Happy Monday Room 13… and welcome to your first week of online learning!
Please make sure you have read Blog Posts 1 and 2, which I posted yesterday. This will explain how I would like you to complete work each week. You will also find, on Blog Post 1, a copy of the Weekly Timetable Template . Please make sure you use this each week, to plan out which tasks you will complete each day.
I would suggest trying to watch Newsround each morning before you get going with your activities.
Maths Activities:
- Sumdog
- Study Ladder
- One column of your Learn Its
- Big Maths Beat That
- Hit The Button
- Create your own game to practice all your times tables
Spelling Activities:
Spelling focus can be found by clicking on this link: Spelling 23.3.20
Try to create at least 10 words for each step.
- Pyramid Writing

Writing Activities:
- Complete your sci-fi story by logging into Glow and typing it on a Word Document.

- Write me a letter about your time in Room 13 so far.
Reading

- READ READ READ – Keep going with your class novel or choose a personal reader to read at home.
PE
- Copy and paste the YouTube link below into your search bar. Joe Wicks is doing a PE lesson every Monday which would be great for you to try!

HWB

SO! That is loads of activities for you to choose from. Remember you do not need to complete all of these… these are just suggestions to help you structure your week. If you come up with any amazing new ideas / games then let me know and I will post them for the class next week! Finally remember to send me over photos of your amazing work and I will share them with the rest of the class!
I will be online each day to answer any questions and remember to log on to the blog on Tuesday at 10am for our first ‘Tuesday Challenge!’

Hi miss McKinnon its me Hollie kirk it won’t let me make a PowerPoint x
Miss McKinnon I don’t have the emotional check in sheet
Hi Hollie, I’ve not handed out an emotional check in sheet. I would encourage you to try and make your own! x
If you log into Glow you should be able to access all the Microsoft programmes such as Word and PowerPoint. If you can’t open it up, you could make a poster instead.

Hi Katie here I am use to home schooling now doing well and thanks you for all your help.
Great effort Katie! ☺️
How do you do rainbow writing and what is hit the button.
Fergus.
Hi Fergus, rainbow writing is where you write out each spelling word, using a different colour for each letter.
If you search ‘hit the button’ into Google and click on the first link, Hit The Button lets you practice lots of different maths skills!
Thanks, Miss M
