Remote learning Year 3 Thursday 7th January 2021

Good morning everyone and welcome to Terrific Thursday.

We hope that you are all ready to grow your brain even more today. Remember that you can send us photos of your work and that you can also email us on Purple Mash. Thank you so much to the children and their grown ups who have already sent photos, they are really appreciated and help us feel together as our class still.

Here is the learning for today. Please make sure that if you are having to share devices or if you are trying to fit in your school work around what other people at home are doing too, that you do the lessons in order because they do follow on. For example Thursday’s maths wouldn’t make sense if you haven’t done Wednesday’s maths.

English

Today we are going to start our new class novel - The Iron Man By Ted Hughes,

I have added the text for the introduction that we are going to use today. You might want to print it off and use it or you could just use the text from the Smartboards that are on the video.

Maths

Here is today’s maths, you will need some counters, beads or buttons again as well as your place value grids. Be an enthusiastic Bobby Bee and join in lots with the video. Shout things out and tell me the answers as I’m going along.

Computing

Computing today, I think you are going to enjoy this new topic. Photography. Click on either of the buttons below for the lesson, either Powerpoint or PDF format. Happy snapping!

Year 4 Remote Learning Thursday 7th January

English

Today it is time to publish your newspaper reports. Before anything gets published it must be edited. I want you to take your written newspaper report from yesterday and type it up on Purple Mash so that I can mark it. I have set you a 2do newspaper report.

However, when you type it up you can edit and improve it. Have you got all CL and FS? Make sure you include them on Purple mash and commas too so you do not receive a redo!

Maybe you might think of a better word to describe the pig or an extended noun phrase? Use this editing process to improve your work!

Maths - Dividing by 100.

Watch the video below, completing the guided sheet as we go along. Some bits get tricky as we go along - but don’t worry. So long as you do your best, you will be learning.

To improve, you MUST listen to videos very carefully - try hard not to lose attention.

Then when finished, complete the independent sheet and ask a grown up to check it for you after.

RHE Relationships and Health Education

We are learning about our school virtues for this half term which are to try to be ‘Intentional and Prophetic.’ Watch the short video and then complete the 2do in Purple Mash - a poster with your New Year’s Intention or resolution. Try to link this to home learning - how will you be intentional about it. Discuss with a grown up.

Then make up your own border to decorate your poster.

Reading for 30 minutes per day - have you taken a quiz at home yet?

PE - Why not do a Joe Wicks workout to shake off those cobwebs? Or go out for a jog and build up your steps.

I would love to see pictures of you carrying out your learning or any other activities - you can send them to my email a.lyons@ourladystarofthesea.lancs.sch.uk

Year 3 Remote learning for Wednesday 6th January 2021

Good morning everyone, whether you are at home or school we hope you are eager to learn. We are all so sad that our term has been cut short again after a great day back yesterday, it was lovely to see you all!

Like last time we will be posting three lessons for you to complete at home, some on the computer and some in your exercise books. Give everything your best shot, be kind to your grown ups and remember we are still here for you in school.

Parents we would love to see any photos you can take of your learning at home and do please keep in touch to let us know how you are getting on, please email us with any queries.

Tuesday 5th January Remote Learning

Hello

I just thought that I would give you a couple of things to keep you busy and learning today.

Keep smiling and remember that we want to keep our brains growing. Be the best that you can be.

Here are the maths fluency sheets that we were going to do in school this week. We have done Fluency 1 but you could have another go.

I have also added the question sheet that we started yesterday on the Wise Men’s visit to the stable. Remember that you were imagining that you were one of the Wise Men and had just visited Baby Jesus in the stable. Please give as much detail as you can.
