Date: 24th Feb 2021 @ 3:10pm
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 make doubles?
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 write a letter to a family member of friend to find out more about their toys?
Can you use the conjunctions because/when to extend your sentences?
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.
I have also attached a brilliant board game for you to print out and play. Can you change the tense of each verb? Will you win the race?
Did you enjoy our book club yesterday? I loved seeing some of your favourite books. We will have another book sharing zoom next Wednesday.
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.
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 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.

Worship
We now have all of this week’s worships in one place. Please see the weekly worship page attached below. Perhaps you could sing and sign to ‘This Little Light of Mine’ today?
PE
Fitness Challenge
Can you complete some teddy challenges in your active time today? All you need is some teddy bears and a clear space that you can jump in.
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.
Lots of love from
Miss Gillam
