Hello everyone.

Just a reminder that the children will be having their photos taken, tomorrow. Please send your child in wearing their school uniform with their P.E. kit in a bag.

Boys and girls will change for P.E. separately with adult supervision.

Thank you

For those isolating at home, here is what we got up to today…

Maths

Fractions. We divided numbers by 10 to find tenths and by 100 to find hundredths. We talked about moving numbers to the right once in the place value chart: Th H T O when dividing by 10 and twice to the right when dividing by 100. Here is the Busy Ants sheet we did. Choose the challenge which is right for you. Finding tenths and Hundredths

English

We read the story of ‘Four Feet, Two Sandals’. You can hear it being read here: Story

We discussed the events/issues that Lina had to face in the story and how she might feel. Try this activity: Task

Science

I introduced the new topic of ‘States of Matter’. We discussed the 3 types: Solids, Liquids & Gases. We looked at lots of examples and sorted them into the 3 groups, e.g. ice lolly, paper, oxygen, rock, helium, lemonade, sponge, cream, etc We discussed that some of these can change states. We then looked at the particle arrangements. This video clip might help you understand:  clip

We also did our reading skills work and practised our times tables.

Hello! to those isolating at home. Here is the work we did today.

Monday lesson ppt

We started a new book today. Please have a look at the part reveal of the front cover on the first slide – What do you think the book will be about? What do you think the title will be? Then go through the powerpoint to find out what the front cover truly looks like and answer the questions. Here is the word document you need for the matching activity – Look at the words in blue first – do you know any of them? Then try and find the correct definition. You could check your ideas in a dictionary or discuss with an adult.

In the afternoon, we did PE and Art. You could try sketching the font cover (without the words) or even make a collage of it.

Please remember to read your reading book.

Here is the Topmarks link for practising your times tables. Topmarks
