Hi Class 2,

I am glad that some of you managed to complete the computing task on purple mash yesterday? I know you have a really good understanding of e safety so some of you were able to offer really good advice. If you haven’t managed to look at it yet, it will be available for you to complete until Friday. Here are today’s tasks.

Maths

For your warm up can you try this fraction matching game.  I suggest that year 3 work on level 1, year 4 on level 2 and year 5 on level 3. If you find it too easy, try the level above. If you find it difficult, start with a fraction you know. Remember to look carefully at the denominator (the total number) and the numerator (the number that you have).

We will be working from the White Rose materials again. Please find the links for the videos and the activities below.
Year 3 – Summer term w/c 27th April Lesson 2- Subtract Fractions
Year 4 -Summer term w/c 27th April Lesson 2 – Halves and quarters
Year 5 -Summer term w/c 27th April Lesson 2 – Subtracting Decimals with the same number of decimal places.

Year 3

Can you watch the video from BBC bitesize explaining what prepositions are.

There is an activity to complete under the video. Once that is complete, I have set you a 2do on purple mash called Bella and the farm.

Year 4

Can you watch the videos from BBC bitesize about proper nouns and pronouns.

Can you then complete activity 1 from the BBC site. Once you have finished that, there is a 2do for you to complete on purple mash called past and present.

Year 5

Watch the BBC bitesize video on how to use brackets for parenthesis. There is a short activity for you to complete underneath.

You can also sing along to this video!   Once you have watched those videos there is 2do for you to complete on Purple Mash called story snaps.

Take a virtual tour of The Titanic. I found it easier to navigate using the menu at the bottom of the page to look at each part of the ship. You can also move across the ship with your mouse. Once you have had a look at that, can you fill in the diagram of the cross section of the Titanic which you should have in your learning packs.

Something Else?

Try some origami. Below find the link for instructions on how to make a butterfly and a frog.

Good morning Class 2!

I hope you have all had a lovely Easter break? I’m sure that some of you managed to complete some of the Easter challenges that I set you? Well I hope you enjoyed them. I have mostly been spending time in my garden as the weather has been so lovely. I have also been enjoying some baking and crafts with my children. I hope you have done some lovely things too. Hopefully in English you will have the chance to tell me about them. Here are the tasks for today:

Maths

Could you complete the multiplication/divisors task on your 2dos in purple mash as a warm up.

We will now be completing some of our maths from the White Rose scheme of home learning. This is the same scheme that we use in school and has a useful video to help to explain/revise concepts before you complete a task. Please find the links to the White Rose materials below.

Year 3   – Summer term w/c 20th April Lesson 1 – Equivalent Fractions

Year 4 -Summer term w/c 20th April Lesson 1 – Make a whole

Year 5 -Summer term w/c 20th April Lesson 1 – Adding Decimals within 1

There is a link on the page to the activities but I have linked them below for you.

Lesson-1-Y4-Summer-Block-1-WO1-Make-a-whole-2020

Lesson-1-Y5-Summer-Block-1-WO1-Adding-decimals-within-1-2020

You can also find the answers to these tasks on the page linked above.

Let me know if you have any problems using these materials.

English

Can you write a letter about your experiences over the past four weeks including the Easter holidays? This letter can be written either to me or to a relative that you are unable to see at the moment.
Try to include:
An introduction – Why are your writing this letter? How are you feeling? Can you explain your situation?
A description of 2 -3 things that you have done at home. This could be learning based or it could be something that you have enjoyed with your family.
What is the best part about being on lockdown? – Why?
What is the worst part? – Why?
Conclusion/Summary (Something you are looking forward to, final thoughts or anything you have learnt?)
Perhaps you could then post this letter if it is to a relative, or if you have written to me, you could photograph it and post it on class dojo? I look forward to hearing what some of you have done.

Can you now ask an adult to test you on your spellings? You can find this weeks spellings under the spellings tab.

This week we will continue the Titanic work sent home in your home learning packs. Could you please look at the Titanic timeline PowerPoint below and then complete the Titanic timeline activity by cutting out the events and sticking them into your books in chronological order.

Titanic Timeline

Titanic – key events

Something Else?

Look at the animations on the BBC bitesize about how the Titanic was built. Find the link below.

How was Titanic built?

Also, remember to continue to read the books that were sent home in your home learning packs.

Have a lovely day.
