You may have seen on Tapestry, I have been asking for you to send in videos of you saying ‘hello’ to your classmates.
You can send a quick video, a drawn picture, a written message or even just a picture of you smiling, and I will be sending these to everybody who has submitted.
This will allow you to see everybody, who I know you are missing, and make each other smile 😀
This is a quick reminder, that tomorrow will be the last day to send something to me, before I pass them on to you.
Here is a picture from our last school trip: I love to see your happy faces.
Thank you for sharing your work yesterday, it was such a pleasure to see your engagement with the tasks I have been setting for you.
In English today, you are going to use your emotion graph, which you created yesterday, to write some speech sentences.
Please can you watch this video, and then write a speech sentence, for each of the points in the story that you labelled on your graph yesterday. I have included an example for you.

Well done to those of you who sent me in your answers for the maths bonus question. The answer was: Red flower = 20 and blue flower = 5. I saw that many of you got this correct, so well done 😀
I have also uploaded the answers for yesterday’s questions, and set you your next ones. Don’t forget to mark them and let me know how you got on.
In French today, please can you create your poster of Tuesday’s translation, and put it up somewhere in your home for all to see. You may want to tell your family members, that you will be giving them a quiz at the end of the week, so that they make sure to pay attention to your poster. I have included an example below:
Once you have found them,set up a race track.
Be very gentle with your snails.
Draw a start line. Make a label to say “Start”
Draw a finish line. Make a label to say “Finish”
Pioneers can write this.
Give your snails a name.
Get a timer on your phone or click on this link:
https://www.online-stopwatch.com/rocket-timer/
Shout “GO”
and your snails will romp off.
Who is the fastest?
Make a medal for the winner of the race.
You could try running the race on different surfaces.
Do the snails prefer grass or lunchbox to race on?
Return your snails to where you found them.
I have had so much fun watching my snails so I have included all my videos!
Happy Racing
Focus on 12
Yesterday’s Numberblocks and the Legs question was all about 12 and different ways to make 12.
My suggestion for today is to play around with the different ways to split 12.
I have got out an egg carton and some baking trays. You could draw circles and use counters or use paper plates. This will introduce ideas linked to sharing and to multiplication.
You could colour in squared paper or use lego.
Try setting 12 out in 3 lots of 4.4 lots of 3,6 lots of 2,2 lots of 6,12 lots of 1.
Look at the shapes that you can make-different rectangles
You could write number sentences for what you see.
How Many Legs?
Get out in the garden again and do some leg counting.
This guide groups garden creatures by the number of legs they have.
You could make your own guide by drawing the creatures you find and writing how many legs they have.
May the 4th be with you! I hope you have all had a good weekend. For those of you who have made a rain gauge, it would be interesting to share results to see how the rainfall differs depending on where we live. If you haven’t made one and would like to, you can find the instructions both on Tapestry and the website.
I hope that you are all still practicing the things that you challenged yourself to – I have heard and seen some amazing results already. I am still persevering with the Ukulele when I get the chance.
English
In English this week, you have a choice. I would like you to either end up with your story in a comic strip or, if you have the facilities, to have a go making your story into an animation. For either option you can use your story setting from last week to help you.
Today’s task is to try and a flipbook. This will show you how small changes build up to make a picture of something changing or happening.
Can you work out the numbers that need to go into the squares so that when you multiply the rows and columns you get the products shown? You can only use the numbers 1-9 and you can only use the numbers once.
The numbers in red show the difference between the sums of the products in the third row and the third column.
Can you make another grid that has a difference of 1? What is the biggest difference you can make? Is it possible for there to be a difference of zero? If not, can you explain why not?
ICT
I would like you to make a collage type poster all about yourself and the things you have been doing in lockdown. This can then be used to send to other children in the class, especially if you have not uploaded a ‘hello’ video.
Don’t worry if you cannot do this electronically, it can be made using paper and pens – the important thing is to collate the important information and present this in an easy to understand format.
I hope you all had a good weekend! The sun did manage to come out after all, which was a bonus! It is forecast to come back out after a little rain this morning!
Don’t forget today is Voting Day for us! Check in to Tapestry and vote for your favourite story read last week – its very easy!
Todays suggested learning is as follows;- (details on Tapestry)
In Maths, we are counting in 2s today! Use socks, pasta or whatever you have around to help you.
In English, we are completing our story. We have done all the preparation, now its time to complete it. Don’t worry if you didn’t start this last week, there is a lovely story clip for you to watch and talk about!
In Phonics we are looking at the oe sound – in words such as toe, woe and Mrs Roe!
Its Music Time – Yes Mrs Brown is indulging herself with sharing her love of musicals with you! Today, here’s a lovely song from The Sound of Music for you to listen to, sing along with and enjoy!
Remember, to keep smiling whatever it is you are doing. Keep sending pictures, videos and messages on Tapestry! I think you are all doing an amazing job!
Over the next few weeks I would just like to share some of my thoughts from the beautiful walks I’ve had.
‘ The world is filled with wonder and beauty. We just need to step out and take a look’
It would be lovely if we could all share our photos and thoughts for the day to create a class book for when we meet again soon.
Well it’s back to school Monday and I have a packed day of lessons for you, just like at school! (More details are on Tapestry)
Please pick and choose as you wish but I love seeing all the work and activities you have been doing.
First, some handwriting to start the day – concentrate on Bb
Maths – Let’s start with some key skills. Time yourself! Can you answer 10 questions in 10 minutes?
Next, a multiplication challenge. Can you learn a new times table by Friday? Year 2 try 2, 3, 5 or 4
Year 3 try 3, 4, 6 or 8. You choose and you could even make a trophy for yourself.
