Tasks for Today
You choose how and when to do your tasks. Tasks can be done in the assignments tab, class notebook, in a document which you email to me or you can just do it in a jotter and either send me a picture or ask someone at home to look at it and give you some feedback. You can do your work anytime that suits you, and in any order you like. However, if you need my help I will only be available during school hours.
Writing – Write a recount of what you have been up to this week. You should make a plan in your jotter to help you think about it and to make sure you remember all of the details. You could ask people in your house what they remember from this week.
Remember to include:
- Title (that tells the reader what the piece is about)
- Orientation at the beginning – who, what, when, where, why
- Sequence of events describing WHAT happened
- Time words like then, next, after that, firstly, finally, at last
- Personal Comment at the end to describe your feelings
Maths – Practice your 6 times table. Recite it (say it out loud) at least 8 times. You may also want to write it down on a whiteboard or scrap paper. Ask an adult to quiz you and try not to look at the answers!
Lastly, start a timer and complete the worksheet as fast as you can. How long did it take you? Do you remember your 6 times table much better now? Please turn in a document telling me how long the worksheet took you and whether you feel more confident in your 6 times table now.
6 times table practice
If you get finished quite quickly you could challenge yourself on sumdog,
PE – check out the “Fitness Monopoly” activity that Mrs McAlpine has put on the blog. If you don’t have enough space or it’s not safe for you to do PE in your house you can also check out storytime with David Walliams online. It’s called Elevenses and it is every day at 11 o’clock. Here is the link: https://www.worldofdavidwalliams.com/elevenses/
Make sure you have an adult’s permission to do PE. We want you to be safe!

If you can find the things you need in your house, here is a list of fun musical crafts that you can try (with help from an adult). This is an optional activity but I know some of you will enjoy it.
