On Line Home Learning
This Spring Term is certainly different with the first part of it being completed through our online learning. The class have completed lots of different activities whilst at home.
In a morning we have had 2 live English and Maths lessons via Google Meet. English has involved studying various types of grammar and learning different spellings. We have spent time studying the first chapter of The Iron Man by Ted Hughes and looking at different types of poetry. In Maths we have looked at area, perimeter, multiplication, angles and the properties of 2D shapes. Each week on a Friday, Julia has led a SEAL lesson too.
Our afternoons have involved meeting toglether at 1pm and working with Mr Hulme for music and also following a variety of Oak Academy lessons on Earthquakes and Volcanos in Geography, The Ancient Greeks in History and Electricity in Science. We have done some meditation sessions and Mrs Dalton has set an art activity each Friday for the children to complete and then share with the class at the end of the day. At 2.30pm during the rest of the week we have been reading The BFG by Roald Dahl.
poetry
During some of our online lessons we have been writing our own poems. Below are 2 acrostic poems written by members of our class.
Lockdown
An Acrostic Poem about Lockdown written by Jack H.
Lockdown
Looking after ourselves
Only essential shopping
Coronavirus causing chaos
Keep 2m apart at all times
Don’t know when it’s going to go
Oh yes we have a vaccine
Willing us to keep positive
Never give up hope
Back to school
An Acrostic Poem about going back to school by Brooke M.
Back to School
Best friends playing on the yard. Amazing laughter in the pen. Caring teachers watching as we play with our friends. Kind Mr Worral waitiing and greeting us at the gate.
Teaching children great and fun work. Offering good support to those who need it.
Spending time with friends again. Children having fun during Golden Time. Having yummy lunch together. Over all the noise teachers trying to talk. Over your head, watch out for footballs! Loving out friends as we laugh our way through school.
Homework
Maths - Given on a Monday and to be handed in the following Monday .
English - Given on a Thursday and to be handed in the following Thursday.
Spellings - A set of 10 spellings given out on Thursday and children will be tested the following Thursday.
Times Tables - Every Friday the children will complete a Times Table Challenge. Their target is to be able to answer 144 multiplication questions in 12 minutes!
PE
Our PE days are Monday and Thursday and will take place outdoors. Due to the weather children are encouraged to wear leggins, jogging bottoms, tracksuits for PE and to have their kit with them everyday so that we can try and choose our PE slot according to the better weather.
Music
This year we are fortunate to be able to have guitar tuition for the whole class. These lessons will be on a Monday afternoon. If your child has a guitar it would be great if they could bring it to school on a Monday to use in the lesson. If not we do have guitars in school for the children to use and hopefully they will be able to bring one home to practise on in a few weeks time.
In a morning we come in and have a go at diffferent daily challenges. Below are some examples of the types of activities we do while everyone washes their hands, prepares for working and we have the register taken.
| Challenge One | Make a list of synonyms for the word "said" and use 5 of them in a sentence. |
| Challenge Two | Find 5 ways to make this sentence more exciting. "The boy played in the park." |
| Challenge Three | Draw a plant and label the different parts. |
| Challenge Four | Write an A-Z of countries. |
| Challenge Five | If 36 is the answer what is the question? Think of 5 different questions. |
