And here we go again! Welcome to Week 2 of home learning - a full week so try and keep on top of everything and let me know how you are getting on. All work needs to be submitted via Purple Mash, exactly like you have been doing. Try and get into good habits, especially with english and maths work. I am looking forward to seeing your work this week.
Finally, please send me photographs of you working at home so that I can add them to the weekly blog at the end of the week. We can have a mixture of in school and home learning to share. This will be wonderful!
Here is our timetable for today!
Daily tasks to complete
AR Reading. You can quiz at home and I will be keeping an eye on those targets and quizzes. I am expecting to increase targets later on this week. The button below will take you to the website so that you can quiz.
Epic is a website and app which has lots of free ebooks. There is free access to reading books for children between 7am-4pm on weekdays. On here you can find books by Accelerated Reader level (amazing). You may not be able to quiz on these on the Accelerated Reader Portal - but the main thing is that they are reading. Try and choose books that have a quiz with them. I have set up a profile for you all. All you have to do it download the getepic app or go to www.getepic.com/students and type in the class code: hrk6206. You can then select your name and start reading! I can also see what they are reading from home.
Times Table Rockstars
English - Clockwork Part 1
Clockwork - Part 1
Listen to me read the section of Part 1 that we will focus on today then take yourself to the lesson. We will be collecting more language from the book that indicates more about the theme of death and time.
How good are you at summarising? Can you do it and get to the point?
MATHS - COMPARING AND ORDERING FRACTIONS.
Today we are ordering fractions, it is a shorter lesson because of the long English lesson. Please submit your work on Purple Mash at the end of the lesson.
I have left the two videos on of my showing you how to simplify and compare fractions - I think they may be useful. Revisit them to support your learning.
10 minutes on TT Rockstars please to get warmed up - GO!
This button here will take you to a website called Maths is Fun. It explains every mathematical concept in a detailed and progressive way. Do not worry if you find simplifying fractions hard, we will be constantly revisiting it throughout the next few weeks. This website will help you understand simplifying better and will give you some extension questions.
GEOGRAPHY - THE UK
What do you know about the UK? Follow my little video lesson and complete my quiz. How many can you get right?
Take yourself then to Purple Mash and complete the UK cities quiz and the research page that I have set.
PE - Get outside and be active!
It is looking like rain this afternoon so try and get yourself outside this morning for some fresh air. Go for a walk to clear your head and get ready for the week ahead.
Why not try the following yoga class?
