Did many of you clap the wonderful NHS workers at 8pm last night? I’m sure I heard some of you from my front door!

Topic:

In history lessons this half-term, we have answered all of the following questions.

• When did the Romans successfully invade Britain?
• Who was the emperor during the first successful invasion?
• Why did the Romans invade Britain?
• Was Boudicca a Roman or a Celt?
• What was the name of Boudicca’s tribe?
• How did Boudicca die?

Answer these questions in your book. If there are any questions you can’t remember the answer to, why not use one of the links below to remind you? (They are fun to watch, even if you remember the answers!)

Here are the answers to yesterday’s learning for year 3 and year 4.

Maths:

Year 3 – find your addition and subtracting packs. Complete the “subtracting 2 digit numbers from 3 digit numbers – no exchanging” page. Remember to be careful where you place your numbers. Keep the ones under the ones column and tens under the tens column.

Year 4 – find your addition and subtraction packs. Complete the “Using inverse operations to check addition and subtraction calculations” page. Pretend you are Mrs Rowley or Mrs Welsby and mark the maths learning. Are the answers right or wrong? Can you find where they have gone wrong if the answer is wrong?

Reading: 

Find out all about the ‘Wooden Allfather‘ in today’s reading activity.

RE:

After Jesus was arrested, he was taken to be tried.  Peter was the leader of the disciples — the most confident, and perhaps the one you might
expect to stick with Jesus at his arrest. But after Jesus’ arrest, Peter denied Jesus three times – just like Jesus predicted.

³³ Peter said, “All the other followers may lose their faith because of you. But I will never lose my faith.” ³⁴ Jesus said, “I tell you the truth. Tonight you will say you don’t know me. You will say this three times before the rooster crows.” ³⁵ But Peter said, “I will never say that I don’t know you! I will even die with you!” And all the other followers said the same thing. Matthew 26: 33-35.

Have a look at this video of Peter denying Jesus.

Tell an imaginary story about yourself. Use your dramatic side! Your best friend has just ignored you in the supermarket, as if they didn’t know you. Next, someone came up to them and said, ‘You are friends with him/her, aren’t you?’ and they looked at you and said, ‘I’ve no idea who they are!’ and walked off. Explain how you felt. How would the pupils feel? You could write this as a story or you could draw a comic strip and speech bubbles – the choice is yours!

It’s Wednesday – we’re halfway through the week!

Here are the answers to yesterday’s maths learning for year 3 and year 4.

Maths:

Year 3 – find your addition and subtracting packs. Complete the “adding 3-digit and 2-digit numbers – with carrying” page. Remember to be careful where you place your numbers and the numbers you have carried over. Keep the ones under the ones column and tens under the tens column.

Year 4 – find your addition and subtraction packs. Complete the “Estimate answers speed challenge” page. Here are the allowable ranges for your answers:

Reading: 

Today’s reading task is all about Really Rare Runes. Remember, the answers are on the second page so don’t scroll down until you’ve answered them. There’s no need to print the sheet – just write your answers in your home learning book.

Science:

Which are better: disposable nappies or reusable nappies?

Have a look at the data from last week. Think about how many nappies a baby will use in their lifetime and they all go in the bin. Is that right?

Have a look at the statements on this sheet. The statements are for and against the use of disposable nappies. Sort them into two lists (you can either print them and cut them up or write them in two columns in your book).  Then, decide if you think babies should use disposable nappies or should all babies use reusable nappies?

Here is today’s learning.

Maths:

Year 4 –  find your maths addition and subtraction pack. Complete the “large numbers addition worksheet and missing number 3-digit addition” pages. Remember to be careful when you’re carrying your tens and ones. If you want some more practise, this game lets you practise.

Reading:

The reading task today is a comprehension task. The answers are on the second page so please don’t look before you have answered! These sheets do not need to be printed – just write the answers to the questions in your books. Remember to put today’s date!

RE:

You are going to be writing a diary for Mary, the mother of
Jesus, for three important days in Holy Week: Jesus entering Jerusalem
(Palm Sunday), the day Jesus died (Good Friday), and the day Jesus
came back to life (Easter Sunday). Think about how Mary would be feeling, what she would be seeing and what she would be hearing. Remember your introduction writing from English – this would help you write each day’s diary entry (WWWWWH). Each diary entry only needs to be a paragraph of writing.

Here are some short clips to remind you what happened on each of the three days: Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday.

Hi children,

We hope you’re having a good week and you’re managing to get your learning completed whilst your grownups get their work done too.  Maddie has been keen to help with my learning!

Here are yesterday’s answers to the maths worksheets for year 3 and year 4. Here are yesterday’s possible answers to the RIC.

Here are today’s learning activities.

Maths: 

Year 3 – find your maths fractions packs. Complete the “comparing  fractions with the same denominator” pages.

Reading:

The reading task today is a comprehension task. The answers are on the second page so please don’t look before you have answered! These sheets do not need to be printed – just write the answers to the questions in your books. Remember to put today’s date!

Science:

This half term, we have been looking at “The Great Nappy Challenge”. We have investigated which nappy was the most absorbant but have you ever thought how many nappies a baby wears and uses?

Your challenge is to work out how many nappies a baby would wear in a week, a fortnight, a month, 6 months and a year if they wear 5 nappies a day. Write the answers in your home learning book.

24 March 2020: Home learning

Good morning!

Here are your tasks for today.  Remember … each day we will set three main tasks. In addition to these, we would like you to read for at least twenty minutes per day, practise your times tables facts and weekly spellings (uploaded each Monday).

Happy learning.

Mrs Welsby & Mrs Rowley

Maths:

Year 3 – find your maths fractions packs. On page one, when you’ve written the correct fraction for each shape, draw a line to match the equivalent fractions. Remember, Equivalent fractions are fractions with different numbers representing the same part of a whole. They have different numerators and denominators, but their fractional values are the same. For example, think about the fraction 1/2. It means half of something. You can also say that 6/12 is half, and that 50/100 is half.

Year 4 – find your maths fractions packs. Complete the Counting up and down in hundredths and converting decimals tenths and hundredths to fractions. Complete questions three and four from the problems on page 1.

Don’t forget to mark yesterday’s work.        Year 3 answers,   Year 4 answers.

Reading

The reading task today is a RIC. Read the text Coronavirus Storybook. Then answer the RIC questions in your books. Remember to write today’s date! I will post some suggested answers tomorrow. Can you complete the challenge?

Writing

For writing today, please finish your newspaper report. You should have already written the first two paragraphs.

In your third paragraph, you need to include two quotes from eyewitnesses. Work from your plan (or mine) to remind you who you might use.

Your last paragraph is about ‘what next?’ Use your notes to help you. You only need to write a few sentences in this paragraph.

Don’t forget to re-read your work to make sure it says what you want it to say.

23 March 2020: Home learning timetable

Hi children, parents and carers,

We hope your first day of home learning is going well. Having structure and routine in your day can help a lot. You may have already planned your day to match our school day, but if you need a help, we have attached a timetable of a typical school day that you might want to mirror. 

Don’t forget how important exercise is. You could start your day with Joe, the body coach, on YouTube (9am Mon-Fri) or later in the day.

You can also access the i-moves website for 5-10 minute brain breaks throughout the day. Why not keep a timetable to ensure you are active throughout the day.
