Good morning Skylarks and HAPPY FRIDAY 😊
Well done on another successful week of remote learning. Only one more week to go before we are all back together in school! I can’t wait!!
It would be great to see you all on zoom this morning. You will find the link for the meeting in your emails or over on our class discussion.
Please see below for today’s remote learning tasks. Don’t forget to take part in any final clubs today too, as we will be posting new clubs next week for you to enjoy. Please remember that I will be available on our discussion/homework area throughout the school day to help you and provide feedback on your work.
Science
Our science lessons on forces continue today where we will be thinking about non-contact forces. You can find the lesson here:
You can download the accompanying worksheets from our blog, however this is not essential. You can simply record your responses/answers on some paper.
Introductory Quiz:
Final Quiz:
Times Tables
This week I would like you to practice any tables that you still find tricky up to 12 x 12. 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
Great Gods of Norse Mythology: Again, please see the PowerPoint attached. I have recorded the instructions so just click on the audio button to hear what to do. Today, we will be applying all of our learning on relative clauses and vocabulary to write a short description about Odin.
If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the writing 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.
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 Jeremy Strong. You can read his book ‘Romans on the Rampage’ at the link below:

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 ‘ee’ sound spelt ‘ei’. 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: neither
Previous words: receive, deceive, protein, caffeine
We will be having a mini quiz on these five spelling words at the end of our English lesson today.
Eco Challenges
You may remember before half term, Mrs Brennan asked for your help with our Eco campaign. You were all fantastic at making posters, designing logos and making projects out of plastic bottles. However, she still needs your help!
We still need as many children as possible to complete the following 2 tasks:
- Task 1: Carry out a 2-day single use plastic audit at home
- Task 2: Interview an older person to ask them about their thoughts on if the amount of litter is increasing?
There are templates attached to today’s blog to help you to complete these remaining tasks. If you could then leave your completed audits and interviews into school or email to admin that would be amazing and would really help towards our Eco-Schools Campaign.
Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint. Today we will continue to read ‘The Boy in the Dress’ by David Walliams.
