Skylarks Home Learning 23.02.21, by Miss Beattie

Date: 22nd Feb 2021 @ 4:09pm

Tuesday 23rd February

Good morning my lovely Skylarks 😊

I hope you all had a great first day back after the half term holidays. Thank you all for engaging with our zoom and for working so hard yesterday. You may have heard the news that we will all be back together again in school on 8th March. I am so excited for this day to arrive and to see all of your lovely smiling faces back in our classroom!!!

It would be great to see you all on our zoom this morning. Please also remember that I will be available on our discussion/homework area throughout the school day to help you and provide feedback on your work.

Please see below for today’s remote learning tasks.

 

Maths

 

 

Multiplication: 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 going to continue to look at multiplication, specifically learning how to multiple two 2-digit numbers using the area method.   

If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the maths lesson at the following YouTube link:

https://youtu.be/NS-1knQy4iM

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 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:

https://ttrockstars.com/

 https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

 

 

Writing

 

Relative Clauses: 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 complete a grammar lesson looking at relative clauses used to add extra detail to a sentence.

Here is the link to the video on relative clauses that you may want to watch before today’s lesson.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zwwp8mn/articles/zsrt4qt

If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the writing lesson at the following YouTube link:

https://youtu.be/J8JGTXtDVkE

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:

https://library.thenational.academy/head-back-to-the-roman-age-with-jeremy-strong/

I have also attached the new copy of ‘First News’ for you to enjoy 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 ‘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: deceive

Previous words: receive 

 

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.

 

 

    Worship

Today we will take part in an Open the Book worship where we will listen to the story of ‘The Two Sons’:

Would you like to see your art work in an online art gallery?  

The Cave is an online gallery for children and young people in and around Northwich to exhibit their Art work. The gallery is being developed for children to express their response of their experience in lockdown. The Cave hope to encourage young artists to set up their own galleries in a window of their home to curate and show their work in the local community. 

The first online show will be for Easter 2021. The theme for the exhibition is ‘Hunker’. Many animals hunker down, hibernate and keep to their nests in winter and this winter we have joined them! We have been hunkering down since March and the experience has been very different for each of us. Please see the attached poster or visit the website linked below for more information on this exciting project. Please remember to submit your work before the end of March.

Have a great day everyone. Remember to use the Discussion page on School Spider to chat to us and upload your home learning tasks using the Upload your Homework tab.

Best wishes from Mrs Downing, Mrs Whittingham and Mr Beswick.

Good morning SUPER Swallows. Welcome back to our blog.

 

 

 

Please see our task list and PowerPoint presentations below to see what your home learning tasks are for today. Please also remember to take a few moments to look at the class discussion page each day where I will be available to ‘chat’ to you about the work that I have set for that day. You can just pop on there to say hi or tell have a little chat with your friends. The children can type in their own messages. It is a lovely, safe way of us staying in touch.

This half term, we have introduced a Foundation Subjects Club which you can dip in and out of in the afternoons and take part in as many as you like. I have attached all the details and links. I have also attached all the Worship details for the week so they are all in one place.

 Maths - Can you use the ‘x’ symbol?  Can you represent multiplication sentences using pictures?

We are continuing to focus our learning on multiplication this week. Please see the talking Power point video linked below.

Alternatively, you could play ‘Hit the Button’ or ‘Maths Fishing’.

 

 Writing - Can you write sentences to describe the toys in the text using the correct verb tense?

It might help to add this as a favourite so that you can quickly find your Read Write Inc learning each day. Please remember that the website updates at 9:30 each day. You may notice that the sounds will start to repeat soon. The children revisit sounds many times when we are teaching Read Write Inc in school. We want to encourage fluency. We want the children to be able to read a text containing each sound at speed, without the need to Fred Talk. In order to achieve this, the children need to see each sound several times.  Please continue to focus on the spelling, red word and hold a sentence videos.

Skylarks Home Learning 22.02.21, by Miss Beattie

Monday 22nd February

Hi everyone 😊

Happy Monday Skylarks! I hope you all had a wonderful half term, I can’t wait to hear all about what you got up to during our zoom call this morning. You will find the link for this week’s zoom meeting in your emails or over on our class discussion.

Please see below for today’s remote learning tasks. We are also introducing our foundation subject clubs today which you can read more about below!

