Good morning 

Happy Thursday Swallows!

How are you this morning? It was fantastic to see so many of you on our zoom meeting yesterday! Today’s meeting will start at 9:20 am again – please see your emails or our class discussion for the meeting link and password.

Please see below for today’s home learning tasks.

 Maths – Can I count money? Today we are going to be learning how to count money with a focus on pounds.  Please see the link to our talking PowerPoint below. Please pause the video to complete each activity. Just like yesterday, I have embedded the White Rose video onto our PowerPoint. This should mean that you do not need to leave the video. As the PowerPoints are such large documents to download, we feel it would be best for everyone to access their learning via the YouTube link.  We hope that this will make accessing your home learning even easier. Fingers crossed Miss Gillam’s new trick works…

  Times Tables

Today we are going to continue to learn our 5 x table. Here is a link to a game that you can play online. Coconut Multiples is a tablet-friendly maths game which can reinforce your knowledge of times tables by helping you to recognise the multiples from each table. I want you to think to yourself, will I say this number if I am counting in 5s? Please select multiples of 5 first. You could then have a go at spotting multiples of 2 and 10 if you wanted to.

 I have also attached a ‘Multiplication Muddle’ board game to the blog which you could choose to play if you wanted some time away from the screen.

 Writing - Can I add –ed to the end of a present tense verb?

Please see the talking PowerPoint video linked below. Like the maths, I have recorded the instructions so just click play and then pause when it is time to complete an activity.

I have attached the story of ‘Saint George and the Dragon’ to our blog so that you can make reference to the text throughout today’s lesson. You do not need to print this to be successful in today’s lesson as I have also copied the text onto our slides.

 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.

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.

Here are some little games which might make learning your spellings more fun today. I have attached the full document at the bottom of our blog today.

 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

This week for our signing worship, we are going to start to learn ‘Our God is a Great Big God’:
