Good morning everyone.  I hope you are all well rested and ready for a bit more home learning.

For our maths today we are returning to multiplication.  We are going to have a quick reminder about how we use arrays.

Have a look at the PowerPoint, you will need to have a pencil and paper ready to go.

Please can you practise your spellings.  In class, sometimes we practise our spellings  by writing them BIG, small and  without looking at all.  You could try this at home.

Have a little brain break…

For your English today, you are continuing with your Rainforest Creature Report.  On Friday you started writing your report.  Today you are going to have another 20  minutes or so to continue writing.  Please can you take lots of care with your presentation.  You need to show that you can use these features of a report when you are writing yours.

• A bright colourful title
• Sub-headings to tell the reader what each paragraph is about
• A description of your animal (this is the introduction)
• A paragraph about what your animal eats – its prey
• A paragraph about what eats your animal- its predators
• A paragraph about where your creature lives – its habitat
• Pictures of your creature with labels
• A fact box with your 3 facts in it
• Lots of lovely, bright decoration to make the reader want to read it.

Write for about 20 minutes.  Then put it all in a safe place for Tuesday, when we will continue with it.  Remember to make it bright, colourful and inviting to the reader.

If you would like to do some handwriting, here is the paper and a short video to show you the joins to practise.

Here is a reading comprehension about artist Georgia O’Keefe.  Earlier this year, we looked at some of her amazing paintings of flowers and then used this as inspiration for our own work.  Have a read and see what you can remember.  As always, 3 is the trickiest.

This afternoon I thought we would go on a little school visit.  I have found a lovely website which is a virtual rainforest tour.  Have a little look at the amazing creatures.  I hope you have a fantastic time.  The video has got some lovely videos and great information. Obviously, the sloth video is my favourite!  it’s filmed in double time so you can actually see them moving.

Rainforest Visit

I hope you have a lovely day,

let me know how you get on.

Hello everyone!  We have managed to make it through another busy week.  I hope you are all well.

I have sent all parents an email with your children’s email address and password on.  Next week we will have a meet up to do a bit of show and tell.  It will be so lovely to see everyone.  Please don’t worry, if you just want to show up and wave, that’s absolutely fine, nobody has to speak.  It will just be nice to see each other.  I will let you know the details here, on a web post, and then send out invitations to your children’s emails.  Mrs Andrew’s video will show you how to set up their emails, if your are unsure.

We will begin with our Friday with a maths warm up.

To start with, I’d like you to practise your number bonds for 10 or 20. Then, if you are feeling brave, 100.

In our maths lesson,  we are continuing to find change.  Have a look at the PowerPoint.

Today, I’d like you to work out if the change you have been given is correct.

Here are the sheets.  As usual, sheet 4 is the most tricky.

You will definitely need a brain break now!

For our English today, we are going to begin writing our reports.

If we were at school, I would give you lots of cut up text boxes both lined and plain.  You could then draw pictures or write the paragraphs in them and arrange them as you wanted to on a larger piece of paper.  You can make them bright and colourful with pictures and decorations.

Here are some text boxes and  picture/diagram boxes for you to cut up and use if you wish.

Rainforest Report text boxes

Today we are going to begin writing our reports.  You will need all your notes.  Read through your notes and as you are writing them, turn them into whole sentences with capital letters and full stops.

Your report will need to show off these features:

• A bright colourful title
• Sub-headings to tell the reader what each paragraph is about
• A description of your animal (this is the introduction)
• A paragraph about what your animal eats – its prey
• A paragraph about what eats your animal- its predators
• A paragraph about where your creature lives – its habitat
• Pictures of your creature with labels
• A fact box with your 3 facts in it
• Lots of lovely, bright decoration to make the reader want to read it.

Write for about 20 minutes.  Then put it all in a safe place for Monday, when we will continue with it.

We will aim to finish our reports on Wednesday. So we will do 20 minutes today, another 20 minutes on Monday, Tuesday and finish it off on Wednesday.

Use all your notes to help you, don’t try and write it from memory.  This is a final copy of your report so use your best handwriting and take lots of pride in your work.

I hope this makes sense, if not, please email me and let me know!!

You definitely need another brain break after this!!!

On Friday afternoon we have Computing.

This week we are continuing with programming.

Log on to the ilearn2 website. Here is the link.

Then type in code Y654

Today you are working on activity 4.  Watch the video and then practise the skills.  You are always so much better at this than me!