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.

 

Maths

 

Multiplication: 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 multiplication and will be multiplying by a 1-digit number using a variety of different methods.  

If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the maths lesson at the following YouTube link:

https://youtu.be/iX1s02Mf8hk

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 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:

https://ttrockstars.com/

 https://www.topmarks.co.uk/maths-games/hit-the-button

 

 

 

Writing

 

Great Gods of Norse Mythology: 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 be moving on to look at a new text called ‘Great Gods of Norse Mythology’. In our lesson we will read the first few pages before applying our skimming and scanning techniques to retrieve information from the text.

I have attached the whole text below which you will need to print or have opened for our lesson today (we will be using this text for the next couple of weeks, so if you choose to print it, keep it somewhere safe).

If you cannot access the PowerPoint, please view the writing lesson at the following YouTube link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0s6jLBa68sI

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:

https://library.thenational.academy/head-back-to-the-roman-age-with-jeremy-strong/

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: receive 

 

Story: You will find our story embedded into our Writing PowerPoint. Today we will begin to read ‘The Boy in the Dress’ by David Walliams.

 

 

    Worship

Today Mrs Powell has recorded a worship for you which you can watch here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c69EUY9_tY

Cave Gallery - Children’s Art in a Virtual Environment

Would you like to see your art work in an online art gallery? 

The Cave is an online gallery for children and young people in and around Northwich to exhibit their Art work. The gallery is being developed for children to express their response of their experience in lockdown. The Cave hope to encourage young artists to set up their own galleries in a window of their home to curate and show their work in the local community.

The first online show will be for Easter 2021. The theme for the exhibition is ‘Hunker’. Many animals hunker down, hibernate and keep to their nests in winter and this winter we have joined them! We have been hunkering down since March and the experience has been very different for each of us. Please see the attached poster or visit the website linked below for more information on this exciting project. Please remember to submit your work before the end of March.

Have a wonderful Monday everyone 😊

Starlings Home Learning Blog 12th February, by Mrs O'Marah

Date: 11th Feb 2021 @ 9:20pm

Friday 12th February 

Good morning lovely Starlings and welcome to your last home learning blog of this half term. You have achieved so much over the past 6 weeks and we are so very proud of everything you have done at home and in school. Thank you for always having a smile on your face every morning on zoom and for being the amazing class that you are!

Today’s blog is a little different, if you have brothers and sisters in school you’ll notice we have all shared some activities so please see below. The science lesson is the next lesson in our unit of work on the senses.

                                                                     

Gung hay fat choy is how Cantonese speakers wish you a happy new year—literally "wishing you great happiness and prosperity."

In China, the official language is Mandarin. Gong xi fa cai is how Mandarin-speakers wish you a happy new year—literally "wishing you to be prosperous in the coming year."

Hello everyone. We think you have worked so hard with your remote learning this half term so as a little treat and a big thank you here are some lovely activities for you to choose from today.

We would like you to start with Mrs Powell’s worship then complete your Science lesson.

Then the choice is yours! Perhaps these will give you some nice ideas to do over the half term holiday too.

 Build a den either inside (or even outdoors if we are lucky enough to have a warm, dry day) You could use blankets, sheets, cushions, old boxes, chairs. Could you put your teddy bear in there and a book?

 http://www.robbiddulph.com/draw-with-rob

  While you are out on your daily walk, why not look out for the following things and tick them off when you see them. There is a large copy of the sheet attached to the blog.

 Puppet show

•Make up your own story to act out or you could use one of your favourite stories instead

•Make your own puppet characters – these could be sock, stick or finger puppets

•You could even make your own puppet theatre out of a cereal box

•Perform your story using your puppets for your family

   Obstacle course. You don’t need any fancy equipment. Just get creative with the things you have already got at home or in your garden. E.g.

  • Balance a potato on a spoon
  • Balance a cushion on your head
  • Jump over a skipping rope/piece of string, pair of tights
  • Use rolled up socks as cones and run in and out of them
  • Keepie uppies with rolled up socks

Lego building challenge

How many of these objects could you make using your Lego?

Don’t worry if you don’t have any Lego, could you make these using different materials that you could find around your house e.g. Empty toilet roll holders, cereal boxes, plastic bottles etc.

