Well here we are again, at the end of another week of home learning! 
Well done to those who have logged their activities on the GET SET link ( Wednesday’s Blog). Please remember to add in all the activities from yourself and your family, too!
It’s Friday – so you know what that means! Who is going to check your spelling for this week? The words are easy – remember that they all end in the same letter! Do you give yourself a treat if you get them all correct?
Our writing focus this week involves your spelling words and any other words that you can rhyme with them.
You are going to be writing a poem about Earth Day.
We have written acrostic poems and poems which have rhyming word endings, so your spelling words would be great, but I will leave the choice of style up to you. The information from Wednesday’s lesson will help you with themes and words that you might use.
Now – here’s the exciting part! If you take a look at this site http://poetryzone.co.uk/ you will see that there is a section where you can send your poem to the site and there is the possibility that it could be published online! How cool would that be?!
Whether you want to send your poem or not, please make sure that you spell and punctuate your work correctly.
In your jotter please date and write I can write an Earth Day poem but you can give your poem its own title; and at the end, traffic light your work and add a comment.
Something a little different for maths today. When Mrs Keith came in to see us a few weeks ago, we were thinking about problem solving and enquiry and the different questions that we needed to ask ourselves. For this task you will need coins. Just follow the clues and move your coins around in the row until you have matched the clues. In your jotter write the date, I can solve word problems involving money, and draw your answers.
For this task, you are asked to look at the dice and imagine what would be on the other side of the dice using the clues. For the second question, do not use the dice totals shown – use all of the information that you have been given.
This site has lots of word problems to look at and you can try different number operations add/subtract or multiply/divide https://www.mathplayground.com/GrandSlamMath1.htmlan
In case you are missing learning about the Vikings, this is a great site for learning about lots of different topics. I have included the link to Viking myths, but feel free to look at anything that interests you.

As always, I would love to hear how you are getting on so please use the comments link to keep in touch. Let me know if you submit a poem to the poetry zone site and I will keep a lookout for it. I hope that you have a safe and relaxing weekend. See you next week!
