Good morning Venus,

Welcome to a new month!!! I hope you all had a good weekend.

Here is today’s schedule:

09:00-0925: Say good morning to your class mates. EMW.

Problem solving, using the operations: addition, subtraction and possibly multiplication Buying Ballons

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 Verbs and Adverbs

This week, you are going to begin to plan and write your opening for The Viewer. In order, for you to write a powerful piece of descriptive writing, you must make sure that your writing includes words from all word classes. Last week you looked at nouns and adjectives, today the focus are verbs and adverbs.

Pen and paper will be needed, along with a dictionary as we may look at the meanings of some verbs and adverbs.

Why are verbs important in a sentence?

Remember to find the meaning of these: scavenged and inquisitively

*LESSON 3 – RE: Diwali for Sikhs

Today, you will be learning about the Sikh celebration Diwali. Diwali is a celebration that is also celebrated by the Hindus. However, for Sikhs, Diwali is particularly important for another reason other than it being the ‘Festival of Lights’. Today’s lesson is narrated by Mr Kelly. Make sure you do all of the independent activity tasks and do them in the order in which they appear.

Why is Diwali important for Sikhs?
