Good morning everyone. Lovely to see you all again, I can’t believe that we are at the end of our second week already.
Well done for all of your super learning so far, we just love getting all of your pictures. Keep them coming in and we will keep posting them on our blog.
Remember it’s the weekend and the start of the Easter holidays, (no blog until Tuesday 14th April) so try to do something lovely as a family. Remember to keep smiling and to be kind to everyone. Don’t forget to make time for God too - this Sunday is Palm Sunday - maybe you could look up the story and read it. Then next weekend we have the Easter celebrations - have a look at the stories and share them together as a family.
We have put some lovely Easter activities that you might want to look at. (These will be on the blog from Sunday)If you send photos, we will post them on the class blog after the holiday.
Today we would like you to try to make sure that you have done all of the tasks set so far this week, and to also get the tasks done for today. Have you checked out the weekly challenges?
Keep reading
Try to do 30 minutes reading and don’t forget to take a quiz if you need to. Why not read a story to a little brother or sister, choose an ebook with them and then you could quiz on it when you have finished. I have checked Acceleread today and there are lots of children close to their target, keep up the great work.
EPIC READING - Let’s keep growing a love of reading!
We are very excited because we have found a new reading resource for your child to use - Epic Reading. Epic reading can be used online or on the app. It has a huge selection of ebooks, completely free and the best thing is…you can find books using your child’s ZPD level! This is brilliant as it means your child can read books that accurately match their reading level. There are also lots of quizzes to do. It’s super easy to set up, using your email. If you would like to get involved, please email us on l.brisco@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk and k.edmondson@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk. We will then link your email to your child’s profile so that you can access the books at home. Miss Hornby has also asked if in the email you send, you can give permission for us to add your email to Texts to Parents; it would be very handy to have your emails saved on our system. Thank you.
Sumdog/IXL
Don’t forget these challenges. Play some of the games on Sumdog (Have you managed to add a cow to your pile in the junkyard game yet? I also like the cake monster game. Delicious!!!) and have a go at some of the units on addition and subtraction on IXL.
We have put some Sumdog spelling challenges on too, so that you can practise your spellings. (We have used spellings from this week and also from previous weeks.) Why not have a go.
Maths
Roll a dice three times and make a 3 digit number. Write it down. Roll the dice three times 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!!!)
(Check Monday’s Home Learning blog for how to generate numbers)
English
Today I would like you to write a non chronological report about Italy using your notes from earlier in the week. Please write an introduction using your notes on where Italy is and then write a paragraph for each of the headings I gave you, you will need to turn your notes into full sentences now.
Remember to write neatly and to join your writing carefully please. We are looking for pen points.
For example with my note of Capital - Rome
I could now write
The capital city of Italy is Rome, it is on the coast of Italy. It is situated in the centre of Italy.
Please use 2Publish on Purple Mash to complete this piece of work so I can see them. To find it just type 2Publish into the search box on the Purple Mash home page, open 2Publish and then go on to the template called ‘What I have learned’, which will allow you to type and add images. Before you start please look at these examples so you can see what they could look like.
There is also a list here of things to try and include in your report.
Remember to use
Super spelling
Full stops and some commas too
Capital letters—don’t forget for place names too
Interesting sentence starters
RE
The end of another week. Think about all the things that someone you live with has done for you this week, be grateful. Draw them a picture to make them smile, write them a little note on the back of the picture to explain to them why you are grateful. Make a promise to them to do something kind for them before the end of the day. Share this with them.
