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 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: Literacy – Deforestation
Continuing with deforestation, today’s lesson will look at the way in which you can counter your arguments. We will be looking at the way in which we make our point and how we support our point. We are building, on the 5 points you made and how we can turn them into an argument. 1 point = 1 argument. We will be using P.E.E. What is P.E.E? So, have your mind maps with you and as always pen and paper.
To support you in your writing, use this wordmat to help you vary your sentences in your arguments. It will help to, again, make your writing more interesting.

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 100 (Recap)
This week’s topic is division. Today you will be dividing by 100. Division is splitting a number into equal parts or groups. Dividing can also be known as ‘sharing equally’. For example 200 divided by 4 = ? If you take 200 rubbers and put them into 4 equal groups, there will be 50 rubbers in each group. 200 divided by 4 = 50
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 two places to the right.

Today’s ‘support’ worksheet for those of you, who are finding the main sheet overly challenging Divide by 100 Support
The extension worksheet, if you manage to finish the main worksheet, dives deeper into Divide by 100 Extension
Remember to use your resilience if you are finding it tricky. You can all do this!
*LESSON 3 – Thematic -Write a Diary Entry
Start by watching this video – it explains the task, tells you to download this information pdf to use as your research and there is a modelled write to help get you started.
The task is to write about 3/4 of a page in first person as a Viking person. You’ll need to choose your job, where you live, what your hobbies are and what your religion is. It’s a bit like a diary entry so you’re allowed to be informal. Remember, you’re creating your character, so you can be anything – as long as it’s historically accurate. Upload before 14:15 if you can – if you can’t take photos then there is no reason you can’t simply type it up in your homework upload. Remember – no excuses!
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.
