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.
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: SPELLING TEST AND THIS WEEKS SPELLINGS
You will need a pen and lined paper.
Today, you will have your spelling test based on the words that you were given on Friday. These are the words that end with the suffix ‘ity‘.
We will be writing out, some of the new spellings in context with correct usage. You can do your handwriting practice as well and you’ll be able to use an online dictionary. This week we will be look at the suffix ‘???‘.
You will, also, be given your spelling words for next week’s ‘traditional’ spelling test.
This week’s spelling list – you can also print it off and practice your handwriting Spelling List
I have also attached the word search, that we normally do in class, to aid you further in learning your spellings Word Search
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***
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 – FOOD AND RESOURCES
You will need a pen, lined paper and any notes you made pertaining to plants/trees found in rainforests.
You are to continue to write your paragraphs for your rainforest information booklet. Today we will be looking at Food and Resources of the Rainforests. This will form the fourth 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.

Maths: MULTIPLY BY 100 (Recap)
Continuing with multiplication, today you will be multiplying by 100, 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 multiply by 100. You can go back or pause the video as many times as you want! You will, as always, need pen and paper.
Remember – when multiplying by 100, the digits move, two spaces to the left (the zero fills the empty space).

Today’s main worksheet Multiply by 100
Today’s ‘support’ worksheet for those of you, who are finding the main sheet overly challenging Multiply by 100 Support
The extension worksheet, if you manage to finish the main worksheet, dives deeper into Multiplying by 100
Remember to use your resilience if you are finding it tricky. You can all do this!
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.
Miss Nicols (“,)
Hi Miss Nicols! How are you? This is Liku’s mum here. It is nice to hear your cheerful voice everyday! It lifts our mood, too!
I’m writing to ask you if you could post English/ Maths/ Science answers for children’s tasks. Liku tries his best to complete them, so I’d like to check answers to make sure he understands them fully. My husband and I are working from home so that it would help us tremendously. He can correct answers by himself. It is not urgent as you are probably planning to do so.
You have your daughter at home while you are working. It is not easy! Thank you for your continuous nurturing and support for our children! You are a star, Miss Nicols!!!
Many thanks from Liku’s mum!
