Good morning Skylarks 😊
I hope you are all well this morning and had a good Monday.
Don’t forget our zoom session this morning starts at 8.40am. You will find the meeting link and passcode in your emails or on our class discussion for today.
Please see below for your home learning tasks for today. Don’t forget to share it with me over on our class discussion or through the homework section of school spider.
Maths
Calculating perimeter: 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 moving on to look at how to calculate perimeter.
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: 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 looking at exciting vocabulary to describe a forest setting before creating our own forest illustrations based on the extract of the text we have read.
If you wish to download and print the extract from Hansel and Gretel that we will be using today, I have attached it to this blog. However, this is not essential as the text will also be included and read aloud in our English PowerPoint/Video.
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.
This week’s author of the week is Nizrana Farook. You can read/listen to her story ‘The girl who stole an elephant’ at the link below:

I have also attached this week’s issue of First News for you to enjoy.
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: responsibly
Previous words: incredibly
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint.
Worship
Today we will take part in an Open the Book worship where we will listen to the story of ‘David and the Giant’:

Have a super day Skylarks and remember I am here if you need anything 😊
