Happy Tuesday!
Some of you already know how to use an adverb! We loved seeing them in your English work yesterday, well done! Thank you to those children who have already logged onto Sumdog this week, you’re already off to a great start. We are so impressed with all your amazing learning at home. We hope you work hard again today and we will look forward to seeing your learning on SeeSaw.
Keep active with Joe Wicks every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9am.

We will explain the structure on here each day but please refer to the additional uploaded documents for each specific lesson guidance and resources.
You should have received an email inviting you to join your child’s account on Seesaw – please check your junk mail if you have not received this. Through Seesaw, you will be able to upload work which has been completed at home and we will be able to give feedback. You will only see your child’s work and all feedback given will be private to your account. We are looking forward to seeing the super learning which has been completed at home.
Reading
It is ESSENTIAL that children continue to read every single day. This should be for a minimum of 20 minutes.
When you’ve finished reading, talk about what happened. Acting out the things that happened in the story or describing the big idea of a chapter is really fun and maximises learning. For example, ‘can you remember all the things that happened on the bear hunt?’
Oxford Owl – This resource has an exciting range of carefully levelled books to help children learn to read, and love to read.
If parents and children decide to use this resource, we ask they access phase 5 books. Go to https://www.oxfordowl.co.uk/ and select ‘my class login’. Scroll down to the red box ‘eBook Library for Letters & Sounds’

This week we will be doing a re-cap on addition and subtraction. We have already covered this area in class so children should be able to use certain strategies like drawing tens and ones, partitioning numbers or drawing number lines to help you work out the answers. We will also cover some new areas of addition and subtraction too.
Can I use related facts?
Today we are going to look at related facts.
We have uploaded an additional document named 'CHALLENGE'. This is only intended as extension work to challenge and push your learning. You are not required to complete this sheet. The WhiteRose sheet is more than enough.
Make sure you watch the video carefully and pause to answer questions on the worksheet.
Please follow the link and complete the worksheet attached to the class blog.
1. Watch the video (either on your own or with your child).
2. Find a calm space where your child can work for about 20-30 minutes.
3. Use the video guidance to support your child as they work through a lesson.

This week we will be looking at adverbs using the suffix -ly.
Adverbs
An adverb is simply a word that describes a verb (an action or a doing word).
• He ate his breakfast quickly.
The word 'quickly' is an adverb as it tells us how he ate (the verb) his breakfast.
Where to place adverbs?
Adverbs can come before or after a verb.
• He 'quickly' ate his lunch.
• He ate his lunch 'quickly'.
Let Johnny and Inel get you up and moving, while you learn about adjectives and adverbs. Through a song and routine, children will learn how to write better stories using adjectives and adverbs.
Watch this introduction to adverbs on BBC bitesize and have a go at the games – BBC bitesize - adverbs
Please see attached PowerPoint presentation and worksheet on changing adjectives into adverbs.
Music
