MORNING

1. Maths

Please work through the White Rose Learning Video using the link vimeo.com/474985075 about multiplying by 10,100 and 1,000.  Please have a piece of paper and a pen or pencil to jot down your answers and working out.  Remember to pause the video when you need to do calculations and give yourself plenty of time. Also remember that the answers are always given by the person who is presenting the videos. I have also uploaded the White Rose worksheet and answers to accompany the Learning Video.  If you feel confident I have also uploaded some Maths Mastery worksheets about multiplying by 10, 100 and 1,000.  I have also uploaded the answers. 

1. The Holocaust Memorial Foundation Project

To help mark Holocaust Memorial Day, we will take part in a live session to find out how we can take part in a hands on activity provided by the Holocaust Memorial Foundation Project and help create a long lasting and tangible memorial for those who lost their lives in the Holocaust. In this session, we will discuss the events surrounding the Holocaust in an age appropriate fashion. However, if you would like to check out the resources and information we will be sharing in advance please follow this link:

If you feel that this session is not suitable for your child, please note that this session is not compulsory. At the end of the session, your child will be invited to take part in the Foundation Stone Project. For more information on this project please see the attachment I have uploaded.

 

 

    3. English

1. Your writing this week will be about the Victorian workhouse.  I want you to do some preparation work before you start your writing activity on Thursday.  Today I would like you to reread chapters 4 and 5 and jot down using bullet points any facts about life in the workhouse.  For example, the inmates washed with freezing cold water and families were separated.  The second thing I would like you to do is watch 3 BBC Bite Size video clips about the workhouse and again jot down any facts. Here are the links:

2.  Please finish your ‘Talk for Writing’ Booklet. 

AFTERNOON

3.  Reading

Please remember to read independently for 40 minutes!  For your 30 minute Guided Reading Session I would like you to read Chapters 6 and 7 with your grown up as a paired reading activity.  Take turns and talk about any tricky words that you find and what you think they may mean, looking carefully at the sentence it is in.  

 

 

 PE 

For your PE session today that you can do at home I would like to watch and work through Lesson 4 ‘Rock and Roll Gymnastics’.  The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvySZYSZFNY&feature=emb_logo

Then click on #This is PE just below the screen on the left hand side.  You will then see the selection of lessons come up.  Click on Lesson 4 ‘Rock and Roll Gymnastics’.

 

4.  Topic

1. This week in Topic we are continuing with our work about the Industrial Revolution on Victorian Britain.  Create your own Challenge Cards using facts from your activity last week and any notes you took from the slides I have given you. Last week I gave you several sheets.  Use the one with the images of 4 cards each with the title ‘How did the Industrial Revolution affect Britain?’  Cut them out and write on the back some short facts about 2 of the areas on the front.

2. As an ongoing activity I would like you to work on your own project.  Do a little bit of research about famous Victorians and choose one that you would like to study in more depth. This project will last for the term.  Include illustrations and pictures.  You can either type or handwrite your project.  Dip into it when you have finished an activity and have some time.
