Hey Guys and Gals!

We are on week 5 of home learning and this week is only a 4 day week. We are off on Friday for the start of the February weekend. Another little reminder that you are all doing AMAZING!! I love how you are all showing our school value of resilience. This week we are going to talk about that on our Monday call and our Paths Kid call. Check out the timetable below as I have had to do another little shuffle because we are off on Friday. Miss you all!

Fantastic Mr Fox

As usual Mrs Rowan has uploaded your literacy work to Teams. If you need anything extra to do, feel free to try one of the reading comprehensions in your Reading Booklet. I have also set you a book to read on BugClub. This week it is: Tricking Our Eyes.

We will have a meeting on Monday at 12pm to have a catch up and see how you are all getting on. You also have a catch up with Mrs Rowan on Tuesday at 11am.

Writing

This week we will be using our characters that we created last week and writing a paragraph about them. You can put them in the setting that you have already created to make it feel more like the start of a story or you can just write a description of them. Try to include as much information as you can. Remember to use your notes from last week. Use the success criteria below to help you self assess your work.

Character Description Success Criteria

Everyone will be doing the same sheets for numeracy this week as we are covering 3D shape. I will still meet with each group separately so we can go through the work at your level.

Resilience alphabet

This week we will be introduced to the Resilience Alphabet. This is a toolkit of strategies that we can use to help build our inner strength and resilience. It will help us to take care of our own mental, physical and emotional health.  It will also help us to overcome obstacles that might get in our way.

This week we will go through what the alphabet is and why it is important on Monday. We will also go over our letter for this week.

Quiz

This week we will have a general knowledge quiz. Be ready to record your answers (pencil and paper or laptop/tablet).

Have a wonderful long weekend! I can’t wait to hear what you all got up to on Tuesday 16th February!
