Good morning Venus,

Here is today’s schedule:

09:15-09:30: Say good morning to your classmates. EMW – though this morning, I am going to read Chapters 3 and 4 of The Refugee Boy, in preparation for this morning’s, live reading lesson.

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. Today, the register will be taken at 09:30. 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: Live Online Lesson 1: READING – Understand Vocabulary Within a Text

Today, we will be continuing with The Refugee Boy. The focus of today’s lesson is to understand vocabulary, what it means and the different kinds of vocabulary questions, you may be asked to answer – whether it’s for a test or just independent activity questions. The chapter we will be reading, today, is Chapter 5.

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.

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.

***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.

The extension worksheet, if you manage to finish the main worksheet, dives deeper into Area of Rectangles Extension

*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..

09:15-09:30: Log into our google meet. Say good morning to your classmates. As always, there will be early morning work to active those muscles in your grey matter. Today’s early morning work will be testing your timestable knowledge(although you can choose other operations).

Daily 10

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, I will give you time 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 todays’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. The register is taken at 09:25. 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: Live Online Lesson 1: READING – Inference

Today, we will be looking at inference and using a text by Benjamin Zephaniah to do so. All you will need for this lesson is pen and paper.

What is inference? Is it similar to a prediciton?

10:00-11:00: Live Online Lesson 1: English

This week we will you will be using Oak Academy for your literacy learning. You may have used it back in the first lockdown. Oak Academy has many resources for all academic subjects and for all children (Primary and Secondary).

Today’s lesson. we will be going through it together, so that you know how to confidently use the resources and what is expected from you for the rest of the week. We will watch the video together and complete the worksheet together.

As the resources are already there please do not go on ahead, it will be easy to do so but you run the risk of spoiling what we discuss in the afternoon session.

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. Do not to undertake your non screen time activity as I do not want you to be in front of the computer/laptop/tablet/phone screen all day.

*LESSON 2 – MATHS – Measure Perimeter

This week, the focus in Maths is perimeter, you looked at this on Friday during your Mathletics session.

Perimeter is the distance around the outside of a 2D shape.

Many of you may find today’s lesson slightly difficult as it does require you to print the worksheet but it not impossible. I said, difficult not, not possible!!!

For Q 1, 2, 3, 7 & 8 – you can do it off screen. For a couple all you’ll need is a ruler or even a tape measure (like a builder uses – even a clothes measuring one will work fine!) to draw your own. If you don’t have anything to measure with or you’re unable to print, rather than doing Q 4, 5 & 6, I’d like you to try and measure a few things in your house – the perimeter of your table, the perimeter of your bedroom and the perimeter of a door frame in your house. If you don’t have a ruler or anything to measure, you could measure with your feet or with A4 pages – these are roughly 30cm long so if you managed to go around your table 15 times with an A4 page your table has a perimeter of 4.5m!
