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.
Maths – Can you recognise equal groups?
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 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 have a go at singing and dancing along to the 2 x table stomp. This would make a great active break today.

Writing
Can you plan a new fact sheet?
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. Here you can access Read Write Inc and other story books at your level.

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.
Here is another great resource to access lots of brilliant reading books online.
Children use a QR code to access a range of stories being read by their authors. The link is: https://www.booksfortopics.com/storytime-online To scan the codes, please download the posters attached at the bottom of today’s blog.
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 each day. Please use your spelling whiteboard and roll and spell game to help you to learn them.

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
It is time for an ‘Open the Book’ worship again today. We love singing along to their special song in school, don’t we Swallows? Please sing along and listen to the story of ‘The Long Journey’. There are some lovely 'spot the difference' and 'crack the code' activities in today’s worship.
PE –
I think you are going to like this Swallows…
Please spend some time chasing dinosaurs today. Today we are going to complete the Ice Age challenge. Can you run and dodge to escape the dinosaurs?

Safer Internet Day
Today we are going to celebrate #SaferInternetDay which aims to raise awareness and make the internet a safer and better place for all.
As we are all on this remote learning journey, we are probably spending a lot more time on the internet and so knowing how to keep ourselves safe is more important than ever!
Here are some internet safety tasks that you may wish to complete today:
- Watch Detective Digiduck as he discovers that the information he finds on the internet might not always be true.
https://www.childnet.com/resources/digiduck-stories/detective-digiduck
- Make your own Digiduck poster explaining how you can stay safe online – you can use the template attached to our blog or design your own.
- Sometimes being online becomes too much and it is important to take a minute, switch devices off and talk to a grown up or do something calming and relaxing. This video might help you:
Please share your posters and storyboards with us on Twitter using the hashtag #SaferInternetDay
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. I will see you at 9:20 for our Zoom call this morning. Please have a piece of work that you are proud of ready to share with your friends at the end if you would like to.
Lots of love from
Miss Gillam
