Good morning, all. This week, in school, we would have been enjoying one of our themed weeks, Being happy and healthy. Despite this, and as it is now even more important to look after our own physical and mental health, we’d like to share some ideas to look at the theme of being happy and healthy at home.  Start by watching this clip from BBC Bitesize and reading these top ten tips for families to keep healthy and happy at home.

Maths:

Year 3: In this BBC Bitesize lesson, you will learn how to add three-digit numbers together. You don’t need to print the worksheets if you don’t want to – write the calculations in your books. Be careful to line the columns up correctly.

Year 4: We are focusing on fractions this week. Here is your video lesson ,led by Mrs Alloway from Scholes, and worksheet. You can mark your work using the answers.

Reading: Our text this week is about social distancing. Here’s the video and text.

Art: Today we are focusing on shading and will be practising our techniques. Here is the worksheet and the lesson link. (You don’t have to print the sheet; if you wish you can draw straight into your home learning book.) I found this activity to be really relaxing – I hope you do, too! 

Spellings: For spellings this week, I would like you to practise words from the Y3/4 word list. You can use the handwriting sheet or any other method that will help you to remember these spellings.

Good morning, Year 3 and 4.

It’s Friday – well done for completing another week of home learning.

Maths

Here are the answers to yesterday’s learning.

It’s challenge Friday – have a go at these challenges on BBC bitesize.

Reading

How did you do with the reading task yesterday? Here are the questions Joe wrote for his retrieval work. Can you answer any of them?

1. Why did the character wish he’d worn jeans?
2. Give me 2 reasons why it was so noisy?
3. What did Emily plan to do later?
4. What danced silently in the shaft of sunlight?
5.  Were the water lilies pink, green, or white?
6.  The main character was really into ponds? True or false.

In today’s task, we are going to answer these RIC questions based on this video about R L Stine, the author of the ‘Goosebumps’ books. The first question will be an opportunity to test the retrieval skills that you have been working on this week but in a slightly different way. Just like with a text, the answers to this retrieval question can be found in the video. We hope you enjoy getting to see and hear from the man who wrote the texts that we’ve been reading over the course of this week. Here is your reading video of Mrs Welsby explaining today’s learning.

Spanish

In this lesson, we will recap our knowledge from last week and we will build on our knowledge by learning the days of the week. We can then use this, as well as our previous knowledge of months and numbers, to say the date in Spanish! For this lesson, you will need some paper and a pen or pencil to write down your new vocabulary.
