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 will also cover some new areas of addition and subtraction too.
Can I use my bonds to 100?
Today we are going to look at bonds to 100 just using tens.
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.

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
BORING SENTENCES!!! Please see the worksheets attached. Can you alter these boring sentences by including adverbs?
RE
The four Gospels, found in this second part of the Bible - the New Testament - tell the story of Jesus’ life on earth, his birth, his teaching, the friends he called to help him and his Death and Resurrection. The four Gospels are each named after the person who is thought to have written it – Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The Gospel writers wrote for different reasons and different groups.
Q How many Gospels are there?
Q What are the names of the Gospels?
Q How do the Gospels help us?
In the Gospel of John, Jesus says,
‘Love one another. I love each one of you’ and,
‘You are my friends.’