For our RE today I’d like you to have look at the story of Mosses and the 10 Commandments.

The 10 Commandments

I’d like you to read/share the story and think about what rules we have and why.  They might be home rules, school rules, rules we are all sticking to, to keep us safe and well.  Have a chat about why rules are so important. What might happen if we had not rules?

I hope you have a lovely weekend, thank you for all your hard work yet again this week.

Love from Mrs Pope

Good morning everyone.  I hope you are all well and ready for some more learning.

Lets wake our brains up.

Super Movers

I thought you might like this and it will be pretty useful for your maths today!  It makes my eyes go funny but I hope you enjoy it.

This morning we are going to continue with money.  Today we are going to look at giving change.  Here is the PowerPoint.  Work through this.  You will need a pencil and paper for some calculating.  I have also put a numberline for you to use to support you if needed.  When you have worked through the PowerPoint, there is a link to take you to a game.  I would like you to play this game for your maths today.

Please can you practise your spellings.  If you want to make it more exciting, you could work out their values on this scrabble sheet.  What is your Highest spelling word score?

Perhaps you need a bit of a brain break?

This is one of our favourite bedtime stories in my house!

So far this week, you have written a description of your rainforest creature and you did some amazing research yesterday all about what your creature eats, and what eats your creature.  I hope you found the words carnivore, herbivore, omnivore, nocturnal, diurnal, prey, predator useful.  Keep your fantastic notes safe. You will need them when we write our report.

Today I would like you to do a little more research.  This is our last day of research before we begin writing.  I would like you to find out about where your animal likes to live.  It’s habitat.  We know it is a rainforest creature, but where in the rainforest does it live and hunt.

• Does it live in the canopy or on the forest floor. 
•  Does it have a den or a nest or a burrow?
• How does it move around, does it walk, fly or slide?
• Does it have a territory that it protects or does it travel wherever it wishes?

When you have found out some facts about your creatures habitat, I would like you to find out 3 fun facts that you think other people would like to know about your creature.

Please can you find 5-10 minutes to read your reading book.  If you are running low on books at home to read and share, or just fancy a different read, have a look on this website.  An adult will have to create a log in – but it is free and they have loads of free E Books.

Oxford Owl

This afternoon is our PE afternoon. Go for a walk, a bike ride, make up a dance to your favourite song, have lots of fun doing something active you enjoy.

If you fancy a bit of yoga, here is a link for you.

Have a lovely day, let me know how you are getting on,

Love from Mrs Pope

Good morning everyone, I hope you managed to find plenty of time to play in the snow yesterday.  We had great fun at home making a snow monster over the weekend.

Hopefully you are all warm and toasty and ready to go today.  Let’s warm our brains up.

Super Movers Money

Today we are continuing with our work on money.  Have a little look at this PowerPoint.  You may want to have a pencil and paper at the ready as you are going to need to do some investigating.

Tuesday PowerPoint

For our English work today we are going to continue writing reports.  We will be using the same features that we looked at last week.

• Title
• Introduction
• Subheadings
• Diagram
• Labels
• Fact box

This week we are going to be taking notes.  You will need to keep your notes safe all week so that we will be able to use them to write our final report.  We do this in school all the time, only we keep our work in our English book.  We practise skills and then use them when we are confident .

Today we are going to choose a rainforest creature, pick your favourite.  I am going to choose the sloth because they are so cool, calm and collected and they always look like they are smiling!

But there are literally thousands you could choose from.  I would like you to choose your creature, Then find a picture of it, either using books or on the internet.  Make sure your write ‘for kids’ when you are searching the internet.  Have your picture in front of you if you can.  Have a look at the PowerPoint below and write your description of your animal.  Remember, these are notes, you will need them for your final report later in the week.

Here are some good weblinks if you would like to use them.

For our art this afternoon we are returning to texture.  Texture is how something feels.  Artists have to show texture in their art work.

Make sure you have a sharp pencil and have a go at copying some of these textures.

Last week in our PSHE lesson we thought about our responsibilities and how your responsibilities are different to an adults. For your PSHE today I would like you to think about jobs and careers.  Can you find out what the adults in your house do as a job.  How many jobs can you think of, you could time yourself for 2 minutes, how many can you come up with?

What kinds of jobs interest you?  Have a chat with someone at home about the types of job you are interested in doing and why.

I hope you have a lovely day.

Let me know if you need anything and how you get on.
