach as a PowerPoint so please access the lesson at the following YouTube link:

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:

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 -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: terribly
Previous words: horribly, possibly, responsibly, incredibly
We will be having a mini quiz on these five spelling words at the end of our English lesson today.
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint.
Worship
Each Friday, Mrs Powell will record a story time worship based upon our No Outsiders work and our Christian value Respect. Today she is reading the story ‘Boogie Bear’ by David Walliams.
You can watch today’s worship here:
Have a wonderful weekend Skylarks! Stay safe, be kind and remember our Christian values in everything that you do 😊
Love from Miss Beattie x
