English/Living and Learning
You may have seen in the news in recent days a lot of stories about racism and inequality. There have been many protests all around the world about the tragic death of George Floyd in the US and the racism, that unfortunately people are still experiencing in today’s society.
Our Living and Learning statement this week is ‘I can see things from other people’s points of view’ and this is relevant when we think about people not being treated fairly or are voicing their thoughts and opinions when protesting or speaking about their own experiences of racism.
Watch this video clip– Racism: why is it still a big issue?
Write a summary to show what the video clip is telling.
Music
Listening or playing to music can really help lift your mood. Follow this BBC Bitesize lesson all about singing with feeling.

Hello everyone. We hope you had a good weekend, despite the wind and rain! Hopefully, now that Lockdown is easing a little, you have managed to see a few more people – from a safe distance, of course. I find it really hard not to hug friends and family that I haven’t seen for a while, but so far I’ve managed to keep that 2 metre distance. How are you getting on? We miss you all and look forwards to the time that we will see you again.
Maths: How did you get on with Friday’s challenge? Solutions here.

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:

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.

Hi everyone. Isn’t it a shame that we’ve lost the lovely sunshine! Although it does mean I don’t have to water my plants.

I love the fact we are looking at plants in science this half term.
