Maths weekly focus: Time / Telling of the
time
Design a poster, song, rhyme anything to help you remember: the number of seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour, hours in a day, number of days in each month, days in a year and leap year. Make your own clock to use with this weeks learning. Read the time from clocks around your house both using 12 and 24 hour clock. (worksheets on the left) Event duration – If its 8 o’clock when I wake up and it is 1 hour 15 minutes until my favourite TV programme. What time does the programme begin? Write some of your own word problems and work out the time difference.
Literacy (including handwriting/spelling/reading) Read, read, read.
If you have finished your reading challenge book – Complete a review. Write in role as a character. Write any key information you have found out. Read any books you have at home. Spelling: See the “Spot the Spelling errors” document on the left. Keep writing and adding a paragraph each day to your daily diary (you can add pictures)
Write a story including the 5 key words: dance, famous, swim, sun, imagine. Be creative, imaginative and we would love to read some of these if you email them to our class page.
Other ideas: Look on the right of this page for some other curriculum ideas under PDF 6.

Acts of Kindness:
In school we discussed acts of kindness to complete throughout Lent. Reflect on what acts of kindness you have completed whilst at home. Have you helped wash the pots? Given someone a hug? Helped with jobs around the house? Set the dinner table without being asked? Tidied your room?
Design a poster/leaflet with the acts of kindness you have completed, including a picture and remember to add colour.
Holy Week:
Home learning ideas you may
complete throughout Holy Week. Create a booklet about the Easter
Story to share - Below are some suggested art themed activities for
you to complete after your writing.
Monday: Yesterday was Palm Sunday: Design your own Palm to
celebrate Jesus entering Jerusalem.
Tuesday: Jesus washed his disciples feet: Draw around your foot and
write key words to show why Jesus washed his disciples feet - For
example: serve, lead, example, love.
Wednesday: The Last Supper. Draw a picture of Jesus with his
disciples at the last supper. Add some speech bubbles around to
show what the disciples/Jesus may be
thinking/saying.
Thursday: Garden of Gethsemane – Draw or design your own garden
using materials from your garden and maybe an old shoebox/cereal
box? Make a collage to recreate Jesus’ visit to the Garden and act
out.
You may want to write a prayer as Jesus/one of the disciples.
Maths:
To complete: The uploaded equivalent fraction sheets.
Handwriting/Spelling:
Focus on your joins and spelling when you write out The Easter
Story.
Practise this week's spellings from the attached PDF document on

I hope you are all well and
ready to go! Wake up - make your bed, eat breakfast, brush your
teeth, tidy your room – Your usual morning routine before schools
begins.
Yesterday, I participated in the
Joe Wicks 30 minute exercise LIVE at 9am! This morning you should
do the same. It is a lot of fun and starts your day great. Use the
link on the class pages to tune in. Make sure you have water with
you – hydration is key.
MATHS
I can find pairs of 2 digit
numbers to total 100. (see picture A for help) Remember these need
to be known super quick. Maybe write them down before? After,
practise rapid recall.
Extension: I can work out what
must be added to any 3 digit number to make the next multiple of
100. (see picture B for help)
LITERACY
Literacy and Language blue
book – Unit 2, Homework 1. Homophones.
Read the homophone poem. Can you
find the homophones? Write them into your book. Write them into a
sentence to show you understand the difference.

around the playground.

blue.
