Good morning Venus,
Here is today’s schedule:
09:00-0925: Say good morning to your class mates. EMW.
09:25-09:30: Register.
09:30-10:00: Together we’ll go through today’s work and discuss any issues. Once that’s clear, you will check to make sure all your links work and you are able to open the documents and videos. Also, you should take a look at the independent work and make sure you understand is expected of you. We will also look at today’s non screen activity task and set today’s kindness task.
Can I remind you all that no one should be in their pyjamas or in bed! Everybody should also make sure that they have eaten their breakfast before the register is taken. This is a learning environment and I need you to take it as seriously as you do, when you are in class. There should, also, be no personal discussions or spamming via the chat unless advised to do so!
10:00-11:00: Lesson 1 – Live Online: Literacy – Non-Finite Clauses
Yesterday, I struggled to deliver the lesson half with Mr Brown and half with me. Today it’s all me and I’m stealing (magpieing!) Mr Brown’s slides. Hopefully it’s a bit more fluid.
We’re exploring a thing called non-finite clauses. We don’t really need to worry too much about the name or why they’re called that – you’ll have seen examples of them as they’re a type of subordinate opener. They help to add variety to our writing and give us more options for how we start our sentences. They also allow us to add more information in the same sentence.
Come with your “The Viewer” work from the last few days, along with pen and paper.

11:30: This is also an opportunity, for any of you who found yesterday’s work challenging, to join Miss Warby’s room (epsvenus2)
***INDEPENDENT LEARNING*** ***LESSONS 2 & 3***
11:00-14:15: During this time, you are expected, to complete the work for all three subjects, independently and upload it to the blog.
*LESSON 2 – MATHS: Area of Rectangles
Continuing on from yesterday’s counting squares, today, you will be looking at the area of rectangles. It is another re-cap lesson and looks more strictly at rectangles and the multiplication required to find their area. The first page really only tests your times tables but the second page goes a little deeper and you’ll need multiple and factor knowledge, some clever logic for question 7 and some problem solving strategies for Q8.

*LESSON 3 – Art
In today’s Art lesson you will be creating 3D effects by using grids and black and white colouring – which is good as all you need is one pen or pencil to do these and you can experiment a bit! Having a ruler will help but something straight is fine too. It’d also be good if your pen doesn’t smudge under a ruler.
Mr Kelly, although not the great at art has stayed resilient, followed the instructions and managed to begin a reasonably decent piece. Yyu can get some tips and instructions in this video here. In the video, he talks about having the PDF handy too – that’s the instruction slides in an easier to read way – you really don’t have to print these – just having them open on screen should be fine. There were some technical difficulties here, so the video was slightly rushed but it shouldn’t effect your outcome.
Your task is to complete (at least!) one of the pieces. There are a few options, starting with the easiest and moving to the most difficult. I can’t wait to see your effects. Make sure you enjoy it and become absorbed.
14:15 – 15:15: Live Session –Which word class, will help you describe? AFTERNOON CATCH UP
- Will discuss today’s work – was it easy/just right for you/difficult/challenging?
- You will share your non screen time activities and see how many of you were able to complete the kindness task..
- Our daily dose of ‘riddle time’, finishing off the day by continuing to read The BFG.
See you at 09:15.
Miss Nicols (“,)
