Friday is here again!
You have all been very busy this week and produced some super home learning. Don’t forget to keep checking the class news page.
We have a few things to get through today and I’ve given you a ‘Freedom Friday session.’ I will explain this a bit later on.
Task 1
Spellings
Listen to my sentences and write down the correct homophone.
There are 5 sentences but remember you only need to write the word not the whole sentence. Pause the recording after each one.
Times tables
We have been learning our tables throughout the year.
Listen to the recorded times tables test. Try to answer each question.
Task 2
LO: To be able to correctly use exclamation marks in sentences.
Complete this activity.

Task 3
Freedom Friday
Today, you can choose one (or more if you wish) of the activities below.
- The Great Race
She turned in the saddle and looked behind her. Emma could see the others gaining on her. Digging in her heels, she wispered some words of encouragement in the ostrich’s ear as it burst into full speed. They were making good time but there was still a lot further to go…….
Can you continue the story? Who is chasing Emma? Is this a race or some sort of an adventure?
2. Junk modelling – why not upcycle some waste materials in order to make something new? What can you find to make a model with? Be as creative as you like! Don’t forget to send a picture of your model to us.
Here are a few ideas.
3. Challenge your teacher
We have had one quiz already from lots of you. I enjoyed trying to work out who was who in the baby photos. Some of you haven’t changed at all!
Can you think of another way to challenge us? You are now the teacher and you need to set us some home learning!
Below is a challenge for you.
There are 10 pennies in the shape of a triangle. Can you turn the triangle upside down? YOU CAN ONLY MOVE 3 OF THE COINS!
Great learning this week everyone!
Enjoy the weekend and stay safe!

We are going to start our day with some Living and Learning. Here is the statement for this week.

Begin the activity by reading the story of Tom’s coins.

- Write a list of five things to remember about keeping our money safe.
What is thankfulness?
Thankfulness is an attitude of heart, acknowledging and enjoying all the good things that we have been given.
It is important to say ‘thank you’ when someone is kind or generous to us.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WoaTCb3NzpHBy4js8X_fcF256uBJCdFE
LO: I can look for clues in a text.
Here are 3 imaginary friends mentioned in this chapter. Each friend has 2 questions to answer.
Evil Eggbert
He’s about the size of an egg and he sits on my shoulder telling me to do shockingly evil things. Once, he told me to trap my little brother under a laundry basket with three heavy dictionaries on top to stop him escaping. Don’t worry… I almost never do what Eggbert tells me to.
- True or false? Evil Eggbert is a kind, caring friend?
- Explain what type of friend you think he is.
Parsley the Imaginary Guinea-Pig
I invented her before I had any real guinea-pigs. And then it wouldn’t have been fair to get rid of her just because I got real ones. Anyway, the real guinea-pigs don’t mind that she’s imaginary. Also, I named her after myself because I was really young then and didn’t have a very good imagination.
- What is the name of the imaginary guinea-pig?
- Explain why this name was chosen.
PomPom the Ninja
He’s an imaginary ninja who looks after the imaginary unicorns at the end of my garden. Sometimes the other ninjas make fun of him for liking unicorns so much, but he doesn’t mind because unicorns are AWESOME. (They eat fairy dust and poop RAINBOWS)
- What job does PomPom the Ninja do?
- Does he work inside or outside? Explain how you know.
Finally, choose your favourite imaginary friend. Draw a picture of them and label it.
Task 3
Science
This lesson was posted on Friday. If you have completed it then have a go at some tree art. Be as creative as you like. You could choose do create a full tree or part of one. Here are some ideas.
LO: What is a deciduous and an evergreen tree?
Look through this powerpoint presentation and discuss. https://drive.google.com/open?id=159jboa4ekNsIzEU5meobFZVhchJosY6r
Questions
What does evergreen mean?
What does deciduous mean?
Can you name 3 evergreen trees?
The Acer tree in Mrs Freeman’s photo is a deciduous tree. Describe what will happen to the leaves on my tree.
These photos are of 2 different types of tree in my garden. Can you describe the leaves of each tree? Think about how they might feel. What is the same and what is different?
Now, take a close look at this picture.
The four seasons of the deciduous Oak tree.
The tree is pictured in winter, summer, spring and autumn. Can you work out which part of the tree is in which season?
What season are we in now?
Can you draw your own tree showing all 4 seasons? Splitting it into sections and using colour will help.
When you are out and about, look around at the different types of trees. Take a notebook and record what you see.
Here’s a fun song for you to enjoy!
