Good morning Venus,
I hope you had a good weekend. It is our final week of our first half term!!!
Here is today’s schedule:
09:00-09:25: Say good morning to your class mates.
EMW – choose a multiplication game and practice!
Math Playground Multiplication
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, as well as looking at the independent work and making 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 you need 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 – To Generate Vocabulary For a Diary Entry
This week your big write will be to write a diary entry. In this lesson, we will be generating vocabulary to use when writing a diary entry. We will be focusing on how to generate adjectives for key nouns, and then moving this on to adding verbs and adverbs to describe what a character might be doing at a certain point of the story.
What are the key features of a diary entry?

*LESSON 2: MATHS – Multiply 2 Digits by 1 Digit
This week, the focus will be multiplication. Your Mathletics work, should have somewhat prepared you for the week. One of the four fundamental operations, multiplication is easily described as repeated addition. Today, you will be multiplying 2 digit numbers by a 1 digit number.

*LESSON 3 – PSHE: Develop Strategies to Resolve Conflict
Today, you will be learning ways, on how to resolve conflict, this in itself is a life skill, for both adults and children. Conflict, is something that everyone will come into contact with, at some point in their life. You may have already experienced a conflicting situation. If you did: How did you deal with it? Do you think that you could have dealt with the situation differently? If, you haven’t experienced a conflicting situation (and even if you have), this lesson will equip you with the correct tools needed to resolve conflicts.

10:00-11:00: Lesson 1 – Live Online: LITERACY – Infer Meaning From Images
In today’s, live lesson we will be reading the first few pages of The Viewer by Shaun Tan. Though, the main focus of this lesson, are the images. You will be using your inference skills to deduce meaning from the many strange and curious images that the book contains. You’ll do this, by answering questions verbally during the lesson and as part of your independent activity.

*LESSON 3 – SPELLINGS – Homophones and Near Homophones
Today’s spellings will focus on homophones and near homophones. You will have your spelling test, tomorrow, 04/02/21.
You will need a dictionary, as you will be writing the meanings for each word. Once, you have found the meaning, you then need to use the word in a sentence, this allows you to make sure that you have used it, in the right context.
E.g. Alter (verb), means to change something, usually slightly, or to cause the characteristics of something to change.
We had to alter some of our plans.
Also, this is another opportunity to increase the words in your vocabulary. These will be your spelling words for next week’s spelling test.

Here you can find this week’s spelling list – you can also print it off and practice your handwriting.

Today, we will be looking at how to calculate the area of compound shapes. This is slightly more tricky than finding the area of rectangles but if you managed to complete yesterday’s work then you will be able to definitely give this a go! . You will need to bring with you, your times table and addition knowledge, along with pen and paper.

*LESSON 2 – LITERACY – Write an Opening
In this lesson, you will be writing your opening for ‘The Viewer’. The focus, is to use as much detail to describe the setting as well as setting the tone for the story. This is your opportunity to use as many WOW adjectives, verbs and adverbs in your writing. It is your opportunity to show of the new skills that you have learnt and to include: non finite clauses; relative clauses and expanded noun phrases.

*LESSON 3 – SCIENCE – Air Resistance (Forces)
Today, you will be carrying out another investigation but by yourself. You will be using the same investigation process as last week. The focus of the investigation is ‘Air Resistance’. You will need to watch the video, shot and narrated by Mr Kelly before carrying out the investigation. Your aim of your investigation:
Does surface area affect how much air resistance slows down a falling object?

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.

*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.
