Well, some classes will be returning to school this week. They will be social distancing which means only 15 in a class maximum. Hopefully, we will all see each other before the end of term but this may not happen. We are entering the Unknown…. again!

Any issues please don’t hesitate to email me or leave a comment on the blog…

We Won!!!

Well done to the children who played on Times Table Rockstars over Half Term. We managed to beat year 4 in a challenge and will now take on Year 5! We will start this next week so keep looking out. Well done to Aston Lightspeed, Connie Cash, Jay Coasters and Deke Criss! Our score was 1,474 so let’s try and beat that next time.

Maths:

Depending on where you are on the White Rose learning. Short videos which will benefit understanding. You can make your own questions….

Times Table Rock stars – Always useful to help the children with their times tables….

Classroom Secrets – We use this in class for maths and so the formats the children are used to…. Also really good for comprehension tasks..

The Green Ship – Part 1

I hate hearing my own voice on videos!!!!

Why do you think the book is called the Green Ship?

Why were the two children surprised?

Who could the voice belong to?

Final day of week. I hope you have a good weekend. Even though it is half term next week, I will put a story on the blog for the children. It may be useful to keep doing some maths also. I have promised a few children that I will get onto Times Table Rockstars, so that is my target for next week.

Final day of the story! Three by the Sea….

Can you write a book review? This is one of my favourite stories, if I am honest. I really like it as I am confused whether the Fox is a good character or a bad character.

Hello everybody. Hopefully you are all well and had a lovely weekend with your families.

Click on the image for White Rose Maths. Continue on Summer Week 3. If you are ahead on this then don’t worry.

This video may help in the learning of money. When learning money use real coins if you can.

Remember to use classroom secrets as I use this at home with Eoghan and it has some really good short activities to do.

English

Three by the Sea is this week’s class book. It is written by Mini Grey. It has been in our book corner so some of you may have read it! If you haven’t even better. You may have read Traction Man by Mini Grey last year in Year 2.

Let us make some predictions today. What do you think the book will be about? Use the illustration from the front cover as an idea to begin your thoughts.
