What an amazing day of learning yesterday! Well done everyone!

Remember, have a go at every activity set, even if it is a bit tricky! You are all doing such a fantastic job of persevering and staying motivated, so please keep it up!

For your lessons today, we have Maths, GASPS, Geography and Collective Worship. We also have two brilliant activities from Natalie too!

In maths, you are looking at decimal numbers again, so use what you learnt yesterday about tenths and hundredths. In GASPS, we are going to change the way we have been doing these lessons to be more like how we would do it in school. Mrs Johnson will explain a little more about this in the lesson! In Geography, as part of our new topic, your objective is to locate the major countries in Europe on a map. I have tried something a little bit different with this lesson, so let me know if it works okay! Then, you also have a lovely collective worship lesson from Mrs Burns.

FLIC - ZAHMK

Maths - G5MF9

GASPS - 5J4HI

Geography - HRJW8

Collective Worship - GTFEV

Here are the videos of Natalie's lessons for you:

I am very much looking forward to seeing all your work from today. Look out for the feedback post later to see if you can spot any of your fabulous work!

This week I am helping online with all of your lessons, Mrs Johnson and Ms Carney are in school with the UKS2 bubble and Mrs Entwistle will be contacting you at home to see how you are getting on!

As it is the start of a new half term, we have changed topics and our new one is called 'Gallery Rebels'.

We love it when you send photos of your work!

Thank you everyone!

Finally, some maths feedback for you.

I've been so impressed with how amazing you have all been at telling the time! Especially when converting the time from a 24-hour digital clock!  

Especially Ethan and Zahara!

Remember to look carefully at where the hour hand is pointing.

Today's Time to Climb leaders are:

Today's calculating the area of compound rectilinear shapes was super tricky - but you all did amazing! It's clear to see you have listened to the example and explanation slides carefully. Great work!

Look at this great work from Grace and Arsh.

Some tips to help when calculating the area of compound rectilinear shapes:

Split the shape into two rectangles first 

You multiply the length by the width

Add the two areas together

Don't forget...

FRENCH DAY TOMORROW! In my house we will be having a French breakfast and i will be wearing the colours of the French Flag :)

Good Morning everyone!

I hope you are all having a fantastic week! I have been so impressed with all the 100% reports ive been seeing on nearpod! Most of you have been having a go at all the slide which is just fantastic.

Today you have a GASP lesson, a fun ART session and a maths lesson.

For the art you will need some paper plates or you could cut out some circles from a box you have in the house (ask a grown up before you do this).

I hope you have a wonderful day and i cant wait to check on later and see all those 100%!

Aimee and Nathan did some amazing labelling on the draw it activity!

Faizan and Grace smashing it on the matching pairs game!

Great work from everyone who completed the fill in the blanks inverse operation sums. 

Especially Mustafa and Ibraheem who got full marks!

Outstanding work from everyone on your first lesson on area. 

Especially Aimee, Isha, Zainab.S and Yusuf.
