Wow - what a response to our class competition! Great creativity and superb ideas shown by everyone who sent in their Superhero designs – we are currently working our way through them all.

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.

UPDATE 5: POSTED 07/04/20

Last week we saw excellent examples of your learning and creativity on our school Twitter page. We really enjoyed the TT battle and hope you did – Well done on the win.

Mrs Hanley is keeping fit by going for a run each morning – give her a shout from your window if you see her! I’m completing the daily Joe Wicks challenge – I love starting the day with exercise. Most importantly we hope you are staying safe and well.

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:

Times table rock stars.
See PDF for targets/daily ideas.
Abacus: I have added some worksheets, mastery tasks and interactive games to your accounts. Keep working on them. Remember it needs to be completed 100% at Bronze, Silver and Gold level to be completed.

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)

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.
