Happy Friday! Possibly a snowy one too if the weather forecast is to be believed… so if that’s the case, I will make a request that you build a brilliant snowman and send me the evidence! Fingers crossed.
Today’s tip: If you are using Reading Eggs, Year 3 and 4 will need to choose Reading Eggspress once they’ve logged in. Year 2’s – you will possibly prefer Reading Eggs but you can challenge yourselves to Reading Eggspress too as you are such super readers!
Tip 2: Spend 5 minutes looking back over this week’s spelling lists (from Tuesday’s lesson).
Task One: Maths
Today’s tasks follow on from yesterday so use the ‘Reasoning and problem solving slides’ on the powerpoints to give you some help.
Year 3 Powerpoint Related Calculations
Task Two : English. L/O: To write a story.
I’ve absolutely loved receiving some of your films and audios telling your stories. They have been a real treat to see / hear so thank you.
Today’s task will be continued / completed on Monday too so don’t feel you have to do it all in one go.
Your task is to now write your story down; it can be handwritten or using the computer to type it if you prefer! You may add pictures (illustrations) too. Here are our key targets:
Year 2: Capital letters and full stop perfection please!
Year 3: Use expanded noun phrases (powers of 3) at least five times! e.g. the shadowy-brown, angry, grizzly bear.
Year 4: Start sentences with fronted adverbials at least three times (remember the comma) e.g: With an ear-splitting roar, the shadowy-brown, angry, grizzly bear began to chase Elliot and India.
Whole class challenge: Include speech!
Good luck!
Task Three: PE
Make sure you get some exercise today although I know many of you have been on some lovely long walks in the winter sunshine this week – well done. It’s so important to get fresh air and raise your heart rate!
You may have your own plan to exercise but if not, you can find links to a Joe Wicks workout from last summer here:
I will also set another challenge to those of you who enjoy counting steps… can any of you hit 10,000 steps today? Enjoy!
Task Four: Art
Create your own ‘front cover’ for your story. Perhaps you will be inspired by the one I showed you earlier in the week for Stone Age Boy. Use whatever materials you have at home to create your illustration.
I’d love to see your final pieces of art!
