Monday 25th January
Good morning Skylarks 😊
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready for another busy week of home learning.
Please remember our zoom sessions will continue this week, starting at 8.40am. You will find the meeting link and passcode in your emails or on our class discussion for today.
Today we are also introducing the homework feature on school spider. This allows you to submit your maths and English work online to just me, rather than the whole class. I will then look at your work and provide you with feedback. The important part to note is that you need to use the ‘Upload your homework’ button for it to go only to me. If you use the ‘Post your reply’ section, the other children in the class can see your work too (like on our discussion).
Our class discussion will also be up and running as normal for you to ask any questions. You can also continue to share your work on our discussion if you are happy to share it with all of your Skylark friends.
Maths
Adding and Subtracting fractions: For your maths lesson today, please see the PowerPoint attached. Just click on the little speaker icon on the PowerPoint page to listen. Today we are adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator.
If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the maths lesson at the following YouTube link:
If you are watching the lesson through the YouTube link, you may need to pause the video at appropriate times to give yourself time to complete the tasks.
Times Tables
This week can you practice your x11 tables? Don’t forget to practice other tables that you still find tricky too. Can you say it forwards and backwards? Can you write out the multiples of this number? Do you know the division facts? Why not use TTRS or hit the button to help you:

Writing
Hansel and Gretel – speech: Again, please see the PowerPoint attached. Like the maths, I have recorded the instructions so just click on the audio button to hear what to do. Today, we will continue to look at the book ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Wilhelm and Jacob Grimm. We will be thinking carefully about the character of the step mother and what she might say. We will then be writing direct speech using inverted commas (“speech marks”)
If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the writing lesson at the following YouTube link:

Reading
It would also be super if you could spend 10-15 minutes each day reading your school book that you have taken home or another book you have been enjoying at home.
Remember to continue writing in your reading diary and get an adult to sign in, then we can collect our raffle tickets when we are back in school.
Why not tell me what book you are reading over on our discussion?
Spellings
Have a go at reading, saying in a sentence and spelling words with the suffix -ibly. You could make your own spelling doodle and add to it throughout the week. I will add a new word each day and then on Friday we can have a little quiz.
Today’s word: incredibly
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint.
Worship
Today Mrs Powell has recorded a worship for you which you can watch here:
Reflection: Mrs Powell’s message today was about our Christian Value of RESPECT. Make a hand poem of your own all about respect. Who and what do you want to pray for at the moment? You could draw around your own hand or an adult’s hand, cut it out and write an idea on each finger like Mrs Powell shared in her worship.
Have a super Monday Skylarks and remember I am here if you need anything 😊
Love from Miss Beattie x
