Hello everyone,

I hope you have enjoyed the first Chapter of our book so far and are finding your way on the websites.

I understand that there may have been a problem with accessing the comprehension work booklets for the first chapter for reading, so for chapter 2 today, I have tried a different way – I have tried to include the actual PDF for you to click on and save, rather the link to the PDF for you to get online (see below).

I will also amend Monday’s post to have the PDF included for Chapter 1 activities, rather than the link. I hope this works for you all now! Please let Mrs Winwood know if there are any further issues.

Reading

Please read capter 2 ONLY today – our first book, ‘The Pirate’s Secret’: https://en.fictionexpress.com/book/the-pirates-secret/

Here is the PDF for the Chapter 2 Activities (Tuesday), rather than a link to the website – The Pirate’s Secret – Day 2 Work (Tuesday)

Maths

Our daily maths lessons can be accessed through this link:

Year 4 – https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-4/

Year 5 – https://whiterosemaths.com/homelearning/year-5/

There is one lesson per day – you will be Summer term week 1 – Lesson 2 (as lesson 2 is Tuesday)

Afternoon activities

Please access this link, which will take you to Classroom secrets ‘Home Learning Timetable’ – https://kids.classroomsecrets.co.uk/home-learning-timetable/

Firstly, scroll down and make sure you are on the correct week ( Monday 20^th April) –  then Click on your year group (Year 4 or Year 5) and click on Tuesday. This will then give you activities to choose from for today.

This is in addition to :

• Weekly spelling practise and test
• Times table practise (multiplication and divison facts
• Reading to an adult every day (at least 15 minues)
•  A daily physical activity – e.g. The Body Coach P.E session or Classroom Secrets physical Activity

I hope this helps.

Enjoy today’s work everyone!

Hi Stiperstones,

It’s Miss Lloyd-Jones here, I am really missing you all!

It’s great to see you have been doing the work Mr Field has been setting for you, well done and keep up the good work!

This weekend I have been doing a little bit of baking and so I thought that if you have some ingredients already in your cupboards, it might be nice for you to try some baking this week at home with a grown up too. If you don’t have the ingredients, don’t worry! but if you do, send in a picture, I would love to see what you get up to baking throughout the week!

Each day this week, I would also like you to continue to try the Body Coach morning exercise sessions – I will do it along at home with you as well! Remember if you miss it, you can always find it on YouTube later in the day.

Also, a little reminder – please read to a grown up at least 15 minutes a day, and also remember to practise your times tables every day as well! – Times Tables Rockstars is great for this. Remember to try division facts as well as multiplication facts!

e.g. practise questions such as 20  ÷ 2 = 10, not just 2 x 10 = 20.

The faster you get at answering your multiplication and division facts the better! (Remember on Times tables rockstars, the Soundcheck game gives you 25 questions with 6 seconds to answer each question – please try soundcheck at least once a day to build up your speed, as well as anythign else you would like to practise on TT rockstars). You could also ask a grown up to give you a weekly times table test like we do in school with Mrs Norris on a Monday!

I will also put spellings onto the spelling page. As I was off from school the last 2 weeks, I am unsure where you are up to, so I will put a few lists on the page, both for Year 4 and Year 5 and you can see which list you are up to yourselves, I hope this is okay for everyone! Having a weekly spelling test at home like we do in school would be good too!

In school during our Topic lessons, we have researched Liverpool, a city in the UK and Perm, a city in Russia,

Over the next few days, can you research the culture of Perm, Russia and maybe you could present your findings by making a poster about Russian culture? This could include the food they eat, traditional clothing, music, buildings etc. Or you can present this in any other way you would like to show what you have found out. Please feel free to send in any pictures to Mrs Winwood’s email address!

As well as the above things to work on throughout the week, I have also set some Maths and English on Education City for Today. 

Have fun, stay safe and keep up the good work everyone!

Miss L-J
