Today in Science, we are testing the properties of materials. Read the presentation under this message, decide what you want to find out and share what you discover on Seesaw.
Today in phonics, we were using phoneme fingers to help us to write words. If you would like to practise this, play the game "Space Race" on Phonics Play. Today's explorer is James Cook (Captain Cook). Read one of the tasks below and answer the questions to find out a bit more about his life and adventures.
In today's RE lesson, we looked at what new life we might see around Easter time. We will be looking at the Easter story in detail over the next few weeks but for today, can you please share what you already know about Easter? It might be something religious (why it's celebrated) or it might be something secular (what might I find in the shops around Easter?).
Maths - Thursday 25 February
Today, we are learning about how we can measure. Follow the link below to watch the "Measure Length" video on the White Rose site. We went through the worksheet (Introduction to Measuring) together in the lesson and then you can either use the Cold Task to practice this or you could practise using a ruler to measure using the Warm Task.
Today, we are learning about Christopher Columbus. Try to learn the poem or song "In 1492" and then for your challenge task, see what other words you can find that rhyme with the words in the song.
Alternative Christopher Columbus songNot everyone would have been happy to see Columbus reach America. This song is about the people who already lived there and asks whether you can discover a land where somebody already lives.
Spanish - Wednesday 24 February
Today, we would like you to learn the song "La Cucaracha", which is a popular Spanish children's song. Follow the link below to find the song on our Spanish page.
Our second explorer in this unit is Ibn Battuta. Today, I'd like you to read one of the information pages about him and try to answer the questions. Then, after that, have a look at the map on the pictures sheet and see how far he travelled. Your challenge today is to imagine you were on a journey with Ibn Battuta and to write a postcard home about what you saw or did.
Today we meet the first of our Explorers, Marco Polo. Have a go at reading about him and then answer the questions. You can choose either the Warm task or the slightly harder Hot task.
Today, we have been learning about counting. We started by watching a Jack Hartmann Workout and Count video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_yUC1NCFkE&t=2s) and then we looked at the White Rose Activity video (the links to these are below).
For your activity today, I would like you to make up your own video counting in 2s or 5s. You can make it an exercise one if you like or you can just demonstrate the counting (maybe using shoes to count to 2).
Over the next two weeks, we are going to be learning about some significant people in history. But what does this mean? Today, we are going to be thinking about what makes someone significant.
Maths - Friday 5 FebruaryToday we have been looking at how we can REPRESENT numbers in 10s and 1s. Please watch today's White Rose video ('Represent Numbers to 50') and then have a go at the questions on the worksheet under this message.
Today in phonics, we continued to look at tricky words. Please play the Tricky Word Trucks game if you want to practise these. In English, we talked about how pirate ships had rules and I challenged you to write your own set of pirate rules. Try to use some imperative (bossy) verbs and then share your rules on Seesaw. Don't forget to start each rule on a new line and number them. If you want some inspiration, you could watch the Horrible Histories video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvguUNMvL38
Maths - Thursday 4 FebruaryToday we have been looking at 10s and 1s. We looked at how many tens and ones were in some two-digit numbers and then compared numbers by looking at how many 10s or 1s they had. Watch the White Rose video ("Tens and Ones") and then have a go at the questions on the sheet below.
This morning in our phonics session, we were thinking about phonemes (the sounds in words) and using phoneme frames or our fingers to help us spot them in words. We looked at the painting, "A Pirates' Discussion" and you told me that a discussion was a chat. We thought about the kind of things that the pirates might say to each other and I asked you to imagine a conversation between them and write what they might say in speech bubbles.
Today, we are learning about Las emociones (emotions).
I'd like you to watch the video that you can find on the link below and then ask your family, pets or teddies how they are feeling (Como estas?). If you can write their responses, great, but the most important part is that we practise speaking and listening in Spanish.
In our phonics session this morning, we were practising reading the Tricky Words that we have covered in our Phase 4 phonics learning. You may wish to practise these again by playing the Tricky Word Trucks game (Phase 4) on www.phonicsplay.co.uk. For our English task today, I'd like you to try to describe the picture underneath here. Use VERBS to tell us what people are doing and ADJECTIVES to tell us what people or things look like.

Today in our Phonics session, we were practising reading these tricky words do, when, out, what Then for today's English task, I'd like you to read Fergus' poem (under this video) and try to solve his riddles. If you would like to, could you write your own poem about the objects you chose to put in your treasure box last week?
We have been continuing with our learning about churches. This week, we are thinking about steeples - the towers on churches. You can see some examples on the document under this message.
We talked about why steeples might be built - to keep things safe, to make our bells easier to hear, to bring people closer to God or as the tallest and most important building in a town.
Your challenge today is to try to build a Steeple. How can you build it high whilst making sure it doesn't fall down - you can use any material you like - Lego, junk modelling - but you do need to EVALUATE your design - what went well, what could be better?
Finally, think about how towers in churches (and on mosques) allow a message to be heard by lots of people. If you wanted to send a message so that everyone could hear it, what would you say?
Maths - Thursday 28 JanuaryToday in maths, we have been comparing number sentences. We used the phrases "greater than", "less than" and "equal to" and the symbols >, < and =. Watch the video on this link ("Compare Number Sentences") and try to answer the questions below.

You can either write or draw them - you could use the story mountain underneath this to help.
Story mountain template - you can use this as a guide to help you.

Have a look at today's video on the White Rose link that I posted earlier this week if you weren't able to join us. If you finished the work I posted yesterday, please have a go at using what you know about number bonds to 10 to work out your number bonds to 20.
