Swallows - Friday 26th February 2021
Date: 26th Feb 2021 @ 6:58am
Good morning SUPER Swallows. Welcome back to our blog.
Please see our task list and PowerPoint presentations below to see what your home learning tasks are for today. Please also remember to take a few moments to look at the class discussion page each day where I will be available to ‘chat’ to you about the work that I have set for that day. You can just pop on there to say hi or tell have a little chat with your friends. The children can type in their own messages. It is a lovely, safe way of us staying in touch.
This half term, we have introduced a Foundation Subjects Club which you can dip in and out of in the afternoons and take part in as many as you like. I have attached all the details and links. I have also attached all the Worship details for the week so they are all in one place.
Maths - Can you solve problems involving the 2 x table? Can you explain the rule for multiplying by 2?
We are continuing to focus our learning on multiplication this week. Please see the talking Power point video linked below.
Here is the link to the White Rose video mentioned in the PowerPoint. You may want to use this link if you have any problems with sound today.
Times Tables
Please use Times Tables Rock Stars to continue to learn your 2,5 and 10 x table. If you would like your child's log in details, please contact the school office via the admin address and they will email them across to you.
Alternatively, you could play ‘Hit the Button’ or ‘Maths Fishing’.

Science – Can you describe what lives in a desert habitat?
Please see the talking PowerPoint video linked below. I have recorded the instructions so just click play and then pause when it is time to complete an activity.
Read Write Inc
Instructions for how to find your RWI learning for today can be found on our English PowerPoint. Here is the link to the Read Write Inc home page on YouTube. It might help to add this as a favourite so that you can quickly find your Read Write Inc learning each day. Please remember that the website updates at 9:30 each day. You may notice that the sounds will start to repeat soon. The children revisit sounds many times when we are teaching Read Write Inc in school. We want to encourage fluency. We want the children to be able to read a text containing each sound at speed, without the need to Fred Talk. In order to achieve this, the children need to see each sound several times. Please continue to focus on the spelling, red word and hold a sentence videos.

Spellings
It is time for our spelling quiz! Please quiz yourself on this week’s spellings. Let me know how many ticks you get on School Spider today. It would help if you continued to learn any spellings that you are still finding tricky.

We now have all of this week’s worships in one place. Please see the weekly worship page attached below.
Here is a link to our Story Time video with Mrs Powell.

It is a 5-a-day kind of day. Please spend some time completing some of our time to chill and workout videos.

Eco
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 bring your completed audits and interviews into school or email to admin that would be amazing and would really help towards our Eco-Schools Campaign.
Clubs
Our clubs are starting this week. Have a look at the attached list where you will find the links to our video PowerPoints. I have been in charge of our Craft club this week J.
Have a brilliant day Swallows and don’t forget to let me know how you are getting on with your learning today on School Spider. For those who added their homework to SchoolSpider yesterday, I added voice recorded feedback so I hope you received this. I will be doing this again today so please upload your learning to our homework section of SchoolSpider once you have completed it. I will then send you a special message. I will see you at 9:20 for our Zoom call this morning.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Lots of love from
Miss Gillam
