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 you will be looking at ‘Paint the Squares. You will need to access it online, so you will need to go onto the blog and open it, in a new window. It will test your timetables knowledge. If you finish before the register there will be another piece of early morning work 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.
Can I remind you all that no one should be in their pyjamas or in bed! 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: MATHS – CUBE NUMBERS
Today’s live lesson is all about cube numbers. A cube number is the product of a number multiplied by itself 3 times. For example, 8 is a cube number because 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
You will, as always, need pen and paper.
Today’s main worksheet Cube Numbers
Today’s ‘support’ worksheet for those of you, who are finding the main sheet overly challenging Cube Numbers Support
The extension worksheet, if you manage to finish the main worksheet, dives deeper into Cube Numbers Ext
Remember to use your resilience if you are finding it tricky. You can all do this!
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.
Literacy: RAINFORESTS – WILDLIFE – ANIMALS
You will need a pen, lined paper and any of the notes you made pertaining to animals.
You are to continue to write your paragraphs for your Rainforest information booklet. Today we will be looking at Wildlife – Animals of the Rainforests. This will be the second section of your information booklet (non-fiction text).
The focus of this week, is looking at the different ways in which you can start sentences. Remember, this will make your writing even more interesting.

11:15 – This is also an opportunity for any of you who found yesterday’s work challenging to join my room (epsvenus1)
PSHE: HOW TO DEAL WITH CHANGE
Start off by watching the video below. I apologise if it doesn’t work on school laptops – it’s not absolutely necessary though if you can watch it on a phone or something else, that would be great. Perhaps you recognise the illustrations – we have already read something from this author. As you listen, think about how the main character has responded to change.
Next task is to watch this video. It’s a narrated PowerPoint, by Mr Kelly, that talks about change and how we deal with it. Do you have someone to talk to usually? Can you talk to them now?
The main task is draw a picture of place the soothes you – somewhere you go when you’re feeling down. Maybe it’s in the garden, maybe it’s under the dinner table with a blanket thrown over the top…it’s up to you. Sketch it out using some of the skills Mrs Stutter taught you and surround it with the names of people with whom you’d like to share your feelings – good or bad, lockdown or not. I hope we can share some ideas when we meet this afternoon.
14:15 – 15:15: Live Session – AFTERNOON CATCH UP
Will discuss today’s work – was it easy/just right for you/difficult/challenging? We will, also, see who has collected dojo points for the day. Our daily dose of ‘quiz time, finishing off the day by continuing to read The BFG.
See you at 09:15.
