Good morning – happy Friday.
Reading:
Here are the answers to yesterday’s learning.
Book club:
In class, we’d usually have a Love of Reading session each week where we read something that we love. Adults use the time to read with children.
Today, I’d like you to…
- Get really comfy: wear some thick socks, a dressing gown or wooly jumper. Sit somewhere soft and relaxing.
- Turn all electronic devices off: TVs, radios, computers, phones, tablets, etc.
- Spend some quality time reading with each other. Read aloud, take it in turns, put on voices for characters, re-read things to improve how you’re reading them.
- Talk about what you’re reading. Which are the best bits? Why? Does it remind you of other things you’ve read or watched? Do you know anything about parts of it from other knowledge that you have? What do you think of the characters? What will happen next? Why do you think that?
Maths:
Today is challenge Friday! Have a look at this video where I explain your problem. Here is the sheet if you wish to print it – Mrs Welsby and I worked it out on paper so don’t worry if you can’t.
Spanish:
Today, have a go at learning some Spanish on the Oak Academy website. In this lesson, we are going to learn about where Spanish is spoken in the world and we are going to learn the Spanish alphabet as well as numbers 1-10 with Miss Harrison. You will need some paper and a pen or pencil for this lesson.
