Friday 29th January
Class 4
Happy Friday Class 4! It's nearly the weekend!
I look forward to seeing you all later on our Teams calls. Remember, we're doing our spelling tests on the call today so please have a piece of paper and a pen/pencil with you.
I would like to wish Jacob a very Happy Birthday for Sunday! I hope you have a lovely lockdown birthday.
Today looks like...
English - Guided reading on 'The giant's necklace' & spellings.
Maths - TT rockstars & Area of compound shapes.
1pm Teams call for Year 6.
1.30pm Teams call for Year 5.
PM - A Quiz & then you can choose your other activity.
(I will collect your spelling scores from you today on your Teams call, and I will see your quiz results too so you don't need to send me anything else.)
Don't forget that you need to do 30 minutes reading today and some physical exercise too. Look at the home learning tab for information about both of these. Remember, you can do these activities at any point during the day.
Well done to Sam and Jasmine who managed to submit their science work through Teams yesterday. I have given you some feedback, so go back in and have a look. Also a big mention to Sophia who did 42 sessions on TTrockstars yesterday! I have given you an extra dojo too Sophia.
Remember to look at the daily Collective Worship. You can find it under the News & Events tab on the website, under School News.

Spellings
I have got the next week's worth of spellings to give you. I will be doing this week's spelling test with you over Teams this afternoon.
Incase you need them again:
This is Year 5s sheet, list 27.
-Shakespeare and More Spelling Wordlist 27-V316189876.docx-
This is Year 6s sheet, list 31.
-Shakespeare and More Spelling Wordlist 31-V316189901.docx-
Remember that if you are in blue group, you don't use a word list. There is a list of the spelling groups and who is in each group on the first slide on the spelling slides below.
This is the weekly practice sheet that you will need to record your practice, or you could just write them on a piece of paper/ in a book.
-Weekly recording sheet-V316189969.docx-
Here are the slides that we would usually go through in class, except I've converted them into PP so that you can view them. Read and complete the slides and towards the end you will see this week's spellings. As always, you should write down the 5 I have given you and then select 5 more that follow the same rule from your wordlist above. If you are in blue group, you just practise the 8 spellings I have given you. You should practise them through the week as you normally would, and we will do a test next Friday over teams.
You have also got a spelling task like usual; please make sure you do this as it will help you learn the spellings.
Here are the slides:
