Wednesday 3rd
Prepare for World Book Day tomorrow by joining in the live reading session at 10.30. Click the picture below to join the 'Books that make you LOL!' event.
Don't forget to complete four hours of learning every day. Here is a suggested timetable for you. Don't forget to also look at the well-being page for activities to help you prepare for your return to school.
Maths
Starter LO: To apply my knowledge of the seven times tables.
This week, in our starters, we are practising our seven times tables. Remember, if you get stuck, you have things in your home learning packs which might help. Don't forget to keep using TT Rock stars too.
Try the problem below:
Main LO: To subtract using a formal written method
Click on the image below to join the Oak Academy Trust lesson on subtracting using the column method.
During the lesson you will be set the following problem to try independenlty:
Then try this:
Literacy
Starter LO: To improve sentences. Can you fix the sentences below? You will need to look at spelling, grammar and punctuation. Also, try to improve them, perhaps you could add adjectives, fronted adverbials or a subordinate clause.
Main LO: To identifying modifying adjectives and nouns. Yesterday, we recapped identifying noun phrases. Our next challenge is to identify modifying adjectives and nouns:
•A modifier is a word or phrase which is added to a noun or adjective in order to make it more specific. For example: Secondary school teacher. The addition of ‘Secondary school’ to ‘teacher’ tells the reader that the person is a specific kind of teacher therefore modifying the word ‘teacher’. ’Secondary’ modifies the word ‘school’.
Write your own sentences which contains modifying nouns and adjectives about the SpiderWick chronicles clip below. Underline the modifiers.
Guided Reading
Starter Let's revisit the vocabulary we have been looking at this week. Can you match the pictures to the words?
Main: To continue to develop our subject knowledge. One of the main characters in our next Guided reading text is a headteacher. We have thought lots about head teachers in the last two days.
Today I want you to find out if all head teachers are the same. Speak to different members of your family and ask them about their headteachers. Were they all nice?
Consider what head teachers or teachers were like in the past, e.g. what were teachers like in the Victorian times?
Science
LO: To recognise what plants need to grow well.
Starter :
Let's start today's Science session by thinking about the following questions. See if you can talk for at least 3 whole minutes, giving your answer.
'Why are plants important?'
Click here to watch the BBC video, which will help you to answer this question.
Main:
This lesson can last over two days.

We learnt before- what are the seven features of a living thing? The 7 life process are movement, respiration, growth, reproduction,excretion, nutrition and sensitivity. Plants do all 7 of these things. Plants need certain conditions to help them grow well.
Have you ever looked after a plant? What will happen if you took away one of the things a plant needs to grow? Will it grow if locked in a dark cupboard? Will it grow without water?
Plan an experiment where you can test out your ideas. Could you plant seeds in different areas? Over the next two days you will be planning your investigation. Day 1: Write down your investigative questions. |
Day 2: Write up your investigation including, a prediction, fair test, what you will measure etc. If you cannot carry this investigation out at home don’t worry- bring your ideas back to school with you next week and we will do it together.
Geography:
To use simple sketch maps to show how land is used.
To draw a simple sketch map.
Ada drew the map below quickly to show someone else the key features of the area to help them find a particular place.
What places can you spot from Ada’s map?
Can you see the park?
Can you spot the bowling alley?
What kinds of buildings does Ada identify? (For example: shops and restaurants, gym, cash
points.)
Could you give instructions for someone coming from the Youth Club to the no 36 bus stop? (For example: Down Silver St, towards Nelson St, turn left. At the traffic lights turn right. Past the cinema & gym then turn left onto Newgate. The bus stop is on the left after the shopping centre.)

What is around us?
Look at the two different map views of the area around our school. What key landmarks do we have around us? How would this look as a sketch map? 
What Can I see?
Using the Sketch Map Activity Sheet, draw a simple sketch map of a short familiar journey, for example, the journey to school.
*Children create a simple illustrated map of a familiar journey.
**Children create a sketch map including key landmarks and road names where possible.
***Children create a sketch map including key landmarks and road names, and considering
ways to show approximate distances between places.
