Good morning Venus,
Here is today’s schedule:
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 on the screen, ready and waiting for you to complete.
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 talk about kindness and introduce a kindness task, every morning, to be completed throughout the day.
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: Literacy – Deforestation
This week’s topic is deforestation and the focus is persuasive language. Today’s lesson will be an introduction to deforestation. Your ‘big write‘ is to produce an persuasive argument on deforestation. What is persuasive language?

11:30: This is also an opportunity for any of you who found Friday’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: Divide by 10 (Recap)
This week’s topic is division. Today you will be dividing by 10. Division is splitting a number into equal parts or groups. Dividing can also be known as ‘sharing equally’. For example 20 divided by 4 = ? If you take 20 rubbers and put them into 4 equal groups, there will be 5 rubbers in each group. 20 divided by 4 = 5
You have done this in the past, so I am expecting, that a majority of you should feel confident in doing the independent work. Many of you may find that you finish the worksheet quite quickly. If that is the case, I want you to attempt the extension worksheet.
When watching the video, make sure to take any notes, if it will aid in your understanding of how to divide by 10. You can go back or pause the video as many times as you want! When working out your calculations, use a place value grid to help aid your understanding. You will, as always, need pen and paper.
The digits move one place to the right.
