Snow day ⛄️

Good morning Owls!

Well done for logging on and checking out Your online learning. Please spread the word for all the children in class to know this information is here.

Tasks

1. Go out and enjoy the snow! It might not be here for long, so go go go! Challenge: can you build an igloo? Who can build the tallest snowman? Enjoy!

2. Reading: Following on from our Picture News worship yesterday, Get reading. What is the strangest place you can find to read?! I’d love to see readers in their igloos!

3. Maths: Learn your timetables, use number Gym or TT Rockstars. Year 6 – You should all still have the maths practice book I gave you – spend some time working on new pages.

4. spellings / handwriting. On the spelling page of our class website, there are the spelling mats for year 3/4 and year 5/6. Spend time learning words, you did not know before.

5. Use the opportunity to spend time doing something in your Ponder Pages! Come up with your own piece of writing to complete throughout the day.

Remember, these are all just ideas for learning. Do what you can and please do not worry about the things you haven’t got done, although hopefully all these activities link into your usual weekly homework (except snow play 😆⛄️)

Have a great day and I will see you next week!

Homework is set on a Wednesday each week and is expected to be handed in the following Tuesday (which is when spelling tests take place – see Spelling link below for more detail). If you need help with homework, then just let staff know. Homework Club is available to Owl Class on Thursday lunchtimes.

Please make sure you record reading in your reading diaries at least 3 times per week; if you achieve 5 quality entries, you may earn Quality Marks.

Learning times tables is a part of homework every week – use Number Gym Table Trainer, TT Rockstars or your own methods to make sure you keep your multiplication knowledge fresh.
