Whole class reader – We have now finished reading The Iron Man and will begin a new class reader after half term.  This week we will have a live session based on a poem also written by Ted Hughes.  I will send the poem out in advance of the lesson which will be at 9.15 on Wednesday.  Details have been sent by parent pay in order that you can access this.

Spellings – We will be revising spelling words with the suffixes ing, ed and er.  I will provide you with a link to the site Spellzone and you will also have some flash cards and definition sheets to help you learn and practise these words.

Grammar – This week we will focus on punctuating direct speech.   I will as usual upload a powerpoint and sheets for Tuesday and Thursday  Please remember that while I have to upload a set of 3 sheets, I do not expect you to do all 3.  We would usually do sheet 2 in class but you may feel you want to challenge yourself further!

English – We will continue with the Goblinology booklet and you will be doing some fun practical activities to embed what you have learned about writing instructions!

Maths – We will recap multiplying and dividing by 3, the 3 times table and multiplying and dividing by 6.  You will receive the link to a recorded lesson and the worksheets and answer sheets will be uploaded to the blog each day.

Maths fluency – I will continue to set math fluency activities which will mostly be practising times tables using a variety of platforms and activities.  They will correlate to the skills you are working on in your main maths lesson.

Science – Using the Oak Academy teaching videos and quiz, we will be thinking about which substances don’t fit into one state of matter.  I know that some of you have already been thinking about this!

RE – We will be thinking about how Christians today try to create a world that Jesus would want 

Art - I have time tabled 2 art sessions this week.  The first will involve practising the grid method to transfer an image accurately.  In the second, I would like you to use this skill to create a self portrait.

ICT – I have set  keyboard skills activities on Purple Mash for you to complete in your scheduled session on Thursday

PE - This week we will be focusing on footwork.
