Today we are going to begin to write a set of instructions.  

First of all I would like you to watch this video.  This is still so important at the minute and will be even more so when we you all return to school.

Now I would like you to break down the washing hands part into clear steps. 

2minutes 35seconds part onwards. 

You should be able to make 8 different steps – if it says repeat on the other hand, keep that as part of the same step.  

You can do this as a list, or in a little diagram that we call a flowchart.  You can use this sheet if it helps you.

This will be your plan to use for the rest of the week.

Please find some time to enjoy a good book.

You do not have a spelling list for this week, but I would like you to find the Year 3 and 4 spelling list Mrs Davies gave you last week and use this to choose 8-10 words that you need to practise.  Have a go a practising these all week, you can use rainbow writing, write it big, write it small, write it without looking at all,  pyramid writing adding a letter each time, write them on little bits of paper and stick around the house as passwords – whatever helps you to remember them.

You will need to get an adult to test you on these words on Friday.

Have a go at following the set of instructions to draw a bird.  As you follow the instructions can you spot the features we looked for yesterday?  How are they helpful?  What are the most helpful features?  Diagrams? Numbered steps? Clear steps?

When you have finished I’d like you to label as many features of information texts as you can remember.  Then look back at the checklist from yesterday- how many did you remember?

This half term we will be learning about 3D computer design – or Computer Aided Design.  This is used in so many different industries and really helps many people to plan and try out different designs before things are made or built.  It is a great computing skill but is also good for your spacial awareness and being able to visualise models.

Please use pupil code 92A9

Please look at Activity 1 – watch the short video and then have a go at the little building game.  Each level will unlock the next one as you complete it.  Can anyone get to level 15?

Have fun! – You may be able to send me a screenshot of the last level you get to.

Hello everyone – I’m so sorry but I’ve just realised my explanation for the geography lesson wasn’t very clear at all!

Please just try to label the continents and oceans – not every single country – that would be really mean of me!!!  I’m so sorry if anyone has tried to label lots of countries – well done if you gave managed any, but I just had visions of children trying to label every country in Africa!

Sorry again 🙁

You may have seen at the end of last week, the Perseverance rover landing on Mars.  This is a very exciting project that hopes to discover if there was ever simple life forms on Mars.

With that in mind I’ve chosen some comprehensions this week about past explorations.

This one is about when astronauts landed on the Moon back in the 60s and the other is about women of the skies.

Hello everyone!

We hope you’ve managed to have a good half term and have found some fun things to do to keep you busy.

Hopefully we’ll find out today more about plans to get you all back into school and hopefully we wont be in this situation too much longer.

Don’t forget this week we’ve got reading of our story live everyday at 10:30am and keep an eye on your emails for any links to any maths introductions on Teams.

We hope you have a good week – we can do this!!!!
