Good morning everyone! We have reached the end of another busy week and are so proud of all the hard work you have done at home!
Here are your home learning tasks for today- please upload evidence of your work onto school spider so that we can give you feedback.
Maths- we are finishing our week of learning about angles by looking at angles that are larger or smaller than a right angle. What do we call these angles? Log onto school spider to find out more!
English- today is your opportunity to use the checklist to go over the Tanka poem you wrote yesterday and try to edit and improve your work. Are them some words that would be replaced with better adjectives? Are you happy with the order of your lines? Remember that it still needs to follow the Tanka syllable pattern! 5-7-5-7-7
Art- this afternoon we will be pulling together all that we have learnt so far about African masks to design out own mask. Think carefully about the kind of colours you have seen used and the shapes that Artists have used to make different features like the eyes and the mouth.
I hope you have a successful day learning at home children! Pop back onto the youtube channel or the class blog this afternoon when I will be posting another video to tell you about our exciting art work next week.
Don't forget your timestables rockstars- there's not long left to help your class be champions this week!

F2 Friday 29th January 2021 Home Learning Tasks, by Miss Ward
Date: 28th Jan 2021 @ 5:38pm
Hi F2,
Here are your activties for today:
Literacy – Wanted Poster
We are so impressed with the instructions you created yesterday.
We want you to make a wanted poster so Goldilocks can clean up the mess using your instructions. Think about what she looks like and what she did. Can you include that in your poster. You might even want to draw a picture of her too.
Phonics – Consolidation
In Phonics, we are practising our Phase 2 and 3 phonemes:
Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss)
Phase 3 (j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er).
Play sentence substitution: Read the sentence and then swap one of the words in purple to make a new sentence to read.
You can hear a goat. (toad – song – see – coin).
They might meet in the town. (market – summer –we – fish.)
The shop is on the corner. (church – right – shark – boat)
Maths – Repeated Patterns
We have been so impressed with your repeated patterns. We thought you might like to make another one but this time with some yummy treats.
You might have some biscuits (or something alike) at home. Or you could pick up one of the baking packs from school (Annexe building 10am -11am) and make some if you like. We would like to decorate some biscuits or make some of different shapes or colours to create a repeated pattern.
PSED: The squirrels who squabbled.
Before playing the video. Look at the front cover of the book. How do you think the characters are feeling? What does the word squabbled means? What might they ‘squabble’ about?
Watch the video The Squirrels Who Squabbled by Tim Field - YouTube
Think about: What does it mean to share? Do you think the characters were good at staring in the beginning? What did they learn? Do you think it is important to share with your friends? Why?
Can you create a poster showing ways you can share?
Wellbeing Activity: Bake some yummy treats with your family. This might help with the maths activity for today.
Have fun and remember to post pictures of your work on Tapestry!

Good morning Year 3! Hope you're having a good week! Thank you for all the super work you have uploaded and delivered to school.
Your home learning for today is uploaded on school spider. Your learning tasks today are as follows:
Maths- we are continuing with our work on right angles and will be focusing on clockwise and anti-clockwise turns. We will be exploring some maps using our knowledge of turns.
English- today you will be using what you have learnt so far about Tanka poems to write your own about the Egyptian pyramids! Think carefully about which words you can use to fit the correct syllable count.
History- this week we will be finding out about the Ancient Egyptian ritual of Mummification and why it was such an important part of their belief system. Can your order and explain the steps in the process?
Keep logging on each day to Timestable Rockstars- I wonder which class will win this week's battle?
Have a great day everyone! Mrs McAlynn, Mrs Fitzgerald and Mrs McGunigall :)

Hi F2,
Here are todays activties for you to complete.
Literacy – Instructions
Look at the picture of the classroom (see attached). Speculate what might have happened to the classroom. Read the letter from Goldilocks to your child. Can you think of instructions to help tidy up the mess that Goldilocks has made?
For example: Pick up the pen. Sort the books. Bin the paper. Get the chair.
Can you write some instructions or words to help tidy the classroom? Remember to use your ‘bossy verbs’ such as ‘put, pick up, get’
Phonics – Consolidation
In Phonics, we are practising our Phase 2 and 3 phonemes:
Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss)
Phase 3 (j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er).
Practise the tricky words – we, me, be. Can you challenge yourself and write them too?
Read together and model blending tricky words and sounds.
We can be rich. She is in a rush to get it to me. He had a big shock.
Play a free blending game on Phonics Play. https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources
Maths – Shape Repeated Patterns
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EU1OpHyHnU Join in with the video. Can you work out what shapes come next in the pattern?
Cut out some 2D shapes out of paper. Can you make different repeated patterns? Challenge yourself and use three shapes in a pattern.
Can you count each shape and record how many you have used? e.g. 4 circles, 3 squares.
Thematic: Who’s print is this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqBg8Vvvleg Join in with the song all about animal patterns.
Play the hot seat yes or no game. Pretend to be an animal and have an adult ask you some questions about your animal. Remember you can only answer with yes/no. For example: Is it brown? Is it bigger than a tree?
Create a piece of artwork of different animal prints using sponges and other materials around your home. For example: For a snake you might print with bubble wrap.
Wellbeing Activity: Draw or paint a picture of everyone in your home with you.

Date: 26th Jan 2021 @ 5:40pm
Hi F2,
We can't wait to see all of your hard work on these tasks.
Literacy –Finger Spaces and Sentence Building
Ask an adult to write a simple sentence on paper and cut it up. Have the adult hide the words around your house. Can you find them and put the words into a sentence?
For example: The bear is big. The chair is hard. The bears walk in the woods.
When you have put your sentence together, can you write it in your book using finger spaces between each word?
Challenge: Can you think of your own simple sentence or caption to write?
Phonics – Consolidation
In Phonics, we are practising our Phase 2 and 3 phonemes:
Phase 2 (s, a, t, p, i, n, m, d, g, o, c, k, ck, e, u, r, h, b, f, ff, l, ll, ss)
Phase 3 (j, v, w, x, y, z, zz, qu, ch, sh, th, ng, ai, ee, igh, oa, oo, ar, or, ur, ow, oi, ear, air, ure, er).
Can you read and practise remembering these High Frequency Words: the, to.
Can you have a go at writing some captions? Begin each caption with ‘I can…..’
For example: I can run. I can dig. I can quack.
Maths – Patterns and Models
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zf33y9q/articles/zrmkcqt Watch the video about 2D shapes. Can you remember any? Can you play the shape matching games too?
Cut out some different 2D shapes. Can you make a picture using them? For example: a house, a car, a robot etc.
Challenge: Can you describe the properties of the 2D shapes?
Thematic: Who’s print is this?
Think of an animal, can you describe the animal to an adult or a sibling but don’t tell them what the animal is. For example: It is green. It has scales. It has no legs. What am I?
Draw an animal in your book. Then draw that animal’s print on a piece of paper and stick it over it, to make it look like a flipbook. Can you write some words or sentences describing the animal without saying what animal it is? Can you family guess what animal it is?
Wellbeing Activity: Do yoga – There are some brilliant yoga activities on YouTube on Cosmic Kids https://www.youtube.com/user/CosmicKidsYoga