 Make A Glitter Jar

Have some fun creating your very own glitter jar – fill it with water and whatever you have around the house then shake it and let your mind calm as you watch everything float to the bottom.

 Art – Can you make your own view finder?

Are you feeling creative and outdoorsy today? Why not have a go at creating your own view finder with Miss Gillam today. Use your view finder to help you to bite off a measurable chunk of a landscape to draw. This can be anywhere from your back yard to your garden or even the view from your balcony. All you will need is a piece of paper, a pencil and some string. Don’t forget to share your masterpiece with your family, our school Twitter page and in your next class Zoom call.

 Maths

Let’s make our walk today a little more interesting, time to play ‘Walking Bingo!’

Visit https://www.template.net/design-templates/free-printable-bingo-card/

And print off a bingo card to take with you on your next walk. Search for the numbers on your card on houses, signs, bus stops....If you find a number on you card, you can cross it off. I wonder if you can get a line or even a full house?

                              

Or, perhaps you could make your own number pavement trail using chalk?

Story - ‘One Hundred Steps’ by Sir Captain Tom Moore 

 

This is a beautiful story written by Captain Sir Tom Moore, who we remember for raising money for charity in the run-up to his 100th birthday during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an important message of resilience and optimism, just when we need it most.  It’s a book about adventure, family, hope and what we can achieve when we work together. This will help to remind us of Sir Tom, who sadly passed away last week, and of the kindness and courage we require in these unprecedented times. Please follow the link to ‘One Hundred Steps’:

Story - ‘One Hundred Steps’ by Sir Captain Tom Moore

This is a beautiful story written by Captain Sir Tom Moore, who we remember for raising money for charity in the run-up to his 100th birthday during the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an important message of resilience and optimism, just when we need it most.  It’s a book about adventure, family, hope and what we can achieve when we work together. This will help to remind us of Sir Tom, who sadly passed away last week, and of the kindness and courage we require in these unprecedented times. Please follow the link to ‘One Hundred Steps’:

Den Building

Build a den either inside (or even outdoors if we are lucky enough to have a warm, dry day) You could use blankets, sheets, cushions, old boxes, chairs. Could you put your teddy bear in there and a book?

Outdoor Scavenger Hunt

 

While you are out on your daily walk, why not look out for the following things and tick them off when you see them. There is a large copy of the sheet attached to the blog.

 

Puppet show

  • Make up your own story to act out or you could use one of your favourite stories instead
  • Make your own puppet characters – these could be sock, stick or finger puppets
  • You could even make your own puppet theatre out of a cereal box
  • Perform your story using your puppets for your family

 

Obstacle Course

  

You don’t need any fancy equipment. Just get creative with the things you have already got at home or in your garden. E.g.

  • Balance a potato on a spoon
  • Balance a cushion on your head
  • Jump over a skipping rope/piece of string, pair of tights
  • Use rolled up socks as cones and run in and out of them
  • Keepie uppies with rolled up socks

 

Lego building challenge

How many of these objects could you make using your Lego?

Don’t worry if you don’t have any Lego, could you make these using different materials that you could find around your house e.g. Empty toilet roll holders, cereal boxes, plastic bottles etc.

 

Make A Glitter Jar

Have some fun creating your very own glitter jar – fill it with water and whatever you have around the house then shake it and let your mind calm as you watch everything float to the bottom.

 

Art – Can you make your own view finder?

Are you feeling creative and outdoorsy today? Why not have a go at creating your own view finder with Miss Gillam today. Use your view finder to help you to bite off a measurable chunk of a landscape to draw. This can be anywhere from your back yard to your garden or even the view from your balcony. All you will need is a piece of paper, a pencil and some string. Don’t forget to share your masterpiece with your family, our school Twitter page and in your next class Zoom call.

 

Maths

Let’s make our walk today a little more interesting, time to play ‘Walking Bingo!’

Visit https://www.template.net/design-templates/free-printable-bingo-card/

And print off a bingo card to take with you on your next walk. Search for the numbers on your card on houses, signs, bus stops....If you find a number on you card, you can cross it off. I wonder if you can get a line or even a full house?

                              

 

Or, perhaps you could make your own number pavement trail using chalk?

         

 

Build a structure using marshmallows and spaghetti
