Hello and welcome back to Swallows class blog.

The weekend is in sight! Keep working hard Swallows, you are nearly there. Did you enjoy reading our special new story ‘George and the Dragon’ yesterday? Isn’t the vocabulary fantastic? Did you complete any of our 5-a-day dance videos?

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 I subtract 2 digit numbers?  Please see the talking Power point attached at the bottom of the page. You will see a little icon on each page which needs to be clicked on in order to hear my voice. If you are struggling to hear the sound on the PowerPoint, here is a video of the full PowerPoint. You may need to come out of this to watch the White Rose video mentioned and linked below.

 Writing

Can I read and understand the text, answering questions to show what I have found out?  - See the Power point attached at the bottom on this blog post. Like the maths, I have recorded the instructions so just click on the audio button to hear what to do.

Again, here is a link to the video for if you are struggling to access the sound on your device.

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.

 Read Write Inc

Instructions for how to find your RWI learning for today can be found on our English PowerPoint.  

Spellings

Our spellings will be on our English Powerpoint each day. Please use your spelling whiteboard and roll and spell game to help you to learn them. We will complete our little spelling quiz each Friday.

Why not take your spelling work outside with you today? Yesterday wasn't a very good day for outdoor learning, was it? Hopefully today will be better! Can you use a paintbrush or your finger to write your spellings on the ground using water? Can you use leaves or twigs to create your spellings?

 

 Story

Please have a listen to our exciting story ‘WE ARE NOT FROGS’. You will find the audio at the end of our English PowerPoint. I will read a little bit of the story to you each day.  We are almost half way through our story now!

We are now on chapter 7 of 7! I wonder what will happen at the end of our story? I wonder what our BRAND NEW story is going to be on Friday?  

 

 Worship

Please spend some time singing along to some of our beautiful hymns today. I have given you two to choose from.

 PE – Please try to spend some time outside having a run around today. I have also attached a link to the 5-a-day fitness website. Swallows, you are going to LOVE the new dances! We love dancing along to these videos in school. Please let me know if you try a new dance in our class discussion today. Username: lost9261   Password: Ns9h0an6

Why not take part in our fitness challenge which started yesterday? Can you do 20 minutes or more of continuous movement AND 21 minutes or more of continuous exercise every day? Please see the attached poster and record sheet for details.  Please share your pictures on Twitter and use #2021FitnessChallenge and tag @ValeRoyalSSP.

 

Have a great day Swallows and don’t forget to let me know how you are getting on with your learning in our class discussion today.

 

Keep making me proud!

 

Lots of love from
