Hello my lovely team. I hope you had a good day yesterday and got a good balance of work, rest and play done. It was lovely hearing about all of your skills and talents!
Remember please phone or email admin@lostockgralam.cheshire.sch.uk to ask for a pack to be printed or to ask for any resources like paper/pencils/colouring pencils.
Maths
Fractions- See the Power point attached. Today is all about whole and parts in fractions.
Writing
Poetry- See the Power point attached. Today you will be beginning to think of ideas for your own poem. You could even split this lesson into two parts.
Brain Break
Have a go at winding down with a Cosmic Yoga session. https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga
or.... choose a colouring sheet from your work pack.
Or... if you feel like something more energetic can you design your own circuit or obstacle route in the garden? Maybe you were inspired by our Bean Bag jumper Riley on Tuesday!
Geography and Reading
As we have been thinking about rivers in English lessons I thought we could find out about rivers of the world. Look for the sheet called ‘The World’s Major Rivers’ in your pack (it is also attached to this Blog) Read the information and have a go at answering the questions.
(Remember your parents can sign Thursday in Week 3 for reading today)
Map work: Look for the world map in your packs (also attached to the Blog). Can you name the 7 continents? https://world-geography-games.com/ use this website to help.
Choose some of the rivers from your comprehension. Can you find out which continent they are in? https://world-geography-games.com/world_rivers.html and https://www.google.co.uk/maps/ can help.
History
If you are enjoying the Space Race work, then here is a link to some brilliant podcasts which Zach’s lovely mum found for us. Thank you.

Today’s word: Electrician (word family words: electric, electricity, electrical)
Previous words:
Politician (word family words: politics, political)
Musician (word family words: Music, musical) Magician (word family words: magic, magical)
Times Tables
Look for the target board 6x table sheet (also attached) Can you use the up-timer to see how quickly you can fill it in? https://www.timeme.com/count-up-timer.htm
TTRockstars https://ttrockstars.com/ Where can you get to on the leader board today?
Goldfinches I have looked at the local school leader board this is where we are at the moment. I think you will be able to move us up a bit in the next couple of weeks.
Worship
Sit comfortably and showing you are ready for worship then read the words in blue aloud.
We come together in the name of:
God the Father who gives us all things to enjoy,
God the Son who loves the world and all the people in it and
God the Holy Spirit who gives us the spirit of Thankfulness.
Our words of wisdom for thankfulness are ‘Always be thankful’
Think about all of the ideas you have had about Counting your Blessings this week.
Can you create your own acrostic poem which reflects your blessings. Here are my ideas below:
B eing healthy, being loved, being cared for.
L ovely meals, long walks and being listened to.
E nthusiasm and energy from everyone around.
S uper work from my wonderful Goldfinch team.
S inging to my favourite songs.
I always say yes to chocolate.
N ew experiences.
G oing for runs along the beautiful river nearby.
S kiing- my favourite sport.
Today just record your ideas and tomorrow will be the chance to present it in a lovely way.
Story time