Then, complete the multiplication questions I’ve set on tapestry.
Good luck!
English – Reading and writing this week is based on one of our favourite books from last year ‘Meerkat Mail’ by Emily Gravett.
We can complete some reading together and a writing task. Write a postcard from Sunny explaining why he is leaving home to find the PERFECT place to live.
Science – Enjoy a nature walk with your family. Pick some wild flowers then find out their names and label them.
I hope you’ve had a lovely weekend, what did you get up to? I finally cut my grass!
In English, you finished writing your fabulous stories last week, and although we are now going to move on, we are still going to use the short film ‘adrift’ to help us. You are all familiar with the video now, which makes it easier for you to focus on the writing. I want us to look at speech this week.
Firstly, today I would like you to create an emotion graph. This is where you plot how Jane (or your character) is feeling, at different points in the story. I have plotted an emotion for every paragraph, you may decide to plot an emotion for the beginning, middle and end of your story. Here is my example to help you:
Today, in maths, I have given you your answers for Friday’s questions, and I have again set you another eight. We are continuing to work on addition, subtraction, multiplication and division this week. Let me know if you have any questions.
I have also included a bonus question, can you rise to the challenge?
We are going to focus on French, during our foundation subject this week. We will be looking at ‘days of the week’. Today, I would like you to watch the video, which helps you to say, and write the days of the week in French. And then I would like you to create a poster of the word Monday in French, and place this in your home somewhere for all to see. At the end of the week, I thought you might like to give your family a quiz, and see if they remember how to say the different days in French.
These words are tricky and your Pioneer will need help to work on these.
Post them around the house. Make them with play dough. Write them in flour…if you have any! Scratch them in the mud.
Put them on the mirror in lipstick.
Have fun.
Don’t forget to repeat all the letter shapes you have done already.
Happy Writing
Alongside the Bug Quiz book,I thought it would be nice to have a focus on some of our garden dwellers.
We can begin the week with snails. Here is a little video to get youstarted.
Pop out into the garden and have a look for some snails. I have found one next to a down pipe where it is cool and dark and damp.
Where can you find snails?
Here is a new reading book for this week. This one is non-fiction and it is good to point out all the features in the text.
Have a chat about the index and use it to find information. Point out the questions and the labels and discuss arrows and lines to join text and pictures. Use the contents page and the page numbers.
Go to YouTube and look at Geraldine for ‘qu’ to revise.
Have your sound mat handy to help with all the sounds.
Enjoy
Happy Reading
Maths Magic
So here is a little interesting problem for you:
In my garden I saw 12 legs. Which animals could they be?
Explain your answer. Perhaps you could use little animals and draw pictures .
You might like to write the number of legs next to each animal and write a number sentence for the total.
Remember to do some daily estimation and practise writing your numbers.
Do 20 claps,20 star jumps and 20 squats.
Dance along to our favourite counting video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKvgwVAGSgw
And watch an episode of Numberblocks to get ready for your maths magic.

Is Friday and the start of a new Month. We can’t believe it is May already!
Today’s suggestive activities are as follows…
English
You’ve all created some wonderful superheroes and ideas for your comic, great work!
I really enjoyed turning my storyboard into a comic story: ‘Silver Moon Shadow saves the night! Why don’t you give it a go? Remember to include: sound effects, colourful pictures, speech bubbles and your motto – all the features of a good comic story.
I can’t wait to see your work!
You might like to make a superhero family using a simple aeroplane design then fly them together.
Maths
I would like you to make a maths game to play with your family members.
You can make up your own game or I have uploaded some templates in which you could use.
Can you write some addition and subtraction questions for your family to answer and think of some rules for the game?
There are some nice ideas on this website and I have added some ideas above too to help you.
Recently in science, you have been identify and sorting materials based on their properties.
Today, I would like to move onto states of matter. There are 3 states of matter – solid, liquid and gas.
Watch this clip about them and then learn about how we can change the states of matter by either heating or cooling.
There is a sorting activity for you to have a go at then at little investigation you do with an adult it you wish.
More information about these activities is on tapestry. Mrs Roe will also be uploading a story to tapestry this afternoon so keep an eye out for that.
We hope you all have a lovely weekend. I (Mrs Burton), plan on getting out on a nice long walk with my children and my dog, Ozzy but I think we might need our waterproofs on!
Year 6 – you would normally be on the final run up to SATS but we already know that, this year, is very different… or is it. At Sleights, we know that SATS are a very small part of your journey and the fun you’ve had along the way and both the memories and friends made are just as important. You are all uniquely different and that’s what makes you special.
I miss every one of you but have been honoured to share your lockdown journeys through videos, photos and conversations with you and your families. Remember, your classmates are also missing you too so, keep sending in those ‘hellos’ and I will try and put them together for next week.
English
You should have the start of your story done and I’d like you to spend today getting to the end your story.
Where does your magical door lead? Can you get back or maybe you stay through the door?
Maths
Problem Solving
Look at the problems, decide what operation you need to do and then solve the answer.
Once you have solved the problems, look at the questions again and identify any information that you did not need to solve the problem (it may have just been put in there to try and catch you out!).
Story Setting
It’s Friday again already!
I’d like you to have a go at making one or more of your story settings over the next few days. You can do this either inside or outside and can use anything you like – have a look at the examples.
You might want to use natural resources, recycling or just art and craft materials that you already have. You might also decide to use Lego, Playmobil or other figures that you already have at home.
Please remember to take pictures of your setting (unless you are going to leave it all made) as we will be using these next week.
