Year 4 Weekly tasks for Week beginning Monday 30th March

To try something different this week, alongside daily Maths, English and reading, there are weekly tasks that you can pick from.

You can choose to do them any day which gives you a bit more freedom - see what you are in the mood for each day. You could choose to do a few on one day and none on another!

Follow the links below this image for the Science task

Year 3 Monday 30th March Learning from Home - please also look at the weekly home learning (it has a Sunflower image)

With all of this lovely sunshine that we have been having recently the daisies are beginning to grow in the gardens. What else can you see growing? Listen carefully and what can you hear? I’ve got lots of lovely birds singing in my garden and of course I can hear my hens clucking. They just love the sunshine! Think about all of these beauties of nature as you are in the garden this week. You will need it for science on Thursday.

Keep reading.

Have you taken a quiz yet? Make sure that you are trying hard to get those 100% scores.

Maybe have a look at some of the insect books on the free ebooks and take a quiz on those.( Again it will help you in science later in the week).

Maths

Keep doing the challenges on Sumdog. How are you doing? Had any burgers lately?

Roll a dice twice and make a 2 digit number. Write it down. Roll just one dice again and either add it to the first number or subtract it. Make sure that you line up the columns carefully. Check whether you have to exchange and make sure that you do this carefully. (Make sure that you take the bottom number from the top number when subtracting - BE CAREFUL!)

If you have no dice you could go on line  try : dice:    https://www.random.org/dice/?num=3

English

This week we will be building up to writing a non chronological report so we need to practise skills that will help us with this, today we will be learning to write a summary .

This is my example summary about Italy, this is what yours needs to look like. I used the Italy fact file below to gather my information (click on the button to access it and see what I read).

Title of the text - Italy

My summary is - Italy is a mainly Christian country in Europe, the capital is Rome. The weather is varied from part to part, with the coastal regions being warmer than the higher parts where it can be cold, wet and snowy in the winter months. The 60 million people population use the Euro and mainly speak Italian.

Press on the button below to see the text I read

What you need to do children

Part 1 - Please choose a fact file—France, Spain or Germany (Press on one of the buttons below, choose one you would like to use).

Part 2 - Read it (with a grown up to help if needed).

Part 2 - Pick out the most important parts to write a summary, when writing a summary remember these tips.

a. What are the main ideas? What is the most important and relevant?

b. Which information is irrelevant?

Part 3 - Write your summary in your home learning book or on 2write on Purple Mash (if you fancy practising your typing skills—you will find it in the English section on the home page).

RE

Can you read the story of The Cure of the Centurion?

A centurion was an important Roman soldier. He was the commander in charge of a hundred soldiers in the Roman Army that controlled Palestine at that time. It is possible that most centurions would not have liked the Jews, but this centurion was different…

Have you heard any of these words at Mass before?

Yes that’s right we say…‘Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the Word and my soul shall be healed.’ When do we say this?

Have a look at these Mass responses. Which ones have you heard before? Which ones do you know?

This week you are all going to become real ‘Creative Kiki Chameleons’ and write your own versions of the Flat Stanley chapter ‘The Museum Thieves’. Today I would like you to think carefully about what will happen in the five sections of your chapter - beginning, build up, problem/dilemma, conclusion, resolution.

Look carefully at the document attached below. I have used your ideas from last week’s learning to write what happens in the five sections of the chapter in the story. The next column in the table gives you prompts for your new version. The final column is for you to write your own ideas for your own chapter. Don’t worry if you are unable to print the planning sheet, just write out your new ideas in your English book. Be as creative as you can be, but don’t forget to use the original chapter as a guide. Remember, today you are not writing your chapter but are simply getting all of your ideas down. Have fun!

Year 2 Home Learning Challenges for the week

Good afternoon,

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and are fully rested and ready for the week ahead!

As you know, learning from home is completely new to us all and us teachers are constantly evaluating the effectiveness of our home learning tasks set for the children. This week I thought I would try something a little different. Like I did last week, I will be posting Reading, English and Maths activities for the children to complete daily. However, any other activities that I would like the children to complete are shown on the image below. This means that you and your family can sit down and create a timetable of when you would like to complete the activities. You may choose to complete more than one in a day which will give you some free time on another day, or you may continue to complete one activity per day. It is entirely up you - this is your home learning! I have attached a PDF version of the challenges below as this will enable you to click on the links I have included.

Have a great week, and don’t forget to spend some special time as a family too!

"I find my happiness where the sun shines"

What beautiful weather we have been blessed with this week. It could not have been more perfect! I would like to say a huge thank you for making me up to date on your learning at home through humorous daily round ups, and such lovely photos, receiving these has been the highlight to my days.

Next week the learning from home will follow a similar pattern. I have heard many positive comments about how much your children are enjoying Purple mash and Sum Dog. I have made sure that we utilise this enjoyment along with getting up and active.

I am wishing you all a wonderful weekend together, take care of one another and stay safe. Remember that I am always just an email away should you have any queries.

Take care and thinking of you all,

Miss Bassett

Physical Development in Action!

When I wrote my weekly newsletter and asked you to send me photographs of your physical development activities I had no idea just how resourceful you would all be! You’ve moved the furniture in your homes, you’ve taken to the back garden and some of you have even continued with your yoga!

Then there are those of you who have created a whole gymnastics display!
