Science -.. NEW NOTE FROM MRS LYONS from Monday Morning! WE CANNOT DO THIS SCIENCE TODAY BECAUSE IT IS ALL ABOUT SHADOWS. WHY CAN’T WE DO IT ON A RAINY DAY? (Mrs Lyons will put this Science task later on in the week when it will be sunny!)

Today’s investigation is all about shadows. You may need to do this activity first, so that you can watch your shadow outside at different times during the day. Follow the lesson below and make sure you click on the links to find out more about shadows? What are they?

We’ve come to the end of another week, so it’s time to share your learning from home photos again.

There have not been as many of them this week as some of you have been back in school and the photos from school have been posted each day. I hope that you will enjoy this little movie of photos.

Remember to check the class webpage each day next week for more learning from home lessons. Next week we have some learning all about MONSTERS!!! Don’t forget to send me your photos - we love to see them and I will share them with everyone next Friday.

Well done Year 3 and of course your grown ups, children please remember to treat your growns up with love and respect like you do your teachers at school. Have a lovely weekend with your family and I will be back on Monday with some more exciting challenges for you.

'Adventure is worthwhile in itself!' (Amelia Earheart)

This week you have been reading about all the adventures of Viking gods, goddesses and others in the Norse Cosmos! Theyhave had lots of exciting adventures - as have you in the past few weeks. Again, you have worked so hard this week to achieve well.

I have been working with some Year 4 children in school in the last few weeks and I am SO proud of how focused, mature and determined they have been in all they have done. I have seen your super work too and I am sure, you like them will be ready for the upper juniors in September. Have a look below at some super highlights from our week.

There are only three weeks left of Year 4!!!!! Next week, we will continue to explore the Viking world with Mrs Lyons. But the week after, will be a week with your new teacher online! She will be taking over to do online learning all week. Exciting stuff.

Then the final week will be back with Mrs Lyons, to think of all the things you have achieved this year.

Have a lovely weekend everyone. Mrs Lyons is off to get her new kitten this weekend! His name is Thor!

2. Analyse and evaluate texts to look at language

History

Today, for history, you have to prove that Vikings were maybe not as bad as everyone says. Not everything we hear about them is true and perhaps there is more to them than bloodthirsty warriors.

Look at the slideshow below where you will find numbered sources of evidence - that prove different things about Vikings.

Look at your statements about Vikings and pick the appropriate source which proves that fact. Write the number in your table.

The answers are below.

You may find it easier to print out the sources so you can look at them all at once and decide which would fit best. Some prove more than one thing about Vikings.

Reading

There are some great scores with your reading, well done if you have quizzed recently to further your score. There is still a group of children who don’t have a score, as you haven’t done any quizzes in this half term. If that is you, please get busy reading and quizzing! A big well done to Steph for meeting her target and to Isabella for meeting it for a second time this half term.

Maths

Click below for today’s lesson. Get that equipment ready! Apologies I tried to squeeze in filming a maths lesson in my lunch time and didn’t quite manage it, so there are 2 parts to today’s lesson. Please make sure you have a go at both of them.

Don’t forget part 2 here.

RE

As we near the end of this RE topic spend some time reflecting on what the Holy Spirit means to you.

Welcome back Year 1!

This week has been so wonderful, for so many reasons. The children returned on Monday, with the biggest smiles on their little faces. Some were a little bit quiet at first, but within no time their giggles, smiles and chatter filled up the classroom! It has been a true gift to watch their faces light up when they have been reunited with friends. They loved sharing their experiences and adventures of learning from home.

I could not have been more excited to teach your children again. I have been blown away with the progress that has been made, particularly with the children’s reading and maths! I cannot thank you enough for all of the learning you have been doing with the children at home. Thank you!

As I could not welcome back all of my lovely year 1’s into my own bubble, some of the children have been having a taster of what it to come, in the Year 2 classroom. Miss Woodend and Mrs Connolly have been so impressed with the children in their bubble and their enthusiasm for growing their brains. Whilst Year 1 have not all been together in the same bubble, they have loved waving to their friends across the field, at break times and grinning to one another when we eat lunch together. This week the children have created their own Mr Men characters, practised partitioning/comparing numbers up to 100 and have loved creating obstacle courses at break times. They have worked their socks off!

I hope you enjoy looking through the photos of the children learning from school and at home! Sadly, some of the children’s photos don’t seem to have successfully copied onto my laptop. I will add them into next weeks montage!

Have a lovely weekend!
