Message to parents 11.1.21

Dear Parents,

Firstly let us say thank you for all your hard work this week with helping the children get back into a home-schooling routine. They have been working really hard and we can see from their interaction on Purple Mash and by you emailing us that they are getting on well. 

For Monday and Tuesday next week we have put together the following activities. As before, the children are able to contact us on Purple Mash and you have the class email address which you are able to use to contact us should you have any questions. Mrs Leeson is in school on Thursday and Miss Foy is in school on Tuesday. On these days please be mindful that responses may be less than other days. 

Please make sure you regularly check your Parent Mail account and school website this week.  We are moving towards a new system for home learning from Wednesday for which the children will need to be able access their newly set up Microsoft Teams account.

Have a great weekend and thank you again for your continued support,

Miss Foy and Mrs Leeson.

You can contact Mrs Leeson through the class email at silverwembley@connectedlearningmat.co.uk.

Maths

To start this week we are going to focus on 2D and 3D shapes. We would like you to go on a shape hunt around your homes and see how many different 2D and 3D shapes you can find. For a challenge can you find any that are not on our worksheets?

Below we have attached some sorting activities for the children to complete for both 2D and 3D shapes. There are also a range of To-Dos on Purple Mash for the children to complete. 

English

Firstly, don't forget to look on Purple Mash for your spellings.  This week's words are:-

optician

pyramid

trouble

country

incomplete

mail

male

piece

vein

parachute

We would like the children to write a character description of 2d shapes of their choice.  We have set a 2do for the children to do this.  Please see the example below.

Once they have done this they can write a story about one of their characters just like a Mr Men book.  Please see the link below for an example of a Mr Men story. We have set a 2do for this as a create a story but please complete on paper or in another computer programme if you want to.  You can send any stories to us on the class email.

Art

In Art this week we would love you to have a go at building your shape character in English. You can use any 3D shapes you can find around your homes. You might use a football and stick a face on it, you could cardboard box or even an egg! Get creative and see how many 3D shapes you can include on your character.

Your first drawing for English will be a 2D version and we can't wait to see what you create as your 3D versions. 

Message to parents 6.1.21

Dear parents,

What strange and uncertain times! Please be assured that we will be doing as much as we can to support you and your child learning at home.

For this week, please try to complete the following activities.  We understand that for some it may be more difficult so we have suggested a selection of internet and paper based tasks.  We have also tried to suggest activities for which the children should need minimum support.  They can email us on the days we are working on Purple Mash if they need help.  Mrs Leeson will not be able to respond to emails on Thursday this week as she will be in school teaching.

Mrs Leeson and Miss Foy

Parents can contact Mrs Leeson through the class email on the days specified above and during school hours

SilverWembley@connectedlearningmat.co.uk

Please continue to practise the written formal methods outlined in the attached PowerPoint.  If your child is ready, they could progress to adding and subtracting two 3-digit numbers.  Try mixing the questions up so that your child gets used to checking they are using the correct strategy.

We have also added some 2-dos in the form of games on Purple Mash.  All of these games can be played as and when your child wants to and they can choose their level of difficulty.  We would suggest they start each game at the lower level so they understand how to play. The games are designed to practise basic arithmetic skills.

We would love to hear what the children have been up to over the holidays.  We have set a 2do in the form of a diary for your child to complete. If they would rather do this on paper then of course this is fine.  You are welcome to send a copy to me via the class email address.
