Posted: Mar 25, 2020 by: Elaine Matthews (EMatthews) on: Class 3
Good morning all!!
Hope you are all really enjoying your school days at home; I'm really missing you all but am so glad I can send a blog every day to you. I'll just have to pretend I'm teaching you in the classroom as normal!! Thank you so much for sending me some pictures of the amazing work you have been doing at home; it's really great to see. Your photos are fabulous too. Keep sending me messages and remember to ask via email if you have any concerns about your work at all. Most of all though KEEP SMILING AND HAVE GREAT FUN AS YOU LEARN!
Here's our timetable for today......
09.00 P.E.
Let's all join Joe Wicks on YouTube for his P.E. workout and start the day off by getting healthy and stimulating our brains!! I'll be joining in so please let's all do it together!!
09.40 Maths
L.O. To solve calculations with money
8 questions;
- 5/10 + 4/10
- 8/9 - 2/9
- 890 divided by 10
- 22 x 10
- 1/4 of 24
- 5kg 200g + 2kg 350g
- 264 + 352
- 879 - 50
Problem;
Sophie was bouncing on her trampoline with 14 red balls. Mum added 15 yellow balls and 14 green balls. She had great fun! Unfortunately, 6 balls then bounced off. How many balls were still left on the trampoline?
Activity; Today we need to practise solving problems involving money. You will be subtracting one price from another. If you like you could practise this in your home shop (like you did on Monday) but this time you need to calculate the change so you will be taking away the amount you spend from the amount of money you take to the shop (take a pencil and paper to the shop for calculating). It's important to remember how many pence is in £1/£2 etc and you may need to convert some £ to pence to help you calculate.
The activity is on page 100 'Calculations with money 2'- you should find it in your pack. Again, only do the section you would normally do and try 10 if you can (more if you like). Use your pink book to show me your work.
Have fun shopping!
10.40 Go into your garden and have fun in the wonderful sun!
11.00 Literacy
Let's practise some grammar and spelling in a fun way!
Grammar; Go to the home page on Purplemash. Select English, then SPAG, Grammar and select 'Hatching Out' and 'Prefix Magic'. We've worked on prefixes and suffixes recently so this should be great practise. Enjoy! Do let me know how you do.
Spelling; Again via SPAG, select Phonics, Phase 5, choose 'ay, ou'- here you will be playing a game which will involve practising spelling words using these sounds.
Finally, please can you begin a diary about your time at home as we share a very different style of life at the moment! You may wish to write an entry in your diary every day (just a few lines every day) or you may wish to write in it once or twice a week. If you have a separate notebook you could keep it just for your diary. If you keep it forever you never know your diary may become a famous historical document in years to come!! Let me know what you write. Don't forget to use brilliant handwriting and fabulous punctuation and spelling!! Paragraphs would be great!
12.00 Lunchtime
Have a great lunch and have lots of fun playing! Perhaps build an assault course in the garden. What can you use?
13.00 History
VIKINGS!
L.O. To write a non-fictional text on Viking life.
Today, I'd really like you to begin a non-fiction piece of writing on 'Viking Life'. You could research using the internet with an adult or watch some educational clips. If you go onto BBC Bitesize on your computer or laptop and select Primary, KS2, History and then Vikings you can watch some fabulous clips surrounding the life of Vikings.I'd like you to watch 'What was life like in Viking Britain?' but you could have a look at others too (they're quite addictive once you get going)!!
Can you begin your non-fiction information text today? Use a heading and sub-headings and a short paragraph for each sub-heading. You may wish to print out some pictures from the internet (and stick them in your pink book too) or add drawings.
Please use your pink book and keep your work really neat, with joined up writing and fabulous punctuation. Don't forget those rulers!!
2.00pm Reading
Enjoy some special 1 to 1 reading with an adult- if you have a blue or grey book in your pack please choose one of those, otherwise choose a book of your choice. The are currently a number of sites offering free subscriptions for a number of weeks so you can access online eBooks. These are fabulous so do have a look as you may prefer to read one of these.
'Oxford Owl' is one such site; you will just need to create an account (totally free of charge).
Alternatively, Twinkl (without an 'e') are also offering a free short term membership- a great site for eBooks as well as many other fabulous resources in all areas of learning; why not join for the moment free of charge!
Have a wonderful day and please do let me know how you are doing. Photos, comments and feedback would be great; keep them coming!
Enjoy the sun while you can.
Over and out!!
