Good morning super Swallows!
Welcome back!
I hope you all had a lovely, restful break and you are ready for your first busy day of home learning this week. I am excited to hear all of your news on our Zoom call this morning where we can do some show and tell. I’ll also be available for a ‘chat’ on the School Spider Class Discussion and Homework page today.
We are getting straight back into the swing of things this morning. I would like you to complete each activity on our task list for me today.
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 use the ‘x’ symbol?
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’.

Writing - Can you read and answer questions about the text?
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.
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. There are lots of new books on here.

If you get an adult to sign your reading diary each time you read, you will still be able to collect your raffle tickets when we are back in school.
We will have our own book club on Zoom this week so please have your recommendations ready.
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
Our sparkly new spellings will be on our English PowerPoint today. Please use your spelling whiteboard and roll and spell game to help you to learn them. Our quiz will be on Friday this week.

Story
Please have a listen to the next chapter of our beautiful story ‘The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark’. You will find the audio at the end of our English PowerPoint. I will read a little bit of the story to you here each day.
Worship
We now have all of this week’s worships in one place. Please see the weekly worship page attached below.
Please click the link to Mrs Powell’s worship today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c69EUY9_tY&feature=youtu.be
PE – I wonder if you can make up your own circuit today Swallows. Choose six different exercises and number them 1-6. Roll a dice (or write 1-6 on some small pieces of paper and pick them out of a pot)
Whichever number you roll or pull out of the pot, do the exercise for 30 seconds.
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 first day back to home learning Swallows and don’t forget to let me know how you are getting on with your learning today on School Spider. I will see you at 9:20 for our Zoom call this morning.
Lots of love from
Miss Gillam
