Good morning and welcome back to Swallows class 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 add 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 our Titanium Times Tables Challenge which is attached to our blog today. You have 6 minutes to complete it. Good Luck!
Writing
Can you understand the vocabulary and features used in 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. 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.
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 each day. Please use your spelling whiteboard and roll and spell game to help you to learn them. Our quiz will be on Thursday this week.

Good luck with today’s tasks 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.
