Friday 5th February 2021
Good morning super Swallows and welcome back to our class blog.
I hope you enjoyed some mindfulness and wellbeing time again yesterday. Did you make your own feelings scale? Did you spend some time looking up at the sky? I would like you to spend some time having fun outdoors doing whatever makes you happiest today.
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.
Maths – Can you add equal groups?
We are going continue with our brand new unit of work today focusing on multiplication. Please see the talking Power point video linked below. Today we will be adding equal groups.
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 x table. Remember to email our admin team if you would like your child's log in details.
Science – Can I identify and name a variety of plants and animals in their habitats?
SURPRISE! We thought we would mix things up a little bit today and swap our usual English lesson for a Science lesson. You have all worked SO hard and deserve a bit of a change.
Please see the talking Power point video linked below.
Here is a fun science game which can be played to secure your knowledge of food chains.
Chester Zoo Virtual Visit
To link with our learning about animals, why not take a virtual trip to Chester Zoo today? How exciting!
Reading
Please spend some time reading either the school book you took home with you or a book you have been reading at home each day. Please also remember to use our Oxford Owl website to access reading books online. Here you can access Read Write Inc and other story books at your level.

Can you create your own feelings chart? Maybe you could refer to it each day to tell your adults how you are feeling.
PE
Please have a look at this Go Noodle video during your active time today. It is all about being kind to yourself. If you are struggling to focus today, this video might help to refocus your mind, enabling you to prepare your mind and body for your learning time. Please then try to spend 20 active minutes outdoors.
